My Luck so far in this game and What to do now?

(cFn) #1

I started playing this game a month ago and its been great. Maybe the luck played a big part but I love Skyhammer and Nader and the fact that I got a M92 Elite Rifleman on an alienware case and traded in 6 golds to get the CR81 Superb Operative on my first cobalt trade up. Also got an Arty Cobalt on a regular case which I posted a while back which is nice whenever I feel like playing him.

Now I have this 1 spot left and idk who to give it too. I have an opportunity to trade for another cobalt but I want to make sure I use it on the right character that fits me. I was thinking maybe a medic cause I have Skyhammer who covers the area and a nader to scout around and nade stuff so I don’t really need another guy playing the field but an objective specialist is nice too. Argh soo confused. Any suggestions?

Sawbonez or Fletcher.

Do you usually play with friends? If so do they usually run medic or engi? For me, I set up to compliment my friends. I usually run skyhammer, fragger and bushwacker, my friend will run with a sawbonez and a sniper in his loadout so we always have an option for every scenario. If you don’t play with friends though then I’d say get an engi, bushwacker is a good choice because he has the kek which is arguably the best gun in the game, at least it was at some point. Fletcher is fun but not as practical, sticky bombs are his main selling point because his primary weapons are not that strong. 2 shotgun variations or a blishlok. Also his augments are not working as intended and there are bugs with the sticky bombs so factor that in as well. At the end of the day though it what you prefer, I hope I helped you decide anyway.

Seems like you like more to blow up stuff than actually play with a little more finesse. If you do go for a medic then it seems to me you’d be more happy with sawbones. If you do go for an engineer, then maybe fletcher would satisfy your need for explosives. If you just want to run an offensive crew then maybe fragger would be your best bet.

Now if on the contrary you want a more frail/ faster/ tactical merc. Then sparks or Aura for medics and proxy if you’d fancy an engineer.

If you’re looking for another OP character, just like Nader, then Rhino is your best bet.

Phantom has no identity currently, Vassili should be obvious if you want to snipe. Arty is a truncated skyhammer anyway. Kira is tough to use properly, while redeye seems to do more harm to a team with wrong placed smokes than anything else.

This is my opinion on the matter.

for a cobalt trade up id probably consider my chances for getting a loadout that i actually want to play with.

so that means for me:

merc vs amount of viable loadouts for me

sawbones 3
sparks 1
fletcher 1
kira 1
rhino 1
bush 2
aura 2
vas 2
fragger 2
nader 2
arty 2
sky dont care
phantom dont care
redeye dont care

so ya, sawbones would be my pick for a cobal chance, maybe, just maybe nader.
so perhaps make your own little list in your head, then decide?

Fletcher.

He’s the only guy you need.

Get the Blishlok/Empire or Ahnuld/Empire loadouts and you’re golden.

(Dirmagnos) #7

If already dont have, sawbonez all the way.

I have won several matches by playing Sparks. I revive four or five team members after a big firefight. Now, the other team has to respawn and run to the fight. My team can deliver the objective or set up a defense in that time. We can get amo-ed up and healed. Our bushwackers, proxies, and meds have time to set up their gear.

I love sparks. It’s my favourite merc. I kill and heal within a moment’s notice and it feels so satisfying.

Don’t trade up, just buy the loadout cards you want in bronze from credits and save the rest for new mercs. Crafting up for loadout cards is just not worth it.

Bump cause of this great luck I have! I guess I’ll be using fragger for a while.

(Yes) #12

God damn, share that luck please. :’(

You motha…

I would suggest you to test all mercs that are available and then decide what kind of merc you would like to use.
Meanwhile you are testing mercs and you probably happen to have some credits left, you could of course trade up lower level loadouts up to different level.
When you decided and know which merc deserves third one cobalt loadout, you can trade up again and get cobalt loadout for the merc you like most. :slight_smile:
