Very fun mech to play so far. As others have said, pieces fly off regularly from bumping into walls...tripping over light mechs etc.

The heat is omg ridiculous though. I disable a ppc until one gets blown off. 2 shots from both ppc's=timeout until heat comes down. I've found one ppc, and judicious usage of mpls will keep you from hitting the override button too often. Don't forget those ssrm's! I use them every chance I get. First heavy I've ever played since beta and first try on a clan mech, so should be fun.

I love these things ... I wish there was an IS counterpart. The Hellbringer might be a close favorite to me along with the TDR5SS and any Madcat.

Sadly, the IS counterpart to the Hellbringer is the Warhammer. It will never make it in-game until PGI decides to redesign the unseen.

So, buy up the Hellbringer and ask PGI to redesign the unseen (again).

This is the Best mech of Wave 2. You can build it for range type and brawl type.

Just wanna say that the mech in the picture is the Invasion (champion) variant. you can't actually but it for c-bills.
(besides c-bill and exp bonus it's only visual, the arms and (locked) camo)

Dang, the default -A and -B loadouts really skimp on the armor...

actually the prime has extra armor to replace the redundant anti infantry weapons it is suppose to have.

[Kjudoon]

the HBR is the one mech I'd seriously SERIOUSLY consider buying with all my hatred for all things Clan.

It looks like a warhammer, is total clan cheese and a near guaranteed cash machine in the PQs.

Plus I get to tick off every anti lurmer by being an ECM LRM monster.

Now where's my IS version of this?

Two(or was it just one?) tons of APods were replaced with armour.

Perhaps the third went to the ecm.

Thought of some builds :

HBR-B

HBR-A

HBR-Prime
