Re: Who do you think the new metas going to be?
Are they changing anything to Cpt. Deadbeard? If not, he's still too powerful especially on big maps (turf takeover) or maps with lots of open areas.
On defense, his parrot missiles and barrel blast can hold a point really well. Both moves are pretty much instant kills.
On attack, sniping and parrot missiles provide superior support.
- Just activate the parrot, aim (even from afar), and shoot the missiles. Once the missiles start flying, leave the parrot and resume sniping.
Have Critical Blow and Incoming Keg as the upgrades and you can rinse repeat, almost guaranteeing the top vanquish spot.
Cpt Deadbeard can get the parrot ability in less than 30 seconds and much sooner with Critical Blow.
Any enemy that comes close to Cpt Deadbeard and he can jump in the barrel, chase after them (and he's faster than them with incoming keg) and get the kill. It's also useful for running away really fast.
Over 150 hours in multiplayer and the top vanquishers I see are usually Deadbeard or Scientist.
