But seriously…at least give Fletcher the SMG 9 on a loadout card.

In my mind Fletcher is a lot like Sparks in that both have VERY powerful abilities and therefor are given weaker weapons. It’s a balancing act. I don’t think that Fletcher is “crippled” by having the Blishlok as his only SMG. If that were the only primary he could have, then the conversation might be different. Is Sparks “crippled” by having the Empire 9 as her primary(A gun that every other merc has their secondary)?

Oh boy, you just opened Pandoras Box for OP. If Fletcher is totally underbalanced because he hasn’t strongest main-arms, Sparks is totally beyond all help with NO MAIN ARMS!!!

You do realize that there is a difference where the character is limited to secondaries only and the character that is limited to the only SMG that is not reliable.
What’s more, as far as i know, the Blishlok was really superior almost OP some before the nerfs, other characters just switched to different SMG’s, while Fletcher and the Aura i believe, has to either deal with it or take a shotgun.

Are you dyslexic?

Well after getting owned by @Sniff with sticky bombs and letting out groans of frustration on the same teamspeak we are on, I could say that he’s actually very dominant in the game if played by a skill, consistent Fletcher.

But who am I kidding, that 50% effective range buff just made him into a shotgun-wielding sniper with the most flexible explosives in the game AND he can repair/defuse/plant.

Users complaining about Fletcher’s inability to perform just haven’t been giving out enough “gifts”, which even Fletcher himself doesn’t apply a charge fee on. What a great man.

@prudentMan – I think you misunderstood my point. Fletcher’s ability is very strong (in the right hands) just like Sparks. If Fletcher had the KEK and sticky bombs, that’d be completely broken. Or if Aura had her healing station and the M4, that’d be nuts. In order to maintain balance a merc can either have a really strong ability (sticky bombs, revive gun, etc.) OR access to really strong weapons.

Well, enough is enough. I didn’t want to make a negative impression, was wondering about people thoughts on this.
My apologies for a harsh words, i often base my statements against certain people and theirs ideology instead of proving my own, a habit of mine, or the flaw i would say, which might seems offending towards you.
Whatever happens Fletcher is still my favorite Merc in the game, thanks to the versatility he offers and the game style that suits my own preferences. Having shitty SMG’s will not change that.
Thank you for your comments, as i adjusted my game style based on them to move on.
