Mercenary idea: Taggart the tracker merc


(Kirtap101) #1

Taggart was always a family man, though he was very obsessed with keeping track of his wife, and his daughter, Tia. so much so that he had a motion tracker put on his daughter at birth. your probably wondering why he was so protective? well that’s the thing, no one really knows! some say he is just a caring parent, while others think that he may have a darker past. all that is known is that he is now a merc for hire and that he still keeps track of his daughter and wife. good god he’s obsessed!

Primary ability: TR4ck-3R Rifle
The Tr4ck-3r Rifle is a weapon of Taggart’s own design, using the same technology that he used for his daughter, once a tracker dart is attached to an enemy player, that player will be spotted until death, or an enemy melee’s it off.

note that a tracker dart can only be shot once before entering cooldown on the rifle.

cooldown: 20 seconds

secondary ability, (passive): Malware defense

Taggart has the natural ability to be unspottable. If an enemy tries to spot taggart, he will be alerted, however the spotting affect will not be applied.

health: 90

speed: 10 faster than phantom

weapons: dont know for this type of merc (please suggest below)

Surprisingly the closest thing to a balanced merc you’ve put up. An anti spotting tool makes vas and red eye (possibly aimee) less viable than they already are, however. Besides, we have the perk for that. - Spotting a single enemy until death seems a bit extreme. This isn’t zanyatta’s orb. (Sensing a theme with your ideas…) Even marking someone for the usual 3 seconds feels like ages in this game. Marking someone for your ENTIRE team to see for upwards of 20 seconds would just be bullying. A singular marked player would basically lose ANY confrontation they go into, as an opponent would always be aware and get the first shot. Yes, one could get the mark off via a teammate’s melee, but… Teamwork in this game outside of comp? Unlikely.
