Go lock on with anhuld or blishock.
In your case I’ll recommend A31.
Some people like quick draw in place of lock on, but it’s all about you. Try the 2 and choose. Lock on is better for airbust, quick draw is better if you use a lot your guns.

A31 god card

What are the differences between all the Cards? (Gold, Silver, Bronze)…

Skins, Weapons and Augments.

Most people here will recommend based on which is the best, not which one has the prettiest skin.

Fletcher is a merc where his primary is actually his stickies, so having Quick Draw or Lock On to reduce the time to execute the sticky, shotgun, finish combo is almost essential. The Gold A62 and Bronze A31 each have one of these. Cards are named based on a system of Letter(s) Number1 Number2. Letter(s) is the primary, Number1 is the secondary, Number2 is the melee.

The Gold card is A62, or Ahnuhld, Simeon and Stilnotto, is an alright card with Quick Draw, but the Simeon is generally worse than machine pistols, especially with a shotgun.
The Bronze A31, Ahnuhld, Empire-9 and Beckhill, has Lock On and Tough. Tough is really good.
The Silver card is H61, Hollunds, Simeon and Beckhill, without a bomb augment or machine pistol, it’s generally not good.
The other Bronze is A23, Ahnuhld, Tolen and Bat, with Unshakeable and Drilled. It’s a good gunfighting card, but doesn’t have a bomb augment.

I use a BL32. Blishlok is bae <3 .
That’s Blishlok, Empire-9 and Stilnotto with Lock On, Fail Safe and Springy.
I sometimes bust out an old Gen1 Iron BL33, Blishlok, Empire-9, Bat with Quick Draw and Tough. Gen2 is BL21, Blishlok, Tolen, Beckhill with Quick Draw, Tough and Drilled. Going to be trying for that in Cobalt when the new system is out.

From the four you’ve got, the Bronze A31. Simeon is much harder to finish with than machine pistol spray, so I don’t like the A62 or H61. A23 lacks a bomb augment, making it a pretty poor choice.

Ok thanks man :slight_smile:

like mister badmin said, bl32 is the best card imo, the lock on gives you soo much and blishlok is amazing gun, i also dont mind empire 9, but if you hate blishlok you can go with a31, you can do very funny stuff like doing 170dmg in one second :stuck_out_tongue: but then you cant do to much on long ranges

if you dont have luck with trading up you can just buy card that you want in store and then try to get it in skin that you want :slight_smile:

(you can also wait and make it using new crafting system that is coming, you will be able to chose primary weapon soo you have bigger chances of scoring card that you want)

It’ll take either cash or luck from arsenal crates to get the weapon kits. There might be other ways to get them, but they haven’t been announced.

EDIT: Can’t buy em.

Am I the only one who thinks Blishlok sucks and shotguns are 1000 times better?
RNG is always like that, since I hate the Grandeur, I got it 3 times in a row in my 3 cobalt tradeup/tradein attempts for Aimee (the 4th attempt finally gave me a FEL-IX but it’s F51 which has useless perks) and for Fletcher I got a BL32 in shard but I hate the Blishlok and I would trade it for an A31 any day.
RNG is a nutshell

Use A31, best primary for Fletcher, an SMG as a secondary, Lock On (the best perk for any engineer), Double Time which is amazing especially on mercs like Fletcher that jump a lot and Tough which is great because you start healing after 3 seconds
Save your gold Fletcher to trade up for a cobalt. I recommend you trading up the bad golds now because when the new loadout crafting system comes out you will need 10 golds and 50k credits to get a cobalt instead of 6 golds and 10k.
I’d say use your Aura, both non-katana Kiras, the gold Fletcher (obviously) and choose 2 other gold cards and craft a cobalt Fletcher, use whatever you get because cobalt is too swaggy

(MisterBadmin) #12

No, but an SMG is generally better than a shotgun because it can be used effectively at much greater range. Most people would take any other SMG over Blishlok.
I also don’t like how shotguns are handled at current. They have insane burst potential. I play DB for high Time To Kill (TTK). Low TTK weapons (shotguns, snipers) aren’t fun for me, so I avoid them.

Minor points of order:
The Empire-9 is good, but it is not an SMG. It’s a Machine Pistol.
Lock On is good, but calling it the best perk for any engineer might be exaggerating a bit. It is basically required on Bushwhacker, but Quick Draw is an acceptable replacement on Fletcher. Proxy straight up doesn’t need it.
I’m not even going to touch Double Time. That’s a minefield for a different thread.

In my experience using shotguns is like rolling dice. I hate it.

At least the Blishlock is more rewarding with headshots and accuracy.
