I may not have zeus, but let's consolidate our discussion, yes?

First match in my Hopper isn't that bad-- attracts a lot of fire, as I suspect.
Does anyone know whether it's not "huge" archetype anymore?

[CrushLibs]

should be a nice long range short range version

That looks incredible--- kind of regret not getting Zeus now.

[KraftySOT]

Tomorrow should be the movement archetype fix. As of right now its huge. I believe.

[Corbenik]

They said if not in this patch a day or two after in a hot fix for the archetype

Hmm. Very well-- Grasshopper's JJs will serve in its absense.

Say, Bishop-- got hitboxes for us yet?

[Dawnstealer]

Looking forward to both these mechs. I desperately want to find a viable CW build for the Zeus because I want an all Steiner mech drop deck.

5H, whatcha think?

Zeus-6S® came stripped, no engine, no weapons, no heat sinks. Only thing equipped is ammo. Don't even have the ones that were supposed to be on my mech in the inventory to equip it back up. Anyone else having this issue?

Did you try re selecting it...?

[Mirumoto Izanami]

Zues is...very XL friendly.


I'm holding off on the Hopper till they fix the movement. Also, i have no ideas what Im going to mount on it.

Had reload the game engine, which fixed it. Anyways, looking forward to the Zeus. Only assault mech I really want to play

I *think* I'm going to use a 350 and put all the ERLL in the torsos, then fill the thing with heat sinks. At least that's what I threw together on smurphy.

Indeed. I keep coming back to STD engines in the Hopper too.

Far more jazzed for the Zeus.

STD hopper, hmm? I'm going to wait for someone's hitbox demonstration first.

Zeus? XL-friendly? you must play a different mech, check again! I'm losing side torsos left and right!

Eh **** it-- 81kph was too sweet to resist. I'll report soon.

[Corbenik]

Btw idk if anyone noticed but the ® of the zeus has baby fins on the shoulders lol.

Reminds me-- I might do a surface area comparisson for the Zeus, some time soon.

[Alienized]

i tried around with the loadout on the ® variant of the zeus and it is XL friendly imho.
currently i use a XL350
weaponry: 1 SRM6, 1 1/2 tons of ammo, 3 large lasers (well, i had range + cooldown module unused ) + ac10
first battle with that setup got me 6 kills and 4 assists with over 600 damage
no time yet to play the other variants or the GHR at all

[Nayru]

This mech is actually kind of decent.

Color me surprised. AC/10 used to be AC/5 + UAC/5, but AC/10 fulfills about the same purpose, removes a lot of face time and frees up 5 tons for more heat sinks for maximum lasering action.

Consider it a pocket atlas.
