If you were able to lock a back a merc you unlocked, who would you lock back up?

(K1X455) #1

Let’s say you’ve unlocked all the mercs and now you’re MercServ, and you had to balance the books because you’re falling short on ca$h and you can’t afford to operate mercs because (bugs, and schit) reasons, who would you lock back up in exchange for credits?

First ones I’d send away are:

  1. Javelin 50k - She’s just not right, right out of the bat.
  2. Vasilli 30k, Aimee 45k, and Redeye 50k- Since the sniper nerfs and now the switch weapon delay, they’re just no where near the RECON they should be.
  3. Bushwhacker 30k - My main engineer, sadly I’m not impressed with his ability at all without the augment Steady, significantly too slow and too weak to stand unsupervised, it can’t even back me up while I’m planting or repairing the EV.

Close to being dismissed as well is Phantom, but because he’s being re-worked, I’m giving him the chance to be a proper RECON. I’m not holding high hopes for Hunter either.

I have all mercs except the last 3 ones (and I would probably give them back as well, if I had them) I would also give back all recons (just dislike every single one of them) all engineers (unlike recons they are decent mercs, I just don’t like playing engineer in general) and Thunder (in my eyes a complete design failure).

  1. Guardian
  2. Phantom no matter his rework his playstyle is too selfish for me
  3. Vasilli
  4. Aimee
  5. Not Redeye but probably Rhino

The last ones would be Stokerin, Bushwhanker, Nadinoot and Señor Phoenis.

1 . arty - because he’s not a good merc , his gun is bad.

2, stoker - i can’t get any kills by motolov granade

  1. bushocker - his turrent is weak , pro players easily destroy it

  2. vassili - never get any kills , even guys with pistol kill me

Nader, Bushy, Fragger, Phantom, Arty

They’re so boring and/or simple to play that I never pick them anymore… and the only time I do is when they appear in my dailies list. In this case I usually don’t play them, they just soak up a merc slot until I’ve finished that mission, then they get swapped right back out.

Sawbonez, Red Eye, Rhino

Sawbonez is outclassed by Phoenix and Aura in pubs so he never makes my medic cut. Red Eye doesn’t have a good sniper rifle and his smoke doesn’t justify the non-headshot guns, and Rhino is just…I don’t play Rhino on principle.

Same reasons why I never bought Sparks, Fletcher, or Guardian. Sparks and Guardian are outclassed in pubs, and Fletcher is the creme de la creme of boring, easy mercs.

#6

Rhino, all snipers not named Redeye, Phantom, and probably Kira.

Don’t have use for the Snipers since I completely suck at them…umm…I think that is about it.

(Shenaynays) #8

everyone but rhino. I must learn to love him.

(FalC_16) #9

Want them all. I am a collector. I play hardly half of them. Snipers especially.

(TheStrangerous) #10

Snipers, since they don’t have the golden middle.

Playing them, is like playing a video game on unfair punishing difficulty…
I wouldn’t mind learning curve, but this is artificial difficulty. So until you find the golden middle, SD, I can’t really bother with them.

(Xenithos) #11

Laughably, I never got Turtle because I just couldn’t have any real fun with him while playing him on Free rotation.

Probably Skyhammer, maybe Kira, Guardian, and also Fletcher. He’s just not the guy I had fun with forever ago. I actually hate the fact that he’s my most played merc by another 20 hours still.

(Guziol) #12

vasili and sparks

(Steve_Harvey) #13

Probably Redeye. Sure, I’ve done some great games with him but I just never have that much fun. Also, my aim is horrid. But for some reason I’m a good vas in any match…

(Muddy Muddy Mud Nade) #14

Probably Aimee. She’s my least played merc, including Jav and Guardian, and she’s just not that fun for me to play. I’d rather use Redeye or Vassili in most situations.
