Ok, so I will do a quick little bit of back history here.
I bought Red Eye a while back, and loved him, he was exactly my style of Shock Rifle/Railgun aiming that I love so much. But shortly after playing him, and wrecking people, I lost interest in him. He is slow, fat, and is an easy target for anyone that can aim. With his stock weapon, he can always land that first headshot, but if you fire (hip fire I mean) the next shot, exactly on target, it almost always misses. We love spread.
In any case, I stopped playing him, preferring Nader who I do far better with. But tonight I got a new card for Red Eye, giving me a new weapon option. I have no idea what the weapon is called, but it is one of those single shot ones that Arty and Kira use.
In any case, it occurred to me, if a new merc I buy has access to 3 weapons, why do we only get a single option until we obtain more cards?
So I am going to suggest this; give us 3 loadout cards for each new merc, one that gives NO perks, but gives each particular weapon our mercs can use. I have sidelined new mercs on so many occasions because I had little in the way of main weapon choices, that I just naturally assumed those mercs were crap, as it turns out I might actually enjoy some of them with the right options from day one.
So, anyway, ramble aside, should we have all 3 weapon options available, with NO perks, from day one of obtaining a merc. I think this would benefit the game, and not make us so likely to bum out a merc just because we dont like their single weapon.
