Downfall - Champion Heavy Assaulter WIP

Description


In war, it is extremely rare for soldiers to amass a confirmed kill count over 100.

However, Vesitanian military advisors estimate that the average Revelation Heavy Assaulter will kill approximately 100 Allied soldiers before being destroyed, while veteran assaulters may well exceed that amount. Legends and tales surround the existence of champion assaulters in the Revelation ranks, who have supposedly amassed thousands of kills singlehandedly. Some are allegedly capable of spellcasting, though Allied intelligence has little information to corroborate those claims.

Nicknamed "hunchbacks" by American soldiers, the Heavy Assaulter is one of the most feared adversaries on the battlefield. Due to their brutality and tendency to engage in close combat, they are feared more than their superheavy variants, which tend to deliver firepower from long distances.

Despite standing twice as tall as the average human male and weighing a half-ton, they are surprisingly agile and capable of moving at blinding speeds by using their wing mounted quick-boosters. Aside from delivering wrecking blows in melee combat, their strength allows them to use a considerable array of heavy weapons, including high-capacity rocket/grenade launchers, anti-materiel rifles, automatic shotguns, heavy machineguns, and perhaps the most notorious of all - the heavy incinerator. Heavy Assaulters assigned to unconventional units have been spotted using non-standard weapons, such as large-bore handguns, dual submachineguns, and melee weapons such as maces, hammers, swords, polearms, and axes.

All Heavy Assaulters come equipped with wrist mounted weapons, which consist of machineguns or pile bunkers. Optional weapons include shoulder or back-mounted missile launchers and large bore cannons, though such accessories are avoided by assaulters that prefer to fight at close range, due to their added bulk and the danger of using them at short distances.
