Whatcho lookin for our of your support operator? Which ones have you played?

Zubr is pretty awesome honestly. His ability turns him into a immobile gun turret for a short time. In that time, he takes a TON less damage and even HEALS on every kill he makes. Throw in the fact that his gun hits like an absolute TRAIN results in one mean ass operator. My experience is limited to the PVE side of the game, so idk how well being immobile works in a PVP setting, but yeah.... one other down side is his gun has an ASSLOAD of recoil.

Kit is pretty solid. His gun is a breeze and its quite powerful and accurate. His ability gives him a shield and can rez a downed ally in it's AoE. He also comes with land mines which are stupid powerful.

Stern is pretty decent. He is geared out like a typical "Heavy", LMG, Rocket launcher, a personal shield and he can even use that shield on an ally to boost his Rate of fire for a short time, so theres a little flexibility there

Matador is good as well, he has deployable shield walls, great for several spots in PVE and his ability is a literal aim bot, you press Q and you just point and shoot for 7 seconds.

Bourbon is aight only cuz his gun decent. The rest of his kit I cant lie, its a little lacking. His Grenade launcher is a joke, his ability gives a momentary stun, basically the same effect you get from shooting an AI in the head. But Bourbon is slow as a beached whale and his stamina drains faster than an obese geriatric in a 5k run.

Hagana is fun if you like deployables. Shes kinda squishy, having less health than other supports, but she can deploy a gun turret that covers targets in it's arc. She also has fire grenades, great short term area denial devices.

Odin comes with a large radius root skill that also amplifies damage against affected targets. Odin also gets like 6 HE rockets. Though my experience with him is sorely limited.

Ive seen people say Bishop is amazing but I personally dont see it....his gun hits like a wet noodle and the recoil is really wack..

Sputnik , Drops a drone that assists with locating enemy's and his gun is great at not only killing but suppressing enemy's while your team gets into position.

Pve : Hagana : has turret .
Kit : can revive .
Pvp :Bishop : can disable enemy skills.
Matador : Aimbot.
Fortress : p2w :)

Sputniks gun recoil pattern is awful. That horizontal recoil pattern is oooooof. PLus his basically 7 second reload. Good luck when ♥♥♥♥ hits the fan, reloading that thing, and it hurts even more since his mag is only 75, instead of 100. It actually doesnt even make sense that its so long.

Other players might disagree with me, but if you trust your medic, ammo reserves let you reduce the reload on belt feds. 50 rounds back into the gun. I know a lot of players prefer to run armor, but for slow reload guns, 3 seconds to get a machine gun up and running can get you through most firefights.

I agree with previous posters.
Zubr is great.
Bishop is good if you're fine with controlling recoil.
Sputnik is a support I always bring ammo reserves with and I do well with him.
Matador is absolutely insane in PvE under the right circumstances.
Once leveled up Kit is a good all rounder support. His flag being able to revive can seriously save your team if you get unlucky or your medic sucks.

And since you're new, Almaz was updated a few weeks ago and he is far better than he used to be. His shield ability can soak up an absurd amount of damage compared to other characters. Don't treat him like a tank though. You want to move cover to cover and still minimize your exposure. However, his shield will mitigate damage when an enemy slips through your teammates. His hipfire is oddly accurate too when you tap fire his gun.

Matador is solid. His m60 gun does 22 damage which is very high compared to other support's damage and low recoil. His ability is basically aim bot. For a few seconds any enemy inside of a large circle that appears your gun will aim at all you have to do is hold down the trigger and mow them all down in a few seconds. Works best with large groups of enemies. Also he has deployable cover which works really well in a pinch or of you need to stabilize your gun but you have no cover to use your bipod you can always use your deployavbles to sit behind. Very solid all round operator.

Matador's damage value is a little bit of a lie. His gun actually doesnt hit that hard. Between only have 50% Armor Piercing and having quite bad damage fall off, his gun is actually pretty short range. You try shooting at any real long range and youll notice the damage is ass.

Armor Piercing meaning, you only deal 50% of your damage against targets with armor. Throw in your damage fall off value and yeah.....some guns can hit like real wet noodles in a hurry.

if we talking about the gun
Kit , Zubr , Odin is the best gun to use

[Nullifidian]

Zubr for pve. He has 3 armor, high hp, good weapon with high armor penetration, has smokes, his Q heals him, reduce damage & destroy covers.

[TheTrainStation]

Unlock slugs for Yingzhou, and snipe everyone. Also, the grenade launcher is insane.

[Alekero]

If you skilled in shooting (which seems like most Caliber's players cant do) take Kit.
He has great gun for offense (you can land headshots easily and snap on ez af too), and pretty much stuff for defense (mines can stop entire team rush in PvPvE or be placed in crucial places in PvP).
His ability can res, so if your medic is ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up (which happens a lot) you can res and provide suppressive fire at the same time. And if your medic is ok - use it for shield and boost your teammates def.
Kit 1v1 outshoots every support (maybe xept Almaz due to his ability) here so...Or maybe its just me...idk but you definitely should try him!

But Bourbon is the operator that needs to be nerfed over and over again lol.....

If the level of his absolute trash doesnt turn you off from him completely until you get the slugs. They put slugs at like lvl 13. That means 13 levels of the most useless ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ gun ive ever had the misfortune of using. I had the +RoF skill on that guy and couldnt out shotgun the shotgun AI with him.....they walk up and b-b-b-bam....while Ying's gun is coochie.....chick chick...coochie.....and then im dead.......god, griding that ♥♥♥♥ bag was the most painful grind ive experienced in this game.

Clearly haven't used Miguel yet then? Yingzhou's shotgun does 83x1 damage at a range of 30m and has 60% armour penetration. Miguel's shotgun does 12x1 damage at a range of 20m and has 20% armour penetration.

Sounds like a skill issue. :')
