This guy is delusional and has no understanding of the game, don't even bother talking to him.
More like "I'm the only sane person in a madhouse". Empire has consistently been the worst faction since 2020 except for that one time the Recruit had the Pugio, and the fact that people keep insisting that they and Sturgia should suck while Vlandia remains the best at everything has me wondering...
Is bullying the two worst factions in the game not enough for you? Do you somehow have to work for your wins as the strongest faction in the game thanks to your inconsequential downsides? Fret not, for the finest scholars in Vlandia are working on a weapon that's said to be smaller and lighter than the Arbalest, but has the strength of ten ballistae! Enter the...
PMC Trooper
Cost: 69 (Can quadruple spawn in Skirmish!)
Captain Mode model count: 20
Health: 70
Armor: 24
Base weapons:
Pugio
M16A4 - 3 round burst, 50 ranged blunt damage per shot
30 round STANAG Magazine (3)
30 round STANAG Magazine (3)
Perk 1:
Riot Shield - exchanges one of your magazine pouches with a ballistic shield. Lightweight and insanely durable. Because of its polymer construction, it also does not receive bonus damage from axes
Luxury Gambeson - Bulletproof isn't stabproof. Replaces your BDU with a gambeson, providing +15% resistance against cut and blunt melee attacks
One-handed Falx - replaces Pugio with pre-nerf Falx. Two-handed by default but can be one-handed with a shield
Perk 2:
Hand Cannon - Replaces m16 with Desert Eagle XIX (75 blunt per shot, faster reload). Replaces both stacks of STANAG mags with .50 AE magazines (5 mags per stack)
Extra body armor - +30 health, legs and arms take 20% less ranged damage
Magazine-fed LMG - Replaces M16 with M249. Magazines are upsize to 60 round STANAG, although you can only carry two per stack
New mechanic: modern weapons
Rumors of the handgonne have spread across Calradia, and of course Vlandia would be armed with these new and innovative murder tools. Press the change stance button to reload your weapon but beware: reloading a modern weapon will discard all ammunition in your magazine, so keep a good count on the ammo currently loaded in your gun before discarding it all!
There, now the best faction in the game is even more unstoppable since every unit that's not the PMC Trooper will be a free kill for Vlandia
