Hello Phantom!

I’m surprised to see loadouts for him without the katana. If it is not his exclusive signature melee weapon, can we expect to see it appear on other mercs?

I see that only blishcraplok loadout comes with KATANA , while K-10 loadout comes with the tiny knife … Oooooh thats a deal breaker though !
Seems like Blishlok loadout has better augments…Possibly faster charging…

Even a tiny knife is probably good if you can cloak and sneak up on someone. I doubt they will have time to react either way if they didn’t see you coming.

Doesnt katana has higher damage n more range than the tiny knife?

If they stick to their normal pattern, there will 9 different loadouts, including one with each melee weapon / primary gun combination, so expect KEK / Crotzni + katana combos.

Without knowing the katana damage the tiny knife with the kek currently does the most strong attack damage if I’m remembering right.

Bu-bu-bu, but…

I just spent all my credits on Fletcher…

Oh well, still happy with my purchase!


(humaneCushion) #48

I feel a more accurate would be comparing him to cloaking in Crysis, it’s the only game I can think of where cloak =/= wimp, and Phantom is clearly meant for front-lines as much as he is for sneaking about.

He has no scanner device, nor a sniper rifle, so his combat role is clearly assault(less about denial via information, more about breaking up encamplents), rather than scout.


(umberInlet) #49

For charged attacks, the Stilleto deals the most damage. For quick attacks, the bat is the best.

Seems to me Sparks can do precisely squat against this guy.

Ugh. Cloaking and/or swords - the only thing I like less than snipers. All the more reason to load up on recon, though - I’m assuming it’s not just Vassili’s sensors that detect him?

Sensor breaks his cloak from the sound of it and he’s still visible somewhat while cloaked and more so when running. So good awareness will help to counter.


(avidCow) #53

Seems to me he will be good for assassinating medics and engineers.

Finally we will have some sort of use for those 0/10 snipers :smiley: !

Nah. They still won’t throw the sensor.


(DutchLM) #56

I hate the blishlok but I want to play with the katana ;(


(wittyChicken) #57

So just how fast does he run compared to the rest of the cast?

Well…I have seen those guys dropping sensors under their own feet …


(GoobyOfPls) #59

@MissMurder Lets just get him out right now and only let me have him. I’ve got a cruise to go on Thursday so ya’ know :wink:

Ill play test him for you and sneak up on people in game and they’ll think I’m a hacker. Sounds like good fun! :smiley:
