So…I’ll just say it
You know how Sparks has those little med packs, that resemble the ones you get from looter?
Well, there’s ammo packs like that too, I say we give em to Fragger and Thunder, and nerf their hp to 140 respectively, and change their speed to compensate.
As for Thunder well, change his nade like so.
Yes, I realize we are making them fire support mercs, but let’s be really honest with each other. Assault is kinda broken, they don’t serve any other role than killing, and due to the problem with this game as is where certain key roles aren’t being filled, medic, engineer, ammo, intel, etc. We need to balance the mercs to ALL contribute to the game in some way, every single one of them needs to have some kind of utility or support.
I feel like this way, Fragger and Thunder are still potent enough, but don’t overstep too much into Skyhammer and Stoker’s roles. They give a little ammo here and there, but are mainly about dealing damage.
