With Rhino in the free rotation, it seems like an opportune moment to ask this question. You all must have had quite a bit more experience taking out Rhinos as of late, so you’ve probably had the chance to work out who does the job best.
Which merc do you think is best at killing Rhino?
Most Rhinos can be 1-1’d safely as Fragger. But Nader, Fletcher, or the fire supports can do it equally as well to be fair.
Nader her ability has short cooldown, is usable indoors and can be bounced off walls.
Stoaker.
Vasilli, Redeye and Sparks definetly have an easy time killing him, but if he’s camping somewhere, you won’t be able to. Stoaker is an instant removal no strings attached.
Kira works too if there’s absolutely no roofs anywhere.
Nader is sorta iffy because you need 2 grenades to remove the Aura station, and only after that you’ll start to damage his health, plenty of time for him to come around the corner and shoot you in the face.
All mercs in the poll counters Rhino well IMO, except perhaps fletcher as he is a close quarter merc just like Rhino.
There’s no “best counter” : everything depends of the situation. Rhino indoor protecting the first objective in Underground ? Send Nader. Rhino outdoor blocking a path ? Try Arty. Rhino supported by a cluster of Auras camping near a health station ? Call Fragger… Rhino has multiple counters, but those counter won’t be the most efficient in every situations.
Stoker. he’s a hunk of meat on the grill, why wait for the coal?
Stoker due to the Stark and also molotovs that get him and his healing station pretty easily. Any merc with burst weapons in general are great against Rhino if you have any kind of doorway to use against him to strafe out, burst, strafe back (especially if you wait for their gun to spin down or fire too long). Also, Sparks is amazing at killing Rhino as you can use the same hit and run tactics with the Revivr, be faster and use medpacks. But not if he’s sitting in a healing station.
Also, moving this to Merc discussion.
Everybody with good aim I’d say, but a slight avantage to light mercs with accurate weapons : Kira, Aura with Blish, Proxy with Hochfir . . .
Stoker. Let him try to move out of that pool of fire with that big *ss >:)
