I do like this idea for a merc. His personality is very passive aggressive, but polite-ish at the same time. This makes for an interesting pair. The problem that I see is the nerve gas is very similar to Stoker’s incendiary grenade, since It causes a portion of the map to cause damage overtime.

Thanks for your post.

Maybe instead as a grenade you could use it as a tranquilizer dart with Needles. It would be small damage over time and speed reducing. Additionally the cooldown would be like 10 seconds

i like this idea, but i would make the tranquilizer dart useable at range carrying a max of 2 with a long cooldown. since i have no idea how Stoker’s grenades will work, it may or may not be too similar. if it is i would suggest they change it to some sort of mine or trap that explodes with the toxic gas. which would be useful in chokepoints, forcing the enemy team to take an alternate route. the toxic cloud should work exactly like Red Eyes smoke grenade where it’s dispersed by explosives but also lasts as long.
