[MERC] Frequency


(doxjq) #1

So without going into a back story (I’m sure someone else could think of one, I’m just having a quiet day at work and my mind is wandering) I’m thinking of a technical based, mid paced, fast objective, SMG electrical expert called Frequency. So I guess his class would be leaning more towards engineer?

Stats:

Health: 110
Speed: 420
C4 arming: 3 seconds (the same as all fast objective players eg: Proxy)
C4 diffuse: 4 seconds

Cost:

50,000

Abilities:

  1. IR / signal jammer. This could be a small console (or perhaps even in the form of a grenade similar to Vassili) that can be stuck discretely to a wall or a moving object and has the ability to jam enemy airstrikes within a 10 metre radius from where it is sitting at the time for up to 15-20 seconds.

This can also be used to temporarily jam the enemies electrical based equipment (such as health stations or bushwacker turrets) for 15-20 seconds aswell without blowing them up.

This kind of perk could be regarded as quite OP, so I was thinking of a rather long cool down time (perhaps 45 seconds or more)

  1. 1 x Flash grenade. 5 second effective duration on enemies, 30 second cool down.

Weapons:

As stated above, having strong perks and being very objective based it would only be fair to make this player a weaker slayer, so I was thinking something SMG based (Hochfir, SMG-9, Crotzni) like Proxy currently is.

All in all I think it would make a reasonably handy low scoring player. Very dependant on team work, and his perks are not based on killing but more in aiding the team to get objective work done faster.

Thunder’s concussion grenades disable deployables and blind enemies as well, which is what your merc’s abilities are.

thunder’s flashes can disable deployables? thats news to me.

Sorry if that is true, I didn’t play the game when Thunder was around so have no idea what he did.

Wow, just saw a video on Thunder. Seems like almost exactly the same guy, except my guy was medium health and pace with SMG’s only. Thunder kind of looks OP… But we will see.
