I call it the Laserback. I didn't really think there was room for improvement, just checking

Well if you remove the three medium lasers you get this: HBK-4P

Slightly more cooling, slightly more speed, and enough armor that you might survive getting hit by a dual gauss round instead of just dieing.

Basically I have scorn for those medium lasers, as they arent gonna last more than 3 seconds on 1 armored arms, so why not dump them for boosting that chest beam.

Well, this is how I ran it before my current loadout:

I think its good, but I'm up for any improvement.

[Just wanna play]

let me see here...

[Just wanna play]

simple improvement is put the ammo in the legs, so if it blows, you don't die or take a lot of dmg in the ct

[Just wanna play]

not much can be done without messing with the weapons, but taking off the medium pulses and putting on regular mediums lets me put in a bigger engine, and it runs cooler 2

i shaved some leg armor to put in another ton of ac/2 ammo, but if you rather have the leg armor, you still can, its up 2 you

[Just wanna play]

you can also remove the ac/2 and replace it with either large laserz or er large laserz

31% heat eff with regular, 27% heat eff with extended range

[Just wanna play]

unless you really like the ac/2, the 8 tons can be better used else where

removed ac/2 more hs and bigger engines

I've tried, but there are literally no spots in the legs, everything is full with something no matter what.
Ingame, not in the builder, that is, I just copied my build.

[Just wanna play]

remove it from its original place first, or it will think you are putting in another ton of ammo, which you have no space for

like any of variations of your builds i made?

Not too much wiggle room without changing your loadout.

Here's an alternative: 2ERLL, 2ML, AC/2. You could even downgrade to LL if it's still too hot, but you should not have too much trouble with it how I have it.

That did the trick.
I'm looking into putting the ammo (Not armor...) into the legs and getting a better engine for the cost of the pulse lasers.

i personally don't like the ac/2, high fire rate and low dmg just spread dmg all over the place

It works for me, I like to have some kind of non-heat dependent weapon, too.
Its a bit weak, but it gets the job done if you're a support player like me, and its not actually all that weak.

i prefer the uac/5

i used the trial dragon that had an ac2, weakest heavy mech EVER, 1 lrm10, 2 mediums, and an ac2, i understand its suppose to be a mobile sniper, but still

I just shaved some leg armor off and took one heatsink + one laser off for an UAC-5, gonna see if it was worth it.
Theoritically, I had too much armor anyway, the AC-2 was too weak and I had no need for two decent weapons, two good weapons and one crap weapon when I can have one decent weapon and three good weapons, right...?

[Gidonihah]

The armor in your legs should be stripped. You never need 60 Armor in legs, 40-45 is good. Simplest change is taking that tonnage and putting it into the engine.

More radical improvement could be had by adding in a XL engine.

Same weapon loadout, much higher speed. I personally prefer PPcs in the torso over those arms, but its not that big a difference.

Though Heavy optimization is more Protections forte than mine, I tend to optimize Assaults and Mediums more often as preference.

For amusement Mjolnir weapon system CPLT-K2 Adds anouther Ac2 for PPC/Ac2 tag team amusement.

uac is hard to use just so ya know, so it doesn't jam, you have to wait for it to fully recycle, and that means knowing how to tell when its done recycling, of course you can just hold down the trigger and shoot fast short burst, but thats not always the best thing 2 do, since it will cause it to jam

I'll figure it out.
I take it that its supposed to be a single shot weapon?

fun when you get the hang of it tho, only thing with higher dps is ac/20, and thats not exactly a sniping weapon
