Merc Idea: Stryker

(inscrutableShow) #1

Name: Stryker

Nationality: Yorkshire British (If we can have a Texan, we can have a Yorkshireman)

Cost: 50,000 credits

Role: Fire Support

Backstory: An average man in his hometown of Rotherham (That’s a real place), Stryker lost his London job after the Dirty Bomb incident, because, well, his workplace was a smoking ruin. Thankfully, he was on holiday at the time, so he survived. When he was going through his attic with his family before their planned move, he came across his grandfather’s rifle. Well, Gramps always just called it “the rifle”. It’s actually an anti-tank rifle. Now Stryker leads from the rear as a mercenary, because with his “rifle”, why would he want to get close to the action? He has a family to come home to, after all.

Primaries: Timik-47 (Default), M4A1, Stark AR.

Secondaries: Selbstadt .40 (Default), M9, Caulden.

Melee: Cricket Bat (Default), Stilnotto Stiletto, Beckhill Combat Knife.

Main Ability(Q Key), Anti-Tank Rifle: A “Sniper” rifle that looks like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_anti-tank_rifle#/media/File:Boys_Mk_I_AT_Rifle.jpg The rifle does 400 damage to players (So insta-kill) and takes down about half of the EV’s health. The rifle carries 2 rounds, with a cooldown of whatever the cooldown of Arty strikes is. (Stryker is pretty much Arty that works indoors)

Secondary Ability(E Key). Ammo Packs: If you don’t know what those are, read the wiki.

another instakill ability without any downsides?

the only way to balance that damage would be a deployment penalty and no scope nor indicators

Your just making a better version of arty?

So, instakills, huh?

This guy would have to be banned from Execution or there would be a rage stampede

sees insta-kill - we have vassili for that: thank you. Imagine how it would feel to play against that.

Make it so that you cannot ads with this weapon and make it inaccurate is the only way I can see this being balanced or maybe no damage to players and less damage to EV because you got 2 rounds there and it works indoors. You have to be more original, don’t just take another merc and make them pointless.

@TheVulpesFox …behold the magnificent RNG rifle: will it hit? who knows! (pls no, though.)

give him mini ammo packs that only give 1 clip per magazine depending on which weapon is out, then I may consider the use of this ability.

Getting the EV down in 2 shots is a no, this should never be implemented into the game if it stays this way and its just like a precision based arty.
