Woody (Fire Support)


(JJMAJR) #1

Flavor and Story
[spoiler]“I am all about justice and order. I’m pretty sure that cloaked rat calling the city’s cops, ahem, scrubs just picked up the soap in prison. I pity the wretched brat. Oh well.”

Woody is an immigrant from Cuba, landing in North Carolina from a boat. His family prospered off of working for environmental interests when Donald Trump became president and launched them off of a boat. He came to Jackal for work and was well accepted due to his experience in sniping, logistics, and policing.

His agenda is quite cryptic, no side knows what he really wants, he just inexplicably joins in at random depending on the context of the situation. However, he has outright master’s degrees in investigative accounting, so he might be a very dangerous person to be working with.

Okay, that has enough references to racist people, right?[/spoiler]

HP: 90
Speed: 400

Compound Generator
[spoiler]Woody can deploy something that recharges friendly abilities over time. It has the same recharge time as an ammo station, but half its resilience.

The generator only speeds up the charge time of friendly abilities by 15% of the recharge rate, and can’t charge abilities of friendlies that received recharge bursts within the amount of time it takes for that ability to recharge completely after full use.

This recharge bonus also doesn’t stack. The recharge points given to Woody is proportional to ammunition bonuses given by Kira’s ammo station.

To put this in perspective, 23-second recharge becomes 3 seconds faster.
If an ability with 4 seconds cooldown was given a cooldown recharge burst not caused by this ability, it would take 4 seconds before the generator can recharge that ability again.

EDIT: ammo giving abilities and charge accelerators cannot have charge boosts. That would just be too powerful.[/spoiler]

Helicopter Call-In
[spoiler]Woody can call in a helicopter to wreck bitches. The helicopter can shoot a mounted MG with half the DPS of Bushwacker’s turret, and can be taken out through gunfire in half the time. This is balanced out with the fact that it’s a lot harder to take out the chopper with explosives.

After some time, the chopper returns to home base. The chopper has double the cooldown time compared to Kira’s Orbital Strike, and functions in a similar manner, but with more range. Woody also needs four times the space in order to use his helicopter, which makes it impossible to deploy it in Underground.[/spoiler]

Woody uses only the truest of sniper rifles. He also has less sniper rifle ammo compared to what Vasilli has due to how Fire Support classes have less max ammo by default, relying on their regenerating ammunition instead.

P - PDP
F - Fel-ix
MO -MOA SNPR-1

Woody also uses shotguns.

A - Ahnuhld-12
H - Hollunds 880
R - Remburg 7

Okay, if this iteration of a sniper fire support is broken, I’d be open to the suggestion of making him a shotgun class with normal sidearms or vice versa. If it’s fair, the new loadouts would be called “Hunter” loadouts, just like how loadouts with rifles are called “Rifleman” loadouts as well as SMG loadouts being called “Operative” loadouts.

Woody also uses the same melee weapons as I suggested for my other class Breeze.

This guy might want to get his hands on the Dirty Bombs and nuke the USA, or end the Dirty Bomb conflict. Or both.

Lmao. Classic Trump.

The character in reality is completely different compared to the stereotype of Mexican people, but I definitely added some humor and interesting parts to his predicament. He could be as neutral as the other mercs, heroic, or outright horrible.

I kind of fear that I made a new main character. Like, more important to the plot than anyone else in the game.

@gg2ez Can you add serious criticism too?

Honestly? I hate the fact that it would be impossible for the Chopper to be deployed in UG. Even Kira, Arty, and Skybro can use their abilities on the objective areas in UG.

But Woody also carries a powerful primary weapon and can recharge said fire support abilities.
As well as Nader’s, Fragger’s, and Rhino’s abilities…
And med packs, smoke grenades, spotting…

And that’s why I don’t like this merc (no offense). I think it’s a bad move to dial back cooldown of any form.

The CD reduction is fairly small. It’s still there, but it’s small enough to not get out of hand. Countering this is as easy as taking out the generator, which is extremely fragile and dies with one hit of a knife.

It can save a Skyhammer 9 seconds if he sticks with it, but even just three seconds is noticeable enough for him. It, however, isn’t a replacement for another Skyhammer.

I also realized that making ammunition abilities profit off this is quite a bad idea, so I removed that feature.

Finally, 5 Arty players using the station might as well be 6 Arty players. That’s all the station could really do.

Why would I want to do that?

Not you, the merc I came up with.

@JJMAJR um ok, apologies, I was confused because you said my name.
