The Turtle Loadout Impresion

(SaymonCZ) #1

So Turtle is finaly here etc etc. Say what you want about his shield that is not what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is his weapon loadout. While the weapons work okay with the shield in my opinion I dont think they fit the character. And more importantly I think they are on too many mercs now. I was hoping Turtle would bring at least a one new weapon. Somethink old or stylish since he kind of looks like a hipster or whatever so I would expect to be somethink from WW2 maybe. But no. He used the same old smgs. While I think there is not somethink wrong with them. I think they start to be scattered on too many mercs. So basicaly what Im trying to say is that I was hoping for a new gun to play with and I hope that there will be at lest one more added.

I’m completely fine with them, in fact, I find turtles weapon selection to be the best in the game. I can gladly use any of the SMG’s and the secondaries are fine too. And finally, a merc released after redeye WITHOUT the kukri.

Weapons/Loadout seems fine to me. Just wish the Obsidian loadout had the S&W .40 instead of the DE .40

Feels like every Obsid has Deagle lately D:

Yeah. I just can get used to the DE .40. It’s probably a good gun if you can handle it. Nice damage, but it takes up half the screen and it kicks like a mule.

Im just glad they went with full model change on the card not just skins. Hope all obsidians going forward are this way

I wish he has different guns…like I said in another thread…he seems a lot like a more defensive Bushwacker.

Plus I think he shield could use a slightly longer cooldown. :stuck_out_tongue:

Loadouts are OK, though not stunning. His shield however, seems pretty weak to me.

It’s not really weak, it just has so many things that counter it, which makes it difficult to actually use.

Imagine it as basically a med station. It has a lot of counters and is relatively weak by itself, so you have to hide it behind cover. The issue with turtle is the very nature of his shield. It has to be exposed, which puts it at the mercy of these counters.

Faster deploy time, slightly more curvature, and a lot more XP for absorbing shots would make it far better.
