[Merc] Sludge


(Mr-Penguin) #1

“You’ve eaten paste back when you were a kid, right?”

Class- Assault
HP- 130
Speed- 400

Profile- Coming soon!

Appearance- Wears a military grade CRBN suit with elbow and knee pads, as well as harnesses carrying extra canisters of goo. He also wears a large backpack (like every self-respecting Assault merc).

Primary Ability- Goo Gun
CD- 8 sec/discharge
Duration- 4 discharges max
Sludge equips his Goo Gun. The GG has two fire modes- left clicking fires off a blob of goo at range over a low arc, while right clicking shoots out a short ranged spray of goo with a steep arc. If an enemy is effected by the goo, their movement speed is decreased by 20, they are forced to reload their currently equipped weapon, make reloading and weapon switching 25% slower, and deals 5 damage per second. These effects last for 10 seconds. Both fire modes will “splash” perpendicularly off and in a circle where the goo hits. Directly impacting an enemy will double the effects of the goo only on the person it hit.

Weapons- Timik-47, K-121, Stark AR

Quotes-
“Sticky sticky sticky!”- Using Goo Gun
“It’s like super glue… but super-rer.”- On Direct Hit
“Why is the floor red and sticky? Is it strawberry milkshake? Is it melted gumdrops? Some of God’s tears? Or is it the blood of three people?”- Triple Kill (kudos to whoever gets this reference)

Notes-
Sludge is basically Nader- but with an emphasis on debuffing groups of enemies in a similar manner to Thunder. Unlike Thunder though, the goo actually deals damage and has another effect- forcing effected enemies to reload and slowing reloads as well as weapon switching, effectively rendering them defenseless for a few crucial seconds. If Sludge had a loadout card with Quick Draw… well… it wouldn’t be very good for the enemy team.

As always, thanks for reading and I’d love some feedback!

no, actually, ive never eaten any sort of adhesive.

overall, it seems like a sound merc. not one i would pick, but someone might, and piss me off in a match with him.

what im confused by is why does getting hit by glue prompt a weapon reload?

I dunno, maybe it jams the gun? :3
I was considering having a decrease in gun handling (spread, recoil, etc) or perhaps a random chance at a gun jam that forces the effected enemy to go through a short animation to clear the jam, but I figured both would be a bit infuriating to go up against, so I went with the forced reload instead.

I was also considering an addition of an “anti-glue” substance that could be shot from the Goo Gun that would cause effected enemies to slide around, but I thought that would be a little bit too complicated and redundant.
