Livelock: Hex's Arsenal - Combat Functions

Hello World,

Now that you know more about Hex, our first playable Capital Intellect, it’s time to check out his arsenal. Each mission, you'll choose three firearms as well as three functions to bring into battle, so make sure to consider all your tactical options. Throughout our next few blogs, we’ll be showcasing several of Hex’s functions and a few weapons, starting with functions that deal with clearing enemies quickly and effectively.

First up, the devastating Orbital Strike will make short work of your obstacles. With a quick target designation, you’ll eliminate rogue clusters by the dozen, clearing the path to your next objective with a targeted blast from the sky. Round up advancing enemies with a circular strafe, then wipe them from the crumbling ground before you in a glorious explosion.

Cluster Mines will drop behind your Capital Intellect, leaving enemies in a trail of scrap should they choose to follow. Dot the landscape with explosives in unique patterns; patterns of destruction. Cluster Mines can also be effectively combined with other powers including Hex’s Active Camoflage or Ultra Velocity - giving Hex the ability to maneuver the battlefield while causing massive amounts of damage to enemies.

Both functions will help Hex completely control his enemies movement and decimate hordes of them. Cornered? Drop mines in your wake and call down the wrath of SATCOM on your foes ahead. Whether from above or below, Hex will always have the tools to overcome his adversaries.

Check in later this soon to learn about Hex’s Active Camo and Ultra Velocity functions, and stay tuned for later this week when we give a rundown of a few weapons you’ll wield in Livelock.

The Livelock process will continue on our Forums, Facebook and Twitter until its release later in 2016. Sign up now at PlayLivelock.com to receive exclusive content including the latest news, developer chats, concept art and more.
