In order to balance the gameplay of the Deathmatch Mercenary, he is unable to utilize allies' weapons unless they are dropped upon death as they would otherwise remain inaccessible to him. He is also capable of quick pickups of the enemy after their demise, allowing him to obtain or steal their weapons before his allies are killed or at risk of danger. The Mercenary is also able to receive randomized weapons for any kills or assists he executes in-game, including Joke Weapons.
