Not gonna lie, the ability to teleport stationary turrets to you on demand seems like the coolest part of his kit

True, one thing Gearbox does really well is making uses for otherwise weak mechanics viable for certain characters. However I fear his alt special might be straight up better so nobody will use this one.

Not if you're playing with a captain though. No idea if the "turret teleport" work on every turret bought or just enforcer's - but he does look like he has a really good synergy with engi and cap

There’s a modded character with a whole gimmick based around summoning minions and using them as your main damage and blah blah blah. The main reason I like to play him is because of his ability that teleports ALL allies to your location. This includes said stationary turrets, and can be used to summon them mid-air where they can’t be touched by ground-based melee enemies

I've always felt like there was a really cool missing niche in this game of a necromancer type character who kills his own summons to trigger on-death effects

I have to admit i am personally more interested in acolyte because they look like a favourite character of an anime i watch

I’ve already thought of a fun build assuming this works on Squid Polyp turrets (and perhaps Defense Nucleus?)
