i own rhino so im not being protective of him and be honest those of you that own him

I used to think so. I always seemed to lose to them and whenever I was one I seemed to be unstoppable. But then he went on free rotation and everyone had to learn to counter him. Now he just seems like a slow bullet sponge that’s only a threat at CQC and a free 300XP elsewhere. That said when backed with a medic he can still be a formidable threat but only in CQC chokepoints.

Not op, just the most bullshit class to deal with.

Especially when he’s in a health station around a tight chokepoint and you forgot to bring Fragger or Nader.

He’s one of those sitting in the middle of being OP and balanced really. Against normal players he’s pretty easy to deal with but then you get these guys who can do 180s as soon as he’s hit and guns you down in no time flat. He’d probably be balanced better if he had a turn speed limit, nothing as bad as the melee turn speed limit but something to prevent him from doing a death blossom.

Only ur sh*t.

But seriously, Rhino is taken down easily as long as it’s just one Rhino at a time.

Rhino’s a fairly easy target to take down. just aim for the head and he drops fast.

Nader is in rotation. Shower him with nades and watch him dance.

As I keep saying, he’s not OP, but he’s a roadblock and incredibly boring to fight and play as. His ability is boring, has no depth to it, and doesn’t even need management outside of the heating mechanic - which will happen once in a blue moon if you’re not stupid. A good player will just eat him up, a good player playing him will become a fucking nightmare, and without a dedicated healer he’s going to be destroyed by other mercs who have ways to damage outside their line of sight. He’s cumbersome, and is outclassed by Fragger completely.

And that’s the issue in my opinion, he’s so slow in a fast paced game that he just makes it a chore to play. It’s like SD took all the bad things about HWG in TF2 and threw them together to make Rhino

He isn’t particularly OP himself…but in pubs people just don’t know how to deal with him…9 times out of 10 I’ll get my best Kill to Death ratios with him.

Because a lot of people will charge and fire on him like he is just another merc…and I’ll mow them down with my minigun.

He already has a turn speed limit if you spin up the minigun. One of two reasons why you should never play him with it spun up all the time (especially when you have access to the N2O augment). Not only does it limit your movement but it’s so loud that you can easily hear it around any corner making him an even bigger target than normal.
