imho the biggest thing is "Valerya can join any fireteam" also, Now that scarface has Fireteam: Duo, he can ignore Frenzy while still getting the point discount. and also: AVA 3 pathfinder! + EVO HD + Missile + tons of repeaters and cheap orders i guess that the infamous Nomad GML list changed army.
I think now I need to collect 5th sectorial. Atleast I have pano bots XD After playing around with army builder I want to try this.

Well this was a nice surprise, definitively something I'll keep my eyes on. Nice! Finally a way to put my ABHs to good use.
The Druze spitfire is still useable in Qapu Khalqi just not in the Druze's sectorial, oddly enough. Honestly I kind of question how competitive this sectorial really is. Its not like the Druze will be hard to kill.
My few thoughts: First of all the whole sectorial is built around the Druze or Druze/Brawlers link. They're the only Core fireteam and Bayram players will have to get used to that 4-2 speed ;) It might also get a bit repetitive after a while, though large number of loadouts and flexibility with unit mixing will go a long way to remedy that. Hell, you can build a Druze Core using only one Druze (Druze+Arslan+Brawler+Valerya+Clipper). Brawlers are an interesting case, as they're the utility unit. MSV2 sniper, Doc, Engineer, HRL, and you can mix all that into Druze team or form Haris. This is interesting. Between Hunzakuts, Bashi and Saito there's some capacity for misdirection and underhanded tactics, though not all that much. There's also limited access to Smoke, which together with Saito's specialist loadout and general badassery might make him an autoinclude, while Bashi with their higher AVA and low cost will have to fill the warband/chaff slot. Peacemaker. This drone is a beast, before even taking into account the fact of having access to KHD midfield Repeater. It'll work well with Hunzas. Heavy hitters in form of Peacemaker, TAGs which are basically Superheavy Infantry, Arslan - interesting, but fragile for his points - and out of a left field ABH with Red Fury. All in all an interesting mix. Flexible core, many good options for various roles. I see a lot of potential, though I'm more interested in future PMCs. And now I really want some infantry/remotes fireteams in PanO! Pretty please, CB? :tongueclosed:
The Druze Spitfire was released in April 2014. Three plus years isn't an eternity, but it's not a short time, either. However, I would still use that miniature as a Druze HMG, or even an ABH or something. Given the wording on the Bayram pdf, I suspect that the generic Druze profile will be replaced with that one (except, of course, the MSR loadout, as noted on the pdf).
Right now, there are three distinct Druze profiles in the game. The QK one, the basic Merc one, and the new Bayram one. The new Scarface/Cordelia profile has a new name and logo, and is only in this sectorial. The Anaconda HMG appears to be a universal upgrade that is available in MRRF and the generic merc Anaconda. Saito with Specialist Operative is also unique to this sectorial.
I think over the next couple days, we'll see some changes seep over into the other factions, like Red Fury ABH and the updated Druze, etc.
The bounty hunters are regular in this sectorial with a very cheap red fury option. Its interesting. If any other sectorial deserves infantry + REM links its NCA. They are suppose to be the most high tech Pano sectorial. Make it happen CB.
