Phantom melee weapons

Why does he not have a cricket bat?
Or
He sounds American (does to me) If he is? Shouldn’t he have had a baseball bat loadout/s

Every merc has 3 melee options: Beckhill, Stiletto, Kukri/bat/katana.
The Katana just fits his theme of ninja that’s all.

My question rather is, since one of his abillity is to have katana, why his 3 options aren’t well… Katana, Katana and Katana…

And if that wouldn’t really be right, why doesn’t he have Katana, Beckhill (or better Kukri) and Bat…

He’s not a ninja or themed as one. He’s an ex-military guy who stole a suit. Yup, I just LORED you :slight_smile:

I get that every merc has three types of melee weapons throughout their loadouts but the Beckhill & Stiletto dont suit him well IMO
Would it not have been better to have given him the katana and the cricket bat plus another longer type of melee weapon lets say a baseball bat (metal one)
As these would suit his melee playstyle better & would give him more loadouts to choose from other than C94.

He runs faster with the Combat Knife and Stiletto, that’s reason enough for me to use them.

This is a real Signature.

You do realise that Cricket is England’s national sport? Just because a bat, doesn’t mean it’s American.

Edit: just saw the sarcasm indicator

The fact that Phantom had the time of day to grab a katana is surprising. I’d expect Fragger and other game-loving (or making) characters to use katanas too, just to make them appear slightly like nerds or the like.

  1. Why do so many mercs have the Beckhill as a default? Because it’s the most normal melee weapon.

  2. Why the Stilnotto Stiletto that is Aimee’s and Vasilli’s default more RMB dependant melee weapon? Because SD decided to not keep signature melee weapons to their unique mercs once they designed the loadout system

  3. Why do so many have the cricket bat that is Proxy’s default? Because they needed it to fill the quota of 3 melee weapons for loadout cards because the Katana and Kukri were still being worked on, along with not raising that many eyebrows since the characters are in england after all.

  4. Why not Baseball bats? See 3.

No one else with a Katana yet almost every merc except Phoenix, since Red Eye has had the Kukri…

Wouldn’t it have been cool to throw a concussion grenade around a corner then being a crazy russian, charging at the concussed with a Katana?!? :stuck_out_tongue:
