Splash Damage’s Dirty Bomb is fun, free and full of various unique characters with their own special skills, and making his debut right now is a new merc - Australian SAS veteran Redeye.
As well as looking a bit like a cyborg Saul Tigh, Redeye specialises in long-range combat, packing a Grandeur SR semi-auto rifle as his main weapon. His unique skill involves turning on his artificial eye, which allows him to pick out targets in infrared vision mode.
That doesn’t sound super useful on its own, but when combined with his smoke grenades, Redeye can obscure areas defensively while still picking off any enemies that blunder into them. He’s also a perfect hard counter to the annoying, invisible Phantom. Finally, Redeye carries the Kukri, a heavier, slower melee weapon.
You can purchase Redeye in-game for 50,000 Credits, or $9.99. All the details, plus the accompanying patch notes for the update thats drops alongside him, can be found here. Hey, you should give Dirty Bomb a go. It’s fun.
