Will Stoker's Molotov Make People Play Red Eye More?

(SpinnerzNQ) #1

We all know (or at least should know) that Red Eye’s smoke grenade can cancel the molotov flame. Since Red Eye is probably the most underplayed merc, I think that people will play him more often to cancel that out. What do you think ?

Why to use Redeye when you can play Nader or Fletcher because of their short cooldown.

(SpinnerzNQ) #3

Maybe if they feel like sniping, but don’t wanna play Vassili.

Honestly, no

Because explosions work on it too, which makes no fucking damn sense.

I honestly can’t see people playing RedEye specifically to counter molotovs when there are better options to use for a counter.

If RedEye’s thermal sight was more reliable I could see that, but it seems to have a habit of tagging no one even when you’ve shot them like ten times (also they’re a blimp of a Rhino). The other problem is that smoke is kind of harmful to teammates. Even when people are marked it’s hard to hit anyone when you can’t even tell if the tagged guy is behind cover or not. Would be nice if smoke was semi transparent for teammates so they can actually see.

No, you’re more likely to see people playing as Nader and Fletcher to cancel it. Especially Fletcher who can just throw his explosives into the fire and they’re immediately triggered.

Oil well fires are more difficult to extinguish than regular fires due to the enormous fuel supply for the fire. In fighting a fire at a wellhead, typically high explosives, such as dynamite, are used to create a shockwave that pushes the burning fuel and local atmospheric oxygen away from the well. (This is a similar principle to blowing out a candle.) The flame is removed and the fuel can continue to spill out without catching on fire.
