40 scraps and 10 chems for a nade
40 chems and 10 scraps for a mollie

I used to pay only 2 bullets for throwable explosive ordnance and best part is they’re everywhere to the point a guy threw an entire box with like 100 of them into a river down in the tunnels to kill shrimps

Now I have to suffer between using bullets or having fun with grenades

I try to start the buttons multiple times but cannot, even when pressing them at the same time as Miller instructs me it doesnt work

Running benchmarks my laptop runs the game on 144 fps avg if it matters

Instead of silly drawings of them or them being demolished by an overpowered storm trooper.

Let’s see Jaegers and Geists for what they truly are: High functioning psychopaths

These soldiers are outcasts and they are smart because they know how to create improvised munitions to aid them in combat and during hunts (especially Geists)

J****AEGERS

Let's take things out of gameplay and think for a moment about the lore.
Game description: "Jaegers are dirty people. Often known for their cheap tricks and pushing the boundary of what is considered morally acceptable in these times of war."
"Cunning Trapper Class with malicious Contraptions, the ability to track sounds of their prey, and toxication rounds. The perfect disruptor."

Through these descriptions we can gather that they are: cunning, smart(able to craft improvised munitions), sensitive

Stop thinking about Jaegers as dirty cowards and think of them for their capabilities and how they know to utilize their hunter kit and you'll see why they are more feared than hated.

GEISTS

Geists are on a DIFFERENT level compared to the normal Jaeger, let's consider for their capabilities: better at covering their sounds, crafting contraptions with more expertise, tracking their prey through walls, and terrifying them in the process, hunts down other ELITE TROOPERS

To think of what it takes to come from Jaeger to a Geist is what matters a lot to how they should be shaped in character. A jaeger might be too obvious with their traps but a Geist isnt, a Jaeger might not be able to see good in the dark but a Geist could, a Jaeger could give out their positions via sounds but a Geist WOULD NOT. Think of the Geist as a veteran Jaeger who knows everything that a Jaeger couldnt stay alive for long enough to learn about. They’re smarter, stronger, experienced, they know how to not get themselves killed while dispatching their prey with ruthless efficiency.

A Geist is essentially a steeled and experienced Jaeger, who spent their entire service life being hunted by the enemies, feared and hated by both their own and the enemies alike, they would NOT fear death in any ways at all.

CONCLUSION

Even with all that I had said, your writing is ultimately up to you. But I’d really appreciate it if you were to actually look deeper into how a character should be developed as I’ve seen too many of these poorly thought out Geist and Jaegers characters.

I wouldnt mind if you were to characterize a Jaeger as cowardly or incompetent, but a Geist needs to be recognized as a serious threat and is extremely dangerous.

SUGGESTION FOR PLOTS

Jaegers are basic, you can make them sadistic, sometimes too bloodthirsty before their own demise, just generally anything.

For a Geist I’d suggest making them pragmatic, ruthless, and intelligent, maybe even throw in fearlessness as because of how detached they might become due to killing so much and achieving Geist status.

I.e for an interesting Geist plot point could be:
A broken father who lost his daughter to the war, before the Sleepless war he was an expert hunter, now that the war calls for him he uses his knowledge of wild prey on humans and grew cold to killing just like the way he grew cold to hunting game. It could make something different other than a silly goober coward that dies when someone fights back

Tomorrow I’ll have to use OSINT to locate specific locations and take pics for a summer project

What should I know

During the time of the war, medicine was obviously quite underdeveloped. Long were the times of holy ritual to cure sickness, for the new way was science and pills.

But of course, no medicine can be made safely without test subjects and confirmation of what would happen if “experimental” treatments were poorly thought out and used wrongly. That is why the Royal Nation Mortician wing have test subjects, mostly POWs and deserters, they never run short on lab rats… until 1921.

Medical experts of the Royal Nation Mortician Wing feared running out of lab rats to experiment on, and after some plannings with other High ranking commanding chiefs of other units, came the “Corpse exchanging program”.

Soldiers can exchange live hostages, preferably intact and unharmed towards the Mortician wing for rewards such as more favorability in logistics. What started small boomed in activity when all the units are exchanging prisoners, of course the Jaeger corps were one of the largest suppliers, initially handing in pox-poisoned prisoners tortured by them to healthy personnel once that the program fully caught on.

When the Geist divisions took notice, multiple reports came of them wasting medical supplies that came from the program to retain their “scarecrows” lives, using painkillers, antibiotics and other supplies to keep dying corpses on crosses alive, a massive waste. It got so bad the Mortician wing had to release propaganda posters and flyers such as: “Lives are EXPENDABLE, MEDICINE IS NOT”. Even when the Mortician Wing shows disagreement, Geists being Geists forwarded with their activities albeit at a lower scale, therefore the Mortician Wing considers it a success.

When the program ended, the Mortician wing achieved their goal of lab rats, every unit were stocked and supplied. Overall a huge success in this dire war.

Guide made by Geists at war

Chop off both legs and put a tourniquet on the stumps, you want it exposed and get infected, but not bleeding out

Next step is to hang it on a cross! Nail the hands onto the board!

Now your scarecrow will be alive, sick, and capable of warning his friends to leave!

Brandish it in the front of your outpost and make sure the trap it up too! Incase the intruder forwards anyways, you’ll come back to another mangled corspe!(mor scarecrows)
