Players in Dirty Bomb’s Open Beta will initially find 12 Mercs to fill out
their squad. Two Mercs – Combat Medic Aura and Fire-Support Specialist Skyhammer
– are always available free to players, and there will be a variation of
additional Mercs free on an ongoing basis. To kick off the Open beta, the
following Mercs will be in free rotation beginning Wednesday, June 3:
Kira, a powerful tactical character who can rain down hell from above with
her Orbital Laser Strike, perfect for clearing out defenses and campers
Sawbonez, a frontline support medic equipped with a Submachine Gun and
Defibrillator Paddles, who is highly effective at reviving his teammates to full
health
Fragger, an aggressive pointman and straight-up player-slayer, with a big gun,
lots of ammo, and devastating Frag grenades
Players also have the option of purchasing Mercs for their squad, including
long-range sniper Vassili and the Minigun-toting walking tank, Rhino.
The Open Beta launches with five maps and two modes for players to put to the
test. New content will continuously be added to Dirty Bomb in the coming months,
whether in finished form, or prototype content for the community to try out and
provide feedback on.
