Character Introduction: Judge

Introducing the Most Tempermental Judgemental Wild Bastard: Judge
All the fun of capital punishment without the boring trial!

[h2]Howdy y'all[/h2]

Saddle up pardner! It's time to make like a rodeo and scream yeehaw for no apparent reason. YeeeeeEEEEeeeehaw!! Today, we've got a breakdown of the most mood-swingin' Bastard, Judge. What he lacks in basic human empathy, he makes up for with a cool gun.

Bio:

"The Judge" Justice Unit 939 served as a model Justice of the peace for over 50 years. He was so strict in his adherence to the law that he sentenced his own wife and son to disassembly for breaking robot curfew.

Overcome with grief, he fled to the frontier, where he earns a living killing human authority figures.

Weapon: Sniper Rifle

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Damage: High
Range: Long
Rate of Fire: Low
Ammo Capacity: Extremely Low
Special Notes: Upon getting three headshots, your next shot will automatically do crit damage.

Judge's Sniper Rifle is all about clicking heads. You can hipfire with absolute precision or use the zoom to make sure your shots are lined up. Either way, each headshot rewards you with a tic, where if you get 3 headshots, you'll automatically do massive damage on your next shot.

However, due to Judge's poor stock rate of fire and ammo capacity, he suffers greatly from poor crowd control. He can deal with single enemies up close, but missing your shot will keep you toothless for a long time while you reload. The judicial system always had its gaping flaws, and this bot is no different.

Stunt: Judgement Time

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Judgement Time gives you Keanu powers for 10 seconds by slowing down the world around you, allowing you to shoot and reload in real time while your enemies struggle to even turn.

Use this whenever you're in a critical situation being surrounded by enemies or at low health. You'll learn how to instantly dodge bullets and know Gun-Fu in an instant.

In Conclusion

Judge is a nasty powerhouse who will take down almost every type of common enemy before they even realize their being hunted. However, once they close in on you-- you'll need to use stocked up Stunts or switch to a shorter range Bastard (like Smoky) to enforce some crowd control.

Judge's shortcomings can be somewhat mitigated with certain mods, but we'll have more on that later.

Be sure to wishlist our game for more updates soon!

See you next time, when we go through Hopalong-- the snake-like creature with an affinity for roping up his enemies.

Character Introduction: Smoky

Introducing the Flamiest Wild Bastard: Smoky
WHO LET HIM COOK?!

Howdy y'all,

Today, we're starting a new series to introduce y'all to the Wild Bastards gang! We'll be sharing insights into the outlaws and their playstyles. For our first Bastard, we're coming in hot by pouring some gasoline on today's Bastard to watch him catch ablaze. Introducing Smoky!

Bio:

Algernon "Smoky" Johnson was a young successful chef on his way to the top. A kitchen fire triggered his mutant genes and he was cast out of pure human society. He now lives in a state of constant pain and conflagration.

All-in-all, Smoky just wants to cook great meals, and he doesn't really care what it's made out of.

Weapon: Flamethrower


Damage: Moderate
Range: Short-Medium
Rate of Fire: Extremely Fast
Ammo Capacity: Moderately High
Special Notes: Upon hitting the floor, turns into flame carpet. Upon direct contact with shot or flame carpet, ignites enemies and damages them over time.

Smoky's Flamethrower is a completely unique weapon in the Wild Bastards universe that allows him to use his extremely fast rate of fire with the special flame carpet effect for multiple strategies. Use this combination to deal with numerous short to medium ranged enemies with ease. Due to his short range, he's not the greatest outlaw to go after distant enemies.

Stunt: Cookout


Cookout immediately ignites all enemies within a large radius around Smoky, letting them burn until they turn into smoldering ashes. Use this stunt when you're surrounded or just can't find where those last enemies are hiding.

In Conclusion

Smoky fits great with almost every other Bastard, and especially does well with a long-range one to make up for his limitations. As stated, he's also great at going solo as long as his weaknesses are accounted for.

With great crowd control and some of the best mod versatility, you're going to love frying up some beans with Smoky.

Be sure to Wishlist Wild Bastards and follow us on Steam for more updates soon!
