Trust me on this. I wreak havoc in this mech. I call it the
Shotgun setup.

SRM6 x3
LB10X
Large Laser x2
The ER Large Laser produced too much heat, and wasn't needed for during long range encounters the LL had enough range and the arms were too low to try and avoid getting hit myself. Bad trade-off. SRM6 and LB10X are medium range shotgun blasts that absolutely destroy anything within 300 meters. The full heavy armor had to be transitioned more towards the front, since I would rely on those Face-to-Face encounters to deal maximum damage, while those weapons also prove effective for Bug Extermination (light mechs) so all I had to do was grind up 2 other variants, then grind the Orion M up to Elite and the thing was as mobile as a Medium mech, while having more firepower than most Assault mechs.
It works. I use all these weapons, I rarely die without expending the majority of my ammo, never had an ammo explosion since the arms never get touched. Even if I run out of ammo, which I rarely do (the amounts were adjusted over time) I still have those Large Lasers, infinite, good damage, good range.
