Summary: Every weapon in this 'Mech is rated most effective at 270M, resulting in an extremely powerful alpha strike at close range. The maximum range of the AC/20 and Medium Lasers makes it effective at 400M or so as well. It is an extremely effective "brawler" "Mech, and can toe it with the best assault 'Mechs out there given it's superior maneuverability. The lack of an XL engine allows the "The Pain Bringer" to continue to deal damage with it's AC/20 or 10 SRMS depending on which side of the 'Mech is crippled. Overall, it's a specialized mid-range combat 'Mech, and I believe specialization has been lacking in the Trial 'Mech area. This is hands-down my favorite 'Mech so far, and I've experimented with a lot of different chassis' and specializations.

Runs very hot if you try to alpha strike, but if separated into Long and Short range brackets, there's plenty of cooling.

Here be text: The reason I didn't put in XL engine was that if there is new player playing with this mech build who don't know that if mech's side torso with XL engine is destroyed it will knock out the mech. New players might not know to cover those side torsos properly.
As the mech is more like a brawler it adds survivability to have STD engine.
Fire groups would be like:
1: 1x left arms MPL; 2. right arms 2x MPL; 3. 2x LL; 4. 1xAC/10.
Player will have to watch the heat with this build, but this should be all good if LL' are only used as longer range combat.
The AC/10 can be changed for a LB-10X AC.

Tactical Role:
The Catapult CPLT-K2 "Critical Observer" custom design is a direct fire support mech.
Thanks to its Beagle Active Probe, it can detect enemy mechs early and engage at long distances.
For close range engagements against mechs with more heat efficient weapons than the PPC, the mechwarrior can use the 2 Medium Pulse Lasers.

Story:
The Critical Observer was a custom job requested by a wealthy mercenary commander. The Mercenary had lost his previous K2 due to an internal ammo explosion from his Machine Gun due to a long range missle hit, that cored the mech. He barely escaped with his life and vowed never to rely on Machine Guns again.
To replace the Machine Guns, the Engineers suggested to install 2 Medium Pulse Lasers instead of 2 Medium Lasers ,giving his mech a decent close range and anti-infantry defense. Attempts to install ER PPCs failed. Despite the CPLT-K3 Catapult prototype a few early, the engineers contracted for the design were not able to make them work to the client's satisfication, which may be due to their inexperience with the new technologies of the ER PPC and their need to refit an existing K2, instead of building a completely new design.
The installation of the Anti-Missile System caused some concern - it would allow defending against missiles, but at the same time, the AMS is basically a specialized machine gun, again carrying the risk of an internal ammo explosion. CASE was discussed, but required too much compromises on armour, so the decision was eventually to install the AMS ammo in the leg, so that any internal explosion couldn't carry too far.

Dragons have fascinated men since the ancient times and fittingly they are also one of the more capable battemechs around. In these times of larger maps and need for mixed balanced fits I bring you this Dragon. Its capable of engaging targets far beyond 1km range and down to raging close combat where it can dominate with its machine gun and flamer. Not forgetting the middle range where its AC/5 is useful. Its also well armored and fast.
A true beast I'd love to play against!

CPLT-C4 'Kunai' Build
Original guide thread on the 'Kunai' build

Pros
- Very heat friendly, can deal near to maximum damage almost constantly even in Caustic Valley. How hot the map is determines how often you should retreat behind allies.
- High damage at all ranges up to 800m.
- Has indirect fire capabilities if you're heavily damaged or facing snipers.
- Has the ability to target and destroy ECM-cloaked Lights, even RVN-3Ls.
- Can outrun anything that can outdamage it at short ranges (Medium Laser, Small Laser boats) except the Swayback
- Usage of Jump Jets gives it a very small turn radius, and large torso twist range allows it to fire nearly backwards while running away to maintain the 200-250m distance, something only the Catapult can do
- XL is shielded by the Side Torsos having very small hitboxes on the Catapult, making it effective for little added risk
- Devastating in the hands of a good pilot, and useable in the hands of even a new pilot since most of its damage is auto-tracking
- Can do more than half its damage even if one of the 'ears' are blown off.

Cons
- Extremely expensive to build under normal conditions due to usage of Endo Steel, Double Heat Sinks and a maxed XL engine
- Weak towards Swaybacks on cold maps

The potential of this Mech in the current ECM situation is maximised by taking the Advanced Sensor Range module as soon as possible. Remember, it boosts radar range by 25%... if I remember correctly, this also means that you'll have a 200-250m window in which you can lock on to and fire at ECMed mechs. This corresponds exactly to the 200-250m maximal effective window in which this Mech is the most useful anyway (the range of overlap between the sub 270m Streaks and over-180m LRMs, which means...

If you have that module, you can use this Mech as if ECM never even existed at all, but if this Mech is used as a Trial, that module won't be useable.

TAG is included for insurance to target Mechs at a longer distance which are cloaked by ECM with LRMs. If you're going to fight ONLY in the 200-250m maximal effective range however, you might want to drop the TAG, drop one Jump Jet, and add the second Medium Pulse Laser, as per what the build was originally configured around.

I dislike boats, and this is the most effective non-boating setup I've ever built for any Mech. Also, learning how to constantly stay in the 200-250m range is actually quite fun even for an experienced player; for newer players it might teach them important lessons like how to stick with the rest of the group, how to control the weapon ranges at which you fire and how to use cover/hold fire on enemies behind cover. It also has the advantage of being able to do high damage at any range, even though it has a specific window in which it outdamages everything else it can't outrun other than a Swayback.

If I were to make a heavy mech for a starting friend to learn the game, I would probably give him something like this. A new player might get bored with the slow rate of fire of a Gauss Rifle, so I picked the AC/10 (45 shots) instead. The LRM10 and TAG will allow him to try out how missiles work in the game without dedicating too much tonnage to it to the point that he's gimped if he fights ECM. The Medium Lasers in the left arm and the left torso will provide closer-ranged fire power and I chose the 1C to ensure that he will at least have one laser left in the torso in case he loses both arms. As a zombie, he will have 1 Medium Laser, TAG, and an LRM10 (with enough ammo for 36 shots).

The engine rating I chose is slower than what most Dragons get. A new player might bump into buildings a lot so at this speed it is not too fast, but fast enough to allow new players to realize that heavy mechs can go at a good speed. The Dragon chassis will somewhat protect him from easy side torso kills due to how it is modeled.

The LRM10 and TAG can guarantee him some damage at long range, even if he cannot hit the broad side of a barn. The AC/10 can then be used as supplementary damage when the enemy gets closer and in brawling range as well. The LRM10 can be swapped to the three Medium Lasers with the AC/10 for up-close fights under 270 meters. The AMS will give him a little protection from missiles while he has no clue what's happening to him and it will also protect his team mates who can probably do more in the match than he will. This build should be able to fire for quite awhile as long as he doesn't use the LRM10 in brawling range, but we all know that new players tend to mash it anyway under 180m.

this build is easy to learn but hard to master

it is a good build to learn the advantages of artemis IV and how to counter ECM: the Energy Weapon loadout offers the possibility to return fire with precision, even when attacked by the notorious Raven-3L - yet the Pilot can only succed, if he/she learned to manage the pulse lasers' heat.

Max Jump Jets: 0

This is the simplest and arguably the most efficient build that I have played. It is fast enough to get you where you want to go and you can shoot all your weapons at any range from the start to the end of the match. All that a new player has to do is run around chasing squirrels and press the fire button. Mr. New Player can just enjoy shooting other giant robots without a care in the world (at least until he loses both arms). Using just the Gauss Rifle and one Large Laser will allow him to fire nonstop, I believe, unless he's standing on a volcano or something. Minimal heat if he decides to shoot everything, so either way he won't end up shutting down like most new players do. He also has 40 shots of Gauss Rifle so he won't run out any time soon.
