New Role-call today! RED-EYE CONFIRMED

(VincentRJaeger) #41

RED-EYE is confirmed the new merc for DB! Rejoice!

I won’t deny it. I am hyped for him. I like what I see in terms of gameplay. What about you lot? Also, will he be OP or UP or balanced?

Discuss!

…Wait, my stupid joke actually sounds like a fun idea. Glue one to an enemy : oh boy the laugh I would get.

Red-Eye is actually Fletcher 2.0 with Sticky Smokes.

As a primary, yes.

He’s OP as soon as someone gets a headshot with under the cover of smoke.

After watching the role call, he’s going to top tier for sure, at least up there with Skyhammer, Fragger, Sawbonez, and Bushwacka as the gold standard.

(Derpfestor) #47

SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

(VincentRJaeger) #48

Looking at his gold card, all I can say is: That sexy red beret!

John Madden football aeiou.

It’ll depend of how is the M14 IMO. I doubt that a lot of people would play him with the Dreiss. It’s a very nice weapon, but lots of people does not seem to like it.

I also hope the “meta” will move a bit someday. Kira and Fletcher have some potential in comp IMO, but sadly they are not very used.

You can sometimes hear Red-Eye shout “SMOKE!”.

It’s actually “SNAKE!”

Well just from looking at it in the video and my expeirene using the Ambassador in TF2…this thing is going to be beastly in the right hands.

As for tier listing…honestly, here’s my take on it.

A Tier: Skyhammer, Sawbonez, Fragger, Red Eye, Bushwacka
B Tier: Fletcher, Nader, Vasilli, Kira
C Tier: Proxy, Sparks, Rhino
D Tier: Arty, Phantom, Aura

A tier: Pretty much the best of each role, these are what I think are standard on a team, just my opinion is all.

B tier: Good classes but require a bit of support, or very circumstantial/situtional, they can’t always be used in comparison to A tier

C tier: Decent enough, but have a lot of severe drawbacks, low health, low speed, great abilites but these downsides really do hurt you assuming you’re playing against the best of the best players in Dirty Bomb

D tier: these mercs just aren’t what they need to be, Arty’s ability is terrible compared to Kira and Skyhammer, Aura’s healing station is great but she is really squishy, and a good Fragger just dominates her, and Phantom just doesn’t offer enough for a merc who can use SMGs and has 110 health. And the way he plays as it stands just doesn’t bode well for 5v5.

This is all just based on what I’ve played and seen so far, take it with a grain of salt.

(XavienX) #52

Well, they better tweak Phantom as well since RedEye is his counter.

(Coconut) #53

I’m very excited to see him in game. I think he’ll be very strong in the right hands. Thanks for ripping the section from the stream and posting it to youtube!

(Vexed) #54

The irony is that with all those Redeyes they’ll cancel each other out since his IR also serves as a spotting tool.

(Gi.Am) #55

Smoke, dreiss, IR/spotting ability and a khukri. Well seems like I found my recon.
Instabuy confirmed.

And I’m calling it now, just like phantom servers will look like new free rotation, when he goes live.

(Alchimi) #56

M1, smoke grenades, infrared, kukri knife, old veteran fighter character…

Instabuy it is for me aswell. Been waiting this merc since I first discovered the game…

(Sorotia) #57

Will have to see what he is like in game some day but right now I kinda have to say meh because I’m looking forward to Phoenix and Stoker to be honest.

(Nord) #58

Not sure if sarcasm since Phantom can be seen easily without infrared vision.

Well, I suppose Redeye was supposed to be Phantom’s counter, but they decided to release Redeye after Phantom…which honestly seems like a bad idea to me.

Sitting on a solid 200k in-game currency, I feel like I don’t need an adult for this purchace, go-go-gadget heatwave-based-vision-enhanchements! Still up’n’good for Stoker whenever that handsome (disputed) teadrinking (presumably) pyrophiliac (undoubtedly) is released.
