Mercenaries

"Hey! Which one of you bastards was throwing the junk at me"

- Chuck, talking to the mercs



The Mercenaries are suvivors of the Fortune City outbreak, many wearing orange jumpsuits, gasmasks, bulletproof vests, hard hats, and armed with Merc Assault Rifles. Others are dressed in black suits with sunglasses and rifles, similar to the way Tyrone King dresses. Thirty-two in all, they are employed by Phenotrans, the Zombrex manufacturers, to harvest Queen Wasps from zombies throughout the city, as well as to help Tyrone King steal money and valuables from the abandoned casinos.

Locations
Mercenaries can be found at the following locations during Case 2-2: Ticket to Ride and Case 3-2: Run for the Money:
 * Underground Tunnels - ? on the train's freight cars
 * Underground Tunnels - 3 in the warehouse beneath Palisades Mall
 * Yucatan Casino - 7 in front of and inside the cashier's office
 * Americana Casino - 5 in front of and inside the cashier's office
 * Slot Ranch Casino - 6 in front of and inside the cashier's office
 * Atlantica Casino - 7 surrounding the armored van at the casino exterior
 * Fortune City Hotel - 5 in hotel lobby, 2 in helicopter on rooftop

Tactics

 * While in groups, their gunfire can be troubling. Using cover to get close is especially important if you haven't learned dodge roll yet.
 * They are easy to dispatch one on one. Just dodge roll away from their shots until you can get close enough to attack. Remember that dodge rolling causes you to drop heavy weapons!
 * Use strong weapons or jump attack with the Defiler as it is extremely effective.
 * Two swings with the Spiked Bat is enough assuming Chuck has even a couple points in Attack, and a moderately leveled Chuck can take them out with one swipe of Knife Gloves. One blow from a good weapon will knock them down - hit them again as they are getting up to finish them off.
 * If Chuck is low on health, try to catch them as they are reloading.
 * Have survivors help you while fighting. Arguably, the best suvivors to help you are the band members of Angel Lust as they can be recruited during the case Run for the Money.
