Ten-hut, troops! Time to meet the first class in our new animated intro series for Green Hawk Platoon—and he’s been practicing his salute all week. Say hello to The Rifleman: the rulebook-waving, always-ready, try-hard hero of the squad (whether the squad asked for one or not). 🎬 Watch the new animated short – “Meet The Rifleman” – now live! Get a taste of his personality, his gameplay style, and just how far he’ll go to win Sarge’s approval. [previewyoutube=WhShrdrpiE8;full][/previewyoutube] [h2]Who Is the Rifleman?[/h2] Think of the Rifleman as your battlefield bestie—the reliable all-rounder with a plastic-perfect uniform, top-tier trigger discipline, and a motivational quote for every reload. He’s the self-declared leader-in-training. The squad’s golden boy (according to… himself). And if he could, he’d laminate the Green Hawk handbook and sleep with it under his pillow. He’s not just about following orders—he lives for them. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42685973/87db6c545394178e08de573ca351a6724891dbf3.jpg[/img] [h2]🎮 Gameplay Style: Balanced. Tactical.

He’s the jack-of-all-trades—solid in any situation, adaptable in the chaos, and always ready to yell “Let’s MOVE!” [h2]🧸 Loadout & Abilities: Plastic, Punchy, and Packed with Perks[/h2] [b]Primary Weapons:[/b] [list] [*] G16 – A laser-precise toy M16. Reliable. Stylish. Plastic. [*] PK47 – A toy AK with more kick and less control. [*] Toykov – Your go-to for long-range lookouts and plastic carnage. [/list] [b]Sidearm:[/b] [list] [*] Hawk 19 – A compact toy Glock. Perfect for "whoops, too close!" moments. [/list] [b]Class Ability – Energy Drink[/b] [list] [*] Consume: +20 Health / +30% Speed (1 min) [*] Drop for Allies: +20 Health / +30% Speed (30 sec) [/list] [i]Like a sugar rush and a slap in the face—this one’s chaos fuel. Inspired by the Sandvich from TF2.[/i] [b]Deployable – Launch Pad[/b] Spring into action—literally. This fold-out platform flings soldiers into the air for quick vertical movement, tactical repositioning, or just making a very cool entrance. Great for surprise ambushes or rooftop hijinks. [h2]🎙️ Personality: The Rule-Following Hero We Didn’t Ask For (But Kinda Love)[/h2] Voiced by [b]Lachlan Quarmby[/b], the Rifleman is: [list] [*] All-in on army discipline, from crisp salutes to wrinkle-free bedsheets [*] Convinced he’s Sarge’s secret favorite (spoiler: he’s not) [*] Armed with a catchphrase for every mission (none of them quite land) [*] So intense it’s almost endearing [/list] He’s the type who says “Lock and load!” at snack time—and means it.
