User blog comment:Pygmy Hippo 2/Jungle Jim ('68) vs. Artyom (Metro 2033)/@comment-17814994-20170530135845

Elgb's "Gas Mask Wearing Badasses EDGES!!!

Short: Jungle Jim used a combat knife but you forgot that he also used a machete. Superhuman physicality is one thing but Artyom can throw a knife from a distance as well as use them up close and personal. So he basically has both a range and a melee weapon. EDGE: Artyom

Mid: The .44 magnum is packing more stopping power and can even ignite enemies ablaze, but it still a revovler compared to the M1911 which is a semi-auto. Being able to make enemies on fire is unique, but its still more advantageous to be able to have a faster rate of fire using a quick-relaod from a semi-automatic's magazine. The M1911 also has the larger magazine to keep an opponent pinned down, as well as fire enough bullets till one of em hit, something that you can't do that with a slow revolver. EDGE: Jungle Jim

Long: Easy edge to the classic M16. It basically outguns the Kalash with its more powerful round, rate of fire and range advantage. Artyom's kalash may have a scope and laser sight but those will be useless in the tight leafy confines of the jungle (worse is that the laser sights will give away Artyom's position). EDGE: Jungle Jim

Special: The frag grenades are useful for flushing out enemies but the Helsing has the advantage in range and accuracy. Basically the Winchester rifle vs Pineapple Bomb from Deadliest Warrior Season 2. EDGE: Artyom

Armor: Jungle Jim's burlap sack and armguards are good to fend off a bite from a zombie and a slash from a machete, but Artyom is carrying an actual steel plate to a variety of physcial attacks and a medkit to boot. EDGE: Artyom

Deadliest Warrior?

Although Artyom won three of the five weapons category in this matchup I still give it to Jungle Jim simply because he has the better weapons such as pistols and assault rifles. Artyom was a tough nut during the events of Metro 2033 and he did fought more variety of enemies from different kinds of mutants and crazy psychopaths. But he still suffers from hallucinations which can affect his prowess in battle.

Jungle Jim on the other hand, also faced his share of dark experiences but unlike Artyom he managed to pull through and still retain his physical prowess. He single-handedly fought cunning armies of VCs and NVAs all by himself with no sweat. Both are great stealth users but Jungle Jim is defiantely smarter since he actually plans his fight while Artyom tends to just run and gun. In the end Artyom's gonna be vodka-drinking himself to death after even trying to climb this one hell of a "Jungle Jim".
