Take flight with Deadman Danny, available in-game now!

Wielding a rocket launcher and flying high above the streets of New York (courtesy of the Chimera Mk1 - the latest and greatest in self-adhered aviation technology), Danny rains his Strix Salvo missiles down upon foes, marking them for future attacks.
Jettison Fuel is a handy trick that both expels heat from the Chimera System, while also dousing nearby enemies in the warm embrace of a fiery inferno.
Yet his most impressive tactic has always been his ability to Close the Deal, wowing prospective customers with an explosive hands-on demonstration of all that Fairfax has to offer.
