Discuss the operators - Sledge

[The3rdWalker 1,268]

This series has been re-created to facilitate the gameplay, metagame, and strategy discussion that often gets buried or lost in the abundance of others posts that flood this sub.

The goal of this series is to not only give new players a primer on an operator, but also for midlevel or competitive players a chance to share the knowledge that they have accrued in their experiences and maybe let people know something that they did not know before.

Today's operator is Sledge.

• Serenity17's Sledge Guide

The community has outlined a couple of things that they want to converse about with every operator, but feel free to branch out should you feel a piece of information warrants its own discussion.

• The operator’s primary or ideal role in the team. (DISCLAIMER: Operators can be played in a number of different ways. There is no single way to play an operator. This is probably the most subjective segment of the discussion series, and hopefully will spark debates or help us learn things we did not know before.)
• The operator’s gadget and how it will help the team achieve its goals. Please share any tidbits you may know to help expand discussion.
• The operator’s loadout, and how best to optimize it. This includes primaries, secondaries, and secondary gadgets.
• What maps and game modes does this operator do well on?
• What maps and game modes does this operator struggle with?
• What teammates synergize well with this operator?
• What opposing operators check or counter this operator?
• What strategies have you adopted while playing this operator? What is something that a new player should know * when playing this operator, or what is something you know that would help a veteran player take that next step?
• What is your overall opinion of this operator? Where would you rank them among the other operators?

He's one of those ops that really has no drawbacks. He can get into any room except for ones that are reinforced without breaching charges, has balanced speed and armor, and has kickass weapons. Not the best operator in every situation but he is one of the most reliably, consistently good ops

• L85 is a solid all rounder AR, smg 11 pocket sniper is deadly, frags, 25 breaches with his hammer, and 2/2 armor/speed. 
• A downside is that he can't sprint with his hammer out and it takes longer to put it away after a swing.
