Thugs Mastermind Analysis


Accel

 

Posted

Courtesy of the new trailer for Grandville, and some clever spods over in the US, there are now some collated piccies of the Thugs powerset.

Annotated Screencaps

So we appear to have a Mercs-style set in that Tier One has a specialist (a la the Medic).

T1: 2x Pistol, 1x Pyro
T2: 2x Uzi (wearing Trenches)
T3: Superstrength Brute

The player himself seems to get dual-pistols as well.

Looks like thugs MMs get dual-wield powers... makes sense if the henchies get them

Oh, and the wtfwarwitch: bet it's in Recluse's Victory.

@Shift
Shift 50 DM/DA Scrapper ][ TTL 50 Kat/Reg Scrapper ][ Shabriel 50 Peacebringer ][ Ion Shift 46 Rad/Rad Corruptor ][ Thermal Shift 35 Fire/Fire Blaster
"A Scrapper is a lot like a chainsaw. Somewhat hard to handle, incredibly dangerous, and by far the most fun when wielded by the slightly insane."

The MM gets dual pistols?

I AM SO THERE!


IN MEMORIUM OF GAYBABY
CRUELY TAKEN FROM THIS WORLD WHILE SO YOUNG

Warwitch is a REAL '[censored]?!?' moment... I mean, she's not only a hero fighting alongside villains - she's also dead.

Anyway, looks like a cool powerset. I foresee millions of Thug MM's popping up on launch-day, only for 90% of them to go back to their previously established characters within a week or two when the new powerset isn't so interesting anymore...

wish there was like a temp power for Scrapping Dual Pistols.. Loved the look of Trenchcoats *AND* dual uzzis.

Although I do think elec brutes and thug MM's might be a bit more popular in the long run that arrows and sonics.

I think you're right Max. The Electric Melee set in particular could be immense. If Elec Armour is just a variation of EA though I think it will be a much smaller uptake.

So anyone have a link to that vidio? Would love to se it , but I can not seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks

[/ QUOTE ]I doubt It'll be EA variation, it will most likely have at least a damage aura, and be RES based... (basing that on the current powers we have).

I expect it will most closely resemble fire, but at it's best vs Energy rather than Fire, and with better protection from enddrain and without the gaps in mez protection.


I really should do something about this signature.

Hmm, it seems the Devs have come out on top with this set, maybe enough to make me go back to being a Mastermind too.

Yup, its 2 pistols, I watched the trailer again. Just before you see the hourglass on MM, you can see he has a gun in his left hand and after the hourglass appears he streches his arms out so you can see the gun in his right hand.

I've waited for powerset similiar to this come since COV beta. I can finally create my Yakuza-type Cov main.

Seems like a truly 'Matrix' style poweset to me, with the duel wield 'n stuff, although i'l stick with my robots tbh.

Nice find there MZ - I might just have to roll up yet another MasterMind when this set come out, so I hope we can depend on you for yet another great keybind

Really like the looks of those thugs too - can't wait to see them in-game and in better resolution.

Wonder if they'll be able to take "John Woo" as an acrobatics based secondary?
