Barry Unger is a mercenary recruitable from A.I.M. He has been introduced in Jagged Alliance 2 and appears in newer games.

Official description[]

"Hungarian-born Unger is part of a new breed of explosive experts. He learned most of his trade the safe way--in a classroom. His studies included the theory behind incendiary devices and the technical aspects of electronics and circuitry. Although he also took locksmith and swimming courses, he didn't do well in the latter." - A.I.M. Dossier, Jagged Alliance 2

"A pious man with an immense attention to detail, at first glance Barry seems better suited to the humble life of an electrician than a soldier of fortune. Were it not for Barry's preference for blowing things up for money and picking locks for fun, he could easily lead a happy life installing cable in his homeland of Hungary." - A.I.M. Dossier, Jagged Alliance 3

Notes[]

  • Nonswimmer
  • Barry is probably a wise choice at the initial stage of the game because of relatively low hiring cost. His wisdom compensates for laking of experience level and can boost his Marksmanship points after getting through to some battles. His Marksmanship can also be raised quickly using the Throwing Knife method.
  • In V 1.13 he is an excellent choice. His cost is very low and he has the Engineer trait, greatly boosting the speed of repairs and skill in mechanical tasks. High-speed repairs and high wisdom make his relatively low starting mechanical skill a quickly forgotten issue.
  • It is not known whether Barry is named after the last husband of Lynne Frederick.
