What To Buy First In The Shop
Originally, the MLX Mark 4 used to be an average gun as its scope made it difficult to use, but not anymore. Since the most recent update, they removed the scope and it has become one of the best guns in the game.
Your focus should be on unlocking this primary weapon, then you should buy a Smoke Grenade to provide cover when reviving your teammate. If you are a team player then the most helpful perk is Helping Hand, as it will assist your ability in picking up your teammates more quickly. Otherwise, Cloaked is great, especially when a Dallas is on the other team, or even Heaadstrong to give you a bit more health to pick up your teammates even when in a fight.
Abilities
- Active: Send a medical drone to any downed teammate to revive them.
- Passive: When you revive a teammate both your health and theirs will be increased significantly.
How To Use Them
The biggest perk to the drone is that it can revive teammates anywhere on the map, but make sure you remember to use it. It is also helpful for you if the drone completes a revive as it will regenerate some of your own lost health, which is useful if you send it out in the middle of a firefight. His active and passive work hand-in-hand so if you forget to use your ability then this character will be useless in your hands.
Counters Against Them
The biggest counters to Saint is that enemies can either destroy the revive drone or just finish everyone they down. This is where opponents will also equip grenades, or use Dima's active ability, as they can lob them onto downed enemies to finish them or keep the drone from completing a revive. Also, his trip mine has a small radius so unless it is meticulously placed, then chances are it won't damage anyone.
