Well, the idea that you always can change approach, sometimes you not necessary have to kill raiders, but harass them, so they don't feel comfortable while working towards their objective (I'm not saying it works perfectly, but it works fine for me so far). But I agree with you that in this regards wardogs have a huge disadvantage since they can't change their approach.

Also playing antagonist more skill based mode than raiders (where it's more team-based). By skill I'm not necessary mean aiming and shooting, but more decision-making, when and how to approach and when disengage, more "tactical" stuff. But if you face team with same level of "skill" then you more likely screwed (unless both you and enemy team are really low level, which make it somewhat random).

Yes, we do. And we'll be revealing it really soon. The wait is almost over!

wow, really? damn, I seriously expected the other bonus characters to arrive at season 2 and 3. I feel like with Kunzmann and Ginebra this game will have a really good character pool.

also, why engineers enemies hold some ammo but no weapon. 

Alicia quite annoying, I can see it, but think about it:
Hans have 140 hp, Alicia 100 hp, which means:
1) it easier to down Alicia than Hans.
2) When Hans down you, he still can approach you with jetpack, while Alicia have to approach on foot (and hovering not give her any speed boost), given the fact that Hans have both speed and decent HP-bar means little bit you can do once he downed you, you can't shoot him back, you can't resist in melee, due to melee mechanics.
In order to hover Alicia have to double-tap her ability and need proper environment, what requried at least some positioning and awarness, Hans can hover instantly at any given time as he desires.
Alicia make 40 damage with her shotgun, and you need to aim; No need to aim as Hans, just shoot the ground (damn, you can do it even on a gamepad) and you have 50-60 damage (60 damage, you can literally one-shot Harec). Both guns have same rate of fire and fairly comparable clip-size.
Alicia can't manage her adrenalin, she can't ambush you, she can't surprise you (unless you lack of awareness), she can't adapt and change strategy, she's one trick pony, that is the whole point of the character, she's annoying, but really predictable. Needless to say that Hans still have adrenalin managment even though he don't really need it that often.
Hans is straight forward broken, it's frustrating to face him both as raider and as antagonist, he's straight forward replace Alicia by any means.

I can only talk about weapon I've used or saw people using it:
Alicia 2nd shotgun: you said on your own
Harec Aura Mortis: yes, you can charge it up to 400%, but it took way to long to even start to charge, when original one start to charge almost instantly. In a PvP situation you very often don't have time to aim for ages, so yeah, having a little charge than having none at all. Having no stress is a very little buff also, since people still can follow your bullet tracer anyway I believe.
Konstantin Shtorm BV: it have really good fire power, agree, but it overheated very-very fast (also you can't shoot when you overheated as you mentioned already). So with this gun Konstantin lose a lot of his "supressive" ability, as well as decreased his minion clearing ability (not sure on that one though).

Well, there is still many things to try out, but what I see a lot of people very early jump to conclusions without even trying stuff before judge it. "I heard something, looks op on the paper" is not an argument.

most of them not better though, but diffirent, all of started weapons quite viable (not sure about Shae though, I haven't used her new weapons and I don't like her started weapon (or I don't like Shae in general, idk)).
