“Let’s light up the night!”
Class- Recon
HP- 120
SPD- 400
Profile-
An agent of the CDA, Illuminator was a rescue worker specializing in nighttime search and rescue operations. He was transferred to London a week after the initial attacks as the leader of a search and rescue team. During an operation at a collapsed research building, his group was attacked in the darkness by the newly formed Jackals. Only he escaped, an experimental scouting flare gun in his hand and an intense fear of the dark in the depths of his head. While he still works for the CDA, he has acquired a god complex due to seemingly impossible survivals of Jackal attacks and the need to avenge his fallen comrades.
Appearance- Fair-haired and of average build and height. Wears a jumpsuit with kneepads, reflective bands on the arms, and a compact respirator. He also wears a belt that has extra flares, a survival hatchet, a flashlight hanging on it.
Primary Ability- Flare Gun
CD- 18 sec
Duration- 8 seconds
Illuminator pulls out his flare gun and loads it. Firing a flare will spot enemies within radial LOS of it with a range of about 15 meters. Enemies remain spotted as long as they are in the flare’s LOS and for another 3 seconds after leaving it. The flare travels in an arc at a speed comparable to a heartbeat sensor and will skip along the ground once before sticking to the next surface it hits. Hitting an enemy with a flare will cause it to stick to them and cause 12 damage per second for the remaining duration of the flare. The flare cannot be destroyed, but shooting at it will reduce its spotting radius to 5 meters after it has sustained 50 damage.
Weapons- BR-16, Stark AR, PDP
New Augments-
- High Yield: Increases flare duration by 20%.
- White Phosphorus: Increases flare damage by 10%
Quotes-
“That wasn’t supposed to happen! Oh well.”- Upon directly sticking an enemy with a flare
“No one can hide from the light of justice!”- Upon firing a flare
“Light three, darkness zero.”- Triple kill
“I never thought I’d be doing this…”- Joining the attacking team (Jackals)
Notes:
Illuminator is my attempt at making a capable mid-ranged recon merc that isn’t a sniper or otherwise restricted to medium-long ranges. My vision on how to play him is to fire the flare at an arc above where you want to scout and then shooting the marked targets. It can also serve like a shorter duration heartbeat sensor as well, and it can even be used as a weapon!
