"He's never been one to let honor cloud his judgement. For him, each and every soldier is family." -Unknown Blackgold Commandant (Season 6 Preview Trailer)

"When that time comes, we'll load our weapons and say our respective prayers." -Renoir to the player. (Season 6 Event Recording)

(Note: This version uses the new but upcoming Solo-Ops mode included in this bot, so no more enemy op drama and stuff. The new scenario puts you on Renoir's army.)

(Old Introduction for Renoir.)

Basic Information:

Renoir Brady is the boss of the Armory map. He is, on paper, the hardest boss out of all bosses to kill for a variety of reasons - he sports the enhanced AI of most Armory enemies, is backed by a platoon of bodyguards himself, on top of the AI already inside the bunker, throws tactical and lethal grenades, and wears, at minimum, T5 armor, including a Matzka helmet and mask, though he usually spawns with T5 armor. While he always spawns with the Matzka helmet, he may spawn with several different pieces of body armor or armored rigs. If wearing body armor, he will always have an FA Multipurpose Chest Rig. Known armors include:

• SA101 Full Heavy Body Armor (Leg Armor included)

• Defender L4 Heavy Armor (Officer Skin)

• 926 Composite Body Armor

• Defender M4 Heavy Armored Rig.

He also uses a variety of modified weapons, using T5 ammunition, barring the S12K, at minimum. Examples include:

• RPK-16 (BP, T4)

• MK14 (M80, T4)

• AK-74N (BP, T4)

• AKM (BP, T4)

• S12K (AP, T3)

He spawns in one location - the south Bunker of Armory, in various areas such as the central hub and the side hallways. While he is generally identified by his grey outfit (with a cape) and his Maztcha helmet, he has a black beret underneath his helmet. If he is using the Defender M4 Rig, his helmet will use the Steel Reserve skin. His guards can also be differentiated from the normal Armory guards by the fact they wear black balaclavas and have a darker green uniform.

Renoir's boss token is the Battleforged Badge, labeled "Identity" in the inventory.

Strategy

While he can be taken on his own relatively easily with concentrated firepower, he's backed by all of the AI in Armory, all of whom are highly lethal.

Renoir is almost always accompanied by a pack of bodyguards and is quite durable - use a high fire-rate weapon with the appropriate ammunition (high penetration is preferred) to hose him down, and pick off his guards. Be aware that some of them will use shotguns with AP slugs, which have the off chance of immediately penetrating even T4 armor and killing players instantly. If you don't mind damaged goods, and are confident with your grenades, you can try your hand at killing the group with explosives. As his helmet will almost never spawn with full durability, and his face mask is a large target, it may more prudent to light up the helmet.

Since Renoir and his bodyguards wear very heavy armor, low penetration but high damage ammo paired with high fire rate weapons (such as G18C with 9x19 Dum Dum ammo) may be worth considering, as their high-damage output, when directed at the legs, can bypass the armor and preserve it when looting. However, as Renoir can spawn with armor that covers more of his body, including the T5 SA101 armor set, it can be difficult to perform.

He serves as a Tevillian boss in Warring Factions, and wears downgraded versions of his standard equipment, with less durability, bar his helmet, which remains at max durability.

He once got his armory raided by Task Force DEFY in the event, Butterfly Breeze.
