How to play Mack in Rogue Company

Loadout

Mack'due south weapon and gear options are very straightforward. He starts the match with the Warrant, an average sidearm. For his first primary he has access to the Confidence, one of Rogue Company's ii LMGs. This cumbersome weapon hits hard and has a massive magazine, letting you lay downwards suppressing fire for days — although y'all would then need to reload for days too, as this gun tops up ammo very slowly. For a more than mobile, in-your-face approach, Mack tin can forego the Conviction for the Objection, a devastating but inaccurate SMG.

Mack'southward melee weapon is the second and near likely last sword nosotros will ever get in Rogue Company. The Claymore behaves like any other melee weapon when thrown, but hits differently in close range. While its swing speed is slightly slower than the other melee weapons in the game, it deals fifty harm per hit rather than 40 earlier upgrades. That means that on average information technology can drop full-wellness rogues with one less hit than it would commonly take.

Abilities

Mack's passive ability is Standard Effect: he starts the game with a 25 point torso armor, which is an upgrade any other Rogue Company operator would ordinarily accept to spend coin on. Not but that, only Mack's body armor is instantly repaired when he downs an enemy rogue, making him an incredible duelist.

His active ability is Lightbomb, which is a massive primed flashbang that could catch the entire enemy team if aimed well. This power has the potential to turn games all by itself, stopping ambitious pushes expressionless in their tracks, or letting Mack's team breach an enemy-controlled objective and clean house.

Strengths

Because of his combination of perks, abilities, and items, Mack can be played in any office in Rogue Visitor, but he is more geared towards assailment. If you desire to take advantage of his kill-based abilities, accept Berserker, Furnish, and a Grenade. In the later rounds, you tin can also purchase Stalker and the Claymore. With this combination, Mack can lead aggressive pushes and trade effectively against any composition of enemy rogues. Only make certain y'all are communicating with your team when you lot play this version of Mack, otherwise, they won't exist able to capitalize on your aggressive tactics.

If you want to play Mack defensively, accept Resupply, a Grenade, an Active Protection Organization, and the Confidence. With this combination of items, you can guard objectives without fright, and allow your teammates flank and pick off enemies. Don't concur off on using your gadgets, but save your Lightbomb for emergencies, as it can be a gamechanger.

If y'all are using the Confidence LMG in any case, the Replenish and Berserker perks are highly recommended, every bit this weapon takes forever to reload.
