Or ACH / EBJ / HBR / TBR

That is sexy...

i guess this will be the final dropdeck beside of the TBR/TBR/HBR/MLX - last is a simple filler never concidered to be played within 30min.

Rreally??? Thank god I was hoping someone was going to point out something I missed so 25 tons with max armor?

Yep IS FF is 1.12x points per ton, Clan FF is 1.2x points per ton.

[Nori Silverrage]

I will probably try: ACH/EBJ/HBR/TBR
Thinking that'll probably be a really common one. TBR for the hard hitting survivable, HBR for the heavy ECM, EBJ as the heavy hitter and ACH as a light ECM, harasser etc..

It's gonna be tough since there will be so many contenders in the 55-75 range now.
If the shadowcat is any good you might see a lot of Shadowcat/Shadowcat/TBR/TBR

Doubt it...more like TW/HBR/HBR/ACH = 235

EDIT: honestly, this: EBJ/HBR/HBR/SHC = 240

Not sure yet.

I only know that when I brought my Timber Wolf out during CW I was able to get so much out of that one mech that having two of them would be even better. The only thing stopping me was not having any competitive low ton options.


A proper 12 man will probably be divvying out specific decks to specific players, well if they are able to be that coordinated at least.

I already have a HGN, this is just a clan HGN...I already have the Cbills for 3 when they come out next year anyway.

[Smotty]

If only they would unlock the jump jets...

IS FF is heavier than Clan FF, so that throws things off slightly.

By my maths in SSW, it's got 25 tons of pod space to use (31 "effective" tons if you count the 16 hardwired DHS).

I'm expecting it to at least compare to the Peacedove at worst. On one hand it'll be tougher due to weight and hitboxes (humanoid) along with being able to hover, on the other hand it'll have less weapon space. It'll certainly beat the Gargles without question.

An MG locust beats the gargles, though I must say, ive seen an increase in it's use, seen atleast 4 in the last few days....

I figured either 2xLPL 6xERML or 8xMPL (2x4, don't say "But but but ghost heat")

[charov]

GR+3xER ML+7xER SL.

Versatile and able to deliver a bigger punch as it gets closer to the target. Heat shouldn't be a problem thanks to the GR.

That is a lot of ghost heat

[Gyrok]

Yeah GR + 5 ERML probably better...

[Ultimax]

At least one of my loadouts will be LB20 with 7 SPL or 7 Smalls.

[RedDevil]

I'm hoping this thing has better torso twisting than the Dire Wolf or you're not going to be able to do effective shielding between shots :/

Sacrifice the AC or the laser arm as a shield?

Gauss (and smaller) is the only thing that fits in the RT...though having an explosive holding 7 of your weapons isn't something very enjoyable.

Well... the Gauss Timber tends to run it that way (although, there are variations with the right arm). It is what it is though.

I usually play really conservative on a build like that at the start, and then if things get ugly I'd sacrifice the laser arm.

You lose a bit more than you do with a build like my old VTR-9S, but I'd still rather keep the LB20 than the lasers when push comes to shove.

[Samedi Wretch]

Does anyone know how many free slots are going to be in the EXE's right torso? I'd really love to put an LB20 in there, and pairing that with 2 SRM6's in the left arm. That seems like wishful thinking though because of the hardlocked heatsink.

It has 6 slots, largest it can fit is a Gauss.

LB20x needs to be in the arm.

[Samedi Wretch]

That's unfortunate but I appreciate the fast reply.

[Summon3r]

Personally praying for jj quirks before exc release maybe jump and not hover will help it a bit.... For the love of God just unlock at least the Dhs and consider unlocking endo in the clan lab. Regardless of that though there is a cpl builds I'm looking forward to try all dependant the location of the torso E hard points.
