Why do you like playing with your favorite merc ?

(civilTriangle) #21

My favorite merc is Rhino which is weird because I’m typically the healer out of all my friends. Here’s why.

Rhino has a lot of health, first off. Second, his minigun. It is ridiculous. No matter what, It cuts people down like a lawnmower. Rhino’s minigun is extremely strong, which is good. The downside, you would imagine, is bad accuracy, right? NOPE! If I crouch and burst-fire with it, I will kill people across the map. I’ve killed Vassilis missing headshots against me with my minigun. It is absurd how accurate it is at long-distance. Also, the minigun has no ammo and rarely do I ever overheat it so much that it needs to cooldown and even then I have a shotgun and a pistol. Plus, he’s the first time I ever, in any game, went on a 15-man killstreak. So, yeah, there’s also that.

RIght now (I am still relatively new) I really like Kira. I like playing the support role, and the Stark AR is just awesome. Nothing beats the feeling of getting those headshots, if your aim is on, people die fast! It really fits my playstyle, and it doesn’t hurt that I think Kira is an awesome character (aesthetically and in general) :smiley:

Someone may be able to correct me but I believe that if you like the Stark AR you should switch to the BR-16 which is superior in all ways and inferior in none.

Perhaps for certain players, but I am not one of them. Personally I feel the scope the Stark AR has is worth way more than 3 extra bullets (including any other minute stat increases in general).

But I will make it a point to try an master the BR-16 someday as well :slight_smile:

Sparks
Long range and acrobatic revive, instant health packs, composed and calm personality,her looks and her voice make you feel like she knows something you don’t.

(Ghosthree3) #27

Someone noted that the scope is actually the worst part of the Stark. Apparently it’s extremely off center, it also blocks vision horribly.

Arty: Has some funny dialogues lines, and the more I get used to these artillery strikes the more I enjoy them…

Kira: For some time was my favorite mercs, not sure why, may have been the speed + starck, but since I learned to better headshot the burst fire mod seems not that fun…

Fragger: Dat pew pew mg man.

Sparks: nervous and fast, highly squishy but nice to revive dudes, and it’s allways fun to play medic, ennemy really wants to kill you and team is allways happy you’re around

Nader: These insta kills when a nade lands direct on an ennemy are too sweets not to enjoy… B)

I really want to get my hands on Fletcher (gotta love that “fire in YOUR hole!” lines (even if he seems hard to play), bushwhacker and red eye.

(affableTricycle) #29

Fragger. He kills things very well. He is a complete dork.

Hmm I never tested if the aim was off-center, seems like quite a glaring oversight on SD’s part if that is true. The scopes does obstruct your view (obviously), but that is a tradeoff I am willing to make for now :slight_smile:

Arty is my new favorite merc. Proxy used to be my favorite, but I like how Arty is almost a jack of all trades, where as his ammo helps his team, his air strike can be used to destroy an EV, flush someone out, or get people off a health station in seconds, and it has two with a 20 second cooldown. Like a mix between Fragger, Kira and Skyhammer’s primary ability’s. And the Dreiss AR is amazing.

(FailJertsu) #32

Sparks for them long range revives
Sawbones for being manly (Right after Fletcher ofc)
Proxy just because I like to run around the map and die

(ostmustis) #33

I dont like playing my favorite merc that much since he is too weak. #buffrhino

(Borganism) #34

My two main mercs depend on the situation, but the C41 Bushwhacker (kek10 + lock on) is probably my favourite. Closely followed by a Skyhammer Timik with explodendron. That airstrike is awesome once you get the timing right and hide the marker from the enemy.

I feel that both of these guns have a similar aim and I can generally wreck anyone in a 1v1, and still win most 2v1 if they dont flank me. Both the turret and the airstrike are great for boosting your firepower if needed.

Ive had some great games with fletcher and nader so they tend to be my next two that I choose but I’ll happily swap onto aura if I need a medic.

Fletcha

Well, I love how agile, fast and mobile he is, while he can still be pretty “dangerous” for the enemy.

And that shotgun is just pure shotgunlove

I’m still working on unlocking all the mercs with credits, so doing missions in quick join. My favourite at the moment is Skyhammer. Why?

Because he does fire support, which when defending against an EV can give awesome objective XP,
Because he gives you ammo, which depending on your team’s performance may be a better way of getting support xp than healing and ressing,
Because he kills bad guys, with assult rifles and heavy pistols he has pretty good damage, and
Because he’s just lovel really, scottish accent and funny lines.

For a starting (vanilla) character he’s awesome.

Also “gun füüd” he has it.

Proxy with a cricket bat. All other mercs can suck it.

(KattiValk) #38

Kira is a great ranged Merc. She may die to a sneeze, but it has to be a relatively intense sneeze and honestly, who can beat massively unrealistic directed energy spewing weaponized satellites raining death fire from the sky?

The only thing she’s really bad at is room clearing. No AOE indoors, low HP, and generally medium ranged weaponry do not an effective door kicker make. Still, I’ve got Fragger for that. :tongue:

Plus, it goes well with Japan now finally going back into the business of World Police after far too long being horribly terrified of so much as a single grunt being deployed overseas in a combat role.

(VincentRJaeger) #39

Sawbonez is a top pick for me, he just feels like a nice pal with a very chill attitude. He’s also easier for me to play with the medkits than the station, if only people could stand still briefly for a direct hit!

Fletcher’s also a favorite. Nothing more to add.

I like Vassili honestly. It’s probably just my instinctive interest to sniper rifles, but he’s just so fun to play with. Now if I could aim with the sniper rifle too, that would be also very fun.

Time for the hate train.

Phantom Is my favorite. Has been since I first heard about him, loved him before the crying and will love him after the nerfs. I’ve always, always played a flanking/ambush style even before he came out and Phantom simply falls into line with my playstyle. Although that said i hate the Kek, can’t use the kEK and don’t understand all the praise the damn weapon gets…I want my Crotzni back :frowning:

but alas the Crotz/katana loadout eludes me…RIP. I don’t get that much hate in-game though, which I find surprising. I think it’s because if they start I just switch to something like fragger and keep wrecking them xP, simply for the sake of proving the point then I go back to playing who I want.

Anyway. Yay Phantom.

2nd’s fragger cause I love LMG’s (although it feels weak for some reason)

3rd favorite would be Arty…cause I like big booms and I like using Semi-auto rifles…Got a feeling arty is getting replaced by red eye down the line but we’ll see o_o.
