    Go with whatever nice epic / rare you have levelled up and perked.
    Personally I like to use Big Torps as can dish out serious damage, and you have a fair chance when last one remaining.
    If not then a decent blast cannon / explosive cannon can do nicely too, or some go for more of a supporter role with napalm, fire bomb or flare gun.

    I have swift torp and napalm (switched between them). They both are good for mk5 fixer.

    not a fixer but if I have a teammate that uses a fixer, I prefer them to have a Big torp. It compensates for the reduced damage output of our team(cause you know mk5 fixer has only 1 wep). Huge burst damage when it hits. You dont have to shoot it all the time like other low cooldown, low damage weapons. Just release the torpedo then resume to your healing.

    You want something that does decent damage with a long cooldown, so you don’t need to flip between targets too often. Railgun is always a nasty surprise on a fixer. The problem with Railgun and Big Torp is that if you get left in a 1v1 it can be really hard to win. I would suggest going with either Sniper, for the versatility and the chance to shoot early and crit, or go with flare for bigger damage, team damage, and to help yourself out with stars.

    The best weapon fr fixer - it's the best evolved weapon what u have.
    I play with sniper... it's comfort weapon in any situation ... but u shot be good at aimed ...
    Don't suggest any torp... U should stay behind team ... it's mean 80% your torps will be caught by teammates.
    Railgun ok > moreover in Buz. tree u can find additional talents for speed and HP > profit.

    I swap between a swift torp (t3e) and a carronade (t4e). Both have there advantages.
    I disagree with the don’t use torp as a fixer as you don’t really have to aim just roughly point and let go just a torp passing close by causes panic. There will always be a gap between ships for them for you to fire from the back.
    Also torp your team mates when a speeder is around they will likely get hit by the splash damage.
    Currently carronade is my favourite. Really catches pesky speeders by surprise that one. I have started seeing more fixers using them too. I have also hunted and killed the enemy fixers when they get to close. It’s like a damaging frost that can’t be removed. 70% speed reduction and 30% turret slow while being hit at up to 1k every 5.6 seconds.
    But if you see a defender slowly drifting towards you run!! Your not going to be able to tickle that to death.

    Am a mk5 fixer,
    Been switching between Blast/explosive and Mines for now. There isn't the "best" for fixer. It depends on your style of play with luck on the map that you get..

    Mines to "fence" your teammates up against any speeder or other boats rushing to you guys.

    Blast or explosive for self defence lol.

    Might go for the railgun/napalm/missile with blast/mines when I'm mk6 though, one long range, another short range

    Sniper all the way, in my opinion. A flare won't do anything to discourage a flanking Speeder from diving in for an attack; an 1100-damage crit often results in that same ship deciding to regroup with his teammates instead.

    No Railgun/sniper for fixer,I would rather have my fixer Protecting (healing)me than busy aiming unfriends like a Nub.That just Irks me

    After the carronade buff i will definately recommend it,As it is effective against their worst enemy aka. Speeder.Other wise naplam is the beast!!

    I’m a big fan of napalm with my Fixer. Use it to block off routes on the map, or isolate an enemy from the pack then call them out and have you’re team pick them off. Recently I’ve become a big fan of Grenades. Aiming takes a little to get use to but it’s a great close range weapon, with a chance to burn.

    Napalm. As an MK5 you won't rly be doing heavy duty damage due to 1 weapon, maximising support can greatly help with contribution.

    Swift Torp all the way! Well, at least that’s what I use.

    Quick cooldown and fast projectiles. Goes right through Tesla Shields and makes Speeders freak out once you get two or three hits on them.

    Did I also mention how easy it is to hit someone with a Swift Torp?

    That's more a mindset problem than an equipment problem, as a fixer you'll aways have to choose between shoot or heal and with railgun you'll have less of these choosing moments because of its cooldown.

    Your team always need support, but support not only healing... if u can add damage to the focused target- do it! More alpha damage strike = more chance to kill. There are many situations with static play in setup 2 fixers + 3 another type boat vs same setup... where healing = damage ... and no one can’t kill nobody... in this situations need damage with focus , not heal.
    Sniper crit or railgun it’s perfect alpha strike for burst and kill
