Maverick[]
- Maverick redirects here. For other uses of Maverick, see Maverick (disambiguation).
Unique from others, Maverick is an elite bot, the only Elite skill type in the Cost 3 group. As his name indicates, he is fiercely independent of the player's commands and uses the Maverick M4A1 Carbine.
He is chosen often due to his Elite skill level, which is the highest possible, while also costing only 3 points compared to the 5 points required for other Elite bots. He has 100 skill points, and is 100% accurate when firing. His reaction time is 0.2 seconds which means he is very sensitive to footsteps. He has no attack delay. When facing an enemy at close range, he aims for the head while at medium range, he aims for the chest, firing in bursts. At long range, he crouches and fires. When a sniper is spotted, he will strafe to avoid being hit.
He has 100 points of bravery, making him very aggressive to the point of being reckless. He will never retreat even when spotting a large group of enemies. In bomb defusal missions, he likes to find and engage the Terrorists rather than camping at a bombsite. In hostage rescue missions, he prefers to strike the Terrorists and after securing the hostages, he reports the position of the hostages to the player and hunts for the other Terrorists. In easy and normal difficulties, this will be no problem and may be helpful to the player as Maverick is able to relay useful information to the player while in hard and expert difficulties, this will be a big problem as opponents are more skilled and stick together.
As stated in the file "BotCampaignProfile.db" with the comment of "cheaper because he doesn't listen at all", the drawback for a cheap Elite skill bot is 0 teamwork. He rarely follows the player's command except in the first round, and will not stay together with teammates. (1% chance to follow the player's command.)
Maverick uses RifleT weapon preference. He prefers to purchase the M4A1 (and uses its silencer), but will swap it for an AK-47 if he finds one dropped by a Terrorist. He buys a random pistol as a secondary weapon.
His voice pitch is set to 98, slightly lower than the standard voice.
Tactics[]
- Maverick outclass the others by having 100 skill points, but he may struggle at higher difficulties since enemy team does not have attack delay and they are sticking together. To compensate this, the player (and any other CTs following the player) should follow Maverick as his backup.
- Kirk might be a good choice in large maps such as Cobblestone and Aztec in lower difficulties.
- Since Travis uses USP only, he will need his teammates to accompany him at higher difficulties.
- Since enemies are focused on Travis when he has a shield deployed. Attack those enemies from behind as they do not turn around to attack the player. But beware for nearby enemies that did not notice Travis will attack the player instantly.
- In Chateau, there is a challenge that require player to eliminate enemies using M249. If the player struggle to purchase expensive M249, using Cole as teammate might be a good idea. Follow him, and when he dies, pick up his M249 for free.
- It's best to hire Cole only maps with close quarter combat as bots with the M249 will fire in full auto regardless of it's range; limiting their accuracy to first few shots at long range.
Trivia[]
- Igor and Kenny has the highest pitch among all Tour of Duty bots.
