The perks in general need to be way stronger. One of the reasons i’m afraid to spend more money is because there is generally a 2/9 chance I will use what I payed money for. These “situationaly viable.” perks are really just garbage. Cool, melee perks(it’s useful sometimes in unranked, where people get a k/d of 5+ all the time using only their guns!), pineapple juggler (fragger sometimes forgets to cook his grenade!), and quick draw.
I own cobalt loadouts for some mercs and I use the default loadout instead because they at least have a good weapon.
