Speculation on who the new hero will be in update 2.2

Is it too early to spoil a 2.2 feature?
There will be one new hero whom I think will make a big impact on the community, who will be unlocked through gameplay and not radios. We specifically selected them due to importance to the show and also so we could put in a leader trait that new and veteran players would find useful. Hopefully player opinion matches our hopes at least a little.

I'm sure that there are good speculators in this forum.
Who do you think @Shteevie is teasing us with?

It should be pretty obvious who I would be ecstatic about, but that would be bruiser obviously. And who would find a bruiser helpful?

But who else? Let's speculate.

Outside of the obvious bruiser, I'd guess someone with a tiger...

Verbaub

Well, there is always Morgan

Amiga

Badass aka Amiga

capibara

I want Eugene!

JayZ

Negan? He seems like the obvious choice for bruiser, which is the only hero-less class...

Poppy

Negan isnt a hero,

It will be Judith!

MadPuppy

Negan is MY hero though.
I like the argument that bruiser is the only hero-less class. If not Negan, who else would be a bruiser?

Morgan seems like a legit option to me too, seeing as his staff and outfit is already in the game. That would make his likeness kind of useful.

Kaiser

I hope its my boy, one and only, T-Dog

I believe Tyreese would be/have been considered a bruiser.

Importance to the Show"

It's either whoever Neegan kills or it's someone that will be introduced as a new Hero!
That's my takeaway from those two quotes

I'm betting whoever Negan kills is already a hero within the game. Or more precisely, I'm hoping it is because in spite of liking them all, if it's a subordinate character the cliffhanger/premiere is going to be hugely anti-climactic. Which is terrible way of starting off a season.

MadPuppy

Let's leave the cliffhanger topic. It's way too spoiler sensitive.

I would have said no, because he is too new. But based on Shteevies comment that it will be unlocked through game play, then maybe. Because they could have a new mission around him.

Amazayn

i think it is going to be Morgan

I posted it elsewhere, but imagine if it was Ezekiel, and his trait was his tiger which acted independently so was essentially a 4 survivor

MizTy

Nope. It's gonna be Hershel & his leadership skill is explainations of all the traits & what NG did to them in 2.2

Governator

I think it will be the Governor (Assault Class), but his trait will be to hit your survivors if they are caught in his shooting arc.

zeeblack

What about Miranda Kerr????????????????????

TheMurphy

Carl
Morgan
Negan

However even king Ezekiel canbe considering bruiser, butI now Rick don't know about the existence of kingdom

EL34xyz

Morgan.... pffffffftttt
The all life is precious thing and I have to try and rehabilitate everyone, thing is annoying to me.

It's a dog eat dog, zombie apocalypse world Morgan, pull you head out of your back forty

Neil_J

Anyone considered it might not be a bruiser at all? It could be Dwight.

SharkmanBriton

Guys I think it'll be Carl as a Shooter, he is very important in the show and I always think of him when I see the Shooter example on the Classes menu.

Yep, I agree. And he is a fan favorite from the comics.

Neil_J

Good call.

Fester17

Someone in the Guild Council chat (can't remember who, sorry) said it would be Carl, and that his hero trait would be excelling in Overwatch, but only on the left side, lol.

Pain Walker

Negan will definitely make bruisers powerful again.... just by introducing him

psychwolf

@EL34xyz Let's not forget, Morgan shot that dude who was gonna kill Carol. He's got no problem dispatching walkers. I think he's the most dangerous killer out of all of the characters.

EL34xyz

@tiwyg
Yeah, the writers finally let him step up to the plate
I have to see more of that action before I finally change my mind about Morgan

DCBMET

Murphy, from Z Nation

TheMurphy

Negan bundle
Morgan bundle
Carl cuz the show is about what can do a father to surv
