Bushwhacker, Phantom or Phoenix

(Trishhh99) #1

I’ve been saving up my credits to buy a merc and I have 41k now. I really don’t know which one to buy though. Bushwhacker, Phantom or Phoenix? I’m not a very skilled and good player and sometimes I get myself killed a lot. I consider myself a ‘noob’ in Dirty Bomb.

My friends said that Bushwhacker is pretty cool and the turret does pretty good damage so it might help me in combat. Is he good for exp?

If I buy Phoenix, I can heal and revive myself if I die but I heard his gun doesn’t do much damage compared to Bushwhacker and Phantom…

And if I buy Phantom, I can become invisible and it may or may not prevent myself from getting killed? I don’t know if Phantom is good for a ‘not so good’ player like me.

I’ve been thinking about this for days and I really don’t know which one to buy. What do you think is better for me?

Bushwacker:
He can be pretty good, many people see him as the best balanced Objective specialist and his turret can be pretty good if you nail you positioning. But thats the point. The turret itself is pretty weak. If a single merc (Sawbonez for example) confronts a turret and both start shooting at each other the merc will destroy the turret with 1/3-1/4 of their health left.
I personally don’t like bushwacker that much…
Buy? Maybe. I did but I just don’t like him that much and never play him.

Phoenix:
Really nice combat medic with good movability. The self revive is not that often viable because other player know about your ability and try to finish you as good as they can but still there are times where it really helps. His weapon arsenal is not that different from bushwackers (Crotzni, Kek-10 and Hochfir).
Buy? Sure, why not. I’d say he’s the most “noob” friendly of the three.

Phantom:
Good players can do miracles with him, but for the common DB-player… nah. IMO he was nerfed too hard and isn’t that usefull anymore, at least for the casual player.
Buy? Better don’t. He’s underpowered hard to master at the moment.
