I need your opinions. Which Merc is most used and most helpful for you?

(What A Noob) #1

Hello I can’t decide which to get. So I am asking for your opinions :smiley:
Oops. Forgot to say. For other. Write down which one of the next upcoming Merc that you think will be useful.

Fletcher is amazing, Arty got buffed he is good now too, Phantom sucks right now, Redeye rewards high accuracy, and has a learning curve.

(Feley) #3

I would say Fletcher as he can do objectives, make traps with stickies, and deal lots of damage…

(AlBundy) #4

i would say it depends on your play style though…if you can run and gun…go Fletcher, but if you like to kinda stay back and suppress pick others

(Lisjak) #5

This is a tricky one. Out of these the most used one is definately fletcher. But the most helpful one would be arty because he has ammo. And as we all know ammo is more rare than platinum.

Honestly? Depends on the day for me. Recently, I’ve gotten more and more enamored of Kira and Fletcher.

Kira partly because the Orbital Laser is just… fun, and the Ammo Station’s a nice, low-impact ammo-generator, just need to make sure it always gets deployed somewhere useful (especially if I can crouch behind it for a bit of improvised cover…).

Fletcher, meanwhile, that’s all about his gun. I’m a big fan of Shotguns that are effective into mid-range combat, and while it can be really difficult to get the shots to hit sometimes, it’s oh so satisfying when you can battle through with it.

(also, sticky bombs :smiley: )

As much as I want to say Redeye I’ve noticed a lot of people have said that he’s tricky to use and master, so I suppose he may not be the best choice.

While on the other hand Fletcher is a very well-versed merc as he’s great at killing people and since he’s an engi he’s also adept at taking on objectives. If you like explosives or sticking people then he’s your man.

Fletcher can kill enemies extremely easily as well as do objectives quick, he’s amazing.

(SaulWolfden) #9

I voted for Redeye simply because I prefer the other engineers to Fletcher and have enjoyed Redeye, but if you don’t already have an Engineer, Fletcher is good.

Edit: I should mention that Fletcher’s sticky bombs can be thrown and placed strategically or simply thrown to hurt or kill enemies.

Redeye is the spotter marksman guy with his IR gogles who can also throw smoke to use as cover or simply confuse enemies, but this can also be a double edged sword.

Mhm most used, and most helpful for “winning a map” at the moment? Imo either Fragger or Bushwacker, but to be honest, you should have been asking about classifications imo (engis, medics, damagedealers, “supports”). So no bias-ed answers from me to your poll.

Edit: No more blind-typing on this tiny-keyboard for me.

I’m actually going to say Arty out of that list. The buff for his artillery really made a difference to me. It’s a viable weapon now since it’s so quick, and does good EV damage, making him a great teammate.

Plus I like being able to ammo supply my teammates. Even better, though! With the mechanic augment that some of his cards have, you can repair the EV and other objectives quickly, which comes in handy if your team doesn’t have an engie. Pretty awesome to me.

I haven’t tried Red Eye. Phantom was nerfed too hard and is utterly useless. Fletcher’s fun but his stickies are too buggy. So yeah, out of that list, definitely good ol’ Arty for me. :blush:

(XavienX) #12

Fletcher should be the best choice for you right now since he’s easy to use, has sticky grenades that can really harass people and do damage, nice shotguns and loadouts and good machine pistols and also a obj specialist.

(CCP115) #13

Arty. Why?

The game gave me an Obsidian from Closed beta, and my first ever Gold was an Arty.

I think the game wants me to play Arty.

(SteelMailbox) #14

One shotting auras pretty easily is something to be feared.

(DMaster2) #15

I don’t use any of them (didn’t liked Redeye).

(Fiktio) #16

Phantom is my most used merc, so Phantom gets my vote as well.

(PlayingUndead) #17

Bushwhacker. The only Bush EVERYONE definitely WILL vote for eventually.

(onyxMaker) #18

Arty for long range defending

Fletcher for close range attacking.

(N8o) #19

I spit out my tea. Why would you do this.

(Samniss_Arandeen) #20

Fragger and Sawbonez have easier learning curves but still remain useful even in more skilled play. That’s why I vote for them.

Yeah, whack that bush!
