...why does it have 3 CT hardpoints?

[Bishop Steiner]

paint job say Morgan Kell.

Plus Tempest was the name of the woman he loved and lost while on the run in the periphery. Had an illegitimate daughter by her even, whom I believe Dan Allard marries.

Maybe like that one awesome, who has 4 in CT.

[Gamuray]

That Archer ARC-5W though.
Wow missles!
I mean, 9 missiles hardpoints. My gosh that is going to be one HECK of an LRM/SRM boat!

Purchased and Fukme, the Hero has ECM!

[BigBenn]

Good to see!

[Chados]

And the ARC-T has ECM. IS, meet your very own Loki. At last.

looks like another fatass 60 tonner like the QKD and drag queen

PPC range modules for a preorder pack that doesn't come stock with a single PPC variant. Lel.

EDIT: NVM they fixed it to LRM20 cooldown.

It has a special quirk that lets it run without an engine for ultimate zombie mode. It can't be cored, it can't be stopped, the only thing that can kill it is a head shot. Bow before your Archer Overlord!

Or maybe my point of not having to shoehorn guns into every available slot is spot on? It offers versatility.

[cSand]

9 missile points?

Probably gonna pick this up for the ludicrous number of SRMs I can fire


LUDICROUS


no JJ's though.

I hope the next one is a JJ mech

[Dustdog]

I guess Crusader is the next one.

It's 70 tons dude. Cataphract weight. Pay attention.

Except it'll be better than the loki, because upgrades and engine changability. It's also 5 tons more. (and we have a cataphract with ECM already)

By the way. 9 missile hardpoint 5W. Can you even begin the imagine EITHER the reign/rain of terror AND(<-the and is important to note)/or the absolutely monstrous amount of srm launchers it can bring!? I mean, heck. lrm30 + srm machinegun/mega swarm!

Interesting mechs ...

1) Will folks cry pay to win because the hero is the only one with ECM?
2) The 2E and 1M hard points in the CT of the hero are also interesting since it allows for different zombie options. 2 slot missile, Missile + laser, large laser, or 2 1 slot lasers. At least it is a unique feature.
3) The 5W has 9! missile hard points and that is it ... talk about splat ... I wonder if 9 SRM4 or SRM6 would be interesting?

Pirates Banes has ECM. Don't recall other locusts with it. I guess that was the litmus test.

Personally, I still expect ECM to be further nerfed when infowar gets added, so it is what it is.

[Phlinger]

Am I missing something here? The Archer 2R and the Archer Tempest have the same loadouts BUT, The Archer Tempest has a Standard Engine+ECM and two extra Heatsinks..... Same armor as well....

Endo shouldn't free up that much weight...

well, this is a pretty and plump 70 tonner, actually, and compared to the source art, is actually moderately svelte.

And if played as the support ech it is supposed to be, less of an issue.
