ACT5 Axe Merc

Post by kulasdq » Thu May 13, 2021 11:34 pm

So I recently noted that blizzard created 2 versions of ACT5 merc, one is the sword version (which we already have), the other is the duel wielding axe (which is not in the hireling list). I tried to add the axe version back but had some wierd bugs. Not sure if anyone encountered and fixed.

In my 1st attempt, I noted that ACT5 hires have 2 sets of IDs at each difficulty level. So I changed one set of IDs to axe version and left the other set as is. My expectation was that now I should be able to hire both sword and axe versions at ACT5 (even though the description doesn't tell, but it can be fixed later). But when I hired at ACT5, all merc are the axe version (I hired every single one from each difficulty level). And the other problem is when I quit and reenter the game, the axe merc will change back to sword merc (not 100% chance).

Then I made 2nd attempt. I changed both IDs of hell level to axe version and made no change to normal/nightmare. When I hired at ACT5 of hell difficulty, all the merc are still sword version (NANI!!). But when I quit then reenter the game, the sword merc will change to axe merc, and it's 100% chance. But I dont know if he will change back sword afterwards.

Any idea about those bugs? I guess that's the reason why blizzard didnt include the axe merc as a hireable since they dont want to be bothered with the bugs....

The other thing is he could only equip one one-handed axe. Can't use two-handed axe or use 2 one-handed axes....
