Merc-build, comeback

Hi,

I haven’t played since January, and if I remember correctly, I played Mercenary back then. I’m planning to come back now and really enjoyed Merc because I play on console. With the new update, how does Mercenary feel with grenades?

I’m thinking of following this build:

I’m still a beginner and looking for something relatively straightforward — easy to build, fun to play, and not something that gets stuck everywhere.

Do you think this build is a good fit for me?

Or this one:
