I went with D then the D-DC then finally the RS. I'm not sure about the K I didn't like it but maybe if your into
The dual ams. D and D-DC and similar I like the D-DC for the ECM, also for the RS It has 2 laser hard points in each arm instead of the CT so would allow you to mount 4 bigger lasers unlike the rest of them.

Depends what you like to do.

Brawl/facesmash: D, DDC
Longer range, support fire:K, RS

RS can actually be built to brawl, but the 2 D's do it better. I see a lot of PPC and gauss loadouts full to the brim with cheese on RS atlas. K can sort of brawl if you want to load it that way, but lacks enough missiles for streak or SRM. dual AMS K can be very helpful to your team.; Remove the XL engine from it though for sure.

D is a superb brawler. D-DC is solid for it too, similar hardpoints and can be sneaky with ECM. Dont be that guy making atlas LRM boats. A LRM launcher is fine, good even, but that isnt what an atlas is all about.

D-DC and RS, in that order.

I am probably going to sell my RS because I never use it. Something about the hardpoint locations seems to stop me from creating a satisfying build with it.

Dunno, I like the -K due to the dual AMS.
With PPC/Gauss combo its pretty effective and the only missile and ballistic hardpoint is no disadvantage compared to the -D.

Depends of the intended role of your Atlas(es).
IMHO one Atlas should be the D-DC, the other the -RS if you defintely don't want a dual AMS.


I have a D-DC brawler, the -K mentioned above as fire support and a -RS for additional fire support or as brawler.

For some reason I always felt better in my D. However, when I look at my stats, my k/d in the D-DC is higher. I guess ECM just makes a huge difference and that is that.
