Can a certain boat and setup cause the other team to have a Fixer more often?

    Hello All,

    Maybe a strange question, but I see more Fixers with the Unfriends than on my side of the battle. So, I wondered if my choice of ship and setup can influence this? I play Speeder with a Sniper and Swift, Overboost, Nitro, Tesla Bolt (or Tesla Shield), Big and Standard shield and turbo.

    I checked a lot of battles with Fixer and see definately more on the Unfriends side, than on 'my side'. And I understand that the team with a good Fixer have the advantage over the team without one.


    Regards,
    Flint

    I dunno..But I do know that if you've certain type of weapons you don't get certain maps. Like if you've multiple firebombs you won't get chill zone. Like ever.

    I feel like I get thrown into Wayward Pains a lot when I lack tops and carry mortars, but when I stop worrying about it I realize it's mostly random.

    This is not true as far as my experience goes

    No, it IS true. I've tested it over and over again. Whenever I use firebomb spam after I never get chill zone, like ever. The moment I switch ships and weapons like speeder I get chill zone within next 5 matches.

    A team with a good any ship has an advantage over the other team. For some reason everyone is under the impression that the team with the fixer will win most battles, which is not true.

    I've been running 2 Fire Bombs for a few days and getting Chill Zone in regular rotation.

    Officially, I'd say that maps and ships are completely random.

    However, if you want more fixers in your team, try to find a "sweet spot" where many fixers around your infamy are usually online. It's all a roll of the dice anyway hehe

    I think you have a bigger chance of winning with a Fixer on your team. I heard so many people say if you want to climb Infamy fast, use a Fixer. I have not tried it, but that is what I have heard several times.

    I have not invested in good healing gear yet, so that will taken several months in my case to get some decent gear.

    But you are right nonetheless :D

    Maps maybe, but ships I don't think so. But maybe the Devs can enlighten us, although maybe they rather not share, so we cannot abuse the matchmaking. Which would be understandable.

    Statistically, the chances of winning with a fixer on one team and no fixer on the other team are barely over 50%. Of course it won't be exactly 50%, I doubt any of the ships have an exact 50% winrate either.

    I would like to see some data on this to be honest. I think all boats being roughly equal in dps/health/level, the fixer provides by far a real advantage if played correctly. Maybe it's just true at higher levels in nightmare, and I stopped keeping track months ago, but you do have a higher win rate with a healer on your team (1 on yours and none on theirs) than not. When double and triple healers show up, the numbers get muddied, but a single healer on the battlefield provides a solid advantage to your team. Maybe I'll start tracking this again (*opens excel).

    Statistics we're re posposby a Dev in some thread that in too lazy to find.
    Also, basing fixer win rate off of your own personal experiences is not accurate because some ships are good against or with fixers and others are bad with or against fixers.
