Listen up Operators!
Having willingly fought for you for many months, murmurings from the Mercs have been bubbling away under the surface for some time now. Flittering from squad to squad, talk of change has been rife. We did our best to “accidentally overhear” what they were chatting about, but damn, even Skyhammer can whisper with the best of them! The few discernible words that did slip out were “…noobs…” “…he doesn’t know what he’s doing…” and “…he ****ing kept bouncing my grenades back at me!!!”.
Soon, some Mercs will require you to earn their respect before deciding to join your squad. Dirty Bomb’s next game update will introduce a brand new way to manage your Mercs. A ton of work has gone into this whopper of an update, and it opens of plenty of interesting possibilities. This does however mean that you will not be able to access all Mercs right out of the gate. Aligning each of them to your side will be a little bit more involved than it has been to date.
While we want to see your reaction to the new approach with fresh eyes (we don’t want to give you too many hints before all the info is ready to go out to you), should there be any Mercs that you wanted to play more, you should probably do that this weekend ;).
Conclusions will be jumped to. That’s fine. We’ve got plenty of information coming your way about this in the not too distant future. Most of which we think you’ll enjoy!
