His Mechanical skill isn't fantastic, but at 35 he can use the field cleaning kits to maintain your weapons until you get a proper mechanical person.

His 64 Marksmanship isn't too shoddy either, but needs a bit of work. He's also got an 89 in Stealth, beaten only by Nails' rating of 91, making him a veritable stealth ninja man, especially when combined with his Desert Eagle and silencer. Thor is a good medic with a starting rating of 70 in Medical, meaning he's not too far off being able to use the large 5 a pop Medkit. My preferred opening team is Buns and Thor, because they both come with pistols, Thor has a silencer, and you can get one for Buns in the opening level immediately, which makes the opening game a lot easier as you can take out the foe quietly instead of loudly. Assuming you're playing on the normal difficulty because you're not a masochist, you've got 40.000 Arulco-bucks to spend.

In Jagged Alliance: Back In Action, the first thing you'll have to do when beginning a new game, after having a check of the emails and maybe a quick perusal of the RIS report, you need to make a selection of mercs for your opening team.
