Mercenary characters can be hired for temporary use, allowing you to play as a different character within the game (player avatar
change). You can switch between playing as the merc or as your base character at any time.
Mercs can use all the
same weapons and gear items that your base character can use, with the exception of Uniform
and Vest items -- each merc come with his or her own unique outfit for these two gear
categories.
Once you activate the mercenary from your Inbox, you can equip this item from the Character
slot of the Body tab of the Shop/Storage screen. Unequip it to switch back to your base character.

An excellent, natural-born soldier who specializes in urban close-quarters battle, Baron is one of the core members of the Warcorp PMC. He is extremely close with the enigmatic Colonel Miles Colman - one of Warcorp's governing Board of Directors and widely known as Warcorp's "brain."
Baron's friendship with Colman, a legendary figure amongst all soldiers, had its beginnings in Baron's first combat mission. At the time, Lieutenant Miles Colman, a lead military intelligence officer and rising star for the UAF, was stranded in enemy territory after his transport chopper was shot down returning from a top-secret briefing. Baron, one of the youngest recruits of UAF Special Forces, volunteered for the rescue mission. After many UAF commandos were cut down in an ambush as they assaulted the compound where Colman was being held, Baron was able to continue the mission and singlehandedly save and extract the lieutenant, as well as three other survivors, despite his relative lack of combat experience.
Impressed by the young soldier's natural combat skills, Colman became a mentor for Baron, and upon Colman's personal recommendation, brought him over to the black ops side of UAF Spec Ops. The two men carried out multiple missions throughout the African and Middle Eastern theaters: Colman as the op commander, with Baron and his men in the field. When Colonel Colman suddenly betrayed the UAF after Operation Sand Hog (for reasons unknown) and became part of Warcorp, Baron decided to follow suit. Joining Colman, Baron is known as both Colman's personal bodyguard, and his top strike force commander. Colman continues to send Baron out on the missions of paramount importance to Warcorp secret operating agenda.
