His passive mud damage resistance, his amazing speed and stamina, 11 perk points, hip fire damage increase in case of close combat, Amphibious makes him faster and he is almost always mudded, also he seems to take less damage from plasma shots (might be a glitch but I’ve been hit 3 times in a row with zero damage)…Dutch '87 is the MVP in this game.
Best damage: assault deadly with bane.
Best sniper: recon sniper with bane.
Best overall: Dutch '87 with Bane, Amphibious or Fanatic.
