Which operators should I purchase?

[Sc00rD!N4tU]

Hello everyone,

I have been playing this game for a while (about 50h) and collected a decent amount of Renown credits. I already have (almost) all operators till Dokkaebi/Vigil but from those on, they're all locked. Since each one cost a considerable amount of credits (from 15.000 to 25.000), which operators should I buy first?

Thank you for your attention

Alibi is a solid operator imo.

There's a lot of good operators to choose from but what does your playstyle usually involve?

[Nevu]

ATK - Zofia, Maverick, Nomad

DEF - Kaid, Maestro(very powerful!)

some i thought of real quick

[Toucan]

Mozzie, kaid, zofia, kali. These operators are really good.

Thank you all for your answers!

I did buy the game recently with the 2 year pack so I already have some of the operators you mentioned.

As for my playstyle, I try to adapt to the situation: careful attacker but occasionally willing to rush if the attack is sloppy; usually an anchor in defense, but sometimes I do roam when everyone else is locked tight.

As I said, I just have about 55 hours in game and as a rookie I still have to figure out which playstyle is best for me :D

If you like anchoring, then Maestro is a great op for you. He's essentially one of the best anchors in the game - AMAZING gun on defense, great gadget. Though I have to warn you, you'll spend most of your time being on your cams, since you want to use them to provide intel for your team, ping enemies and take out thermite charges.

If you like roaming, then Mozzie is amazing for that as well. Great loadout(will be losing the secondary shotgun, though), and one of the very best defense gadgets. Being able to drone as a defender can be quite powerful. You can use these drones passively or actively, though I prefer to use them passively - place them in hidden location such as on top of shelves and what not on the bombsites, so my team can use these cameras in case they need to retake.

If you solo queue often, then these videos can help you out. Guy explains his choices pretty well and what not -

I'd definitely recommend Zofia, Dokkaebi, Maverick (although, he's being banned quite a lot at Copper V - Gold I), Vigil, Kaid (strong on maps like Oregon), Wamai (in case Jäger gets banned..), Mozzie, Oryx.

Not really

Zofia I think is a good attacker to start with, and I think lesion is a good defender to start with, hope it helps

Bronze I - Silver IV here, I barely see Maverick bans. Most of the time it's: Jackal, Dokkaebi, Cav and either Echo or Clash.

That's strange.. I do see Maverick being banned 24/7 on maps like Chalet, Oregon, Villa, Canal, Club House, Coastline..

Personally I used to play mozzie but then I switched to ela
Her gun isn't that crazy in terms of recoil but it is also sort of a laser so yeah she is pretty good if you like knowing where the enemies are.

Wouldn't Lesion be a better choice in your case? The Gu mines aren't so easy to spot, whereas the Grizmot mines are easy to spot.
What's more, Lesion has much more accurate gun, and more mines than Ela has.

Of course, both mines do work differently - Ela basically make enemy's aim a bit screwed, whereas Gu does basically nothing, since the nerf.

Lesion has more utility with the gu mines which is his main advantage other than having a gun that's easier to control. Ela's advantage is being a 3 speed, but her stun mines can also backfire if you stand too close. Although Lesion would definitely be more efficient at dealing with shields than Ela.

Think Lesion would be a better choice as stated above since you're more likely to help your team than having enemies triggering the stuns too close for comfort to you and your teammates.
