(Sir_Zer0) #1

Stealthbolt (not final):

Class: Recon

Health: 100hp

Speed: 440

Abilities:

Crossbow:
-5 bolts at a time
-bodyshot 75, headshot 150
-running speed lowered
-reload time per bolt 1.4sec
-cooldown of every bolt 7sec
-silent shooting

Stealth mode:
-all noises you make are silent to enemies
-increased movement speed to 490
-jump height increased (1.5 times higher)
-lasts for 15sec
-cooldown 50sec

Stealthbolt has a prototype stealth suit similar to phantom’s that creates an aura around him making every noise he’s making silent. It also boosts his movement by functioning as an exoskeleton.

Weapons:

Primary
-Empire-9
-MP400
-Tølen MP

Secondary
-S&W.40
-Simeon.357
-DE.50

Melee
-Stilnotto Stiletto
-Beckhill Combat Knife
-Medieval Dagger (slash=35, stab=95)

(I wanted to add a new melee weapon with high stab and low slash damage which is as fast as the Combat Knife or even slower so let me know if you have a good idea.)

Stealthbolt once was a special force member of the US-army specialised in stealth operations. He is stubborn and very temperamental -probably because of his mexican origin- but was also one of the best, however one mission went terribly wrong. A drug dealer’s headquarter located near the border between the USA and Mexico was his destination. An easy job for Stealthbolt if he just would have obeyed his orders. He only was supposed to place some bugging devices to find out the drug dealers’ plans but he decided to look for information himself. He was discovered by a drug dealer and he had no choice but to kill him before he could alarm the others. Unfortunatly it was the boss of the whole headquarter and so the mission officially failed. Stealthbolt was demoted and sentenced to two months of eavesdropping work. Of course Stealthbolt was upset and enraged so he left without looking back to make his carrier in the streets of London. Equipped with a prototype stealth suit and a deadly crossbow he took along as souvenirs, Stealthbolt is the perfect hunter.

So what do you think about my merc suggestion? Would he be balanced? Or would you even want to play as such merc?

Headshot should be insta kill.

(TheOrangePhantome) #3

I agree with @gg2ez cuz it takes a while to reload the new bolt.

(Sir_Zer0) #4

Yup I wanted it to work like the sniper rifles so that you insta gib someone when shot in the head. Everyone except for Rhino is two shot bodyshot or one shot headshot kill.

Crossbow shouldnt be hitscan weapon, the arrows should have travel time (my opinion)

(TheOrangePhantome) #6

Well yeah ofc @TheNovice it makes sense for the weapon to have an arche.

(Sir_Zer0) #7

Yea with “work like a sniper rifle” I meant the damage and insta gib thing. Of course a bolt can’t travel as fast as a sniper bullet :smiley: but I don’t know how slow it should be though as well as how big the arch should be.

Make it so the crossbow has an adjustable firing strength (distance) and make it so that the more momentum gained by the bolt, the more devastating the damage would be, this way instead of locking a bodyshot damage amount, the Merc offers the player some freedom and the opportunity to learn which angles will provide the best damage.

(Sir_Zer0) #9

Good idea. I’ll add it when I figured out the best distance/damage formula.
