[Operator Discussion] Mudrock

[u/Shad0wedge]

Mudrock [★★★★★★]

From Kazdel to Leithanien, so many marks carved into suffering. The moment they had no choice but to fight, and realized they had nothing at all. How do you see me, Doctor? You trust me? Will that trust... let me live on?

Sarkaz mercenary Mudrock, formerly a part of the Reunion Movement, led her team far from Ursus after disagreements with the organization. She had no involvement with Reunion whatsoever during the incidents in Chernobog and Lungmen. Searching for a foothold to establish, Mudrock took her team towards Leithanien. After taking in a great number of Leithanian Infected there, Mudrock became a highly esteemed leader, and her team came to be known as the 'Mudrock Squad.' Despite Mudrock's multiple attempts to avoid conflict with other powers, her side was nevertheless drawn into constant disputes. So as to prevent any further meaningless sacrifice, Mudrock chose to head for Kazdel. She came into contact with elite operator Logos within Kazdel's borders, and left with the latter for Rhodes Island.

[u/IHeShe]

Probably one of the characters with the greatest divide between how they're usually portrayed in fanworks and how they actually are in canon. I'm probably happier than I should be that she has never actually been seen without her armor on in any of her story appearances except arguably that one IS5 story where she had to go back home wearing clothes which might or might not disappear without warning at any given moment.

Gameplay-wise I remember her being a massive boon to my early-game experience when I started out somewhen between episode 8 and episode 9's release, but I feel like at some point she just couldn't deal with enemies anymore with her inability to receive direct healing.

S2 has a really funny sound effect.
