That link has some concept art I made for Trip. I’m not really an artist, so please judge it for the concept rather than the execution.

Wh… why… what
This isn’t Rainow 6 People when are you going to understand this. In a game where fast healing and wall jumps are a thing what kind of purpose would a visible tripwire serve other than beeing annoying once and then you shoot it down.
I mean it’s already a pain in the butt to use Aimees SNITCH companion since he goes down so fast.
I’m not criticising the Concept Art because I can’t draw and it would be unfair to judge it, but why do you people keep requesting mercs that don’t fit their asthetic of the game at all.
I only wrote one merc concept and was afraid that it would be garbage but if everybody keeps writing concepts like that I wonder why I was even worried.
Sorry but a big Nope from me.

Edit: okay sorry about that
As for actual criticism I just don’t think thats the concept of a tripwire is practical where you have instant killing mines and mollys to block of routes. The tripwire would just be used as a long range low Damage Laser for Example imagine somebody placing one of these on the pillars on the Chapel on… well Chapel.
Actual idea: reduce the Damage and the Number of them at a time to two
OR make the tripwire cap at a certain distance and higher the damage a little bit.
Sorry for the random outbreak.
