Hacker can hack healingstaisons or C4 so the are going to explode if an enemy is coming to near to it.

Post suggestions about Weapons for him

thunder’s conc can already disable deployables. not the same as rigging them to explode but its more balanced.

Well…you could trap enemys with this and you have to be near to the healing staion so the can stop you.

you need to have a balance to this merc idea, what is to prevent me from just using this merc on execution or objective and trap the explosives from extream ranges?

(MrSoUndso) #5

You have too be near to the C4 to trap you enemies.

can you get some concept art going and upload, does not have to be perfect or the best but an idea and some comparisons would be nice. full list of what he does,stats, if any good with animation how it looks from the view of the player.

I had a similar idea for device hacking. His name was Cracker, and instead of rigging enemy deployables to explode, he could make them serve him instead of their original builder. This took form of the “Transponder”, an Ability weapon that is thrown onto the target objective or deployable. Yes, objective. He could throw the Transponder onto an objective to perform a helpful, context-sensitive action on it while he remained in range.

You asked for weapon suggestions? His ability required him to stay in an area for it to function, so he had high health, low speed, and a semi-auto shotty or assault rifles.

Im a bad drawer but if you want post your suggestions.

@Samniss_Arandeen Great idea for stealing deployables, although unsure how that would work on the airstrike marker or nades. Dislike the idea of repairing the EV at long-range or behind cover. Pros and cons on ideas. Always think of a way to counter any ability and how it would affect teamplay
