[Mercenary] Tesla


(Fyrix) #1

[BASIC]
[Mercenary Name]: Tesla
[Class Type]: Recon
[HP]: 110
[Speed]: 420

“Eh, the gun looks scary but it will kill you very quickly. Is very effective.”

[Role Call]: Tesla is Russian Recon Mercenary with a shocking blow.

[Primary Ability]: Tesla is equipped with an enormous Railgun Sniper which fires concentrated electromagnetic rounds. These electro-magnetic rounds have an EMP disabling effect in a small 2m radius upon impact. The Sniper loads 3 shots before needing a brief cool down. The size of the weapon causes Tesla to move much more slowly but packs quite the punch at a range. The railgun is required to charge up a shot before it is discharged and can only fire 3 shots every 30 seconds.

[Secondary Ability]: Tesla can exert a thermal scan of an entire map. This scan crosses the whole map very quickly and reveal enemy locations in an infra-red outline momentarily. This is effective to knowing where enemy strong points are quickly and being able to reroute around them. This only flashes enemies up very quickly and will pick them up for the whole team.

[Weapons]: Tesla is equipped with machine pistols as her primarys due to her Railgun Sniper. Her secondarys feature a pistol, much similar to Sparks.

[Tactics]: Tesla is very effecient at both close range and long range. Her railgun picks off squishy enemies very easily whilst her primaries can deal with enemies that get up close and personal. Pick enemies off from a range and try to stay out of the gun fire. Use your wits about you when using the railgun due to your extremely slow movement speed when it is equipped and make sure you charge it up. Use your thermal scanner when possible to reveal enemy strong-holds.

[Fight Back]: Tesla is fairly squish and poses no real movement potential. When using her enmormous railgun, make sure that you close her down quickly due to the fact she has to charge up every shot and only has 2 chances to make contact with you. She’s also extremely slow when it is equipped. Attempt to use cover where possible and close the gap.

[ADVANCED]
[Aesthetic Aspects]: Tesla should resemble sparks in some ways. Instead she should have longer black hair with blue highlights in it. She should have a smaller frame similar to Vassili and her railgun should be much larger than she is.

[Backstory]: The older sister of Sparks, she has come to claim her riches as a mercenary.

[Voice/Taunts]: References to the railgun, mother Russia and eletricity.

[Primary Ability]: Railgun –

[Aesthetic]: This should be enormous and resemble the one from Battlefield 4 to a degree.

[Gameplay]: When the Railgun is equipped, Tesla’s speed is cut dramatically and they cannot sprint. They’re at a slow walking pace.

The Railgun has a scope which is entirely optional for longer ranges.

It has 2 rounds which you’re able to fire. The ammunition refills every 30 seconds after it has been fired. The weapon requires a charge up which is indicated in the scope or around the crosshairs.

The Railgun causes 100 damage to any enemy, extremely potent to squishier mercenarys who are harder to hit yet gives a chance to slower bulkier mercenarys. It’s an instant kill to the head and is extremely effective in destroying generators.

Once a round has landed, it causes a temporary EMP effect in a very small radius.

[Secondary Ability]: Thermal Infra-red Scan - This is a small brief scan which will highlight enemy players in red through walls or any surroundings. It shows them very momentarily before disappearing. It has a long cool down of 40 seconds (to prevent untactical abuse). This will shows mines, turrets, sticky bombs and players. It sends a wave across the whole map and enemies are only highlights when the wave passes over them.

(Unlikely to detect Phantom when he is cloaked).

Check the class typing. You said it was a recon in the description, but listed the type as an Assault.

Actually, keeping it as an Assault and removing the IR+BombSquad goggles might be the right decision here.

Even then, it’s an infinite ammo Vassili (without good spotting) with additional secondaries and the ability to OHKO everything in sight. This is insane.


(Fyrix) #3

2 shots which have a long charge up delay requiring a line of sight. Reduced movement and 30 seconds to replenish ammo.

The ability is intended to do heavy damage, only if given the chance. Vassili or Aimee would annihilate them.

“Much bigger than she is”. This isn’t an MMO with disproportionate anatomy. You can’t carry something made of metal and carbon fiber that’s twice your size, let alone deal with the recoil of setting of an explosion in said item. Frankly I already think Aimee having the FEL-IX is messed up enough, that kind of frame could never handle that recoil without being shoved back.

Oh no, not another Russian Sniper…

@Bushwanker Vassili is from London.

@civilRoad have you any idea how big railgun prototypes are. Perhaps the wording was wrong, but its a large weapon none the less. Barrett 50. Cals look like an ‘MMO weapon’ but each to their own.


(BushWanker) #7

Sorry I thought Vasseli was Russian.


(_SnykeR_) #8

Did you get your idea from playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R?
nice idea tho.


(Fyrix) #9

Never played it to be fair.

Remove the EMP effect and the instant head shot kill. That sort of thing is what made people hate sparks’s 120 damage head shots from the hip. A full-map spotting effect makes this character a must-pick if released as-is and makes red-eye or other spotters look like wimps in comparison, regardless of duration or cool down. It also significantly reduces the effectiveness of flankers when coupled with the 100 body-shot damage.
