turtle curiosity

(cristian-most) #1

Turtle the gun can be the BR16 as this and felix rifle are the only two that do not come by default and great doubt has a tattoo of red eyes

(inscrutableShow) #2

I doubt they will give an engineer assault rifles. His art on the Dirty Bomb website has him holding the Kek-10, so maybe he’ll be equipped like Bushwhacker. I’m hoping the BR will go to Javelin.

Im at a loss to what will provide Turtle xp.

Can he deploy and recover multiple shields simultaneously?

He might be interesting. But the he may also be a real pain, or a real bore.

(Dawnlazy) #4

It would make sense based on the fact that his ability cannot be used to kill, so he gets better primaries instead.

He’ll probably be another all-SMG merc, though I would love to see an engineer with more diverse weapons. If he has the KEK, and only SMGs, his 3 possible weapon selections would be: KEK/SMG-9/Hochfir; KEK/Blish/Hochfir; and KEK/SMG-9/Crotzni. My money’s on the third. We have 5 SMGs, and the rest of the possible groupings are taken by 5 all-SMG mercs.

I think Turtle will have the BR-16, Crotzni, and Renbaug 7 (however it’s spelled). BR-16 as nobody has this as their default and he needs a high power weapon to make up for the fact his shield won’t do much to hurt or kill people. No Engineer currently has the Crotzni. He had that particular shotgun in the scrubs trailer, it wouldn’t be out of place for him to have a shotgun in general I think. He’ll only have pistols for secondaries I’d imagine though or maybe a tolen if he’s lucky.

@SaulWolfden he might have crotzini but AR’s are for assaults and fire supports, ignore e3 trailer, there was kira with blishlok that was shooting like smg9,

but i hope he will have ar’s because he needs that fire power

(Supersneaky) #8

If turtles shield is big enough it’ll be effective, imagine you’re holding down the c4 on trains first obj for eg, you’re on the mg and a turtle runs in drops his shield and diffuses the c4, you can’t hurt him behind the shield anymore.

(frostyvampire) #9

By his artworks he has a KEK-10. Also he used a Remburg in the scrubs trailer
I assume that KEK-10 will be his default gun and you will be able to switch to the Blishlok or Remburg with a loadout card. I would definitely play him if I can get a shotgun for him

also it shows bushwhacker holding an m4 so dont depend on it
some youtuber said that turtle gonna get burst rifles
i hope he will not
i wanna see turtle with smgs

(PleasantWheat) #11

@copperCucumber Why? He’d be underpowered with just smgs. He needs to have a rifle so he can have the same kill potential as the rest of the engis, except fletcher because fletcher

Bushwhacker is also holding a Kek on the website.

I’d like to see Turtle with the SMG-9 as his best weapon. Every merc that CAN use the SMG-9 always has either the Crotzni or the KEK as one of their other weapons, so there’s never any point to use the SMG-9. For once I’d like to see this gun get some action as the favoured loadout for a merc.

Even if it’s just by giving the best augments and sidearm to one of the SMG-9 loadouts for Turtle, and leaving his KEK/Crotzni loadouts with less useful augments.

(Equanimity) #14

I love me some SMG-9.

I also would love it if turtle had the Annuhld. It’s such a great weapon.

(869wizard) #15

I think it would be pretty cool if he had some sort of unique weapon. After all he is a pretty unique guy.

(BananaSlug) #16

@ProfPlump soo if you love smg 9 soo much use it :wink:
nader has best cards with smg9 for example

NO MORE SHOTGUNS IN THIS GAME!!!

First of all, Nader’s best cards aren’t with the SMG-9. Her best Crotzni card has Bigger Blast, Quick Eye (which is actually really helpful for the Crotzni) and Failsafe, while her best SMG-9 has Bigger Blast, Unshakeable and Springy. So essentiall you’re weighing up the benefits of having Unshakeable and Springy and a worse gun, or having Quick Eye and Failsafe and a better gun. Since Unshakeable is down to 15% now, and since Fragger’s been nerfed so hard recently, the augment isn’t as valuable as it used to be. Having that extra DPS is far more beneficial against most team set ups (although, in Pub matches where there are 8 players per team, explosives resistance IS more important).

Second, I’m not saying I “love” the SMG-9 - the Crotzni IS better. I’m just saying that it’d be nice for the SMG-9 to see some action, since it’s a gun that never gets picked in competitive matches (and for the most part doesn’t get picked in pubs either). For the same kinds of reasons, I’d like to see buffs to the LMGs because they never get picked (Fragger’s take the M4 or BR-16, and Thunder takes the Stark) and it’d just be more interesting to see more weapon variety in competitive play.

I’d rather the Annuhld go to a female merc, I’d personally prefer he get the Renbaug or whatever it’s called.

@ProfPlump b…but how smg 9 is worse smg :worried:

you lose 6dps for less recoil and spread

i also dont think that quick eye is that usefull
grenade blast radius is small soo bigger blast dosent give you that much and fail safe is even more useless because you dont use lactic in cqc

my favorite card has smg 9 quick draw, and drilled and (dont remember 3rd perk)
quick draw fits my play style perfectly, shoot, shoot grenade (probably direct hit) shoot and repeat

but if you hate smg 9 soo much why would you want to use it? :smiley:
