Flamethrower Merc

(MasoN) #1

would be cool to see a flame-thrower Merc introduced,what do you guys think?

Well, there will come Stoker, a guy who can use the AUG (but has a different primary), has the same ammo-station as Kira and throws Molotovs like Fragger :wink:

They do one hell of a good AoE-damage and are useful for making the enemy incapable of repairing the EV, or grabbing the objective bc. the floor around it burns for some time… ^^

oh,cool i also think arty should get some kind of rpg/smaw tbh to buff him a little

How strong was the fire damage?

Idk, mercs with flamethrower and rocket launcher seem like TF2 knockoff to me.

almost 100% positive Stoker’s default main weapon is the Timik, NOT the AUG.

@mendaciousPole could kill you if you sat on it for more than 2 seconds as Sawbones, I’d say 30-50 half a second.

@MasoN there’s a merc called Javelin who has one, I have a thread showing off how it works

But Stoker is a flame-thrower merc!

Get it? Because he throws molotovs? Eh? Get it?

… I’ll show myself out.

Pretty balanced from what I remember. Than again, the last time I played Stoker was probably over a year ago, so who knows how he will handle in open beta. He was one of my favorite ammo mercs, by far.
