Dirty Bomb is an absolutely fantastic game.
I imagine I could play this for a long time, particularly if it sees regular merc updates.
I brainstormed a few possible entries:
- Operator – Female merc who deploys and operates a camera drone.
The drone spots enemies within a radius, and can be self destructed for an EMP blast.
Expands upon the Phantom recon class, putting EMP where it makes sense.
- RICO - A slight male Italian merc. Deploys a jammer device that shields teammates from enemy spotting devices.
It masks teammates from recon devices and provides close range detection within small radius of the radar device.
A light weight male merc akin to Aura, nimble and low health. Starts with the auto shotgun (that is yet to be added to the game).
- Brick - Ex police merc that can equippedal with a riot shield.
Used for advancing upon choke points and objectives, the shield blocks bullets and explosive damage from the front.
Can also be used to bash enemies within melee range. Also, maybe the Pineapple Juggler perk makes sense with a shield merc?
- Shrapnel - A merc that throws or fires an explosive that detonates into 3 or more smaller aoe shards.
The explosive is thrown, and then detonated when the trigger is re-pressed. Interactive, and requires timing skill to be effective.
- ADDY / Flytrap - Merc that deploys a area denial glue bomb.
When thrown, it explodes into a glue puddle on the floor, causing mercs making contact to the adhesive to be slowed.
Thoughts or additional ideas?
