Editing Warjack (section)

==[[Mercenaries]]==

Mercenary warjacks are almost all old, decommissioned models or armed laborjacks, and it shows. They have low stats like the Protectorate's, but without the Choir of Menoth and their many combos to compensate, and as such they are extremely dependent on focus and their warcaster's buffs to work. They are usually very cheap and do their job decently, without too much flash or show. The Four Star syndicates and the Covenant share most of the same models, chief among them the Renegade, Magnus' pet invention, with a a massive one-shot rocket and a giant chainsaw and the Mule, a jury-rigged mess held together by spit and prayers that nonetheless sports a very powerful steam cannon. The pirates field three converted "sailorjacks": the Buccaneer is a light skirmisher and gladiator wannabee with a net and a gaff; the Freebooter is a [[Sentinel|weaponized powerlifter]] that excels at dragging other warjacks to the ground and thrashing them while they're down; and the Mariner couldn't scream "I work on a ship" any louder with its diving-suit-like appearance, anchor in one hand and ship cannon in the other. [[Squats|Rhulic]] warjacks are slow and sturdy, and include two different moving turrets (one with a big full-auto shotgun), a battering ram with legs and a payload of grenades (so he can explode you while he rams you) and a weaponized excavator with enough strength to punch clean through most other 'jacks with its drill-fist.

Unlike the other factions, there are two mercenary Colossals - The Galleon and the Ghordson Earthbreaker. The Galleon might be the single largest model in the entire game. Its main weapon is a really big industrial claw, while it uses a really, really big harpoon to get enemies close enough to hit with the claw - If it doesn't kill them outright. It also has a lot of deck-guns, which are all AoEs. It is generally known as one of the better colossals. The other is the dwarven Earthbreaker. This machine is actually also made for labor, but fights just as well on the battlefield. Known for its really big grappling claws and its ability to shoot torpedo drills through the palms of them, it moves around the battlefield and forces the enemy to fight at your mercy. Again, though - You have to use one of the dorf warcasters to even field it, and it is very expensive in both money and points, so you don't see it very often.
