Specialists - The team must make 3 kills with special attacks

[FénX]

This message is displayed in upper right corner along with MDs name. Does anyone know it's meaning?

[[NT*]ButteredNine]

I managed to achieve it with overwatch ability.

I tend to ignore those unless they are obviously easy. Otherwise chasing those goals is a good way to get your team wasted.

Did you get any bonus for fulfilling the goal?

[FieserMoep]

I think it's money.

Yesterday in coop play something similar happened to us with the merc "Livewire".

-> Make 2 kills with Livewire without beeing hit

(it popped up randomly)

After achieving that, she got a stat increase for marksmanship & dex.

These appear to be worth doing, Steroid had one where I had to avoid letting anyone except him getting wounds in a mission. He gained some stat increases when I completed it.

[HozzMidnight]

I ignore them unless they are not crazy. Like head shots I can do. Kill every merc with groin shots? Haha ♥♥♥♥ that.

You get a real good bonus (xp or a +1 to something) for the merc each request is tied to and the more you do you reach certain thresholds with AIM that results in cash, first tier is 2k that is all I have gotten.

I think they also earn a 'Commendation' shown in their stats.

I did manage to do a couple tonight in the same mission where I had to avoid Kailyn taking any damage and Barry doing 500 damage (which was quite easy with his shape charges!)

[Darkeus]

Yes doing these opens up A.I.M. Rewards. Basically Mercs give you commendations and A.I.M. Gives money and rewards.

i just noticed i fail these things many times coz im not into "achievement" based quest
but then this happened in 1 sector
Barry: they must suffer! kill all hostiles with a groin shot
Steroid: Steroid must deal 150 worth of damage
totally did it lmao

Besides overwatch does anybody know the answer to the OP's question?

What count as "special attacks"?

It's not everything on the bottom bar because the snap shot ability doesn't count.

I would say something like "Run & Gun" Smg special skill

[Sarissofoi]

Special attacks.
For me counted both extra attack modes from weapons like Run and Gun(smg) or Pin Down(rifle) or character perks(like Kalyne one)

[LArc7thHeaven]

Edit: you got +1 random bonus stat to your merc

[silenc0r]

There's an XP bonus and occasionally a stat bonus
