So I've been browsing a bit on what sort of mechs will be run on Clan launch day, and have come to the conclusion that the following is a sane and rational build.

Obviously 4 gauss rifles will become the norm for sniping!

EDIT: Apparently, the link does not work as intended. Full loadout:

Dire Wolf (Primary or B Configuration. Or A, but unlikely)

LA(P): Gauss Rifle, 2x Gauss Ammo
LT( B ): Gauss Rifle, 2x Gauss Ammo
RT( B ): Gauss Rifle, 2x Gauss Ammo
RA(P): Gauss Rifle, 1x Gauss Ammo

Soo.... who else is terrified of this mech?

I recently created a spreadsheet with all the hardpoints and came to the same conclusion as yourself, that this is a possible build on the Dire Wolf (Daishi). However PGI have also foreseen this and will only permit two gauss from charging at any one time.

Considering PGI announced that you won't be able to charge 4 Gauss rifles at once, it's not really any different than the 2 Gauss jagers we have now.

You're not going to be able to fit that many Gauss rifles or ammo without sacrificing a bit of armor. Also keep in mind that the Dire Wolf comes with 15 fixed heat sinks which cannot be removed or moved around on the chassis.

A config I've used on table top is like this:

RA (P):Gauss Rifle, 2 tons of ammo, ER Medium Laser
RT ( : Gauss Rifle, 2 tons of ammo
LT ( : Gauss Rifle, 2 tons of ammo
LA (P): ERPPC, ER Medium Laser, Flamer (which is useful against infantry in the board game, otherwise use an ER Small Laser)

Heres a Direwolf Build I'm contemplating

2xGauss 8xERML 1xERPPC, AMS and BAP.


Gauss + ERPPC for mid and long range.

Gauss + ERML for close range, might do small pulse even. We'll see.
