Background

Imagine Skye as a 19-year old and you're looking at Sweet. Except remove the bad attitude of Skye and replace it with an equal amount of over the top cuteness. Sweet Autumn is oddly creative when it comes to renewing her own appearance and it's not uncommon to find her sneakily tagging other peoples gear with random doodles. Her appearance and behaviour makes it easy to dismiss her as a naïve and harmless girl but then again she is the younger sister of Skye.

Sweet has a fondness of all things that go boom. Loud, flashy and heavy is her way of dealing with Lumes. She rushes into any battle without hesitation and makes sure to have a damn good time while she's at it.

Equipped with her brutal REX and a sturdy exo-skeleton she's ready to withstand heavy recoils and wild leaps through the air. It's not uncommon to see her bouncing around the battlefield like a kid in the middle of a sugar-rush. She might seem careless and easily distracted, and that's exactly what she is. She's still killing off Lumes as if she was custom built for the job.

Gameplay

When you play Sweet you’ll notice that she has a tendency to make things explode. Her weapon of choice is the REX Launcher - a reptile looking rocket launcher. The REX has two useage modes, one is to launch high-explosive rockets that can take out several enemies at once. The other one is where things get more interesting. It is a target lock-on that launches missile canisters. These canisters split into several smaller missiles that seek out their target. Sure, they might not damage enemies in as big an area but it’s excellent for single targets. Sweet loads all her weapons with napalm rounds. So all targets that are damaged by her are set on fire and take extra burn damage over a few seconds. If she finds herself in a bad spot rocket jumping is NEVER a bad idea, especially not since Sweet’s equipment has a gravity stabiliser, giving her unparallelled air control. It doesn’t matter if you’re surrounded by Lumes when you have that setup of toys at your disposal.

I think they will keep the weapon selection like we had it in Sanctum 1, just that each character also has one favourite weapon (that might have added boni if used with him?). In this blog post they mentioned that *all* weapons that Sweet uses will have incendiary ammo, which implies that she actually has multiple weapons to use.

Freyjadour: It's like a little zip-up overall with short legs and long sleeves that she has pulled down and tied around the hips. :3

Sweet seems to be the exact opposite of both Haigen and Skye. It should be quite interesting to see how this works out in the story. Looking forward to it!

I'm really starting to get worried that these characters are only going to be able to use the weapons they like in their profiles and we are going to end up being stuck using the characters that have the weapons we want. Please let us choose the weapons we want to use on the character we want to use them with. It's a small thing really, I just hate being stuck with a character I don't like because it's the only way I can use the weapon I want.

Yep, i think that she'll be the character i'll play. I love to make things go boom, and i always love to be in the air.
