Category:Mercenaries

Mercenaries are special characters that can be "hired" to fight for the Player, in exchange for an NX or GP payment. Mercenaries give players a chance to look unique, while granting the player some sort of advantage. One of the main downsides of using Mercenaries is that they cannot be equipped with any Uniforms aside from their own, and they cannot equip any other Vests except the one they already have on. This may pose a problem as some Mercenaries are very noticeable, and their vests and clothes may impede their camouflage and movement. However, most Mercenaries can wear Facial and Head Gear.

Specialists are a different type of Mercenary, and were introduced in June of 2009. Like the other Mercenaries, they can be hired with both NX or GP. Unlike other Mercenaries, they have heightened combat abilities and can also use Specialist Gear (which the other Mercenaries cannot). Like other Mercenaries, Specialists cannot be equipped with different vests and uniforms, but additionally cannot equip Face or Head Gear. To make up for these flaws, most Specialists have very special abilities, and they often utilize unique, higher-quality vests.

Trivia

 * Though Mercenaries are apparently "hired" to work for the Player, any kills/deaths received while they are equipped will still go against your KDR.
 * Apparently, each Mercenary has their own custom weapon. Each is modified to suit them personally, though whatever happens when a Mercenary uses his/her corresponding weapon is unknown.
