If you like "finishing"/close-range builds try this:

It works great for me, and it's not so one-dimensional that you can't at least contribute when matches don't favor knife-fighting scenarios.

WUB WUB WUB!!!

I really have to try this, indeed! Thank you =)

Clan pulse lasers are awesome. I run SPL on one of my vultures and it's just amazing in close range!

Is it me or does this thing really need quirks for it's er ppc's? .-.

[That Dawg]

I bought two yesterday (prime and so far...not liking them
I'll keep trying builds, but at this point, they aren't clicking.
Like the Kingcrabs- got three mastered all out they never just fit my style.
Will try a couple of the new builds over the weekend.

edit: LOL, superscript thought "prime and B" meant "prime and "

[That Dawg]

ok, got lucky- namely a team that utterly ignored me till the very end.
LRM30/3ML's, pretty much it otherwise.
placement and luck!





At least I'm starting to figure the mech out.
this makes about 13-15 battles total.
Might have some promise

It's just you. The Hellbringer is within striking distance of being OP, if anything needs quirks to its ER PPC's, it would be the Adder.

well I kinda hate getting around 30-40% heat firing 2 ER PPC's on a mech iconic for it...

[Bors Mistral]

Just recently got into Hellbringers and...
...the ECM doesn't come bundled with the left torso but is locked to the prime mech?

Also, the chassis seems to have too many pods that have the same hardpoints

You know endo wouldn't be a bad idea for the Hellbringer....

Then again...

Dual Gauss and all that crap...

woefully screwed aka Nova- no endo

but the ECM is part of the prime arm, any variant can put that omnipod on, I grinded all three WITH that ecm arm. without, its a very very plain mech

Got my first Hellbringer, working on just the Prime with basics so far to see how I like it and whether I will spring for two more to master it. Playing with a lot of various builds and right now liking an ERPP/5x ERML build, even with a LOT of DHS it's still a bit hot... Had one 600+ damage match but mostly in the 300s with only one or two kills but it seems to have potential.

it will get better, but that is one hot hot hot looking build!

Yeah it's hot and I'm trying to get better at heat management. Weapon 1- 2x ERML in left arm, Weapon 2 - ERPP right arm, Weapon 3 - 3x ERML in LT.

I'm overheating more than I'd like but I really like the mix. It's great for popping out and sniping, bad for falling into the middle of a brawl with all that heat and not much armor.

HBR-PRIME

This is what I've had best success with.

[NUJRSYDEVIL]

Would anybody like to share their CW-friendly builds?

Someone suggested the x2 ERPPC yesterday. Not a fan of the PPC but could see how it works, tried it out and not bad.

[That Dawg]

Hmm, on another forum, in a galaxy far far from here, someone suggested my 4ERLL build was only good for CW.
While I've had a blast in pugs with it, I see their point
HBR-A
ERLL range level5, zoom, advanced target module so it loads data crazy fast.
left mouse head laser
right mouse 3 torso (great pin point)
mouse three chain all four
You can touch off that top laser and barely expose your mech.

the longer burn time of the large lasers (for me) is offset by me keeping it planted on running mechs.
I'd rather get 1/2 3/4 burn on a light, than miss totally with the PPC's and that heat..phew...

[Jorunn]

Updating a new HBR-Prime build I'm liking with an ERPPC, LRM15, and 5x ERML. Must have gotten something right averaging close to 600 damage a match now with it.

[Carl Vickers]

I'm using Gauss and right torso, 4er mids, 3 in left torso and 1 in the head, 4 tons of ammo for Gauss, 2 HS in the legs to bring the heat down quicker for alphaing the mids, ecm and targeting computer 1.

Have armor at 400 out of 422.

Makes an awesome hill humper.

Can be very sneaky and snipery with it. Modules = adv zoom, cooldown for er mid and Gauss and range for er mid. Not as blasty as the 6-7 er mid variant which I have gotten 1k damage on but it is a finisher. Got 6 kills on a match yesterday and 5 of them were the last 5 on opponents team.

[LordKnightFandragon]

Im havin issues with this mech, been running it in CW a bit and dear god, it just fires and fires and fires and fires and nothing dies. i have unloaded into stripped sections of cherry red and orange mechs and nothing.....

My build has been 1LPL per arm, 2 ERML in the one torso and a SRM6+Art in the other Torso.

And it just seems no matter how much I fire, it just doesnt kill ****. And it runs kinda hot, cant fire for long.....

[impar]

Its not the same mech it was when it was launched.
Its lasers just dont seem to be doing the same damage as other mechs.
