Mercs,
As you prepare to head out to new undisclosed locations to face the unknown, the Horzine Research and Development department has been up to its usual boundary-pushing with visions of how to make surviving and clearing out zed attacks more efficient and more gratifying to keep hard-working mercs happy.
The lab coats have stated that mercs love shotguns or maybe they just love the devastating damage they do. Either way, we have to agree that sending zeds flying into the deep void with a few well-placed blasts from a shotgun is grotesquely satisfying. To help accomplish more of this, Horzine wants to add the S12 Shockgun to your arsenal.
The S12 Shockgun feels hefty in your hands to reassure users that it is a mighty machine. Its shots confirm its lethality. Fans of the M4 will appreciate this semi-auto beast. Are zeds getting too close for comfort? The Shockgun is equipped with an under-barrel shockwave attachment that will make them think twice before getting in your face. Enforce social distancing with the EMP waves that spread out around you and anyone stupid enough to be in the radius.
Let’s talk explosions! Funnily enough Horzine lab rats are no strangers to explosions and the recent amount of lab rat bodies being disposed of indicates the HRG team has something new for you to try! Is it safe? The labcoats won’t say but the new HRG Bombardier will soon be your new grenade-lobbing friend.
There are two ways to make excellent use of your new sentry buddy in combat. The default mode tosses grenades at your foes’ chests until it is all out and can toss no more. It’s like playing catch but instead of catching a ball, zeds will get a grenade that explodes on impact. If you are looking for a bigger show, detonate the device yourself and watch the shower of explosions go off within a radius around the initial boom of the device. This impressive blast also occurs when the sentry runs out of its primary grenades. Engineers behind this weapon have left us with a warning to pass along to mercs before using them for the first time. It’s important that if a merc has already deployed one of these sentries (HRG Bombardier or Sentinel) a second one can not be deployed. Something about “interference”, “safety” reasons, and the other blowing up, we didn’t finish reading the fine print.
We will reach out soon with details about the location of your next mission. Armed with these new weapons, we are expecting huge success!
The S12 Shockgun will be added to the Armory Season Pass 2, the Ultimate Edition, and the Ultimate Edition Upgrade. It also can be obtained via direct individual purchases. HRG weapons are available with the update for no additional cost.
