To keep it short, I had planned to eventually get Resistance 1 up to the Grasshopper level. However now I'm questioning if it is worth it to upgrade to the Zeus package.

Generally don't play a lot of Assaults but if you factor in one months premium time upgrade over the grasshopper package being $12 value by itself the evil PGI is tempting me with their wily ways.

Zeus. Worth it or not?

[Nathan Foxbane]

Yes. The Zeus is a tanky, XL friendly assault that plays it like a heavy. It is the only one of my many assault 'Mechs that I actually like to pilot. Get the Zeus, if only to dull the pain of piloting a Grasshopper. There is a good reason you see more Zeuses in game than Grasshoppers.

Yeah, Zues and Grasshopper are my favorites from that pack. If you like meta style builds the Resistance Zues variant does LLs and Gauss real well. The other two are okay but not quite as "me" as the 6S is.

And if you do like an XL 350, it feels more like a heavy at 78 kph.

The Zeus is worth its weight in mini gold TBR's....

If its all that's holding you back then what the heck are you waiting for man!!?!!

Personally I love my Zeus'. I find them to be quite powerful in the right situations.

The fact that I just bought the full Clan wave 1 like a week ago lol. But I want to get the max c-bills with the event this week and was planning on getting them eventually, so this just gives me an excuse to grind them and master them. Plus she's gone for ten days so as long as she doesn't find out...

Thanks for the advice guys. I took the plunge.

Zeus is OK, but I don't love it. I like it enough to be using it for the event. It's serviceable and it's possibly the best 80 tonner for the IS (Awesomes have a corner they cry in, and the Victor is nothing like it once was before).
