Does Splash Damage have anything planned for a merc with this kind of weapon?
Rocket Launcher?

“Javelin”, a merc that apparently existed during the very early stages of DB’s development had a rocket launcher as an ability weapon. While the merc themselves was never modeled, the launcher was, and still remains in the game’s files.

Since we’re talking about it weapons, any clue on how exactly Thunder’s grenades work, this guy uploaded a second video in what way Thunder’s grenades will even work? I’ve used him before but haven’t been affected by one of his grenade myself, his grenades are labelled as Concussion, in audio files there are different audio queues for being blinded by a flashbang and hit by a concussion grenade, in this video they blind him in his video on other items the concussive blast comes out of Aimee’s camera’s when hit, that along with a flashbang effect.
Could this be a hint of the Re-introduction of Dazzler as an alternative to Thunder?

I think that merc and the rocket mechanic existed back when they thought DB was going to have limited classes and be more like Wolf/ET (which had the panzerfaust). Not sure it would work well in DB or if anybody would really want it. The first issue is pub servers would limit panzer’s so everyone wasn’t going in as a panzer. However, when you sell classes in DB, people will want to use something they pay for and you can’t limit the use of a merc to 1 on a pub in DB for obvious customer related issues. So it just doesn’t work.

They mentioned on stream that Javelin is a she, so I’d imagine she’ll be added sometime in the next couple months.

They are in the files. I believe you either type “set SGPawn Items (A_Grenade_01)” or “(A_Grenade_02)” into the console. His concs seem far too mild to be effective. They are like much milder versions of flashbangs. Although considering Thunder’s amazing LMG, if they were any more effective he might be OP.
Also, I don’t think you understand Dazzler. He didn’t have any abilities unique to him that Thunder and Fragger don’t. He had LMGs for primaries, assault rifles for secondaries, concs AND frags. He was split into Thunder, with the better LMG and weaker grenade, and Fragger, with the weaker LMG and better grenade.

What I mean by Dazzler maybe being reintroduced is that audio files for characters, even Turtle have both concussion effect lines and flashbang effect lines, if one spawns Aimee Third Eye Cameras and attacks them they seem to have both Concussion Grenade’s camera shaking and the Flash Bang’s screen whitening effect.
An old thread suggested Thunder’s Concussion Grenades messed with player vision slightly and messed with player’s mouse sensitivity while Dazzler’s Flashbang’s would simply blind players.
Just imagining that he would for some reason be reintroduced just to fit a different playstyle or simply having a slightly different grenade type to disorient players.
