List of Loadouts (WIP)

(smartIsland) #141

i am really liking c41, focus actually feels really good with bushys default smg, for some reason i can basically stay iron sited and get continuous headshots quite easily

(DB Genome editor) #142

A pair of unconfirmed I spotted:

Bushwhacker (Bronze) C41
Nader (Bronze) SM72 Revised Operative (last augment is Spares)

And a couple of brand new ones:

Nader (Iron) CR72 ??? Operative (Double Time, Focus)
That would complete the Iron set but I couldn’t get her complete name due to poor contrast between the text and the underlying pic. Maybe someone with better eyes than me can help: i.imgur.com/RthPI9S.jpg

Nader (Gold) SM43 Standard Operative (Drilled, Sneaky, Focus)
It would be either the Silver level addition or the Gold one.

(Amerika) #143

I was sitting on a bit over 30 cases last night and decided to open all of them and trade up in an attempt to get that card. I didn’t expect it but I actually got it \o/ So I now have his more offensive focused card in CR42 Original Operative (Potent Packs, Focus, Drilled) and the more support role card of + CR73 Companion Operative (Potent Packs, Mechanic, Get Up).

Basically, one you pub with and one you MM with unless you are planning on being an offensive medic. I’d consider them the two best with SM72 Technical Operative (Get Up, Extra Supplies, Chopper) being in there but I’m not a fan SMG-9 compared to the Crotzni.

Updated, thanks!

@Amerika: I’m actually warming up to the SM again. It got worse DPS than the CR, but I noticed that it’s a bit of a headshot machine and really efficient due to it.

Based on stats it’s almost identical to the CR, only with slightly lower ROF and slightly better accuracy. So my theory is that the slightly better accuracy makes up for the loss in base DPS (more headshots, at least on medium range +) and the slightly lower ROF at comparable effective DPS (with headshots) means that a magazine can take you further.

(Amerika) #145

I will have to give it another go then as it’s been a while. I just really enjoy the Crotzi and when I had an SMG-9 a while back I wasn’t as big of a fan. But, you have convinced me! I’ve also been enjoying learning Arty’s rifles recently.

I’ve got another bunch of unconfirmed that can now be promoted to confirmed:

Nader (Silver) CR72
Nader (Silver) SM72
Bushwhacker (Silver) BL81
Bushwhacker (Silver) BL73
Skyhammer (Gold) B92
Arty (Silver) D83
Arty (Gold) S72

If I’m not mistaken that leaves 1 unconfirmed Gold loadout for Bush and 4 for Nader, plus 1 Silver Nader. All the loadouts for the first batch of 7 mercs should be 100% confirmed.

So I was away for work last week with a fair bit of time to kill in the evenings and I thought I’d try to put all this info in a visual format, so I started working on pictorial loadout trees showing the available loadout for each mercs and their relationships. Still a work in progress as there are a number of loadouts I was not able to find pics for (the red ones), and of course we still don’t have a complete set for Nader yet either:

Of course you’ll need to know your augment icons to make sense of it, but they are not that hard to pick up.

If anyone out there has screenshots of the missing loadouts or better resolution versions of the poorer ones, I’ll be happy to make updates.

EDIT: Thanks to @Wolven 's suggestion, pics are now available in full-size

(Zenity) #148

Very cool @Djiesse. Something for the wikis. :slight_smile:

(Wolven) #149

@Djiesse Nice work. Perhaps you can host the pictures here: http://postimage.org/

(Amerika) #150

@Zenity Update everything that says “Throwing Knife” with “Quick Slash” to account for the recent removal of the former and the inclusion of the latter.

(DB Genome editor) #151

Thanks! That worked fine, they are now available in full-size.

[quote=“B. Montiel;10306”]I noticed that when you do a trade-up for a new loadout, if you already put a card for the selected merc, you end up with an upgraded version of the loadout you already had (+1 augment). I’ve never further went than bronze loadouts through trade-ups, so it needs to be confirmed for silver and gold.

Just tried trading up to silver using a proxy bronze card and it didn’t work. Unless you mean you have to have the card you want locked to the merc (greyed out) before you try it?

Sounds inaccurate to me, as this would mean that the 4th & 5th Iron Loadouts, 6th Bronze Loadout, 7th Silver Loadout and the 8th Gold Loadout can ONLY be gained via Case.

This should be able to be confirmed or denied by trading up Lead to Iron. Can anybody test? (I am out of Lead Loadouts)

Okay, locked in a lead Nader card with flying pig & Hochfir (sorry, didn’t check the card number) and the trade up gave me an SMG-9, Unshakeable, Springy. Unless the other cards you pick to trade contribute to the selection, it appears to be have been a random result for me both times.

Thanks. I appreciate you giving this a test.

(smartIsland) #156

Def no craft system in place such as the one described. tried it last week

(DB Genome editor) #157

Found the Nader (Silver) SM43 (Drilled, Sneaky, Focus) today, so SM43 is the Silver-level addition and we’re still missing the Gold-level loadout. Based on the patterns we’ve seen so far, I predict it will be a KE72 B)

That being said, with all the Naders around these days, I can hardly belive no one would have come across that missing loadout… :’(

(Ardez1) #158

I can confirm that gold SM72 exists for Nader

(DB Genome editor) #159

Nader (Gold) SM41 confirmed by @saucyPattern here

(Zenity) #160

Added Fletcher. Let the hunt begin (anew)! :slight_smile:

His primary weapons are the default Ahnuhld shotgun, the Hollunds shotgun, and his SMG loadout is the Blishlok (sadface).

More interesting is his default secondary weapon which is the Empee… coughcough Empire-9. I love that little dart gun, so I expect that I will prefer his default loadout over the Blishlok alternative.

I still need to understand exactly how his sticky bombs work, and how those interact with the Lock-On perk. Maybe this only affects the time until they can be triggered? That one seems to be pretty short already though, so I still wonder what this is for.
