Being a man down is always gonna suck, but Cortez bros is a nice feature to help out with this. I am thankful for it.
Even though they rarely kill anything, it’s nice that they aren’t a liability for you lives and can take enemy Agro for a short time.
That being said, having a cortez bro on your team is a huge drawback for the fact that it’s one less person to complete objectives. It’s very hard for an undermanned squad to kill everything and complete objectives in higher difficulty matches.
Example: I just played a match ‘In Medias Res’ at 65% and the game gave me 3 cortez bros. I couldn’t make it to the second barrier with the encoder because there were just too many enemies for me to kill and then try to pick up the encoder.
I think since we can now start matches with Cortez in our team, maybe look into solutions to Help them carry their weight.
You could simply buff their attack or health, or maybe even decrease match difficulty by a flat % value for each Cortez present.
