Remove Stark from Thunder

(Supersneaky) #1

As title says, he’s a 170hp merc with a pinpoint no dmg drop off laser.

Itll balance him back from being too op, he could use k121, mk42 and timik which fits his roll of being a closeup assault merc.

I’d honestly he rather have the k-121 too instead of the Stark.

@SaulWolfden YES PLEASE.

Although I would love K121 on Thunder, I don’t want to lose the stark too

(Supersneaky) #5

The stark doesn’t really suit to thunders play style tbh

(Orivar) #6

I want the BR instead of the Timik.

I can’t see them giving one of the “pure Assault” mercs access to 1 burst, 1 lmg and 1 AR, and not the other, so most probably Stark is going to stay with Thunder (if anything, BR-16 and Stark switched between him and Fragger). However they should be addressing issues with burst-rifles overall in my opinion instead of start fiddling with who can access and what weapon.

Afaik LMG’s of Fragger and Thunder were switched at some point during time before Open Beta. K121 was Thunder’s and Mk46 Fragger’s “defining” weapon originally, I think they still hold those respectively in Barracks’s large merc pictures instead of what they can equip in-game atm. That is a switch I wouldn’t mind to see. Who knows, perhaps we could see it someday, maybe it’s being tried out in Private Testing as we speak.

Stark and Thunder is by far the strongest combo. If anyone claims he is better with the Timik or the MK46, they simply can’t aim the Stark. There’s no argument about it. The Stark is easily the strongest gun in the game right now along with the BR-16.

MK46 is more fun though.

(terminal) #10

nah

(CBRN) #11

I prefer MK46

(Herr_Hanz) #12

MK46 is so much fun but its not such a good gun.

(Supersneaky) #13

My reason for this post is mainly the stark itself, its an extremely op weapon in the right hands and giving it to a 170hp merc is just crazy, its pinpoint jumping and ads making good players using thunder just ridiculous.

The k121 is a strong gun and makes more sense over the stark being a large magazine weapon for taking out concussed/flashed enemies.

(neverplayseriou) #14

@terminal do you even play this game…?

(frostyvampire) #15

Yes please.
I don’t even like burst fire, I hate playing both, with them and against them, I don’t use AUG on Thunder but I might use K-121 if he gets it. All the S## cards should be changed to K## (without giving you the option to decide if you wanna keep the AUG or switch to K-121, it will just change itself when the update comes)

Occasionally

@bontsa sorry for braking your dreams… there wont be any weapon switching, because some people paid for some items, imagine buying cat and that cat becomes a dog, i know there is rng wall between buying items but still…

(bontsa) #18

Naah, ain’t a dream, its ridiculously unlikely to happen yes but that’s the only thing I could ever imagine being changed if any weapon changes were made. Not as the OP suggests of giving multiple primaries of same weapon type to a class which is already made clearly in mind of having 3 very different choices.

(hoyes) #19

its fine. they are going to change the burst rifles anyway. you also have to take into consideration that he is very slow so you cant miss and if you are playing a fater merc (proxy)you can dodge his bullets.

(Ohsnapkline) #20

Sry but is Disagree fully that the stark has anything to do with how over-tuned Thunder is atm, his grenade needs adjusted because it does not matter what he hits you with, when your concussed your gonna die.
