Ah, the AF-19 Mercenary, the first weapon i ARXed. Even despite having the 19-A Fortuna, i go back to this beautiful carbine that was right by my side since my beggining as an NC soldier up to this day, now BR 117 engineer main. Kinda teaches you that, no matter how many people you meet, there will always be that friend that was with you since the start of your journey.
Just remember, you get this gun for free when you sign up for the NC and the Vanu have to shell out certs for the Pulsar C to be on par with you. I think that the Mercenary is the best default weapon in the game.
Believe it or not, I heard it in the edit and thought completely nothing of it! Thought it was also just some random thing from my PC outside of a video file
Directive weapons are hard because I don't own them all, and there was a series where I was doing that but then ran out of content because I stopped unlocking the weapons. Would make for a great series though!
@@CAMIKAZE78 Yea it definitely would be hard. Maybe talking on discord with some people to gather opinions from people who own the weapons. Nevertheless, love your vids, they helped me a ton. :)
I rarely play NC, even though I love the Mercenary and the Gauss Saw... I'd really love to hear your thoughts on the NSX Tanto. I think it's one if the easiest weapons in the game, while still having a lot of potential in the hands of a skilled player
Could definitely look at the Tanto soon, it's a weapon I don't consider to be anything special, but maybe some more time with it will change my mind :)
Quartermaster's Overview will be returning soon, but the weaponry of choice is based on community vote after ever video so make sure you get involved with the selection process when it does go live :)
Whenever I am having a hard time killing anything as a light assault, I often find myself going back to the Mercenary for its healthy rate of fire for its damage. I find it to be quite forgiving and great for both CQB and mid range. It make it far more versatile than the Razor GD-23 which I've been trying to use lately for longer range engagements. I guess exchanging DPS and predictable recoil for only 20-ish% greater bullet velocity and might just not work for me. I love the reload on it though. But I digress, if there is any gun to resort to as an NC light assault, I don't often think of anything other than the ol' faithful Mercenary.
Still think Planetside 2 needs a return of BFR's >,.,> Sidenote, whats that implant you are using with the medical + with all the smaller + symbols next to it? Can't seem to find in my list p,.,q
I just *have* to ask those two things: 1) How does - in your opinion - the Fortuna compare to the Mercenary? Stat-wise they are pretty similar, after all. 2) Why do most of your enemies seem so incompetent? I get that you are cutting together particularly good clips, but gosh, I've been in similar situations as well, and I was dead pretty quickly unless I picked on people who were absolutely alone. The others *always* look at where the shots are coming from, even if they are already under fire, meanwhile your opponents more often than not seem oblivious to your presence. :D
I have said a few times that there is no way this type of kill streak could be done like that on the EU servers, the players left are so attuned that you even get second guessed before you try. Anyone lower than br80 are just farmed by the upper players, and im br70!!.
Need more argument to join the resistance! We got a gun for you! Our buddies at Auraxis Firearms have made us a gun that just fits you, new recruits! We love the AF-19 that we gave it a name to mirror those we hire for our corper....err...Freedom Fighting! It's light, cheap, and an easy tool to coer...use...that the Auraxis Firearms 19 "Mercenary," sits well with our New Merc......uh....Recruits Against Oppression! Now go spend your Bonus Checks on some of our other guns when you can!
hey :( I'm a good NC engineer, I don't shoot my teammates! ...often. hey, that Light Assault thought it was smart to drop down on my bullets..not my fault. on a serious note, I still haven't figured out the range for this thing. But I've bounced around to all 3 factions, not figured out any of them yet, really. the horizontal bouncing recoil is annoying, on engineer and LA both
I see you're using the punisher secondary for light assault. Now is the time to abandon your skirmishers and use Icarus so you can cross a hex in a matter of seconds
I have another idea for a cinematic How about we focus on NC mercenaries And paid corporate army. And the music should be all eye on you by smash into pieces
Lmao, not really, It depends on the person. When starting my NC character, I felt the weapons were meh, but when starting my TR character I was all "these speak to me on a personal level" and I actually performed better. My buddy, however, hates most TR and NC weapons and loves his Vanu stuff. The Vanu definitely have my favorite starting LMG, tho.
I personally prefer the Mercenary over the Fortuna. I personally feel like the Fortuna isn't that much worth, since it's just Mercenary with a few attachments plus UB Shotgun. If you ask me, I think the UB should be modificable to be either shotgun, HE, smoke, impulse or repair grenades so it's a mercenary on steroids
So fortuna wise ,advance laser,softpoint ammo and the under barrel shotgun which can OHK to my knowledge ; All of which are gauss compact S attachments on the merc's profile
I dont like the mercenary because its a starting weapon. It smells like cert poverty and frustration, and u gonna be stuck with it for a while as a beginner player, geting outranged by other weapons, and outrofed by others.

"running out of the stuff that makes it deadly, ammo"
*Confused in Engineer*
One thing is certain, the Mercenary won’t let you down
Mate it is just the definition of dependable, isn't it?

2:09 That windows notification sound got me.
Believe it or not, I heard it in the edit and thought completely nothing of it! Thought it was also just some random thing from my PC outside of a video file
hahaha every time someone mentions the GD-7F it reminds me of Day[9] scream
NC 2x gang I need a damn telescope to use the 1x dots
If only it was simple red dot 2x , I'd love it.
Another great video!!!
I have watched tons of your content and just noticed i'm not subbed. Apologies subbed and liked. Keep up the good content brother
In the future, could there possibly be a series that goes over all directive weapons for each faction? would be pretty neat.
Directive weapons are hard because I don't own them all, and there was a series where I was doing that but then ran out of content because I stopped unlocking the weapons. Would make for a great series though!

Love the Merc. One of my favorite weapons in game
It's just a beast isn't it mate? Cheers for the comment bossman!
A great weapon for new recruits.

IMHO, it's a hipfire monster.
Any chance of a Quartermaster's overview for NC shotguns?
Quartermaster's Overview will be returning soon, but the weaponry of choice is based on community vote after ever video so make sure you get involved with the selection process when it does go live :)
As far as I am concerned there is only one default Carbine and it’s name is the Solstice VE3
There are default weapons for every faction. You are vanu and thats the default for your faction
@@s3_555 all that is not under Vanu's light is a lie. Therefore there is only one default Carbine. Praise Papa Vanu!
The mercenary is the ‘Not as good as the Bandit’ out of ten
Spicey opinion, could make for an awesome comparison video later down the line.
@@CAMIKAZE78 oh God if thats a spicy take I’m gonna piss off so many ppl when I make a vid of what I think are the best guns on the NC
Cami practising Light Assault for speedrunners this weekend. ;)
No idea what you are talking about ;)
NC weapons are best known for there reliability at all ranges.
Personal opinion: MGR weapon series is the best choice for all classes.
If you still hear this, i hope you review AC-X11.

Also
I did see some NC use the mercenary and held a rock for so long im pretty sure they rolled harassers out at him
Cami, can you do a review for TR's MG-H1 Watchman？
it also the last one multi-barrel rifle series haven't been review, im very curious about it
Still think Planetside 2 needs a return of BFR's >,.,>
Sidenote, whats that implant you are using with the medical + with all the smaller + symbols next to it? Can't seem to find in my list p,.,q
Cheers!
12:07 That was painfull to watch!
Not my proudest moment, let's put it that way...

One really YUMMY gun ! :D

I auraxed the Razor though. My reason? I liked that it had a butt stock. The look of the model goes far for me.
Nanoweave armour or ASC?
Vanu directives don't ever have this problem, and they have in built attachments, and are more accurate
NC can get on the wrong side of the barrel, too. I wonder why?
Live free in the NC.
Wait a minute the trac 5 has a ttk of .48 at 10 meters, the mercenary has it a 0.5. Shouldn’t NC have a faster ttk
hey :( I'm a good NC engineer, I don't shoot my teammates!
...often. hey, that Light Assault thought it was smart to drop down on my bullets..not my fault.

Wish I had the pc to play 30 fps on planetside
there is 0 islikes on this video. PERFECT
I have another idea for a cinematic
How about we focus on NC mercenaries
And paid corporate army.
And the music should be all eye on you by smash into pieces
So, everything on the planet belongs to NS according to logos here and there. Why do we fight each other then?
NC weapons just feel so much better then the other factions, its a shame. Lazers though...
Lmao, not really, It depends on the person.
When starting my NC character, I felt the weapons were meh, but when starting my TR character I was all "these speak to me on a personal level" and I actually performed better. My buddy, however, hates most TR and NC weapons and loves his Vanu stuff.

Auraxis jesus? u mean papa vanu?
is it still worth getting into this game? looks kinda old
I heard that there’s a really toxic AU outfit lead that just pulls kobalt busses in biolabs :(
Planeside 2 is an amazing game
Does 9 years count as NPE or a near crippling addiction? Asking for a friend
It looks old, but the gameplay is still very nice looking, especially when you get all three factions in one spot
@@SarGra13 you need better friends
haha GD-7F go BRRRRRT

just play engie 4head
Mercenary better than gd-7f idc what anyone says
