'''McGinnis''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]].'' The head of [[Fairfax Industries]] Military R&D department, McGinnis has a high opinion of her work which includes her machine gun, automatic numerous Mini Turrets, Spectral Walls, that she can create to protect teammates, hold down positions and trap enemies, Medicinal Specter, which dispenses health to nearby allies, and finally, a devastating spectral Heavy Barrage that can reach even faraway enemies.

A talented engineer who started her career from a young age, Margaret "Maggie" McGinnis isn't fond of theoretical work, thus spending most of her time working in a mechanics shop, often meddling with the supernatural. While the ethics of brainstorming the occult war machine are grey at best, McGinnis isn't that fussed so long as she gets her paycheck.

{{WeaponCard|key=hero_forge}}

=== Notes ===
* Services Rendered takes {{#expr:1/{{HeroData|hero_forge|SpinAcceleration}}}} seconds to spin up, increasing McGinnis' fire rate and bullet spread, and slowly winds down at {{#expr:100*{{HeroData|hero_forge|SpinDeceleration}}}}% per second ({{#expr:1/{{HeroData|hero_forge|SpinDeceleration}}}} seconds total at max spin) as indicated by the grey indicator around the crosshair.
* Services Rendered's base fire rate starts at {{HeroData|hero_forge|RoundsPerSecond|3}} bullets per second (Cycle time: {{#expr:1/{{HeroData|hero_forge|RoundsPerSecond|3}}round2}}) and spins up to {{HeroData|hero_forge|RoundsPerSecondAtMaxSpin|3}} bullets per second (Cycle time: {{#expr:1/{{HeroData|hero_forge|RoundsPerSecondAtMaxSpin|3}}round2}}), averaging around {{#expr:{{HeroData|hero_forge|RoundsPerSecondAtMaxSpin|3}}*0.88round1}} Bullets per second per clip at the beginning of a match.
* The DPS and Bullets per second stats listed in-game use the max spin up values.

== Abilities ==

{{AbilitySection
| hero_name   = McGinnis
| ability_num = 1
| notes       =
* Turrets have {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|MeleeResist}}% melee resist and {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|TechResist}}%  spirit resist.
* Turrets deal {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|NonHeroDamagePercentOutgoing}}% damage to [[Trooper]]s and [[Denizen]]s and {{#invoke:Abilities|get_ability_prop|Mini Turret|BossDamagePercentOutgoing}}% damage to Objectives.
* Turret targeting works as follows:
** It will initially target the nearest enemy hero in line of sight when it is placed. If no hero is in sight, it will target the nearest enemy [[unit]].
** It will only switch targets once its initial target dies or leaves sight, or when McGinnis starts shooting a hero in sight, in which case all turrets will attempt to aim at the hero being shot.
** Shooting a unit or hitting an enemy hero with [[Melee Attack]]s, abilities or items will not change the turret's target.
* [[Damage Falloff]] does not affect incoming damage to the turrets. The turrets will always take full [[Weapon Damage]] from an enemy, regardless of distance.
* Turrets yield {{Souls|{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_forge_sentry_gold_reward}}}} souls + {{Souls|{{DataProp|Convar|citadel_forge_sentry_gold_reward_bonus_per_minute}}}} per minute when killed. Part of the bounty can be denied as a [[Soul Orb]].

* Healing '''does not stack''' when multiple Specters cover the same area.
* All of Specter's buffs (including augments from items like {{ItemIcon|Healing Tempo}}) will linger for 1 second after stepping outside of its AoE. The linger effect will extinguish alongside Specter if the latter's duration ends before 1 second.

* Spectral wall has a set time of 1.8 seconds to reach it's max range, with its base speed being 27.8m/s. Thus, the speed of the wall increases proportionally to an increase of its range with items like {{ItemIcon|Mystic Expansion}} or {{ItemIcon|Arcane Surge}}.
* Both enemies and teammates can [[Melee Attack|melee]] the wall to destroy its segments.
* Each segment of the wall has 200 health. A light melee deals 50 damage and a heavy melee deals 100 damage to the wall regardless of a hero's [[Melee Damage]] stat.
* The T3 turrets are deployed on the side of the wall facing McGinnis.
