have a job you need done get yourself a
digital jack-of-all-trades I haven’t
even picked a name for this joint and
I’m already getting calls welcome to
watchmojo.com
and she’ll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 video game mercenaries
we’ll take the job and Ross won’t be
getting its way this time for this list
we’re taking a look at videogame
characters whose only loyalty is cash if
you need a higher gun then maybe we can
talk they fight for whichever side is
paying the most though it doesn’t always
mean they’re completely devoid of moral
integrity at the end of the day though
they’re just looking to get paid I want
you to destroy their laundry vans and
mangle any triad give the kitchen your
way number 10 you Jimbo Final Fantasy 10
I am a blade of vengeance they dare only
whisper my name yo Jimbo most Aeons in
Final Fantasy 10 obey without question
however there is one that operates a
little differently after visiting the
cavern of stolen faith you have a chance
to recruit the legendary sword for hire
yo Jimbo this is where your Jimbo’s
mercenary status really comes into play
his attacks differ based on how much you
pay him once he summoned
give him a nickel and he’ll make his dog
die Goro attack but if you empty your
pockets he’ll brandish his katana and
lay down the hurt if you give a certain
amount you may be lucky enough to see
his one-hit kill move son motto number
nine RJ McCready fallout series
tell you what price is 250 caps upfront
the first time you meet this ruthless
soldier he’s well he’s a prepubescent
boy McCready is the self elected mayor
of little lamplight in fallout 3
fast forward to fallout 4 & McCready has
grown into those big boy boots there you
go that wasn’t too hard to admit was it
I’m completely self-taught you know a
next member of the Gunners he now works
as a solitary Merc with a deadly shot he
can be hired as a companion and makes
her a capable ally on the battlefield
number two the Mass Pike interchange and
we’ll take them down if you don’t I’m
not going to hold it against him even
though he’s older
he keeps the confidence sometimes cocky
attitude from his boyhood you got to
commend the guys knack for survival
though now what about you how do I know
I won’t end up with a bullet in my back
number 8 Strider Hideo Strider series
only the late 80s could birth something
as cool as a futuristic ninja warrior
who fights with a plasma blade based on
a manga it chronicles the story of
high-class fighters for higher called
Striders strider Hideo made his
videogame debut in the arcades and then
quickly found his way to home consoles
this horizontal slashing soldier uses
his speed and acrobatic prowess to
topple foes and gain the upper hand he
also has a variety of mechanical
supports to aid him on his missions
which include hawks and Panthers
if you want to see Strider nowadays and
that new reboot isn’t your thing you can
always throw down with him in Ultimate
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Strider he do gritty
professors number 7 Matias Nelson
mercenary series
the ponytails beard and Mohawk should
tell you right away that our next pick
isn’t quite your average professional
hired gun
but Nilson has fought in too many
conflicts to care what people think
anyway the job is not for you the job is
yours
this ex Swedish Navy officer is
resourceful fit and has an affinity for
blowing things to smithereens reckless
is often seen as a negative trait but in
the mercenaries world it might just put
you ahead of the competition preferably
in one piece
people probably hire him secretly hoping
that he’ll complete his mission and blow
himself up in the process but too bad
for them as he doesn’t seem to be going
belly-up anytime soon
number six – rend our Star Wars shadows
of the Empire tell the princess I’ve got
that shipment of a salt blaster she’s
been waiting for I’ll be a writer my
management man your kernel and the same
three because of the nature of their
careers
mercenaries need to keep themselves
flexible – R and R is the embodiment of
that word I told you Princess Leia hired
the right guy illegal self-proclaimed
rival – han Solo – gets involved in a
crime lords plot to kill Luke Skywalker
which takes in between the Empire
Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi with
his robot companion Lee Bo – takes on
hitman asteroids wampas and even duels
and a TSD with nothing but his trusty
pistol he gets to pilot all sorts of
vehicles along the way including a
speeder bike a snow speeder tow cable
and all plus his signature ship the
outrider which is totally not like the
Millennium Falcon at all well as much
fun as that was I don’t see us joining
the ranks of that crazy rebellion too
dangerous and too much money to be made
elsewhere my friend number 5 Mona sax
Max Payne series I’m the professional
I’d blow you away without batting an eye
sure and you can check out my
credentials splattered all over this
joint letting your guard down around
this femme fatale would be a bad idea
Mona sax proves that women should not be
taken lightly in battle just because of
their sex
she’s a contract killer who crosses
paths with Max Payne on his journey even
saving his life occasionally mona max we
gotta stop meeting like this though her
motives aren’t always clear Mona’s soft
voice lulls her enemies into a false
sense of security before their demise
watch out cuz Mona won’t just aim for
your heart she’ll shoot you there too
number for Dante Devil May Cry series
being the head of your own paranormal
investigation business is kind of a big
deal
Dante’s work consists of hunting down
demons and other supernatural forces but
being the son of a powerful demon
definitely gives Dante’s some unique
abilities to aid him in the fray he can
use his weapons with his demonic energy
to give them a boost swords and guns
give Dante a good mix of ranged in close
combat options he may be a bit showy but
his skills definitely back up his words
number 3 fox mccloud star fox series my
father passed away five years ago to
carry on his legacy I brought his team
out of retirement starfox the life of a
hired gun doesn’t have to be lonely as
the head of the Star Fox team Fox leads
his band of anthropomorphic pilots
against the likes of and Ross’s army a
Dino dictator and some really creepy
bugs
Fox is an ace pilot and with his
signature Arwen he’s able to obliterate
waves of enemy ships and take down
entire enemy fleets just so you know
though Fox charges by the kill so make
sure you got some deep pockets before
you hire his team this is one steep bill
but it’s worth it number two Claude
Grand Theft Auto 3 steal his car take
the eight-balls bomb shop up in Harwood
you know wait wall right after being
betrayed by his girlfriend during a bank
heist Claude escapes from prison and
then makes his way up the criminal
ladder by working for prominent gangs
around liberty city yeah and on the way
it all messed this up maybe to be more
work for you Claude is obedient and
usually carries out whatever tasks he’s
given killing really isn’t a problem for
Claude his well almost emotionless grant
is actually kind of creepy
regardless he gets things done and
doesn’t go unnoticed all of the wealthy
families in Liberty City walked is
one-man army on their side if we make an
open attack on him he’ll wipe the floor
before we hire our number one pick here
are a few honorable mentions
my name’s Carlos corporal of umbrellas
biohazard countermeasure force good
thing I brought a little extra extra
blood you’ll need it
number one big boss Metal Gear series
war can leave you scarred both mentally
and physically leaving you questioning
where your loyalties lie and whom your
real enemies are nobody knows this
better than Big Boss Patriot following
the events of Metal Gear Solid 3 snake
left Fox unit to form the Midtown self
whole TF or soldiers without borders
where snake would bound to provide an
army to those in need we can’t afford to
pay much it’s true but we can offer you
this a Forward Operating Base though
through a series of complicated events
that faction would eventually become
rebranded as the Diamond Dogs
but their goal would remain the same
even if Big Boss wasn’t exactly the same
man that he once was after awakening
from that coma what should I do boss
