We have heard from MissMurder that new mercs will be released one by one. Which one do you think will be released next? (mercs pushed back to developing stage not included e.g. sparks, phantom)
Post in comments as to why!
Which merc will be released next?

Nader is the one I’ve heard most people say will be coming next.
Some of those people even apparently heard it from a friend who heard from their brother’s girlfriend, who apparently heard it from MissMurder.

I seriously seriously seriously hope Nader isn’t in the same dumb condition she was in before the game went live on Steam. 6 spammed grenades plus the ability to run in and suicide on somebody made the game so spammy and almost unplayable for me. If she is still the way she was this game will soon go from a skill based shooter to 1/3 to 1/2 teams being naders getting random kills like it was before the Steam launch.
Hopefully she only has two nades like Fragger and they don’t instantly explode if they hit you. Make her good for flushing people out of hidey holes but not something you can spam and get kills with by suiciding.

Since steam she had decreased nade RoF, and max 5 nades. I never understood the complaint regarding martyrdom, you should never be close to nader anyways do to her nading your face with ease.
I’d expect the max nades to be brought down to 4 or sth after even more people complain.
Atm. I’d welcome her back into the game with open arms to bash all those Auras and Proxies

I would have guessed Bushwhacker, as the game kinda lacks Engies with just Proxy in, considering the importance of Sappers in this game
also I haven’t thought that SD would have the cojones to release nader yet, but yeah apparently they proved me wrong, so good on them

Fletcher or Bushwhacker, MissMurder replied to my post

Hoping for Bushwhacker, more variety needed on the engi side and Fletcher is too similar to Proxy (shotgun + explosive traps)

Bushwacker, the game definitely needs an extra engineer on the field to reduce the proxy plague. Although I really hope they will tweak his turret. He’s somehow a light killer due to his turret (before it went useless needless to say) and his pretty good smg.
But realistically, I’d call for Nader coming next. I don’t even know why she was not in the first pool.

I have a friend who is rather terrible at the game who streams and he made a drinking game out of getting random nade kills while also rushing their spawn to die in front of somebody and instantly suicide. Hopefully the suicide mechanic has a very long arming time like Proxy’s mines now. It promotes bad or bored players to rush and try and get suicide kills with the nades + martyrdom and it takes away from a game that is currently more about aim than spam.
I don’t want TF2 demoman. I hate the demoman and it’s mostly what made me stop playing that game outside of playing with some friends. This game doesn’t need a super low skill cap instant kill character in the roster. I was hoping we’d go 6-12 months before she was introduced honestly and I was hoping her nades would basically be a longer range version of Fragger’s and only have 2.

Martyrdom is a creepy incentive to COD players. Really, I hate that perk. If you’re dead, you’re dead. MAAAARGH. F-ing ruin pushes by only hitting a key. Seriously. Following @Amerika, I’d like to know the damage outputs they will put on her grenade launcher. I kinda like the grenade spam, quite hard to face in some occasions, but I’m totally against the fact that it can OS light mercs up to phoenix and herself. I can’t bear people flickshotting with this on close range. That’s what shotguns are for.

a) grenades can be dodged, except in close range
b) you should always run away from Naders in close combat
Sure its easy to get frags against newbies. But Nader scales rather well with the skill levels; except being just a little too spammy
