—Mynx, insults her last victim.

Mynx is a playable character and an enemy warrior in Quake III Arena. Unlike past arenas you battle her with another bot, Orbb. She favors the Grenade Launcher or the Shotgun, and uses them aggressively. If she can't find the Grenade Launcher or the Shotgun, she prefers the Rocket Launcher instead.

Biography[]

Manual biography

Fashion model, master assassin, or adult entertainer: Which is the real Mynx? She's part viper, part black widow, and all woman.

Profile

Fashion model, porno queen, assassin: which is the real Mynx? She's a cross between Barb Wire and Trinity from The Matrix. Overly sexy, smart, edgy and dangerous, no one lays a hand on her and lives...unless she asks you to.

Prima Guide biography

Smart, sexy, and dangerous, Mynx is something of a quandary. Some know her from her time on the fashion runway; others know her from her adult film roles. A select few know that Mynx was one of the world's top assassins—no job too tough, no job too small, no fee too large.

Mynx adores the shotgun and never hesitates to use it. However, her first real love in terms of weaponry is the grenade launcher, which she uses in preference of anything else. She tends to run constantly, camping out at a particular location only rarely. She also doesn't usually hold a grudge when killed frequently by one player. Mynx's commentary tends to be a little racier than most of the characters.

Strategy[]

She rarely camps at a spot generally plays on restocking, picking all possible armor at the map and staying away from other players' firefight, and playing on finishing the weak players in the arena. If player keeps the armor spawns at control when versing her the fight will be easier.

However, Mynx is a unique one to have above average accuracy with whole arsenal even at lower difficulties but still slow reaction time. With this aspect, you can treat her as the exact reverse type of Orbb who has swift turning speed but low accuracy at low difficulties. As difficulty raises you can find her trying to pick up the Quad Damage or Armor goodies in time and run around with Shotgun.

Trivia[]

  • Mynx was named after the late Jen "Mynx" Bailey, author of the "Dear Mynx" columns in the '90s[2][3].
  • Her other names in chat lines are "Hottie", "Hotstuff", "Hardcore", "Sexy", "Wild Vixen" and "Mynxie".
