I have a hunchie 4P. I want to have a setup of lasers as such.

x=large lasers
o=small lasers

what I want

xx
xo
oo

in the hunch that is. that config allows for corner looking and ridge hiding for sniping.

I tried loading the hunch this way:

LL
LL
LL
SL
SL
SL

got this result:

xo
xo
xo

notice all the LL are to the right side of the hunch. cool

so I tried this:

LL
LL
SL
LL
SL
SL

that should be 2 LL on top 1 ll and 1 small middle and 2 small bottom.

but that is not what I get.

I get some random mix of where the lasers mount unless I go:

xo
xo
xo

which is mounting them as such:

LL
LL
LL
SL
SL
SL

which mounts them all to the right side of the hump.

any ideas as how I can config the hump to carry the lasers in the order I want?

tried mounting them in different orders to try and rearrange them but the only one that seems to work is the right side loaded hump.

???

have you tried all the smalls first then add the larges?

Good luck, this is an old, old bug.

That last link has a workaround; sadly it involves selling off your weapons (at 10% of purchase price) and re-buying them.

I don't think you can affect what goes where very much.
The placement of some guns is a bit funky...

is how it goes for me - read the numbers like the hunch
other mechs may go from bottom to top

All mechs behave rather different from each other when this happens...

There was a bug where old weapons got put on last....new ones first. I think that has been fixed but it might be what you are experiencing.

Stjobe has the right idea...

I really hope one day they'll allow us to somehow specify which hardpoint each weapon physically goes into as we see fit

Like having them numbered?

Just let me put what i want in Slot 1,2,3,4, etc....just silly.

This isn't a hard fix, or a hard to see issue. If you dont spend 10 minutes figuring out HOW they go in they just go wherever and that's silly to me.

I forget you can "SMURFY" mechs in the store now...

Kudos Andi, well done.

That actually worked 8)

but where do you get the weapons placement order in the mech lab?

I dont think its listed...just try adding the lasers in yourself and take a look at the mech. Try with one, then two, then three, save each time and check it out under the camo tab.
