Favorite Mercenary And Why?

(XavienX) #1 
 My favorite is da sniper, Vassili.  Freakin feels so good to get headshots consecutively and give your teammates an advantage with the heartbeat sensor.
 What's your favorite mercenary and why?

It’d probably have to be Nader. I enjoy having the option of engaging enemies around corners, or taking out campers without having to expose myself. I do feel bad about it, sometimes, because so many people don’t know how to counter Nader. And then I get flamed for using “that noob GL”. Thankfully, blowing things up is how I feel better again, too, so it works out in the end.

I’d say it’s as much, if not more, about her character, though. What can I say? I’m a sucker for buff German blondes who love their work, or . . . something, I don’t know.

My favorite merc isn’t in-game yet, currently it would be Proxy though.

Def Nader, though I wished her made launcher was a bit more like the demo man’s in tf2

Bushwhacker. He is as good as having a 6th man on the team(Competitive).

(Zeus33rd) #6

Vassili here. Those 1 shot HS gibs are a BIG deal for the team if you can pull it off consistently. And a heartbeat sensor in the right place can turn a match around in a…heartbeat. gigglesnort

Tough call between Nader and Aura. I really enjoy Auras speed, but apart from that I like Nader a lot more, she’s just so versatile and the Crotzni smg is great.

Skyhammer because of his versatility and because he is free… next would be Vassili for being a sniper and after that it would be Stoker.

Nader is actually my second most favorite when I rage or have to deal with campers as well and just spam grenades everywhere. And also her default SMG somehow really fits my playstyle.

i really like skyhammer for the all rounder aspect.

i love fragger too! I haven’t use too many of the mercs yet.

I keep changing. I think the most consistently fun is SMG/SMG Proxy with Double Time (reload on the run). Flanking with her is the best. But I really enjoy playing as Vassili and Sawbonez too.

I honestly prefer Proxy because those mines make nice corner bait, and the fact that there haven’t been that many engies around since open beta make me feel like I’m a very important part of the team by doing the objectives.

And to be frank, she’s the best looking merc so far. Kira runs a close second though.

<–

I’ve always liked the support aspect of teamplay FPS ever since I started playing RTCW. There’s another medic I haven’t played yet so maybe Sawbonez will have some more competition in the future.

Proxy for her speed on foot (this girl can haul crev!!) and with objectives and her mines, always fun seeing people in chat rage over them xD. im hoping to get her card with an smg or aura’s shotty.

(peculiarPond) #15

My favorite is Fragger, dropping 50 bombs all day.

Those “bait” annoy the sh*t outta people like me lol

(Aazhyd) #17

Skyhammer as a general tool, Proxy for more special tasks. Proxy with SMG is insane. Also nice to bait someone into a mine.

(R5on11c) #18

Currently Kira. She is fast, accurate and has a freaking las0r beam of death from the sky, what more do you want?

In the future it’s probably going to be phantom. If you’ve seen me in the top plays you probably know that i have a thing for melee weapons and melee’ing people.

(forthrightDial) #19

Aura for me as of right now, her stock shotgun can easily take down most mercs and her Station gives a great defensive and offensive use. Defensively she can aid her team in important corridors and offensively she can pop it down and pick it up on the move. also she has great movement speed which is incredibly useful for long-walljumps

well alright

i’m engi guy since ages (RTCW/ET)
not sure if i have favorite merc at that point (i enjoy playing with Proxy & Fletcher, occasionally Nader)

…maybe Nader with engi abilities would be on my taste (i really enjoyed playing the good old engi from ET with k43 and grenade launcher)
