i got this cool idea for a new mech
name: splash master
ability: blinding fog
           the mech calls upon a blinding mist which blinds any mech within a radius. at the activation of the        power the mech gets a ir vision wich allows it to see thru the mist
secondary weapon: water cannon - shoots a huge ball of water to damage enamies
primary weapon: blizzard cannon- freezes air around it toshoot it in the form of ice shards
alternate primary:harpoon cannon- freezes air around the mech and stores it in along barrel and shoots it like a spear. multiple penetration possible
prestige primary: moar or molecular arrestor- temporarily immobilises ur enemy
if u like this pls comment

Interesting.

I like the concept but what do you think the cooldown time on the ability should be_

[Prophet05]

30 seconds maybe

[bad_wolf2013]

That would be op in dm,every 30 sec you blind everyone around you and get easy kills. If the duration of mist was short(like ism)theeen, yeah it could work(maybe)

Given some proper balancing, this could actually be pretty rad. In keeping with the theme of Incin's support, this guy should be able to cool off teammates with his primary or something. Just a thought.

Mobility and situational awareness are very important in Hawken. I don't think it would be a good idea to have a mech on the battlefield that can nullify one (or even both!) of these abilities. I am rather surprised the previous posters on this thread seem to actually like the idea of such a mech.

Every mech can nullify situational awareness by using ism and  nullify weaponry by using emp, if this mech's ability time was shorter than those or maybe the same, it would simply be like an ism every minute or so.
Also unlike an one of the aforementioned items, this ability wouldn't be ranged so there is the problem of getting closer,since most people fighting this mech would know that they need to stay away and most likely this mech will be a c-class. Soo... Yeah.
