Best Defending Operator to Roam

[Neil Young]

What's your opinion for the best defending roamer?
I feel operatives who use up their abilities and then they are only worth their gun.
If they have the speed too, it really designates them as a good roamer.

Imo, I think Jager and Castle are good choices. After they use their abilities during the prep, they can easily roam. Bandit is fast and has a great roamer machine gun.

But I want to know what you think. Are there any good heavy armor defenders that make good roamers? Kapkan? Maybe Rook? Problem is the heavier ones make more noise.

kapkan, frost and pulse are probably the best. kapkan and frost need to set their devices and for the best results the less obvious places. they both have decent armour and weapons. pulse has good weapons and speed, you can just hide somewhere near the objective with the heartbeat sensor and see where people are coming from then pop out of the woodwork and mess people up.

So you would bring armor over speed?
That's interesting.
I'm just trying to get peoples thoughts on what makes a good roaming operator. I'm sure there are a lot of play-styles that favor different operators. I do see a lot of Frost Roamers, which is understandable given she has C4, SHOTGUN OF OP, and good armor.

Do you have any videos to link of them using them? Kinda interested.

I would think pulse would be a roamer just because of his gadget idk. I don't play pulse myself.

Kapkan is great, but a bit to slow and makes too much noise, I don't mind being heavily armored and slow while attacking since I can do it in my own pace.

Frost and other shotguns are amazing for roaming if they are light enough on the right maps, but shotgun dosen't allow you for longer combat. Jeager is great at busting a window and popping up a few good shots before the enemy team gets inside, his carbine isn't bad up close either.


I'd say:

1.Jeager
2.Frost
3.Smoke? The gass grenades and ingram go a long way.

Roaming Rook :drizzle:

Doesn't really have much else to do after handing out armor.

[Glonk]

Let's not forget about Smoke tho.

[ThatGuy]

Doc, if used correctly, can be an amazing roamer.

My favorites are bandit and smoke, Bandits weapon is awesome with a silencer almost imposible to hear and you can give it the acog. Smoke is awesome, especially in close maps where you can roam with a shotgun and the secondary smg, smg for distance and shotgun for short range and to destroy the droppers. You can surprise a lot of players when you destroy the droppers and shoot from above or use them to run at their back at the area below. Also the smoke nades are godlike for delaying advance and conceal your movement once the saw you.

Smoke is who I roam with. gas nades, c4, and two very high ROF weapons: SMG-11, and FMG-9. 2 armor/2speed. perfect roamer. Pulse is also good.
