Why fixers should use frost blaster

You get really nice rewards and it really helps your team land far range shots with weapons that have slow travel speeds. Such as torpedoes, flare guns, mortars, explosive cannons and more. Also helps your team land shots on those annoying speeders!

Note: I am barely starting to try out the fixer, I do not claim to be good at it but this has worked for me!

 

You are a worthless fixer not worthy of giving advise. First off you carry duct tape, second you don't do any healing and frankly I believe that the only heals points you provide are to yourself while you run around pretending you're a shooter.

Apparently you missed the memo on what a fixer does. "Shaking my head in disbelief"

 

Uhh I agree that he clearly focuses on getting stars over healing his team,

HOWEVER running duct tape is VERY viable, and a lot of high level players run it too, because staying alive longer means healing your team longer.

 

Arguably you don't need dutch tape untill you hit 3000. I had no problems staying alive until then. And even now, my main problems are speeders targeting from behind and I doubt dutch tape would help me as much as the box helps me and my mates.

I am really looking forward to have enough base speed to run the bolt though. As it is, without OB I am the slowest of the bunch and I feel useless.


But yeah, frost gets you stars.

 

Frankly, your current setup is extremely appalling. I would think from all your time here you'd know the basics at least. Also, those kind of item levels aren't suitable for that infamy, you're a liability to the team so I wouldn't be surprised if people thought you were a low key infamy dropper. I wouldn't be happy if you showed up in my team with that setup tbh.

Anywho, to be helpful to a potential new fixer my current thoughts:
Your priorities are mixed up it seems, as a fixer you have to take a support perspective; your team comes first. Images show how very little heals you have, while heavily prioritising damage with that torpedo. Remember, you're not a shooter, you'll never be able to output any damage worth sacrificing a fellow shooter that you could have healed as a fixer. Well, at least until you start getting 2 weapon slots.

Regarding your loadout:

• Torpedo is good, support and long range keeps you away from enemy as you should be. If you want stars, just use a fire bomb honestly.
• Frost blaster might help contribute your stars but I'd recommend Overboost in the end. It's invaluable for escaping and quickly reaching team mates for heals, although some fixers use a Tesla Bolt if they feel fast enough and works pretty well.
• Heal item levels too low for that range; level it up asap. I don't even want to get started on that Duct Tape...you effectively cut out another source of heal for your team mates just for yourself. If you need healing, learn how to throw a box. If you really insist, wait until MK5 at least so you can have another healing item but I'd still be against it in favour of the box/bolt
• Turbo is good but that bandage, how much self healing did you plan for yourself lol. Put on a shield instead.

Again, fixers are primarily support so remember that when trying it out.

 

Duct tape fixers playing offensive is an actual play style I heard.

Undoubtly frowned upon yes but never the less it is an actual style and I don't think we should flame players for using it.

If we wanna flame somebody, flame rovio for giving us the duct tape.

As for you @Joeyaa, if you are going to run a self healing offensive fixer, lose the box and focus on all duct tapes and bandages.

You'll be like a defender, except less hp, more speed, agility and turret agility and more unlikable. When you reach mk5, you can get a blast, explosive and tesla bolt combo and be a better defender than defender lol.

Also, you can use turbo, rudder instead of bandages and play it like an assassin speeder, A speeder with speed, agility AND tons of self heal, I'd totally wanna try that out (Make sure the turbo and rudder are like really high levels though, like tier 5 rares or tier 4 epics)

 

It's not viable on any fixer that has only 2 green slots... don't even think about duct tape before mk5

As for the topic:

I've seen high level fixers with frost blaster before (I saw @Bennunator doing well with it in a video somewhere I think), but below 3k infamy, definitely go with overboost. You can't heal anyone if you can't reach them, and you can't reach them if you can't move faster than them. Perfect battles rarely happen. Teammates will spread out, and sometimes damaged teammates will move away from you. Not being able to get to them when you're the only fixer can cost you the match.

Yes, frost blaster may give you more stars from freeze contribution. But being less effective for personal gain isn't really a nice thing to do, and your infamy will reflect it.

 

Even tho the setup of fixer if good i don't recommend frost blaster, when you fast boats in your team you need to run around fixing them
AND if you wanna slow down sneaking speeders use a carronade i guess.Duct tape if i m not wrong is only used by mk6 fixers with double pulse. I personally hate duct tape users (no hatred directed towards you tho)

 

I've been using a frost blaster for about two weeks now, I found the OB wasn't enough since it's nerf and I am able to get to the team fast enough. Now saying this I don't recommend everyone use it, I have a MK5 fixer and play around 3.5-3.8 infamy range where the frost helps more than my OB that was useless

 

I am using duct tape because all my healing items are low, even had to buy the uncommon duct tape to fill the green slots. I was dying very fast when I tried bolt and an uncommon box wasn't doing much so I went with tape. Maybe question someone before you just attack them like that? Do you think I would use a tier 1 uncommon item because I wanted to?

 

If duct tape is keeping you at that infamy then keep it up I wish I was up there

 

The whole point of this thread is a solution to all the threads you see that people make about fixers not getting the rewards they deserve. This was a way to get more stars that has worked for me. I'm working on fixer right now before I take it into mk5. Planning on using double pulse once I get some decent leveled repair pulses

 

Maybe I'll upgrade to mk5 one I get some rare bolts because it will take a long time to find 5 more repair pulses. I'll try out pulse bolt tape

 

Can you guys just undo the need on the repair pulse? Also take duct tape out of the game and allow those who own it to trade it for a green item if the same level.

 

Explain why. I'd love to hear

 

This FIXERS made my day , hahahaha . .
