I'm gonna ram my gauntlet so far down your skinny throat, I'll untie your shoes.

—Visor

Visor is a playable character and an enemy warrior in Tier 5. A mysterious warrior who never talks about his past. He appears to be a man in blood splattered battle armor with a metal visor grafted onto his face.

Biography[]

Manual biography

Visor is an enigma who says nothing about his past, letting his weapons do all his talking for him.

Profile

None of the warrior clones that populate the Arenas know the name of the first of their line. In those rare moments when not training of fighting, the clones speculate on the origins of Visor Prime or just "Visor" as he has come to be known. Many believe him to have been synthesized from the dominant genes of countless warriors. Others believe him to be one of Terra's legendary heroes. Visor knows, but he never tells.[1]

Prima Guide biography

Warrior clones populate the Arena Eternal. many come from the line of Visor, a Terran cyborg created and bred for fighting and killing. Where some believe Visor was synthesized from the DNA of countless Terran warriors throughout history, others believe he is simply one of the great Terran heroes himself. Visor knows the truth, and he's not telling anyone. His entire reason for being is combat, and he is very good at his job.

Visor is very aggressive and quite likely to hold a grudge against a particular opponent. He tends to be pretty honorable, though, and rarely kills an enemy who is chatting. The rocket launcher, followed by the railgun, is his favorite weapon. Visor is a no-nonsense competitor, and his comments reflect his concentration on battle.

Strategy[]

Prefers the Rocket Launcher mostly, but would go for the Railgun. When he has the Plasma Gun or BFG10K, he may be troublesome to get rid of because he uses them with a nice prediction and aims for dealing splash damage in order to air juggle his opponents helpless. His reaction time gives him a quite long wind-up time in the terms of dealing damage but if he's holding Plasma Gun he becomes quite troublesome to get rid of once he tracks whatever infront of him to predict their movement and knock 'em dead.

He has a rather slow turning speed and reaction time when compared to all other gladiators at high difficulty levels. Pretty aggressive and attacks whoever close, almost never tries to be a finisher and stack up easy frags. He's pretty open for surprise attacks from the back. He doesn't really have a movement characteristic that sticks out. He may have a slow wind-up but if you ever let him stumble upon his favorite weapons, his comeback on 1-on-1 would be little frustrating to overcome.

Trivia[]

  • His other names in the chat lines are; "Voice-box", "Clone-head" and "Daisy-picker". The latter might be an allusion to his slower turning speed.
  • He shares his model and voice with Gorre.
  • In Quake Live, all the blood and gore on Visor's model is removed, and his skin is replaced with regular, undamaged human skin.
