People will hate me for this but Sawbonez.

Hmm… let’s see…

Eox has Kit Kat Sawbz as his profile picture​
Ex-admin Raziel has a crush on Sawpapa
Djiesse and Mastadon (or however he likes to spell his name) has chosen Sawbonez as their merc picture

Yeah, you’re in the strong minority here bud. Never seriously played him though, but his abilities suggests that he’s as combat efficient as Bush and has as much quintuple the healing factor of Sporks

I know he is very efficient in combat and his healing is great. I always hear people suggesting new players on buying him as one of their first merc too.
But I just don’t seem to like him. His self healing feels too slow for me, his movement speed seems to slow to me (for a medic I mean) and I overall don’t seem to enjoy him or be good as him. He also was one of the last mercs that I bought.

If we need a sniper, Aimee.
If we need a dps, I’ll go Aimee.
If we need an objective specialist, Aimee because I will be the one planting the bomb anyways.
If we need a fire support, Dreiss Arty… or Aimee because if it’s a pub then half of my team should have Skyhammer.
If we need a medic that doesn’t ignore downed teammates, I’ll Sparks (I bet nobody expected that).

Just out of sheer curiosity, what’s your aim? Trust me I won’t judge, mine’s a poultry 11%

Proxy, Thunder and Phantom are quite high in my list.
The way they work often ends up in cheap kills, hence I dislike them.

You made me start Dirty Bomb to check lol.
It’s 50.1% with FEL-IX (the weapon I use the most) if I check in my profile ingame, but idk how much it is exactly because you can’t really check that.
Sometimes you shoot just as the enemy dies so it counts as a miss, or you follow the enemy and when you think you were supposed to hit them, there’s a random wall blocking the shot (and there’s no wallbanging in DB)
Sometimes you shoot deployables and downed enemies which counts as a hit even though you don’t really need to work hard to hit that shot.
And I only got my new PC just over a month ago and I can defo say my aim improved by just having good fps at all times and it hopefully will improve even more when I get a 144Hz monitor.

But overall I’d say it’s about 40-50% if we only count hits on living enemies and maybe 50% headshot percentage (I don’t always go for headshots because sometimes a bodyshot is enough, especially if it’s a SNITCH’d squishy)

If I had 50 shots and 50 dictators (Stalin, Hitler, Mao, ETC) and ~~ fucking prick ~~ proxy in front of me,

I would shoot proxy 51 times.

Im hope this means missle shots

Proxy - I find land mine extremely boring as a gadget while shotties(except for Ahnuhld -12) and Hochfir don’t really appeal to me due to the ease of use.

Vasseline - I find Aimee’s gadget more appealing when it comes to spotting and I’m not a fan of machine pistol as a secondary.

Rhino - I like to be as mobile as possible.


(pumpkinmeerkat) #50

Thunder and burst rifles

About dealing with Proxies…

Honestly, Proxy is one of those 90~ HP mercs. Very few people use the first generation ‘Try Hard’ loadouts. Thus, this mercenary has a very obvious weakness against Nader, simply because of Nader’s nade spam can go on and on if the nader does not waste all nades in one go. (Or you just have two or more of them in a single team) You can fire a nade behind a corner, blow up a mine, and then into the corridor ahead where the proxy is most likely going to rush out to replant/finish you off. Honestly, even a total scrub can force most Proxy players to switch mercenaries into something else.

Then, any loadout with the Bombsquad, shaped like a ye old timey bomb, allows you to snipe mines behind corners. I mean if you can see the symbol or glow, even without seeing the mine proper, you can blow up the mine with a bullet or two. The augment also helps against enemy snipers, etc, and can even teach you to take out Aura’s healing station.

Finally, you can actually trigger most corner mines if you just approach a ‘corner’ without rushing over. You know, just press your side against a wall, and wait for the mine to tick off. Ain’t rocket science, just patience.

As for shotgun spamming Proxies… Well, just keep your distance bro… or learn to bash with a cricket bat when they come rushing towards you.

-Any of the Bush cards other than the BL41

Um… wat? He has some great other loadouts tho

I’d love to have the CR83, which I do think is better, but I just saw a Swiss pass by me two weeks ago, and now I feel like an undignified member of society according to that loadout.

(Oo wee look at this trash of society, gaining social acceptance from virtual cards)

I don’t know why everyone hates playing Proxy. Yeah, she’s a pain to deal with unless you have a good Phantom (good luck finding those), but from my 3 hours with her, she feeels like Fletcher’s sister, while having the mobility of Kira, and those nucelar pancakes of hers are annoying, but a good few pro jumps, and you can avoid them.

Any merc can deal with Proxy, yo don’t really need Phantom specifically.
To deal with Proxy you have to know how to use her, you have to know how to be a pain in the ass with her.
Let’s just say you need some “reverse engineering” to deal with her :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry :wink:

Least favorite merc is Fletcher for sure. Me and sticky bombs just do not ever get along.

Don’t aim, you’ll hit far more shots if you are set up ahead of the target and let them do the hard work running into your sights. :smile:

Please tell me you’re a smurf… 60% accuracy with the metal toothpick? Below level 30? And an above average of 50% on every rifle?

How do I git gud Doctor?


(DrRageQuit) #55

I dont smurf. :wink:
Just 15 years of practice and a will to always be improving, at a guess. The numbers were a little higher until recently, then the ol’ carpal tunnel flared up again soon after ranked #2 started.

I mean they’re all single shot weapons so ~50% isn’t really that crazy regardless of your level. For example, I think I have around 60% on moa and I’d consider myself to be a mediocre sniper.


(bgyoshi) #57

I didn’t buy any mercs that I hate, so I almost never have this problem

But when it’s in free rotation, I hate Fletcher

Unlike most people, I like working hard for a 12/1 K/D

He’s hands down the most brain-dead easy merc for me to play and bores me to tears so I will absolutely skip his missions if they ever arise.

My numbers are divided by 2 maybe except melee. I suck so hard. :smiley:
