What mercs would you pick if you can only use 3 and why?

(AspergerKid) #1

We all know that we have to pick 3 mercs to take with us for a match but what if those 3 are bound to you for the ENTIRE GAME?
You can’t use any other mercs (except you use another Steam account)
Who would you pick and why?

My picks are:
•Skyhammer: my man for destroying EVs with an Airstrike and also because he has Ammo, because there’s always somebody (if not myself) that needs ammo
•Phoenix: How often did it happen that medics ignored me when I needed them even though there was no threat to interrupt them during a revival? Like Phoenix says: if nobody helps him up, he’ll do it himself, also his other medic abilities suit the best for me
•Nader: Because of that Grenade Launcher, nothing more to say…

So what are your picks and why?

Well I usually only use the 3 mercs I’d choose anyways…

  • Sparks is my pick for when my teamates constantly get themselves gibbed and shes the only medic I can bait people with (bring enemy to downed Rhino then revive fatty right next to them).

  • Kira has her super laser of death which I enjoy terrorizing random enemies with. Laser can also be used to get rid of half of the EV health. Also has strong guns and a great personality.

  • Bushwacker is the engineer with the most range. Even though his turret may or may not need a buff, the enemies still die a few even when i plop it and ditch it. Also objective specialist.

  • Phoenix because of his ability to consistently heal on the go and because he is the only medic that can give out health regardless of the game awareness and mental capacity of his teammates. In short, they get healed whether they like it or not they don’t have to pick up anything.

  • Fragger because he’s the best assault Merc in the game (imo). While he’s not the best at taking down EV/objectives he is unmatched in his killing ability. (I get more kills with him than I do with Thunder)

  • Bushwhacker because he has the best weapon selection of all three engineers. Despite his turret needing a buff, he’s effective on his own if played right and you have good aim tracking.

Now that’s a tricky question.

Based off the fact, that I love lone wolfing. The 3 most lone wolf friendly mercs I’d pick would be:

Vassilli: Always loved sharpshooting classes in online games, ain’t nothing changed now.
Skyhammer: Has access to long automatic weapons, especially Timik. And a useful anti EV ability.
Phoenix: Most combat friendly medic in the game.

  1. Sparks so i can heal myself and revive teammates with minimal effort in case they complain i’m useless
  2. Kira so i can spam kawaii
  3. anything with a grandeur so i can be an asshole

Redeye, Stoker, and Sawbonez, can accomplish everything I’d need to with these 3. Redeye can be used in any role except giving ammo, Stoker is my fire support guy, Sawbonez covers needing a solid medic.

(watsyurdeal) #7

Red Eye, Fragger, and Phoneix

I seem to do the most work with these 3

(ImSploosh) #8

Kira, Sparks, and Redeye.

(ThunderZsolt) #9

Thunder (OP), Kira (Fun), Sparks (both OP and fun)
Also this way you cover all roles except objective specialist - but who cares about the objective anyway?

(pumpkinmeerkat) #10
  1. M4
  2. Crotzni
  3. MOA
(BlackboltLW) #11

Arty, Bushwhacker, and Sawbones. My everyday squad.

(JonBongNoJovi) #12

Slots 1 - Bush , I also have a nicotine monkey on my back
2 - Arty , Best i find for EV strikes
3 - (usually filled with mission dependent merc) Otherwise Aura is my prefered medic

(Press E) #13

Aura, Proxy, and Kira. They’re all pretty squishy so it would suck not to have a tank, but they’re already my mains who I have the most playtime with. Might as well keep the mercs I enjoy the most

I asked about MERCS not about Weapons

(blufflord) #15
  1. Sawbones - best merc in game imo
  2. Fragger/stoker/nader/fletcher - which ever explosive merc i feel like
  3. Phantom/proxy - when i want to be annoying and have fun

But usually its sawbones, fragger, phantom

If you don’t include Kira, your opinion doesn’t matter.

Kaaawwaaaaaiiiiii!

(AlbinMatt) #17

I already main Spanish Jesus (Phoenix). He’s rather combat competent​, and his abilities are foolproof, unlike Sawpapa’s medkits that blind noobs refuse to pick up.

After that it’s Kushshagger (Bushwacker) as he’s the first merc I bought. Began to love the Blishlok with him, and really who can refuse the prospect of an aimbot turret covering your objective?

Now I’m torn between Kira and Stoker, both can’t toss ammo packs, but again blind newbies, so my choice is between a glass cannon with acces to an homage to one of Exodus’ stories (pillar of fire), or a gentleman with a knack for overcooking everything. Gordon Ramsay, eat yer heart out!

Slot 1: Nader or Skyhammer - Arty for EV maps
Slot 2: Engineer, mostly Fletcher, never proxy. Ever.
Slot 3: Fragger all day everyday

(Bestfinlandball) #19
  1. Stoker because burning people is fun.
  2. Fragger because Fragger.
  3. Phoenix because hochfir.
(TitaniumRapture) #20
