Secret Character

Character Introduction[]

Sarge is here! Gunny heard you were having some problems... so, what's the problem, Soldier?!!!

Class Introduction[]

The secret character is unlocked by dying 10 times before Floor 15 on Easy or Normal difficulty. This only works on the lower difficulty levels of the game, as it is considered a 'helping hand'.

Suicide seems to count toward the unlock. (Marine with grenades is a quick option)

The secret character is Sgt. Gunny from the tutorial.

Sgt. Gunny and the Marine are similar, but differ in play:

Gunny starts off with more ammunition and food
Gunny starts off with better base Stats and Skills but has a smaller level bonus than the Marine
Gunny can't wear the Brawler PBA without a Speed penalty (even though he's basically just a more experienced Marine)
Gunny has lower Psi Skills, but starts off with Psi Shield
Both have their own soundbank, and there are arguements as to which is 'better'
At 100 Might Gunny has a 2000 point Food meter.

So in the end Gunny is supposed to be an easier way to get through the earlier levels of the game, which tends to follow with the logic of him 'helping' get past the earlier floors.

As of 1.5.2 this character is unavailable on easy.
