As many people here know, medic is the second weakest class in the game. There is very little reason to pick a medic over a radio guy or an engineer in your squad. They are not a versatile class because they have low amount of skill points, there is no way to give them a large ammo pouch or a secondary weapon or more grenades. These slots will always stay locked:
My suggestion would be to unlock all the bottom inventory slots (or at least 2 more slots for a total of 3) by default so they can carry 3 to 4 bandages. Because right now it doesn’t make sense to play medic, you will never see one in BR 4-5 matches. It would also make sense because afterall you are a medic, you carry this backpack full of medical gear but you can only heal yourself 1 time, maybe drop your medical box and heal up to full but after that you are done, it doesn’t recharge and you can’t pick it back up.
Why? Just use assaulters, medics are not supposed to be strong.
Also, you have a medic box, why out of all options would you want more medkits? More grenades or ammo I could understand but medkits …
You see this is the problem. “just use assaulter”. This is the wrong mindset and thats why nobody uses the medic, its essentially an useless class right now. If he gets downed once, uses his only bandage and he is out with no way to have more from the start. He can not have more grenades because its not a “grenadier” or cant have more ammo because the slot is already occupied. Only thing logical is to have more medkits. Afterall its a medic with no way to heal himself more than once.
They should also give them 3 grenades if you equip smoke grenades
Medics are basically what Assaulter I used to be. They’re not going to be in High BR as Guerilla II and Assaulter III/IV are the higher tier of them.
If we got an actual Medic II/III and they got more skills then they’d see higher level play.
“just use assaulters” is kinda the problem. Medics should be stronger
But why? Explain why medic should be better
Especially since, they have relatively high perk points. When specifically talking about the medic squad then I guess, give them an engineer at least, but explain why medics themselves should get a boost
Because providing health to the team is actually very nice to have, and the fact that nobody uses medic squads at all should be more than enough reason why they need to be better
Alright but how is extra grenades going to help achieve that goal?
Look, i am not an opponent of a creative new wat of buffing the medic, but making them more like regular assaulters does not really achieve this goal in my opinion.
I think it does considering they replaced assaulter 1 in the first place for whatever reason.
Because they are so close to useless that they are rare at low BR and almost non-existent at high BR. What’s the point of a soldier class that limited?
So, accourding to you, medics are just assaulters? In that case they dont need a buff because their just the weakest assaulters. Play assaulters instead of asking for a buff.
Again, I repeat, if you buff them as assaulters, then whats the point? if you buff their medic squad and their medic abilities I would agree with you, that would be nice. But buffing their assaulter capabilities is usseless, then just play assaulters.
