'''Mercenaries''' is a standard power set that is a primary set for [[Mastermind]]s.
  
Despite their reputations, Mercenaries are extremely loyal dedicated soldiers. They are the best at what they do, and they always follow orders, exactly what a Mastermind needs. Mercenaries typically use conventional weapons and all Mercenaries have body armor that gives them resistance to smashing and lethal damage and their training makes them resistant to confusion and placate.

Enlists one highly trained Commando. The Commando is a seasoned professional who favors heavy assault weapons. He is simply a one man army that can leave a wake of destruction in his path. In addition to standard Soldier resistance, the Commando's experience also makes him resistant to Fear and his rugged advanced training makes him slightly resistant to Fire, Cold, and Toxic Damage. You may only have 1 Commando under your control at any given time. If you attempt to summon another Commando, the power will fail.

You can use a special Serum to turn one mercenary into a virtually Unstoppable killing machine for a short time. Once the Mercenary is injected with this Serum, his Damage, chance to hit, Endurance Recovery, and Damage Resistance to all damage except Psionics, will be greatly increased. The target Mercenary will also be virtually immune to controlling effects including Disorient, Sleep, Hold, Immobilize, and Knockback.  After the Serum wears off, the Mercenary will be exhausted and drained of all Endurance and be unable to recover endurance for a short while.
Fires a single Slug at a targeted foe.  Firing a single Slug is slower than firing a Burst, but deals more damage, is longer range, and can knock down foes.

It is a known issue that when fully upgraded (with Tactical Upgrade), if you order the Commando and Spec Ops to attack from very long range, they will all repeatedly use their long range, long recharge time powers (sniper shot for Spec Ops, LRM for Commando) but will not close range to use any other powers. You must force them to move to closer range to get them to use the remainder of their attacks.

Overview

Mercenaries is a standard power set that is a primary set for Masterminds.

"Despite their reputations, Mercenaries are extremely loyal and dedicated soldiers. They are the best at what they do, and they always follow orders, exactly what a Mastermind needs. Mercenaries typically use conventional weapons and all Mercenaries have body armor that gives them resistance to smashing and lethal damage and their training makes them resistant to Confusion and Placate."

Power Table

The Mercenaries power set is available as a primary set for Masterminds. The following table shows the level at which each power is available:
