New Rotation - Fragger, Fletcher, Arty


(Aazhyd) #21

Just about anyone has Fragger, so that’s a bit meh. But I just got a nice loadout for Fletcher, so I’ll definitely try him out. Was thinking about buying Arty too, since he’s cheap. But I hold that till the next rotation.

Good idea not to put Phantom in rotation. Forums would flood with whine posts.


(Potato Potasto) #22

Certainly didn’t predict the no-Phantom rotation but at least every avenue of communication won’t be filled with people whining now. Fragger in his “place” is a good pick.

[quote=“frolicsomeCrane;45796”]Does anyone else apart from me realize that all of these mercs literally counter phantom? Not sure about Arty, but Fragger and Fletcher eat him up.

I personally do great against Phantom as Arty with the Dreiss, hopefully other people have as good of a time with it.


(Ghosthree3) #24

Oh no! Now everyone that doesn’t have him is going to discover the power that is Fragger. I hate chewing through 150 health as a lesser class.

Feel the power of 80’ action movies :I

I feel like this rotation is to show people that Phantom is actually not OP and that you actually need to think your picks when it comes to mercs, and not only that, but add in some more common sense and probably not run after that Phantom that you shot as Aura just because he’s got low hp.[/quote]

If anything I saw more Phantoms eating Fletchers and Fraggers than Fletcher and Fraggers eating phantoms.

Reason ? The armor negates a full grenade, and can negate stickies as well.

I dunno @Eox I haven’t had much trouble fighting phantom. Just go behind them or lead them into traps.

Nah obviously not. Gotta do that double sticky trap with triple salto upon a full moon while chewing bubble gum every day. :]

EDIT : if the stickies are kind enough to trigger, and not just vaporize in thin air, of course.

That Phantom sure got into a sticky situation.

I wonder if that experience will stick with them?

That’s what’s great! Sticky bombs thrown on the ground don’t vanish.

I hope so.
