Who is this guy?
Hank Stream- his family was kidnapped and he has only 24 hours to find it. He will do anything to find his precious son and dog.And wife, of course, how could i forget?

I wouldn't want to mess with him. Especially when he has a green, glowing... have a guess? no, not kryptonyte, just a grenade.

Grenade deals close to 40% damage, it can't be blocked, and it can hurt many targets at once. But grenade has some bugs, some of them are frustrating, some of them are fun. Grenade is a difficult one to learn but is very strong.The Cooldown is 15 seconds

How to get Hank?

Many newbies just don't know where to get hank and ask everyone. Here is the answer for all of you. You can get Hank Stream 1) If you preordered the game 2) If you bought Deluxe Edition

If you'll buy the Deluxe Edition you will get 1) Hank Stream 2) Mizu Ichiban 3)Hand Crossbow 4) Golden Axe 5) Knight Armor 6) Red Magicka Robe 7)Red Lightsaber 8)Boosts and free Magicka copy

If you have only the regular copy of the game and you want to get the Deluxe Edition stuff, you need to buy a deluxe edition.There's no Deluxe Edition downloadable pack. The best variant is to wait for sale ( and TSE is on sale very frequently) and buy the upgrade with a lower price.

What weapons to use?
Hank is the long-range character so you better bring the gun to the katana fight. If you happen to play with sword while using him, you'll get why he is a long- range guy. Let's Imagine, you are having a swordfight, you seem to be loosing, but , hey, what is it? Your ability is ready! You throw a greande into the enemy, who is standing just in front of you, and , BAM, you and your enemy get ripped by the explosion. Yes, you killed the punk, but with what cost?
That's my point.

Here are some nice sets for Hank:

1) Rifle+ Shotgun. Well, it as actually a good set for everyone, but it is useful, so it is here.
How to use:
If your enemy is in distance, just shoot him with a rifle and then roll to him as fast as you can and finish off with a shotgun.
If your enemy is right in front of you, knock him with a shotgun and finish off with rifle.
2)Rifle+ SMG

Really useful if you are afraid to miss with a shotgun. Plus, you can hit with an SMG from distance too.
How to use: same tactics as with shotgun + rifle

3) Rifle + Grenade
How to use: i think you will guess :P
(Actually, it is not a weapons set, but it is an insta kill. So i'll write that here. Plus, the grenade is unblockable, which is pretty useful.)
Various tactics
Basic Tactics

1)If you want to finish an enemy off but he blocks your every shot, just throw a grenade. It is unblockable.

2)Grenade is very useful for pre-battle damage. You hear a strange noize? Throw a grenade in the suspicious spot and then come up with your weapons.

3)To slow down your pursuitors, just throw a grenade behind. If you have a good aim and a rifle, you can even kill the enemy.

Advanced tactics:

1) Canalisation tube at the Castlemania.
Some people like to hide and heal there, just throw the grenade up and you will hit.

2)Grenade jump. Well, not very useful, but it is in the game, so.
Jump and throw a grenade under yourself in the same time.
Known bugs
Except the fact that grenade is very powerful, it is very buggy. You can easily hit yourself. If you are playing on a laggy server, your grenade will go with a huge delay, sometimes it throws itself in the opposite direction etc.But there is one funny bug, voleyball-grenade. You'll see what i mean.

Voleyball- grenade.( found by Tomas)

Ending.
I know, that gude is bad, but maybe it will help someone. Anyways, wright me if i explained something wrong or didn't explain at all, i'll edit the guide.

Thanks for reading!
