Yes, but that post is about the next free rotation, not the addition of new mercs to the game: “…a couple of our Mercs’ contracts are about to expire…” tells me we’re about to loose the current freebies.

Like @Szakalot pointed out, the silhouette on the left is Sawbonez, and the one on the right is Arty.

lol, totally read it wrong, twice


(Rimmorn) #24

Fletcher would be nice, correct me if I’m wrong but iirc he was an engi (which we only have one atm) and his sticky bombs would help deal with healing stations. Two birds with one stone.


(Nail) #25

Nader fix healing stations


(Rimmorn) #26

And create 2 new problems (martyrdom and grenade launcher balance)


(einstyle) #27

but he’s another shotgun merc, and you know how all the peeps are crying already bout them
so I’d still go with Bushwhacker or Nader

Ah forgot about that.


(sinKrin) #29

Has anyone got a link to some info on those mercs? As a newbie to the beta I haven’t the foggiest what roles they play.


(Harlot) #30

(sinKrin) #31

Thanks for that Harlot. After having a look I’ve voted for Redeye. I think the smoke grenades would mix the gameplay up nicely. A close second would be Bushwhacker. More engies would definitely be a plus.

hahaha so funny to read all this mimimi about martyrdom and nades… I guess people will always have smth to complain about just for the sake of it. Instead of that I suggest to put all of this effort to let devs know that the maps have to be redesigned considerably, else this will be the thing that makes people quit on the medium turm, rather than silly spam and nade reasons.
I bet the next released merc will be Fletcher. I really hope so.

Who’s the guy with the blue hat and nose ring and robotic arm


(DB Genome editor) #34

@smartIsland that would be Turtle. Or at least that’s the name we were given for him while he was still in development. We’ve seen the model, his unique ability (a deployable wall) and the Blishlok SMG was first seen in his hands, so it was probably meant to be his signature primary. But despite the fact that all the parts seem to be ready he was never released to us for testing… :frowning:

If he isn’t buffed since last time that’s gonna be one damn disappointment.

Bushwhacker was a beast back in Fall where his turret had very decent DPS. People learned good spot to put it, and learned how to counter it. It also goes down with one knife-hit.

Too much whine at Bushwhacker spam and he got debuffed to a point of uselesness. Huge cooldown, very little potential in the turret. If that doesnt change, I don’t expect much difference in people’s mercs of choices; Proxy >>> Bush

Back in the days where bushwacker was useful :

I can’t wait to know if they’ve made changes to his turret.

Did you guys like the video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bciwH3LzcZM


(Szakalot) #40

Yup video is sweet,good tips&tricks I like that it involves actual gameplay scenes rather than some scripted eventts.

One video for each new merc would be a great way to introduce them, and serve as perfect tutorial in game.

Maybe even contests for people to submit video best tips, etc.? (winner gets merc for free? : ))
