ive been using nader primarily since the first time i could buy a merc.
but now i use phoenix, vasilli and proxy along side nader depending on the map, but still primarily nader though phoenix is bout to surpass her as u can easily rack up 10k or more in xp during a stopwatch with him. and i seem to get a ton of earn x amount of support xp for missions.

Rhino…
Like, wtf else can you say, large health, minigun with infinite ammo and only a cooldown.
Just sit in a spot and lock it down, stay near a Medic…win win win[/quote]
Skyhammer
Yet people don’t know how to play him. Ammopacks don’t exist if I don’t want them to right?

If you’ve come from other games such as CSGO, TF2 or whatever, I’d personally reccomend skyhammer, stoker, fragger or anyone who can use an assault rifle. It just was natural to me and I just prefer those characters.
Otherwise, maybe someone who uses shotguns or SMGs where bullets are not short supply.
That’s my opinion, anyway.

I would say Vassili is the hardest merc to master since the fact that around 97% of vassili players are just bad.

i think all merc is noob if they can’t play well.
medic = not heal and revive
engineer = not repair/arm/disarm/deliver objective
firer support = not give ammo
assault = be naive meat shield
recon = can’t kill. just die.

I think Thunder is most noob friendly merc.
Because of slow speed and huge size, you wouldn’t rely on changing movement direction and jumping, but on high HP instead.
His grenade is easiest do use - just throw it before you enter the room and shoot everybody there. Add team work and this ability is used to its maximum. You don’t need to cook it, count time to kill target on different distances or abort progress if you missed the moment like you do with Fragger.
At the same time Thunder is more versitile than Rhino, who needs to be in close range, requires medic and too big and slow.
I also disagree that Proxy is noob friendly merc. She is loved like a Vassili.
She is easy kill farm on pub servers, so experienced players rek newbs and those decide she is actually a good merc. So they only learn to plant mines in places where newbs/noobs usually come without mine check; how to rush in and plant mine before you die; how to rush and plant/repair/disarm and die in process.
Soon as such players meet someone experienced they will scream “how u saw my moines? HAX!!!”. It actually requires a lot of experience to abuse mines, small hitbox and high speed to kill such players while being 90 hp merc.
Bushwhacker is more noob friendly engineer. Just plant a turret where it will shoot enemies/cover something and go somewhere else with 110 hp merc and KEK.

I believe you misunderstand the initial question here.

The answer might surprise you: it depends.
More precisely, it depends on what playstyles you gravitate towards.
I would never recommend a single person a specific merc without first talking to them about what they expect to get out of Dirty Bomb.

Thunders grenade is in no way noob friendly, a noob player would end up blinding himself most of the time instead of the enemy.
