Korean combat medic Guardian is now live in Dirty Bomb

Splash Damage promised the Guardian for this week and just delivered the goods today. This combat medic is the latest merc to join one of the best free-to-play first-person shooters and has a few tricks up her battle-hardened Korean sleeve.

Her best ally is the Sky Shield, a defensive drone capable of targeting incoming projectiles such as grenades or airstrikes. Enjoy its valuable ten seconds, but beware, as it only operates on line of sight. The Guardian is a medic, hence it would be expected to see her healing teammates in the battlefield. Alas, no: she doesn't heal, but she's great at reviving downed fellow soldiers with her bionic pulse glove. Finally, she has an Incoming Detection System which warns her of an airstrike, giving her enough time to deploy the Sky Shield.

Take a look at the full patch notes and watch the Guardian merc role call video below, as well as short clips showing the abilities described above.
