[2019] Tachanka Rework

I still want to meme, so please preserve your Tachanka code!

Hm. I'm not sure if this will be an option. The purpose of a rework is to completely redo a character from the ground up, and keeping an older version of that operator around may defeat the purpose of doing a rework. Don't worry though, the memes WILL live on. Just you wait.

We announced it at the beginning of the year, and finally our very first ever Operator rework is here. Russian Defender Tachanka has proven to be a well-liked character in the community, but he came with a set of flaws we wanted to address and repair.

Thats why he has traded his beloved turret to create an all-new way of moving. We have given our trusty Operator a fresh spin through a new gadget, a new primary weapon as well as a new ability in a conscious effort to transform a popular personality into a force to be reckoned with. Dont worry, Tachanka has kept his spirit, he just got brand-new toys to play with!
