### Weapons And Abilities

As an Assault Hero, his weapons and abilities are straightforward. He carries around Dual Chain Guns which deals major damage to enemies. When he goes into Rampage Mode, his guns will pack more of a punch.

### Personality

Joe is a dedicated fighter, ready to take down any danger that threatens him or his friends. While sometimes can act a little dumb, he is supportive and always trying to help our protagonists. When going into Rampage Mode, he gets furious and out of control.

## Role in Robocalypse [NDS]

Joe is the primary hero you use throughout the campaign and is primarily accompanied by the protagonist Myron. In most Missions he will automatically be there ready for use. You are first introduced to him in the cinematic "Basic Training" after getting a brainscan from a WWII veteran. In gameplay, he is used as a tutorial character to help teach the mechanics of the game. In most levels you will start off with him already built. Once you reach Mission 2: "Basic Training 2: The Revenge" you are able to build him using a Hero Factory which he will take up the second slot. In every level, he is talking with Myron.

### Tutorial Transcription

```
Joe: "I'm a general purpose Assault Hero - an elite fighter ready to put the smack-down on the Demolisher!"

```

```
Myron: "Sounds like you'd be great for capturing Control Points and enemy targets!"

```

```
Joe: "Now you're making me blush, sir.

```

```
            I carry dual chain guns into the field. They deliver awesome firepower in combat, sir.

```

```
            My special ability is my "Rampage", which gives me an increased rate of fire.

```

```
            Sir, I'm ashamed to say that in this state I go completely berserk.

```

```
            It takes a lot to get me angry... usually I'm all warm and fuzzy."

```

```
Myron: "That's okay, Joe, as long as you're still pulling for the team."

```

```
Joe: "Do or die, sir! I won't let you down."

```

```
Myron: "I know, Joe. For all purpose assaults you're my number one Hero."
