At this point in time it`s a K2 twin ERPPC and an AC10... unfortunately the AC10 isn't a surprise for anyone who thinks I'm stock anymore, but most people ignore me when they realize it isn't AC20 or gauss... most under rated weapon in the game.

[Elyam]

For three decades in BT/MW I've been known for a Griffin (Fury Myth) a Marauder II (Behemyth)

In MWO, my primaries (which I haven't been using while working on completion of CN9 mastery) are:

- CTF-2X (Sagitta), 2 SRM6, AC10, ERLLAS, 2 MLAS (sometimes will vary load slightly, but keep same architecture of long ballistic, long beam, 2 short beams, 2 short missile or rarely a long missile), suberb all-around combatant

- AWS-8Q (Deus-Pitar), 2 ERPPC, 2 LPLAS, 3 MPLAS, devastating shock mech and my go-to chassis when I'm not in the mood to mess around (sometimes will use AWS-9M (Relentless) with similar load and substiituting SRMs for half the beams). It is a terror upon the battlefield
__________
others

- CPLT-K2 (Biscorpios) or C1 (Arcuballista), 2 LLAS, 2 MLAS or 2 MPLAS, more effective than cursory glance will suggest

- CN9-D (Hekatontarch) or A (Spatha), AC/5, 2 MLAS, 2 SRM6 or 2SRM4-A, many people overlook the single AC/5, but I've found it to be superior to the other ballistic options on a medium chassis (10 is great, but its weight puts too many limits on the rest of the loadout, and I personally don't like having to shift any combat awareness toward babysitting the ultra, and over time this has taught me to be very accurate with the standard 5). Will sometimes use a variant on the D giving up the missiles for a second AC/5

HBK 4G.

I have played it more than all others combined. I fiddle with builds constantly, trying everything. Its not really versatile, its not the best variant, but for some reason, I just have fun doing the best I can in it. Right now Im trying to elite my JM's, but Im already getting bored. I love the 2xAC20, and the shotgunner somewhat, but then I pull out my 4G and just smile.

I think my Illya and one of my JM's will get some decent play, but the 4G is "MY" mech.

Jenner JR-7 D "Pan"

XL300 tweaked (152.7KPH)
5 JJ
Endo-steel
Ferro Fibrous 215 out of 238 armor
10DHS

And either 2x SRM4's and 4 small lasers or
1x SRM4 and 4 medium lasers

[Kraven Vanhound]

Guess with me it's ether my 4SP or Ilya,

4SP, 4med Pulse, 2x LRM5 + Artamus and a Tag
Ilya, twin Ac/10, twin Med Pulse and a tag

[medivo]

I most commonly run my founders Catapult:

260 engine,
Lrm 5 in each arm,
ER Large laser x2
Medium laser x2

Its fast enough (at 60-70kph) and if you start the game taking potshots with the LRMs and LLas, by the time you run out of missiles and close with 4 lasers, most things are pretty wrecked so you can use the 4 lasers and jump jets to destroy components and core things from unecpected angles!

[Rogue Jedi]

Ciceda 5m, 3ml + xbx10, ff, es, dhs ECM and xl300 engine.

this configuration is not great at killing lights (well not with me piloting at least) but is a great fast harasser, and killer of slow Mechs, if you come against a lone heavy or assault in this it dies, generally in less than 30 seconds. in a big brawl, avoid the fast Mechs and harass the slow ones

[Ansel]

AS7-RS "Sword of Celestial Wisdom" or "Poke"

325 ST / Endo / DHS / Remove 0.5 ton of armor

52.6 KPH /no speed tweak
4x LL + 1x Gauss Rifle
3 tons of ammo
18 DHS.
0 free slots left.
The endo/engine upgrade need to be done at the same time, just remove the lasers and replace the engine and add the endo then put the lasers back on and re-add the DHS.

This build has a 51 damage alpha and can fire 3 alphas before reaching the heat warning for 153 damage even on the hot maps, and of course the gauss can fire nonstop.

[ElLocoMarko]

I love jump jets which has me in two catapults right now and the Trebuchet is looking pretty good...

[Ninjamoose]

SDR 5k with an Ac/5 and a Medium pulse laser.

She is my baby.

[Shade4x]

I use to be known for my 3D but when the Trebuchet's where launched i started to get asked to specificly bring my Trebuchet to team matches and even subbing for other teams. It's a beast, love the thing.

ArchAngel
3C - AMS 2 Med lasers, 2 SRM6's, 2 Small lasers 116 kph
Phoenix
7M - 2 Med lasers, SRM 4, 2 SRM 6's, 1 small lasers 4/5 jump jets, 103.6
5J - 2 PPC's, LRM 15, 1 JJ, tons of ammo and 82.6 kph

I think my 7M has 400k XP.

[Korlandril]

It has got to be the Jenner-D.

300xl
endosteel
ferro-fibrous
11 double heatsinks

2 small lasers
2 medium lasers
2 srm 4 ( 2 tons ammo)

It has good heat efficiency and it super fast and maneuverable ( 152 km/h).
People go on and on about how streaks rule and all, and that the jenner is a dead mech
desighn becasue it doesnt have ecm. WRONG. See, if you can aim srm's really well, theey do the same damage. And with 2 srm 4, not 2 streaks...thats 20 points of damage right there..i dont NEED to hit every time, just once or twice and the vaunted 3L's come apart pretty good.

It has lots of firepower I love it a lot, and i got called a ''beast'' once. Aha was kinda cool
best matcg was 700 damage and 3 kills...so it can be rad.

Kinda thinking i may switch to house Kurita if they come out with other awesome kurita machines.., my biggest issue with the raven is actually its animation...it has no running animation, it just walks faster...it needs to bob up and down like a bird!!!! it is minor but...damn it ruins it for me, I wanted my birdie!!!

[Wintersdark]

No doubt: Flame, 350XL, 2LL, 2ML, SRM6 or 4LL.

I absolutely love my 104kph Flame. Fast enough to get away from things I can't handle, and arguably more important than speed it twists extremely quickly allowing easy high-speed tracking of lights with the lasers.

If you've got good situational awareness and avoid running into very bad places (like the whole enemy team), and good aim (can place those lasers where you need them at 104kph), this mech is a beast.

It's my baby.

[Tamion Evans]

I love my Hunchback-4G. I have pounded out Stakers, Atlas', and everything else under the sun.
AC/20
3 MPL
11 DBL Heat sinks
STD 200 Engine
ADV sensor range

[Smk]

My JM6-A or my 3D. Probably more so my Jager. 2 erppcs and 4 SRM6s make for a unique mech. It's a powerful sniper and will out brawl everything smaller than it. I just wish the weapon placements were swapped but otherwise I love it. The 3D for its obvious poptartness even though I hate that name. It's just too good of a mech.

[Durant Carlyle]

Run-jump-and-gun harassers. Right now, that's SDR-5D, SDR-5K, SDR-5V, and JR7-D.
