Has anyone watched yesterdayâs DB Nation Open Cup? Casters didnât favor following Phoenix players, but on those few occasions when they did I noticed that no Phoenix was using a Hochfir card! Most of times I saw them holding Kek and I believe I saw Crotzni in one instance.
I did a bit of googling and based mainly on the reddit DB group I saw that currently recommended loadouts are:
- C41, which offers the best weapon combination (Kek+M9), an âextra suppliesâ perk, which reduces the cooldown of the healing pulse a bit, and a âquick drawâ perk which allows to switch to defibrillator quicker.
- CR43, which offers a good SMG (Crotzni, coupled with M9) and a âget upâ perk (as the only loadout)
Naturally, there are supporters and opponents of all loadouts. CR43 fans say that the âget upâ is an absolute must for a medic class. There is something to that logic, as âbest loadoutsâ for all the other medics have this perk.
Then there are C41 fans who say that if you want to play with Crotzni⌠just play Sawbonez, who has better perks in his Crotzni loadout.
I think that Phoenix loadouts are interesting because there is no absolute best one. There are âbest onesâ for particular playing styles. You want to stress aggressive gameplay more? Go with C41. You want to focus on healing? Some Hochfir loadout is probably the best for you due to its perk combination. You want a good âmiddle choiceâ? The CR43 seems to be the one to choose.
Also - how does one change their avatar on this forum? I canât find the option.
EDIT:
HA! C83 has been used competitively! [^KEK]Raider used it in yesterdayâs cup. Check out the video below and go to 45:50 where you can see him using the loadout (as proven by KEK / bat combo).
I told you it was a good loadout!
