Why did Vassili got Quick Eye augment in second edition ? It was the whole point of using Aimée to be able to be more agressive like that. Now he can do the same with 110 hp the moa and an mp in secondary and the heartbeat sensor which is more than a very good ability. Why would I use Aimée over him now ? Just for a bit of speed and a little debuff ? Its not worth passing on all what Vas has to offer in comparison now.
Vassili getting quick eye ??!!

I laugh at people using Grandeur Aimée.
I mean wasnt the whole point of Aimée to make a faster sniper with better reaction like that but more fragile ? Why would they give that to Vassili it defeats the purpose now

Aimee’s HP alone is a good enough reason not to use her. DB requires a “peak and hide” playstyle for snipers, and that’s the only playstyle you can have for them, because Smooth and Exedore or whomever don’t know how to counter a Vassili who can jump and shoot (because it’s soooooo hard to counter).
So a sniper needs to tank a few shots in order to take a shot for aggressive play, and Aimee just can’t do that with how fragile she is. Her being able to use Quick Eye isn’t a good enough trade-off to make her pissy little HP tolerable.
Sniper-mains tend to care about KDR a bit more than other classes, so I don’t know why anyone would take her over Vas anyway, unless they’re a girl IRL like myself and wanted to play a female sniper. But even after waiting for months for Aimee’s release, I find her pointless and miserable to use, so I stick with Vas.
I’m very happy he got Quick Eye, it’s a nice little cookie after they completely removed my main playstyle for sniping, and it gives me something new to learn and master.

tbh augments in this game mean nothing so long as you have the skill, quick eye may be helpful but if you’re a good sniper then you dont need it, you can use the default loadouts for aimee or vas and still trump other snipers that have the quick eye augment

As much as i hate to get stomped by good Vasilly players, i gotta say the quick eye agument is something that makes the most sense on a sniper. On the Vaseline vs Amy question, well, Dimitri can use the MOE and Amy cannot. Pretty much end of discussion

hmm the MOA is a nice sniper, although i wouldnt be caught dead with it, it looks like it was put together using bits of scrap from a junkyard

Agreed, Aimee is a horrible sniper.
However, she is great with the grandeur. Her speed makes it relatively easy to strafe and tap a few shots onto the enemy. It’s basically a shotgun that works at all ranges.
I would say the meta weapon for each recon would go as follows
Vassili - MOA / Felix
Redeye - PDP
Aimee - Grandeur

Good use of SNITCH makes up for her health imo, but the amount of out play needed otherwise can be scary.

I think it’s funny how you think that Augments are a way of differentiating the mercs abilities, like a Quick-Eye Augment on a few of Aimee’s Bronze+ loadouts is a comprehensive way to make Aimee different from Vassili.
It’s the abilities and stats that make them different. Vassili’s HB Sensor is a much better ability for watching enemy movement, but Aimee full-on screws it up. If you paint everyone who enters an area with Debilitation, that is going to hinder their ability to advance far more than simply spotting them. Aimee is squishier but faster and has a more specialized utility. Vassili is hardly better in every way.

Still gonna use Aimee, the only sniper she’s weaker against than vas is with the PDP, and a good Vassili uses bolt action. She’s inherently a better counter sniper because of quick eye, giving it to Vassili makes her nearly obsolete, he already has better secondaries, he doesn’t need the good augments too

Only quick eye loadout I saw was with the PDP, I might have missed one, but any with bolt action and quick eye would probably have the s+w

Yeah, the Quick Eye augment has gone to Vassili’s MOA+Tolen MP card, and to his PDP+Tolen MP card. It’s also gone one of Redeye’s PDP+Drilled card, his Dreiss+M9 card, and his Grandeur+De.50 card.
Basically, it’s not at all a Aimee-only perk any more, and so Aimee is no longer the nearly-impossible-to-hit counter sniper that she used to be, since every sniper can do it now. That was always my main reasons to use Aimee (since she was better for taking out enemy snipers, so long as they weren’t using the PDP). But now she’s got nothing going for her (even the snitch is still useless as fuck because of how obvious it is and how it HAS to be in view of the opponents, whereas Vassili can throw his motion sensor behind objects so that the opponents can’t see/shoot it).

Aimee can insta kill any 100hp merc in one bodyshot and mercs with more than 100hp in one headshot if you SNITCH them (if you are smart and use the FEL-IX instead of a useless PDP or a Grandeur which isn’t even a sniper rifle).
Also Aimee receives extra ~20 combat xp for each spotted assist.

Lol, did you really just call the PDP useless? XD
Someone needs to take a look at the competitive meta…
