[Cyborne Elemental]

Just trying to get this beast leveled up to top off my Banshee lineup.

Does anyone know some good configs for it?
I tried doing a few builds, but was having a really hard time getting anything to work well on it.

This got me through basics.

Got my 3E and 3M up to elite since I saved the 3S for last, had enough XP saved up to just unlock elite/master in 1 shot for each, and wow what a difference it made to get those 2 out of basic.

Is the 3S more of a support mech?
Or can it do some really beefy brawler builds like the other Banshees can?

Gauss rifles are for people who don't understand the power of the AC20!

I never intended to play my 3S beyond unlocking basics so my other variants could access elite.

So this is what I ran in order to avoid spending cbills on upgrades: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...f7be175313d0701

There's only one manly way to play it: 8 MPLs and a AC20.


For maximum carnage.



Though, I suppose this works too:

I've seen something along the lines of this getting well over 1000 damage (I was spectating). BNC-3S

I don't have any Banshees though, so I'm not the best person to answer this one. The MPL version of this looks devastating too, but quite hot.

[Cyborne Elemental]

Yeah, but its quirks line up best with the Medium laser configs.
So I'm trying to work with that.

The 8MPL+AC20 with 0 ghost heat looks pretty brutal, but wow... the heat dude, lol.
Maybe a mixed load like this?

Thats why I was thinking maybe go with the Gauss to save on heat, then you still have some range and save those wubwubs for up close.

I used to run this, when i used the mech (probably going to sell it soon, just sort of seeing if it gets quirked onto the level of the other 2)
BNC-3S
Bit hot, but packs a pretty sweet alpha.

could do this as well BNC-3S.

To be honest though i think the Atlas does it better with LPL/AC20/SRMs

2 high mounted ER LL, for closing in the distance and having something to poke/peakaboo with.
5 ML + AC20 makes for potent close range punch.
And even an AMS, for when you just want to ignore LRMS more easily getting somewhere.

[TELEFORCE]

I run mine as an upgrade to the BNC-3S. I swapped out the single heat sinks for doubles, added CASE, and replaced the AC/10 with a gauss rifle. It runs hot if you don't properly bracket fire.

6 Medium Lasers
1 SRM-6 w/ 1 ton ammo
1 Gauss Rifle w/ 2 tons ammo
2 PPCs

STD 285
Forget how much armor
2x CASE
Rest DHS

[TexAce]

I run this:

BNC-3S

Looks hotter than it is, I was amazed how well it works if you can control your trigger finger

[theta123]

I have an 8 ML AC20 STD 340 Banshee 3S. and well, its awesome. Also delivering a 60 alpha

Or massive rapid fire chainfired 8 ML's.

This is correct:

BNC-3S

Heres your 3S. Almost the 3E. Which would boast 2 LPL, you can of course drop the one on the S for a MPL and more heatsinks if you wish, but its nice to have it. You can still alpha without over heating.

3M youre looking at 3 LPL and 5 MPL
