Concept:
Basically, a long time we had the idea of adding a Police dog but only as something to achieve in the far future after release, however, thanks to the guys at Moon Echo Studio they already had a German Shepard model fully modelled, rigged and animated ready for us to use. We just need to do the programming and add the Police vest.
Why we made it:
Everyone loved the idea of playing as a dog, it's highly unique to play as anything other than a humanoid in most games let alone online PvP. After that it became obvious that if we had the means to do it we definitely should, then it just became a design issue of how it should function in-game.
Their in-game role:
They're basically a missile with teeth; very mobile and fast across the map. However their lack of strafing and reversing makes them committed once they charge in and their long grapple times (whilst highly damaging) leaves them vulnerable to counter attacks. Most people may be inclined to parry a dog attack, however this will leave your arm exposed, instead you should look to using: shields, kicking or striking in order to stop their attacks. Dogs more than any other class gain great success by utilizing the element of surprise.
