"Alright, this'll be a bit risky... Wands, if you could take out the Skulldozer while it's stunned, I'll take out that Jeep. A little extra ventilation to the engine should do it."

With that said, Blue rushes over to C10 and sprays the rest of his HK416 magazine into the Jeep's engine block. Hopefully that'll take it out- he's in a very risky spot right now.

Wands moves to E17 and zaps a Knife upways. This should take out both the Skulldozer and Jeep if it remains.

Thank you for playing this second mission! This has helped me a lot in balancing midgame enemies, and I will make adjustments accordingly. All units shown will definitely be in the actual game!

Contract Chosen: Destroyer
Difficulty: Story

We've cornered the commanders in an outpost. Don't expect this to be easy, I've heard that they have a secret weapon or two, be prepared for anything; be prepared for a desperate last stand.

Character Creation is once again different. Perks have lose their progression and weapons have changed significantly. Weapon modifications are not available for this mission. You have 20 skillpoints to spend, and no special weapons for this beta.

Blue picks the HK416 and Glock 21 as his weapons of choice, and equips the Paladin perk deck.

He also dons the Denial Tactical Armor and picks up an Ammo Bag as his deployable.

As for his gadget, Blue picks up his old Laser Multitool from the previous mission. He's taken a bit of a liking to it.

For his skills, he picks up basic Redux, Stay With Us, and Last Words in Survivor, basic Breaching Expert and High Quality in Engineer, as well as basic Fire Training in the same tree, and gets basic Hardened, Chitin, and Overwhelm in Defender.

As for his first battlefield action, Blue deploys to J17, moves up to J14, fires two five-round-bursts at the Beamer, quickly reloads, and moves as close to F10 as possible with his available AP at that time.

SKILLS:
Breacher: Breaching Expert
Ronin: Basic CQC Ace, Bloodthirst, Heavy Weights Ace, Barbarian

Wands grabs an MK14 EBR, an Advanced Knife, and a Ballistic Vest. He keeps the Claymores/Shaped Charges, but swaps perks to Berserker. He also keeps his W.A.N.D. but tinkers with the circuitry somewhat, replacing its settings with Knives (1/2 quantity) and Thermite (1/3 quantity).

"Yes, rewiring a couple circuits completely changes the way it works. Don't ask me how."

He hops into the battle at L17, jogs to K17, and if the Beamer is still alive, stabs it. He then stabs Mili1, free-steps to J9, stabs Mili1 again, and free-steps to I8.

ROUND 2, BEGIN!
Due to lack of players I have dropped in some NPCs. Use them well.

Wands moves to K12, shoots the Shadow with 2AP's worth of bullets, fires a Thermite from his W.A.N.D. east to ignite Mili2 and Vortex, and moves to M13. He probably makes some cheesy one liner like Knife to meet you. or something like that, opens up the dial on his gadget a little. and lets the radiation leak onto his blade ("Yes this is real science"). He stabs Vortex and steps to L13.

Blue quickly darts over to J14 and fires two five-round bursts at the Shadower, then moves back over to I11 and reloads his HK416.

ROUND 3, START!

Decent damage has been done. Be careful of Cosmos, he's set up to deal heavy damage!

Wands moves to I9, spends 3AP on shooting Vortex, moves to I8, and crouches.

"Just stay behind cover where you can. The sniper looks nasty, but there's not much we can do about them until Vortex is down."

Blue strafes over to I8, fires three bursts at Vortex, then reloads his HK416, ducking if he can.
