the 1000 characters either kick the crap outta patch/blackhand (mendoza/mobius), or are a lot better against vehicles (raveshaw/syndey).

Ive had rifle soldiers kill me in 3 seconds by aiming at my head, how is patch anyway significantly better?

And when its an officer that does more damage?

He costs too much for a measly 50 strength more over the officer.

I would buy patch/chainlaser if the price was 300-350

Otherwise you aren't playing against good enough people because officers have an easy chance to kill you, and a mendoza will burn you every time.
