You Can Only Choose One:

#1

Let’s suppose you can only choose one merc and one loadout for that merc in each category. Doesn’t matter if you decide to go with your favorites or go with what you believe to be the most powerful and well-rounded lineup. Post your reasoning below and choose wisely. There’d be no way to reverse this decision. These are the only mercs you can have. Forever. B)

Assault)

  • SM83 Nader. Love that smg-9 on her SM41 and SM83, but if I had to be stuck with one loadout forever this would be it. Favorite primary, my favorite .40 secondary, and the beckhill knife I’m choosing her over Fragger because she is more versatile. Also because she is the best. CR81 is amazing too, but I prefer the more combat oriented augments on SM83.

Support)

  • B81 Arty. I hate myself for not choosing Stoker here and Skydaddy is a classic, but I’ve gotta go with that Arty for the sake of the objective. BR, drilled, same secondary and knife as above, ammo, and another boom-boom augment to wreck the EV.

Medic)

  • 1st Edition CR42 Sawbones. Tough call for me between this and C41 Phoenix. I even play better as Phoenix, but I think Saw is the superior medic and I’d rather be stuck with him forever for that reason.

Engineer)

  • C41 Bushwhacker. This was the hardest decision for me. I love BL21 Fletcher, I am a beast with BL21 Fletcher, and I want to choose BL21 Fletcher, but something in me is telling me no and that Bush would be the more practical choice for the objective in the end. Why did I make this thread? This is pretty depressing to think about being a reality.

Recon)

  • D72 Redeye. Dreiss, drilled, quick draw, focus, high health, smoke for trolling, and a badass 1911 for style points. ‘But that’s not really a recon loadout…’ Exactly, I’m glad we understand each other.

Your turn!

Medic

  • 1st Edition CR42 Sawbones.

As ridiculous as it is, the game revolves around aimpunch, so Focus is a must.

Plus Sawbonez is the best medic in terms of efficient pocketing.

Fire Support

  • 1st Edition S72 Arty.

As mentioned above, Focus is a must. Explody is great, and Tough is nice when you’re going Rambo.

In my opinion, Arty is by far the most efficient at what he does.

Assault

  • 1st Edition M93 Fragger

Starting to get old, but again, Focus is a must. Explody is great, and Sneaky is good for flanking.

Fragger is a key merc in ensuring the team gets the important entry kills, as his Frags are basically a guaranteed entry.

Recon

  • 2nd Edition F82 Aimee

To me, Quick Eye is a must for Snipers. Bomb Squad is good for clearing the field for the team.

I feel the Snitch offers so much in terms of ensuring teammates win their aim duels.

Engineer

I really have no idea, i’ve basically never played an Engineer.

^ meant focus, right? Probably thinking of the toughness perk from CoD which is the same thing. Yeah though, agreed. Wish I had that one in something other than bronze.

People always rave about my CR42, but I think the skin is super ugly. Then again, I do run the most potato graphics… :neutral:

And yea, meant Focus :wink:

(Sorotia) #5

SH56 Javelin. - Call the rocket OP if you want I don’t care, people thought Stoker was so OP when he came out too. I love the gun and the new axe (Hopefully wont take forever to fix it).

383 Sparks - If I had to choose from only one medic it would be her, don’t get me wrong I play every medic but she is really fun to play and if I only had one it would definitely be her.

BL81 Bushwacker - this one was the hardest choice because I like playing him and Fletcher. I like the weapons loadout and the turret buffs come in handy.

R93 Rhino - Honestly I don’t play assault often, usually I just play a support, medic, and engineer. Rhino is here purely for fun…I don’t think I could live without his champagne emote! I enjoy miniguns but I know he isn’t exactly great in this game.

C94 Phantom - I honestly almost never play recon unless I have a mission for one…so if I have pick one I’d go with Phantom…I love the Kek but passed on pass on C41 Bush with C94 Phantom in mind.

I have the same card and I love it.

Anyway.

  • SM41 Nader.
  • SM41 Sawbonez.
  • BL21 Fletcher.
  • M61 Stoker.
  • MO11 Vaseline.

Assault)

  • M91 Fragger. It was between the M91 and the B52 but overall I do better with the M91. Fragger is simply the single most satisfying merc to play for me and he’s the best merc to clean house with in my aggressive playstyle. Fragboi is my #1 and can’t imagine a team without him.

Fire Support)

  • B81 Arty. Easily my favorite fire support in the game. (screw Javelin) He’s got the ammo packs to boot, his strikes MELT the EV, and his BR + drilled combo is nutty. Love me some Arty. Plus his v7-9-3 is the best taunt in the game.

Medic)

  • KE81 Phoenix. Easily best medic for my playstyle. While he’s not the best pocket medic, I personally think his mobile playstyle is better overall plus his ability to give out heals whether your idiot team members want to run over packs or not is invaluable. His recent self-revive buff also just made him that much more viable.

Engineer)

  • SM82 Bushwhacker. I know the SM82 loadout isn’t great, but I love the weapon selection of the loadout so the augments are allowed to be meh. It was a decision between Bushwhacker and Turtle but I like Bush’s playstyle just a bit more with his combination of assault and defense with his turret over Turtle’s much more defensive playstyle. Bushwhacker is #1 for me.

Recon)

  • D72 Redeye. I would have said the G75 loadout before the Grandeur overnerf but alas the Driess is now the better gun. I’m currently doing work with the D45 Redeye but I have to say the D72 has the better augments although if I’m being honest I don’t think augments are really all that important and will make do with pretty much any augment loadout as long as I get the guns I want.

K51 Fragger (1st edition HB)
This one was easy I don’t ever play any other assault

KE81 Phoenix (1st edition ReV; it’s damn sexy on the hochfir okay)
This one was also very easy, Phoenix is my favorite medic and ke81 is his best card IMO, especially after the self revive buff. This makes cool 10 times better

S74 Kira (2nd edition, only card I don’t actually have)
This one was close. I wanted to choose S95 Stoker (1st edition bamboo) because I just love Stoker and the stark, but Kira is up there as well, and I had to have access to the katana.

SM62 Turtle (2nd edition GC)
This was kinda challenging, I love my shard BL32 and bamboo BL33, but nothing makes me feel like I’m on crack more than a Quickdraw/drilled/quickeye combo.

Aaaand F82 Aimee (2nd edition Shard)
This was easy, though I hate to give up my G71 (Swiss) and my G41 Redeye (Gen 1 Fragment)

(Press E) #10

I love smaller fast mercs. Slower mercs usually just bore me to death, and if I’m playing them forever then I’d rather play someone fun. I don’t really play to be good, mostly just to meme around, so no fraggers for me, lol

-CR81 Nader for assault, the card is godly and she’s a lot of fun to play
-S74 Kira for support. She’s a lot of fun, and the S74 is my favourite card on her next to the B84
-BL41 Aura for medic. I already main aura and this is my fav card, so eh. I can use aura the most effectively out of all other medics (I hate sawbonez honestly. I just can’t, lol)
-KE21 Proxy. She’s small and fast, and the hoch is one of my favourite guns.
-As for recon, I honestly don’t know. I hate them all, too boring for me, lol

EDIT: I just remembered phantom is a recon. So, uhh, C94, lol

(Your worst knifemare.) #11

Assault: A92 Rhino. Hes just a big fat salt mine and I suck at the rest of the assaults.
Medic: 172(first gen) Sparps. Mp400 is my favorite of her primaries, double time uses her speed as an advantage, extra supplies gives me more packs for myself and the team, and I just really like stabbing people with a toothpick.
Support: B84 Kiratana with double time. The end.
Recon: CR94 Phantom with undercover makes enemies cry.
Engi: Proxy.

! Just kidding, shes trash. C73(First) Bush needs no turrets but turret spots make him even deadlier than 5 Rhinos.

(henki000) #12

Assault:
Nader - SM41. I think fragger is better, but playing with nader is more fun. I prefer SMG-9 over Hochfir and Crotzni because of the looks.
Support:
Javelin - SH56. Rocket Launcher is nice and this new weapon SHAR-C is something unique.
Medic:
Sparks - 143. I prefer MP-400, but dont really like cricket bat. Augments are good. Probably hardest medic to play in this game when playing in FF off servers. But Revive Gun and sniping is cool.
Engineer:
Proxy - KE12 (gen2). Most iconic character in this game. My all-time favorite and most played merc. I would like to play with hollunds and without cricket bat, but since shotguns doesnt work that well with mines, I have to pass those loadouts.
Recon:
Aimee - F75. This merc has potential to be second proxy in my popular vote. Cool and sexy with that kukri, pretty much useless drone in most maps. When I get on my leet mode, I just pick Aimee and smile alone in my dark room.

(TheStrangerous) #13

Assault: Thunder T72 EXCELLENT RIFLEMAN

Timik is love, Timik is life. Thunder’s the only assault to have one.

Support: Javelin B51 ULTRA RIFLEMAN

I just can’t get enough of RPG.

Medic: Phoenix CR81 COLLABORATIVE OPERATIVE

Phoenix is the most combat capable medic, and very lenient on reckless playstyle.

Engineer: Turtle C52 CHAMPION OPERATIVE

WHAT? Turtle over Fletcher?! Yeah, I prefer Turtle’s primary, plus his shield provides bigger utility and easier objective XP grind.

Recon: Phantom CR54 REVISED OPERATIVE

Yeah, I know he’s not great at the current time of this post, but when I buy a product, I think of longevity and long term investment. I still think he’ll become better eventually, when buffs happen. Snipers are heavily mood dependent mercs, I need consistency.
