Turtle

A vital presence on the battlefield, Turkish combat engineer Turtle can deploy his Shield as cover to protect his teammates while they complete objectives, get revived by friendly medics, or it’s a perfect counter to campers and snipers with over-watch of the objective. He can also use his shield as a defence of his own: he can’t block routes completely, but he’ll slow the opposing team down, channelling them into kill zones and making them easier targets.

Glass half-empty: Turtle’s un-authorized experiments in bionic prosthetic cost him his arm and his steady job as a lab tech at the department of mechanical engineering at Istanbul University. Glass half-full: his new metal arm is even better than the old meat arm, he’s in much greater demand as a battlefield engineer in camo than he ever was in a white coat, and he has a drastically revised sense of what is or is not “an emergency”.
