Which merc should I buy next?


(SiegeFace) #1

Hey guys, I have 4 mercs left to purchase with hard earned credits, not sure which one to choose :wink: have 60k credits in the dirty bank and have the need to spend them!

Not sure if Rhino/Bushwhacker would be a good choice seeing as they are on free rotation right now but added them in anyway as I will still buy them eventually or if you guys provide a good enough reason for me to purchase them right away ; )

Bushwacker is by far the best of the lot and also fun to play. Kira is OK, Phantom sucks and Rhino, well you have to like being the slowest man on the field in a fast game as this.

Rhino has a time and a place in this game, but he isn’t really all that. Phantom is kinda crap unless in the hands of someone who has mastered him, same could be said about Kira, in the hands of a skilled player she is really good, but since new update she is possibly the worst one on this list. Bushwacker is pretty fun to play, and one of the ‘go to’ mercs for competitive. I would say go for bushwacker, but they haven’t nerfed him to the ground yet like the other mercs, so his time will come… :confused: save it for when a merc get’s fixed IMO

Bushwhacker is a great objective specialist to use, particularly if you’re defending. He’s definitely my top choice here.

Rhino has his moments, but he shined a lot more before Stoker came along to ruin the Rhino/Aura camp parties.

Kira looks like she could be a lot of fun, but you better enjoy the burst fire rifles.

Everyone knows Phantom is no good for serious play, but if you want to have an amusing time pub stomping he’s your guy.

This was really a toss up between Rhino and Bush, but I went with Bush for two reasons. One, Engineers are almost always useful (the exception being objectives requiring delivery). Two, Rhino requires good support. You don’t have someone healing him he’s going to get overwhelmed and fast.

Do you like whacking bushes? Because if yes, the answer is self-evident.

I still haven’t decided, I have now tried Kira (as she was the only one I haven’t played yet) in the free rotation, and I don’t like her that much either…

Bushwhacker would be more useful, but I’m burning out over being the only guy playing objectives at the moment, thinking about becoming a lemming like everyone else as that appears to be the cool thing to do (game rage is real xD)

I might wait for the next merc instead and almost have enough credits to buy two mercs now so yeah…

Thanks for the responses guys, its all about that bush it seems xD.

Get Phantom, but sure to play a lot with him. He is not like the rest of the mercs. (Don’t give up on him!! He may be hard to handle at first…)

I’m great at Kira, but not everyone is. I’d say to save it up for when you get comfortable.
