Can a few of you guys plz link some GD builds you enjoy?

I am also interested in other Shawk builds, but I love the paint job on the GD lol, and of course I can get extra CBills.

So any Shawk builds go ahead and link, but im mostly interested in GD builds.

That single highly positioned ballistic slot is screaming put a gauss in me pleaseeee!!

THen there are those 4 medium energy slots screaming put 4 M Lasers in us pleaseee!!

And then there are those two misile slot empty, they don't say anythin too loud but we can stuff something in them and since weight is scarce by now SRM2s are just fine; never understimate SRM2s, they may look small but they fire fast and are kind of pinpointish.

Doesn't make it to meta status, but it certainly is a flexible mech to bring to battle when you have no clue how it is going to flow, read PUGland. Start sniping with the gauss, look what your team is doing and support them from mid range. If somehow you get assaulted or your firsnd need some relief meat to take some shots folr them you got 4 MLas and 2 SRMs to brawl, may not seam much but with selected aim and some damage rolling to avoid geting your gauss torso exposed you can come on top of most of brawls, and never forget the gauss it's not the weapon I prefer for a brawl but it deals 15 damage at close quarter just fine.

You could also go with an ac20 with any of the shadow hawks except the one with energy hard points in that torso of course. Shawks with more than one ballistic slot can be used for smaller multiples of ballistics. I've found its hard to make use of all the hard points with the weapons I want so I have to decide which is going to be my primary weapon system. You can't use acs and boat missiles for instance. Not effectively anyway

I don't have Gray Death specifically, but I've played a bunch of Shadowhawks. Something like this should serve you well for close range brawling.

This one could be nice for higher dps

Or for sniping...

(not using 280 XL even though it's the same weight because some mechs cap at 275 engines, so the 275 is generally a better engine to own unless you have cash to spare)

EDIT: Hell, if you fancy LRMs:
