Hi I have bought a spider SDR-5K varriant, stripped 4 jump jets, machine guns and ammo, and added ac/2 and 3 ton ammo, and changed engine size. What would you further do?

[Shaftronics]

My only question is; Why bother?

With the weight of the Spider, having 1 ERLL and 4 MGs are already 7 Tons, with the MG ammo you go up to 9 Tons.
AC/2 with 2 tons of ammo requires 8 tons, and with its fire rate, most run 3 tons, bringing it up to 9 tons.

As you can see, there's nothing much you can do. Either stick to the default Champion loadout or go AC/2 with 2 tons of ammo and an ML if you so please.

Yeah I have not had much luck with AC's on Spiders due to ammo weight.

If your grinding that variant I suppose keep it if it is fun but a energy weapon is the best for lights.

A 5D with a ER PPC is very potent as a long range harasser and hit and run build.

much fun is running around going ratta tat tat with machine guns and been a general pain in the arse right up till the point someone nails you for it, might I recomend mounting a flamer in your center torso and using those four jets to jump up on top a large rock right in front of an atlas and let him have it in the face will achieve nothing but it would be friggin hilarious.

8f you could unbind the hand gestures while performing this manuvour it would have maximum psychological impact lmao

Scrap this build altogether and return it to the original. It's utterly useless.

thats no fun

its shixtloads of fun

run amok

Actually, i switched to an ac5 w/h 1 med laser and slight reduiced speed. It was able to pull some kills in the last few games, and upon getting a xl engine, it will be as fast as norm. It has also added a psycological advantage, as no sane person, (note that I am NOT) would do that.

Hang my head in shame at playing at needing to resort to exploiting a variant with bugged hit boxes .

If you want to play an MG build, you should bump the engine up to its 285. The 5K is the fastest (169.3kph) JJ capable mech on the field. You can't mount the faster engines with AC builds, and I wouldn't recommend them unless you just want to mess around.
