I'm looking to round out my trio of Hellbringer builds with something a little different from the usual laser vomit but find myself completely stumped.

Here's are the builds for the other Hellbringers:

HBR-A

HBR-B

Anyone got some weird builds to share?

[0bsidion]

This is a build I've been using that works pretty decent for me:
HBR-Prime

While it might not seem to be an impressive amount of firepower, it is very sustainable and heat manageable, so it's more of an endurance fighter than anything. Like most of my builds, it's got options to engage at long, medium, and short range.

I run an alternate to that build that uses a UAC10 instead of LBX. Heat can be more of an issue with that one though, but TC will buff the UAC10s crit chance. You can also drop the LRM15 to a 10 for more ammo for the autocannon.

That PPC one is pretty much the best way to run it.

Weird formatting for the link but it works.

Nice multipurpose build too.

You can Lurm with it. 2-3 CLRM15s with energy back ups.

I'd put everything in the torsos, strip the arms and add more heatsinks/ammo.

EDIT: I don't harvy smurfy's up now but there are quite a few builds.

7ML
Gauss - 5ML
LPL - 5ML
UAC10 - 7SPL

Oh boy, that 2UAC10 build really caught my eye but I don't know anymore.

Would you build it like this? I like the idea but ammo feels so limited.

[Brizna]

If you strip the arms' armor down to 1 and some of the legs (sorry got no smurfy link for it) you can make an excellent ECM+Gauss+2ERLL, ECM+high hardpoints make it the best clan long range sniper in the game, the IS has longer range mechs but none of them have more firepower AND ECM. A perfect mech to open with while defending boreal.

You caught it before I fixed it, but thanks. I have a lot of luck with LBXs, maybe I just need the shot gun effect because my aim isn't always that great. I find they work well for me against lights and damaged opponents.

I'm enjoying double ultras since the recent buffs, but the last time I tried it on a HBR was before they were instated. The results weren't too great, but now I'm sure it would be much improved. I'll have to give it another shot.

You're better off with a single UAC10 instead of 2xUAC5

Each to their own but I would likely put UAC10 ammo on mine if I built one.

Ya, I was thinking of taking your build and switching the LBX out for a UAC10 as you mention in your first post. The UAC has the advantage of having 20 rounds per ton vs the LBX which is still at 15.

Then for some reason I figured it could become an up close, in your face type of brawler so I came up with this.

Looking forward to giving it a try

Not sure you'd need that much ammo for the SSRM6, as it fires rather slow, and it requires a lock. The ultras will burn through ammo pretty quickly now though. I'd drop the .5 ton SSRM6 and do a full ton of UAC10 ammo. Other than that, it would brawl pretty well I imagine.

[Cyborne Elemental]

Alot of people stand by the Gauss + 4 ERML and nothing else for this mech.

I do my own twist on it, gives a little better buffer for cqb this way I find.

I thought it would be funny to try this, very first game I played with it.. survived till the end with 2 other teamates and won with a few kills, 800 ish damage.

I also find Hellbringer to be one of those mechs where people ignore your arms and legs almost always so you can get away with stripping some armor there, they want that juicy ECM torso and they want it bad, which makes using your RT to pack some if not most of your firepower a pretty good move most of the time.

Omni pods are fairly restrictive, so there are only a handful of builds that make sense for it, all of which include using that ECM slot, 1 ton JESUS BOX FTW!
