“I’m all for making statements in battle. With my trusty Meg, that statement is usually ‘I’m going to murder you with machine guns and large explosives’.” Dimitry Volkshyn - Ukrainian Aerial Supremacy Program
The Megadon is one of 8 new Champions being introduced with the Upload content update in the coming weeks, and well - it’s a beast!
Equipped with a high-accuracy, rapid-fire machine gun as its main weapon, an incendiary grenade to burn foes, a massive front-facing shield for extra defense, and a handy self-heal bot to keep the party going, the Megadon is both one of our most straight-forward champions and one of the most rugged and long-lasting.
It may seem simple, but the Storm-99 multi-barrel machine gun is an extremely fast-firing and high-precision weapon meant to chew through opponents’ armor and whittle down their health at a fast rate. When combined with the defense-boosting shield barrier skill, the Megadon quickly becomes a floating metallic hunk of death incarnate.
And when you’re out of ammo, waiting for a reload, the Megadon’s incendiary grenade is always on standby for a “don’t get too close to me” button to send a fiery signal to your foes. Just a gentle reminder - when you’re out of rounds on the gun and out of grenades, it’s time to move your large butt out of the line of fire.
There are no stealth or hiding techniques for a big tanky aerial demon like the Megadon. But what grace he’s lacking, he more than makes up for with amazingly high survivability and potent reliable firepower to deal damage in a dogfight.
And though he’s not the fastest champion in our game, the Megadon’s handy little healing bot makes sure he has survivability to find friends and recharge between firefights. Just don’t get caught in a losing team-fight while it’s on recharge or you might end up a hunk of scrap on the streets of the Fjords.
We look forward to revealing even more of our new Champions in the weeks ahead, but for now, stay tuned to our social channels on Twitter, and join our Discord to take part in the latest playtests!
