Bushwhacker or Proxy

Need an engi. Help me choose.

PS I know that Fletcher is quite good with sticky bombs but I already have Nader…

While I’m a fan of Proxy, I’d suggest Bushwhacker for newer players. He has a strong primary weapon and can double his DPS in close range defense rolls. Both Proxy and Fletcher are primary offensive Mercs.

The question should be Bushwhacker A N D Sexy Proxy

Bushwacka is a little more versatile imo, the turrets are great support and are awesome for flanking or placing in sneaky spots.

Bushwhacker is generally the best engineer. You don’t even need to rely as much on the turret, just Kek people in the face.

I wouldn’t give him the wrong impression, with the right placement you can clutch a bomb plant with ease.

For example, on underground, put your turret next to the drop off from the gas chamber. Then plant the bomb on the right ramp. You pretty much can hold that spot on your own, especially if you hop on the boxes in the middle and use that sightlines by the tubing to shoot at enemies.

Proxy is great for pub-stomping new players and killing entire teams of noobs, but Bushwhacker is much more consistent and effective against better players.

That said, Proxy does have amazing movement speeds and can flank the enemy quite easily. However, a good enemy team won’t let her slip through, so the movement is kind of irrelevant.

Wow, didn’t expect so few Proxies.
Time to prox some turrets then :wink:

I love Proxy, but Bushwacker is the better Engineer.
-More HP (These 2-3 extra hits you can survive can mean the difference between planting/defusing or dying before you finish)
-no Shotgun (I can’t stand them)
-Turret, that can hold Enemies quite a bit and kill unsuspecting ones
-epic Mustache

Don’t forget when he goes down he holds that cigarette between his lips like a champ no matter what! “You may kill me but you will not make me waste a cig!”

Bushwhacker is better at defense than Proxy, she is more effective as an attacker, though I’d say she is the middle ground when it comes to the Engineers since she can attack and defend with her mines effectively. Fletcher imo is the most attack focused of the Engineers.

Well, I can’t argue with that.

Proxy when attacking.
when defending i find playing support class much more effective.
