Which weapons are more suitable for Fixers?

Fixer is my most played ship on bay lol...
So what i use?
Mostly Used - Napalm
Currently Using - Swift Torp
Events/Rare uses - Standard cannon or Mine

when i hit Mk6 i'll try Napalm and Swift/Mine
You can try Carronade too but for that you need to now the right talent plus you need high lvl Carronade to do some dmg.. (that's the least use item of mine lol)

 

Big Torpedo can be an excellent damage dealer, but I'l agree that it's not great against Speeders — it's better against Shooters/Defenders. Still, you can do quite a bit with it as a Fixer if you manage to get away from any assassins.

 

If you don't use repair box, equip a weapon with that higher angle view like missiles, firebomb or napalm. Other mortars might be an inconvenience to target while your primary job is fixing. We fixers crumble like paper boats with one big torp, so you need a better view of things all around. This is assuming your boat is mk5. With my mk6, I always use one mine to counter advancing speeders. It doesn't always save you but enemies will have one form of distraction when they try to assassin you. As mentioned above, grenades might not be an ideal choice cuz hitting fast moving ships will be too much work. Anyways things depend on your playstyle and inventory but my point is keep atleast one item with high angle view.

 

I'd pass on big torps, personally. There's no point trying to deal huge damage when you're a fixer. But there are two things fixer can or even have to be good at with their weapons. First is self defence against those pesky speeders, so a carronade should be given strong consideration, to say the least.
Second thing is map control. You're not taking part directly in the fight (well, you're not supposed to), which means you can use your weapons differently by denying access to some parts of the map. Personally, I really like napalm when I play fixer, but mines can be good too.
I once thought sniper was a good weapon for a fixer because you need to stay far from harm. And that is indeed an advantage of the sniper. But the thing is : fixer stay *behind*, so I ended up shooting at the back of my teammates a bit too often for my taste. I then switched to missiles, which don't have that drawback and can have a good range (and potentially huge damage at mid-range), but I'm pretty much set on carro+napalm now.

 

I speak in part from experience. I've had a lot of fun using my Big Torpedo on my Fixer.

 

I like to run sniper/flare on my fixer. I can safely strike from afar without putting myself at risk, and mates with cannon perks that boost damage to burning boats can benefit from my flare.

 

CARRONADE! Especially after the update.

 

Fire Bomb. It's long range and gives your teammates a damage boost.

 

Pre-update 4.0, Firebomb was the weapon usually loaded on Fixer, stayed back behind the others and shot off "cover fire".
Post-update 4.0, Firebomb is still weapon of choice, but now augmented with Carronade to deal with unfriends that sneak past the frontline to seek out the Fixer..

 

Unfortunately I have yet to see a Fixer with a FB. Carronade makes a lot of sense for the Assassin Speeders.
