Merc idea Neo (cant come up with name)

(rubyCase) #1

Neo
Class- Assault
HP- 80
Speed- 470

His main use is to defend objectives and for high skill players to mess with people.

Electromagnetic Shield/(EMS)
Cooldown- 80 seconds
Duration- 3.5seconds
Stops all incoming fire from in front of you within a visible 2m radius. Your team mates cant shoot through it and fragmentation and Molotov’s are deflected . You put your hand out infront of you Neo style so you cant shoot while this is active.

Electromagnetic Propulsion system/(EMPS)
Cooldown-35 seconds
Duration- 10 metres/1second
Propels you in the direction you are looking. It works by propelling you from the base of the spine where he has metal rods inserted in him.

Weapons Light Arms
Primary- Tølen MP with 15 extra rounds
Hochfir
Shotgun Maybe
Secondary- M9 with 20 round mag
empire 9
deagle
Melee-
Beckhill Combat Knife
Cricket Bat
Stilnotto Stiletto

Note
The EMS can also be can canceled for a reduced cool down with melee and has slight charge up time.

The only reason Sparks uses a machine pistol is because of her revivr gun, but this merc would need a gun as an ability.

People got mad when phantom had (glitched, but very powerful) armor and damage absorption, even when he couldn’t attack without dropping it. - I’m skeptical at best: especially since the merc can’t be as useful in one on one fights.

You could give him the hochfir I just wanted something close to neo :slight_smile:

The whole point of this merc is to take out snipers to help the team in stalling a bit for the next respawn.

You know that phantom was initially meant as a counter-sniper, right? with his armor being able to withstand a head shot and return one of his own. - Even with red-eye around, he was changed to a melee class, which also failed.

Point is, until the devs find a solution, good snipers will still be strong in pubs and rather balanced in comp.

The reason I said he is counter sniper is because of is rush like ability he’s able to bum rush them (which by the way only moves you along the ground) and being able to block long lines of sight so your team can move behind you safer for 3.5seconds.
