Since we now know the Atlas Quirks,

Atlas AS7-D - Tier 3 Brawler

Structure Strength (RT&LT) +11
AC/20 Velocity +15%
AC/20 Cooldown +15%
SRM/6 Range +15%

We also can also surmise the Quirks for the D-DC,

Atlas AS7-D-DC - Tier 2 Brawler

Structure Strength (RT&LT) +11

And ONE of the following

AC/20 Velocity +10%
AC/20 Cooldown +10%
SRM/6 Range +10%

It looses one because of the ECM,

Considering the Meta Build for the D does not use an AC/20 and uses either 2xLBX10 or 2xUAC5, (D-DC uses LBX10), the D-DC still remains the king of the Atlas's. If the D-DC gets the SRM Quirk it actually takes an even bigger lead against the other Atlas models.

The Atlas-D Quirk needed to be either LBX10 or UAC5 based to stand a chance to bring the mech up to a level to match that of of the D-DC, and the D-DC quirk needs to be something that DOES NOT buff SRM/6

o.O

Um...just because it's got two ballistic hardpoints...that doesn't make it meta. Meta is what works. Not what fits.

If the S has quirks anything like these I may never pilot a D-DC again.

I would love UAC5/LLaser quirks on my Fatlas.

It's a nice thought to buff the Atlas but until it is on a level playing field with the Direwolf then there's no point. The only other solution would be to give IS mechs a tonnage advantage. But then you have an imbalance still in random matches.

These "buffs" are a pathetic joke.

I know, right? AC/20 specific, with a general laser quirk, anyone? *fap*

[Cygone]

Yeah and an AC/20 Don't work, even 1 LBX10 when factoring in crits is a higher DPS weapon

Ive run over so many Direwolves with my Atlas its not even funny. I dont care who you are, 3 srm6 ac20 with 2 large lasers will shred any mech to pieces within 270m. Good Atlas pilots lead the charge and soak damage to the arms. Now its gonna be that much harder to kill them with structure to the torsos and the AC20 and srm6's will keep firing for longer. They will be a terror on the battlefield.

Mine works well enough. 20 pts on a spot can go a long way.

[Brody319]

Eager to see what this does to my DDC since I am running almost meta build for it.

[Cygone]

If your running the Meta build you are not running an AC/20 on a DDC, you are running 2xLB10X

[MechPorn]

DDC
only one quirk is needed:

+100 meters on ECM

[DONTOR]

I would love an increased RoF for the LBX10 on m F-atlas!

I love LBX weapons but you are gettng it wrong, LBX10s arent meta, for any mech, ever at all.

My Atlas does just fine against DireWolfs...

LBX10s are meta for nearly every brawler in the game mate, I'm sorry if you don't know this or don't agree with me, but at the highest levels of play LBX10 are absolutely meta

[Cygone]

Neither, I'm 100% serious. I'm just guessing your not in that ELO bracket then.

Truly, we are in VERY different ELO brackets.

[Zerberus]

What the "meta" is is absolutely irrelevant, since a large part of the idea behind quirks is to makes mechs more viable the closer they are to stock. Both to benefit new players and to encourage the use of more reasonable loadouts /discourage the constant meta whoring to a certain degree.

The dominant Meta not getting buffed is generally always a good thing. It encourages people to try something else other than Pogostick Online, SkyBlackener Online, or whatever the dominant meta currently happens to be

LBX as meta... well this thread went to crap real fast.
