Mercenary

"Adaptability is survival."

ORIGINS

Mercenaries are soldiers without flags—veterans who survived the corporate wars by learning when to switch tactics. Their adaptive rifles were prototype weapons, designed to replace entire arsenals.

They've fought for and against every faction in Warpgate City. Loyalty is a luxury. Survival is mandatory. The Mercenary's only constant is adaptability.

PLAYSTYLE

The Mercenary is for players who refuse to be pigeonholed. Your adaptive rifle switches between sustained full-auto and precise burst fire, each mode with unique grenade behaviors. If you enjoy reading fights and adapting mid-combat—switching to the perfect mode for every situation—this versatile soldier rewards tactical thinking.
