What's a Scoundrel?
"Good? Bad? I’m the one with the PIECE."
Scoundrels are quick on their feet, but the bombs they fling are even quicker. Whether slinking through shadows or out manipulating the masses, a Scoundrel operates with range thanks to a powerful combination of underbelly schemes and quick wits. Widely known for their usefulness in a gunfight, they’re masters of the Prion Industries Electroswitching Compact Eradicator (PIECE) style weaponry, explosives, and trickery with a knack for making use of their surroundings to maximum effect.
Anyone looking for a fair fight better look elsewhere because the deck is stacked as soon as one of these gunslingers enters the room. If you're ready to take on the brand of a Scoundrel, you know that life's a gamble, and you're going to do whatever it takes to win.
What can a Scoundrel do?
Armed with the bare necessities and a scheme, Scoundrels are known for firing a quick succession of attacks to turn the tide of battle. Customized ammo tips allow the fastest shots to stick afflictions, then follow up with a powerful haymaker or an IED applied directly to the back of the throat.
Scoundrels have access to the following skills:
