Buff medic squads with a "pouch slot upgrade" (not overpowered)

Hello comrades!

Individual medics in other squads can be seen as useful. (+1 “assaulter”, medic box for the full squad)

But medic squads themselves are still not useful -

Add pouch slot upgrade to the medic squad!

Adding the pouch slot upgrade to the medic squad would make it worth taking in the squad lineup. It would make this squad similar to the guerilla squad.

Guerilla squad:

  • basically 5 regular assaulters
    Benefits: less gray zone/ picking up enemy weapons with full ammo/ 5x dynamite
    Cons: no specialists, less soldiers

Buffed medic squad:

  • basically 5 regular assaulters
    Benefits: placing medic boxes, healing teammates
    Cons: no specialists, less soldiers

Basically it would make these squads similar usable.

Reminder: this upgrade does only work for medic squads, not medics in other squads!

Make MEDIC SQUADS valuable enough to put them into the squad lineup!

What do you think?

Letting medics have engineers and improving overall ai to prioritise using medic boxes and making medic AI soilders go out of their way to heal allies would be enough to make me put them in my lineup.

I just thought of a realistic buff. Adding pouch slots is simple. Coding a new mechanic may be difficult.

Also, i think free to play players have limited amount of slots, and would benefit from using squads which are able to fight properly.

But if they can do that, i still agree with your idea too.

Yes please they don’t’ have enough ammo for their primaries. They also need engineer inside their squad.

Flametroopers also need ammo bag as their flamethrowers become almost worthless at BR5 with everyone having fully automatic weapons with good accuracy and dmg.

I’d rather have a free medic slot added to any squad.

This is not the point of this post- i am not talking about a medic upgrade, i am talking about a medic squad buff…

It literally replaced Assaulters I.

That’s why I have to disagree with you

I would :

  1. Give the Medic Squad access to 1 Engineer
  2. Remove the Medic Box from the Medic and make it a buildable structure for the Engineer inside the Medic Squad
  3. Move the Syringe Bag away from the bag/pouch slot and place it inside the 2nd Weapon slot instead, just like how the Engineers hammer is in the 2nd weapon slot
  4. Allow Medics to bring either ammo bags or grenade bags

This is one of the most reasonable suggestions I’ve seen about medic to this date.
I do see some flaws tho, but I really like it.

Either way. So many of us have offered suggestions since they released them 2 years ago. I’m so sad nothing has been done yet. It seems like they have no intention or plans for this class whatsoever.

like the event one from muricans in halloween?

I ment more like how the m55 reising squad is composed, as the event squad only has 1 medic
