I know this is an old post, but i just got destroyed by a MAL-MX90. As did half of my team. 800 dmg it did. it took down my BNC in like 15 sec. WTF?

Took him a whole 15 seconds? Darn, guy must not have the best aim. Maulers live up to their name don't you know.

These things eat face! I've become terrified of them now. It must be constrained by the same tonnage limits as everything else, but it just seems to act like a 1 mech army.

Needles to say, I've started saving cBills for 19th Jan release.

Mauler is working ok then ?

You had to necro to bring that up?????
MX90 can pack 6 AC2'S comfortably with plenty of ammo. I've done well over a 1000 in my Mauler multiple times

the MX90 can pack 6 ac5s with 6 tons of ammo. You can even fit in a couple more tons if you downgrade the engine to a 250. All high mounted. 40 salvos of 30 ppd. 1200 potential damage output.

I managed to fit 7 tons of ammo into one, but the potential damage is 1050 with your 210 shots spread over 35 salvos. This was using a 250 engine with no armor on either arm and with leg armor reduced.

Hmm I fit in 8 tons with some armor still on the arms. The last ton I split between the two arms. Did you put extra heat sinks I. It? It doesn't need any more than the 10 in the engine.

Didn't add any extra heat sinks.

Here's the exact build:

Hmm I would need to go home to see what I did exactly. Its got to be the armor otherwise It looks exactly like that except with a half ton of ammo in each arm.

lololol, I liked this post so much I quoted it. ttk is too damn low. bring back the brawl

[Chados]

Of all IS assault mechs, it is the Mauler I respect the most when one shows up in the other team. They tank well and carry Clan levels of firepower.

Odd that People rage about this mech.

Myself its my worse performing one, even my Gargoyles, Executioners and Awesomes out damage and out kill my Marauders

Mauler's gonna Maul

Mauler op lol

I prefer my 4 x UAC/5 setup, and I prefer it in the MX90 over the 1P (Range, heat, and velocity over only cooldown). The setup can vary on whether you want a STD300 or smaller engine.

Either way, if you don't try for the double shots you at least have a AC/20 firing every 1.5s (w/ UAC/5 cooldown module). And if you attempt to reshoot during the cooldown, well...

BTW, the key to the Mauler is to not get AGGRO. And what I mean by that is with it being an Assault mech is don't be the first one into the fight. I do really well following in an Atlas, King Crab or Dire Wolf and let them soak up most of the damage while quickly dispatching the enemy.

Another favorite tactic is to follow the group of lights and fast mediums. While a few mechs get tunnel vision on them only, from range I peel the armor off real quick and then let the swarm finish them off.

Might have been me, was it 4 AC5 and 2 srm6? That build just wrecks everything its pointed at. It once caused a Jenner to explode from fear alone, all I did was look at him. Sure it wasn't a 1p with 2 AC5 2 AC2 and 4ml?
