Just some speculation about weeks 3&4

(MarsRover) #1

Ok, so we know the 8 mercs left for weeks 3&4. Turns out there is quite a bit of function overlap that restricts the number of viable permutations:

Engineer: Bushwhacker vs Fletcher
Assault: Fragger vs Thunder
Recon: Red Eye vs Vassili
Uhmm… support-ish? :wink: : Kira vs Phoenix

I don’t have access to any free rotation stats but my gut tells me that SD can create an easy rotation to win for either Fletcher or Vassili. Grouping them with Thunder and Phoenix - one is weak, the other is non-exciting. Kira and Fragger are more appealing.

My tinfoil hat predictions based on that assumption and my worst fear - an easy win for Vas:

  1. Bushwhacker, Thunder, Vassili, Phoenix
  2. Fletcher, Fragger, Red Eye, Kira

I tried creating two equal groups for them but ultimately I failed. So the only solution is for them to battle it out now. Question is who else should be with them, which means being condemned to a certain loss?My guess is:

  • Fletcher, Thunder, Vassili, Phoenix - looking at Sawbonez in week 1, Phoenix has no chance so he may as well be here. Thunder - sorry, buddy :frowning:
  • Bushwhacker, Fragger, Red Eye, Kira - a very close and exciting group that may fluctuate to the very last day

They will probably rig it so an engineer is the culprit and then just make them free.

I think Fletcher will win whatever group he is in just cause he is an engineer

Well, in any case, Kira will never be a Prime Suspect.

I’m afraid there will be blinding rotation with Red eye & Thunder with Bush as engineer and than explosion rotation with Fletcher & Fragger with Vassili as recon.

Rig it? An engineer will most likely win because people without one unlocked will pick the free one.

Most people that don’t have an engineer unlocked yet probably don’t have one unlocked because they don’t do objectives.

Or they don’t unlock engineers, because they know it’s guaranteed that always one is on rotation, so why waste money. I certainly did that and unlocked all the engineers last.

I feel you, no fancy loadouts for us :<
(Hell I’m certain that I won’t even get a suspect loadout for Kira)

I know what you feel bro. I wanted Sawbonez in week 1 :frowning:

(FalC_16) #11

I just hope kira and fletcher is in one week.

(Yes) #12

It would be even better if they both lost too.

The worst week can be Fletcher Kira vassili redeye, aka spam laser useless smoke. Here comes the chaos !
But I think vassili and redeye the same week is impossible.
