New Hunter – Emet – Now Available for Evolve

2K and Turtle Rock Studios today announced that Emet, a new Medic class Hunter, is now available for Evolve. This new combat Medic is available individually or as part of Hunting Season 2, which also includes Gorgon (Monster), Lennox (Assault class), Jack (Trapper class) and one additional upcoming Support class Hunter that will be made available before March 31st.

Emet, a repurposed medical drone made ready for battle, joins the Evolve lineup with an all-new set of weapons and healing gadgets, including:

• The Replay Cannon – fires an explosive dart that tags a target and rapidly fires several homing missiles at it;
• Healing Buoys – can be deployed in the field to regenerate health for nearby allies. When Emet uses his medic Heal Burst, a more powerful burst erupts from the buoys;
• The Respawn Beacon – teleports Hunters directly from the dropship, reducing respawn times to a mere 30 seconds.

In addition to Emet, two free character adaptations will join the Evolve lineup in the coming weeks. Similar to the previously released Meteor Goliath, Rogue Val and Blitz Markov, these adaptations provide an alternate character variant that combines new looks, effects, audio and gameplay into unique new playable Hunters. Tech Sergeant Hank’s strength is his ability to prepare his team for combat with his new Shield Charger, and deals damage with continuous laser beams from his Orbital Drill and Laser Cutter. Wasteland Maggie heats up the battle with a single Flame Snare harpoon trap and a Burst Pistol that fires molten bullets, both of which light enemies on fire. And Daisy now does damage to Monsters for the first time with a flamethrower backpack that roasts Monsters that get too close.
