The Mysterious 6th group of mercs.

(TheStrangerous) #1

There are Engineers, Offence, Fire Support, Medics, and Recons.

I did wonder, if that’s all there could ever be, regarding merc categories. Perhaps DB is missing the “6th element” of mercs.

Any ideas what could it be?

A tortoise? SD never mentioned tortoise :wink:

Maybe a saboteur class that counters abilities. Stuff like EMPs, disabling use of abilities, anti-airsupport devices, hacking the alignment of deploayables, etc. Phantom would definitely be more fitting here, he doesn’t really belong in a spotting class full of snipers.

There’s is a 6th merc category of course.

It’s called “pointess” and it contains only Phantom. :]

This isn’t Overwatch or whatever though. I don’t think 4 mercs just dedicated to annoying people would fit this game at all.

I doubt we will get a 6th category. There’s only so much you can add to this game in terms of mercs before it either gets extremely repetitive (Note aimee, another sniper that was added when there was absolutely no need for one), or completely changing how the game actually plays, which I don’t think the devs really want to do after all the balancing they’ve done.

But Aimee’s SNITCH is offensive as opposed to Vassili’s HB Sensor that is supportive.

Well, I dont know about a 6th category, but they will definitely add new mercs. Would have prefered to only get a 4th engineer and thats it, though.

I just hope they don’t go too far and make a bunch of redundant mercs that pretty much serve the same purpose. Imagine if they left Javelin as just another explosive spammer with a rocket launcher. There’s absolutely no need for a merc like that, but I’m worried SD would add them anyways for the sake of content.

I don’t mind at all if they add a completely new merc as long as they aren’t too insane compared to the rest of the game, but I’d rather not have a slightly different sniper or slightly different explosive spammer.

I’m finding Phantom to be absurdly more useful than I realized in ranked these days… healing station rhinos and proxy spam on bridge has become nothing but stupidity against the might of my EMP and aim.

Would throw you a disagree, but Phantom is in a weird category of his own. Just wouldn’t label it pointless.

Honestly I wish there were more non-sniper mercs in recon. True Phantom doesn’t fit the rest of the recon mercs, but that doesn’t mean he can’t play like a recon class. Someone who stays hidden, can watch the enemy team and pick off deployables/lone mercs with ease
