I’ve saw the gameplay footage of him and I’m not sure If his abilities are going to be good or bad Plus he’s a recon aswell What do you think about him guys?

Anyway here is the Gameplay footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJSH8Cok23Y

I think I’m going to buy on release and stop playing comp for the first time in forever so I can practice (I am pretty awful with rifles) because the concept is so great.

Proper smoke grenade placement has the potential to do great things while playing the objective, especially once the initial rush quiets down and your smoke can’t just be negated by enemy Redeye spam. I’m also interested to see how the numbers work out with the kukri.

Buy on release, never look back.

I think he’s going to be a game changer. His abilities provide enough affect to the game to change strategies and the current workings that in play now. He will also change comp big time. I can’t wait for him to come out!

He was great in closed beta and I can’t wait to spend my credits on him.

40 damage per hit? Pretty damn good.

I’m very curious to see how his smokes can be counter played with Nader nades and Arty strikes. Fragger’s seem to be quite a waste due to long cooldown, airstrikes too but can be also be hidden in it, and but I feel like this one ability actually might help making Nader and Arty more usable without touching their stats at all.

Thanks for the feedback guys I’m actually gonna get him on release :smile:

He’ll be very “oddjob”, but I am pretty sure he’ll be good. The smoke grenade will be a very versatile tool. Covering your team, ambushing enemies, creating a panic wave, creating a decoy or straight frontal attack tool… There should be a lot of ways to use the smoke grenade.

I really hope for a very versatile merc.

Said on the role call video that “usually takes more than one (explosive) and a bit more boom” … I think stickies / nader nades don’t count as a “bit more boom” kind of explosives.

They both have very short cooldowns to make up for that fact though.
