New free-to-play FPS: Dirty Bomb

[borgasm]

bastard, I only got a silver skyhammer.

It all depends on what the augments and weapons are on the card really. and if you actually have, and like playing with the merc u have the card for.

Dat sweet cobalts

I got a Silver Sawbonez

[Gubben]

still not sure how to use the cards, think it was for aura or sawbones cant remember... am loving this game though... havent been on ql all week

When you choose what 3 mercs you are going to use for the match, it will give you the option of choosing which loadout card you want to use. That then decides which weapons and special skills you have available in game. I have cards for Aura that give me either an SMG or shotgun as my main weapon. That changes the play style of the character a fair bit. Shotgun is for close range, whereas I can use the SMG at medium range.
For Skyhammer and Fragger, the M4A1 is pretty high powered so even though I have a bronze fragger, I tend to use my iron loadout that has the M4A1 as I can kill easier with it.
If you want help decoding the cards im sure we can help, just take a screen grab of your loadouts page in the barracks.

Seems like there might still be some free Fragger merc codes to be given away on this site.

ahh, I think I got him in the Steam starter pack already. I'm also pretty sure I bought Nader with the credits I got from that starter pack as well. Her and my Gold Arty are regulars on my team, currently I cycle the 3rd between Bushwacker and Sawbonez depending on if the team needs a medic or to defend something (<3 that turret).

I tend to main Bushwhacker and Skyhammer. I'll buy the deplyables bundle once he goes off free rotation. gives me proxy too. Saving up my credits for Nader and then I think im happy until some new mercs show up.

Once you know where and how to use skyhammers artillery strike you go from maybe 1 kill to getting 5 kills each time.

[INKoRP]

Yeah I know...

Arty's a bit harder as those few seconds I need to paint the Strike area can sometimes be costly if there's a vigilant Vassili about. I'd go Skyhammer as well but my Arty's got a red gun... the damage outputs not bad as well even if the fire rate is up to me, it's not bad at long rage though which is good for cocky Vassili's thinking they're out of range.

[borgasm]

my 'highest' card is a silver. Im never lucky with random drops in computer games.
The only thing I dont like about Arty is how picky the spotting recticle is. If you are trying to drop a quick strike on the EV while its moving it can be hard. If you target the EV directly it goes red and fails.

[INKoRP]

yeah I end up mostly using it as a blocker more then an attack

[borgasm]

New merc rotation coming up soon, Nader, Sparks and Proxy.

[INKoRP]

Suhweet, been saving my Cr for Sparks, be good to have a trial, seen cunce using her gun like a sniper to good effect

- Running then Ctrl + Jump will allow you to long jump -
- Multiple people repairing do not stack. - so many don't get this
