[Merc] Sweeper

(Mr-Penguin) #1

“Let’s just brush your corpse under the carpet, shall we?”

Class- Assault
HP- 110
Speed- 450

Profile- Coming soon!

Appearance- Has a stocky build with a large scar running down his left cheek. Wears a set of full riot gear and a [url=http://www.defensereview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Revision_Military_Batlskin_Modular_Head_Protection_System_MHPS_Ballsitic_Visor_and_Mandible_Guard_Maxillofacial_Protection_System_21.jpg]ballistic mask that conceals most of his face. A lightweight riot shield is hung on his back.

Primary Ability- Automatic Shotgun
CD- 2-20 sec
Duration- N/A
Sweeper equips his automatic shotgun and primes it. The shotgun fires at a rate of 150 RPM and does 77 damage in 11 pellets. It has a ten round magazine capacity that constantly regenerate at the rate of 1 shell every two seconds.

Secondary Ability- Riot Shield
CD- 15 sec
Duration- 10 sec (20 HP)
Sweeper pulls his riot shield off of his back and holds it out to cover most of his head and just below his knees. The shield reduces incoming damage by 40% with a 5% chance to completely block it. The shield takes 10 percent of incoming damage to itself, making it a total of 50% damage reduction. Cooldown increases by 1.5 every second in use, and it instantly starts CD when destroyed. Secondary weapons are usable while the riot shield is equipped, but with a 15% initial accuracy penalty.

Weapons- MP-400, Tolen MP, Empire-9, heavy pistols

If he gets a full-auto shotgun that regens infinite shells, he shouldn’t get SMGs, he should get Mac-Pistols.

OK, I’ll change that!
The shell regen is gonna have to be constant now in order to facilitate use of it like a primary weapon.

Interesting concept. Inspired by the Saiga 12 or AA-12 I presume?

If you’re talking about the picture, then no. I found it off of the Google machine.
The merc idea itself is a direct answer at a balanced auto shotgun merc for this thread.

Oh, I see.

Added new ability: Riot Shield. This is to facilitate a more assault-like role when the shotgun is on cooldown and to give the user a chance when fighting others with the machine pistols. Comment if I should make any changes to it.

Added appearance.

Giving him a riot shield (defensive item) and a sweeper shotgun (offensive item) kinda makes him a hybrid. Hybrids kind of ruins class specialization aka balance. Not all hybrids though. SPARX is kinda a medic sniper hybrid but the balancing factor is the cooldown of REVIVR. Maybe we can give the riot shield a weak spot, like make the shield a non-riot shield, the length being below the eyes to above the knee. So it’s still possible to land a headshot or a bodyshot. That 40% damage reduction is good. :bd
Basically if you put the shield on you get 150hp with a chance of some glancing shots.
Good idea. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the feedback! I felt that the shield would be used to facilitate a push and make his machine pistol primaries usable, as he fits the assault role. I suppose shortening the shield would be a good idea, and I might consider adding a weakspot.
