Jman, I wanted to opt in so bad to pit myself against your Hunchbacks. I was going to use a similar build with pulses in the torso but standard engine. (mostly cuz Im broke) or my Underhive warrior 4H with LB10X and 5 mediums. Didn't surprise me to see you up top.

In DHB's 3rd Battalion Grey Ghosts, I am known for doing my best in my Hunchbacks. I just knew I would not have any play time this weekend.
Congrats and thanks for giving us casual Hunchie-lovers someone to look up to!

Whether you believe it or not doesn't change the fact that it is indeed the configuration of my 4G(F).

I am keeping my Atlas build hidden. I tend too confuse a lot of people because people usually never seen me running the same build twice. Its always changing from one game too the next so people can never tell what I am doing.

This is my Jenner. 6 ML, XL295, 13 DHS, 5 JJ. In retrospect, I should probably have stripped some armor from my arms and maxed out the head. I got headshot far more times than is reasonable in a light mech.

Single medium head laser Banshee-3E. At least if we are talking about the end of a couple matches.

Fair warning it will only get you to 6th place though.

I know Nagarahk (The guy who tied for 1st in Catapults) ran a K2 with 4 Mlas and 2 LB10s. Or, when he got bored, a 6 LRM5 Catapult and a C4 with 2 Mlas and 4 SRM6s with art.

Hes in my company, and is scary in the Catapult XD If he didn't have a LOT of bad games and got good pugs, he would of scored higher.

I expect most of the top guys in the Centurion section are using YLW, the classic CN9-A SRM bomber, or the CN9-AH (which splits the difference between the first two).

Yes.
YLW + AC20 + 2ML
CN9-A(C) + ERLL + 3xSRM6 + Artemis

[Yarvoo]

I ran Wolverines. and got up to #2.

Tried various things, but kept going back to a couple in particular.

6R with MPL, 2xMG, and 3xSRM6+A

And the 7k with 3xML and 3xSRM6+A

Maxed jump jets on both, which was really quite nice.

A couple of my best games:

Hey, thats almost my build. Apparently yours is 72 points better

I tried the LBX5 build but never felt like it did as much damage as I wanted it to. Maybe I need to give it another try. UAC5 allows double firing, which allowed me to do quick snap shots with relatively decent damage. 21 from the medium lasers, plus 10 from the double shot UAC5.

I know I saw a few of my fellow Kitfox players using different builds, including ERPPCs, so I would love to hear what they used.

Just when i thought i finally won back 2nd you also had a great match and both of us added to the score within the very same 15min update. Called it a night then, a few hours before the end of the tournament, since i am European (EST+6) and it would have taken several tries to get another great match.

i got 2nd in Hunchies and the only one i used was the HBK-4P(c) which was mastered. It had 8 ML and a 275 std. radar derp, seismic, and adv zoom, plus med laser range 5. i also had arty and cool shot 9. Best game was on Terra Therma 829 dmg, 7 kills and 5 asst. 147 match score.

[Aresye]

I went with either the laser vomit TBR w/ 2 LPLs & 4 ER Mediums, or swapped out the LPLs for ERPPCs. At one point I went with just 2 ERPPCs, a monstrous Mk VII targeting computer, tons of heat sinks, and lvl 5 ERPPC cooldown module, which yielded good results, but for the majority of the weekend I stuck with either the LPLs or ERPPCs.

[Navid A1]

A balanced build of 4xERML+UAC10+SSRM6 for the summoner... lacks enough punch... but works.!
Summoner can really use some buff quirks like less jam chance and less heat and such.

[Sorbic]

Locust 3M. I started with 5ml but early on had an unusual string of lost arms/headshots so I dropped dropped 1ML for a SL and some armor. I should have went back but really never thought about it. Plus the tiny sound of that small laser is just cute. pew

So not that anyone probably really cares about Vindicators, but I managed to finish 2nd with basically just one build. I couldn't quite catch Vindicator Jones who got the first spot, though I was in first for a day or so before he started zooming up the board. Anyway, I don't consider myself a great pilot, so definitely happy with where I finished up. I love my vindy, but anyone that has it in their screen name deserves to win the chassis.

My build was: VND-SIB: 2xLPL, 2xSRM4, 1xML and a couple JJ.

I played a few games with my 1AA, but didn't really do as well, and so just mainly focused on doing well in my St. Ives.

My best game was around 790 dmg, 4 kills, and I was the last man standing. That was probably the most exciting game I have ever played in MWO to date. Special salute to King Curt who was driving the last DRG-FLAME that was dueling me at the end...very tense moments for me!

To all the other Vindy brothers in arms I met during the challenge: it was fun to see some others out there keep fighting the good fight, hopefully we get some nice quirks in a couple weeks.
