It's been a while (or has it?) since we last saw any combat engagements involving the Smogulan army, and it looks they've made A LOT of progress in building up their forces anew! As one of the latest additions among Dr. Killemoff's Radiation Ranger army, the Burning Rangers are here to turn up the heat!
Concept Art
We had loads of fun designing a host of new enemies, and the Burning Ranger was certainly one of them! Here’s a look at some of the concept art drawn by our Art Director, Xander Arnot, to get an idea of how this enemy unit would look like:
Place Among the Smogulan Forces!
Burning Rangers possess a similar helmet to those seen on normal Radiation Rangers. However, unlike their regular counterparts, Burning Rangers are equipped with fuel tanks connected to their Flamethrowers. These weapons can shoot out bursts of fire in a straight path in front of the Burning Ranger, limiting them to a close and somewhat medium range.
Burning Rangers also have noticeably more health than regular Radiation Rangers, so be prepared to bring the pain against them as soon as they appear! Something else to note: When using their Flamethrowers, Burning Rangers will always fire in a linear, horizontal direction at players who are both close enough and on the same plane as them!
Final Design
Burning Rangers are adorned with tactical Smogulan gear and are easily identifiable by their red operation jackets and warmly-colored Flamethrowers. Players can think of Burning Rangers as an enemy level a step above the green Speed (SPD) Rangers, so they're definitely a formidable force! As some of the newest units out of the Radiation Ranger army, we hope players will enjoy taking on these enemies exclusive to the game!
We're excited to share more as we continue with development! Stick around for more updates soon!
