Mercenaries w/ Equip?

[Jimmifett]

When I use Equip Mercenary, everyone in the group gains the visual components as well as the status icon in the pet view. Is the power actually upgrading the entire team, or just the soldier I selected?

Mastermind upgrade buffs zap your whole team (unless one's out of range for some reason). You used to have to zap each minion but it was causing a delay for teams getting set up upon entering missions, so the devs just gave up and made it a 1 and done buff. The recharge is slower now, though, so if one dies in combat and you replace it and equip it and then another one dies, you may not be re-equipping it for a little bit.
