Fletcher. His smg is incredibly OP, his shotgun is very reliable, and his ability is amazing. Also you gotta love accents that are bordering on racist.

I’m like a little kid, I can’t pick one. Mostly because I have everyone offered at the moment (Pokemon, yes?) and I can find a use for each on every map at specific sections.
When you can aim fairly well, it barely matters what you use, so I pick what fits for the moment… and what the daily-mistress forces my min/max mind to employ.

This is pretty true. One thing I really love about this game is that every class - except maybe Fletcher - feels like it has a place and is pretty balanced.

Fletcher. Engy suite, ridiculously powerful sticky bombs that work both as grenades and mines, best secondary MP in the game, reliable shotgun with good accuracy for peeking shots.
RedEye from unreleased mercs. Throwing a smoke down and using it as cover to kill people while being invisible is just too much fun, and there are too many cool ways to use it not to have amazing fun!

I think you meant to say stereotypical and not racist. Common accents aren’t racist.

At first it was Proxy. Then I learned how to Fletcher. Since, it’s Fletcher.
I look forward to see Sparks in game though.

Just hit 50K credits and decided to get Fletcher based on your opinion. I’d tried him before, but only for a little bit. Man, he’s good. Granted, I don’t find him as fun as Nader, but getting the explosive option and still being an objective specialist is amazing.

the key factor in using fletcher is pulling out stickies using ‘4’ instead of ‘q’. Try to use the sticky as you would a short-distance fragger’s grenade, that you control the explosion off: typically you’d want to explode it ASAP, but if you’re throwing long distance, you have to wait a bit before detonating

Using 4 changed my life.

honestly, i expect him to get a nerf, once enough people figure it out. Hopefully, only cooldown will be touched.

He was already nerfed in multiple areas. His Empire has 5 less rounds. 1 Less Sticky Bomb. I vaguely remember it having a 7 second cooldown rate. And no more automatic detonation when an enemy is near.
If they nerf him more I’ll be most upset. Probably cry many a salty tear.

ive played him when direct-sticky was dealing sth like 50-60 damage, so imagine my perspective of him getting a crazy buff since darwinian update

You and me both. Getting good at landing that first bomb with the quick throw and finishing with a shotgun was my jam!
I’ve been trying to recreate the dream of that combo. Land the sticky then shoot the sticky with the shotgun. That’s what my attempts have been so far but I’ve not had much success.

Thunder, because he has such adorable puppy-dog eyes.
but in all honesty I cant say I have any favorite, just a least favorite and thats Arty because he honestly feels useless.
