Just wondering if anyone could share their best mechs for this challenge. Thanks!

[Sader325]

SRM 36+A maddog

[Cupid and Psyche _]

Any mech that you can do consistently well in is the best. I have been using the Thunderwub TDR- 5SS, StreakDog, Hellbringer, and my Arrow.

[Kodyn]

Laser vomit crow, though if I had a clan heavy or Dire I would be using those, they seem to be the most consistently hitting the mark.

Oh how I wish as I was selling Timbers as I leveled them I had hurried to get the third, or kept one of the other two...

[Blue Hymn]

Commando 1B.
3ml, 1srm4.

I'll make it happen.

[L3mming2]

if u want to get 400+ maches (but not to conpeed in leaderboard as it will run out of ammo at +/- a 1000 damage max ) the MAL-1R with a 4uac5 loadout

[Davegt27]

I wish I knew

I am scared to take my TWs’ out for fear of the nerf bat

I been leveling my Ice Ferrets’ which are pretty fun but my goal is just to play until I get the daily XP bonus

I can zip around the battle field in the Ice Ferret which is pretty fun until I get pounded to never never land

I also bought an executioner which is a nightmarishly bad slow Mech

Pretty much anything to counter the meta... which is still meta.

There's no real way of avoiding this reality.

[Evan20k]

ENF-5P.


...No seriously, nobody will shoot at you with all the SCRs/TBRs/DWFs running around leaving you free to dakka people's faces off.

The primary participants in my matches have been; direwolf, madcant. Ebon jag, stormcrow, artic cheats.
I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of IS mechs, although mostly ECM cataphract and griffin. Some unusual reoccurring mechs last night included wolverine quarantine and bj-1x; not sure why but I seemed to see one a match.

Edit: I noted those steaks because I was running a wolverine and a blackjack most of my games.

[Wildstreak]

So far to get 400+:
LRM Hunchback-4J
SRM Hunchback-4SP
Laser Hunchback-4P
once LRM20 + 3ML Shadow Cat

What has not worked that I tried:
Centurions
one Ice Ferret I own
Griffins

Need to redo my Nova.

I am sticking to Mediums, Lights don't score enough for me and the other 2 weights are clogged.

Seeing lots of LRM boats.

Depends on your weapon preference, build and MASC use.

Laservomit stormcrow. You get quick games because of the low population of mediums yet benefit from a high alpha.

Correct answer.


My Cheetah failed to get 400 points, so I built a DakkaWhale (purposely not Dual Gauss) to farm damage.
It has not yet failed to get 400 points. What a nice easy button.


Although I did discover something disturbing...I hadn't used this variant in Months...and it had over 10 points of rear armour *gasp*
I was horrified.

[SolCrusher]

Bah I give up, I can't do enough damage. I'm too efficient at killing my kills.

[MoonUnitBeta]

4uac mauler with some lasers and junk. I've only gotten below 400 once, and that's only because I was positioned poorly.




And I've only played four matches so far...

How I play it is basically Large laser for long reaches. Med lasers for lights or moving targets that are in/out of cover and can't land a clear shot on. UAC/5's and everything else when you want to blow the brains out of things.
I have coolshots to help. I don't use them often at all.
Only 18 armor (was 10) on arms because it's rare they get removed. They do fall off sometimes, but if they do, it's not that big of a loss. usually you lose a torso before an arm anyways, so..

Finally, my DDC works....... LOL bring out the old school when it's raining LRMS.

[Col Jaime Wolf]

6x Ultra AC Dire whale, easily break 400 almost every match

The mechs I am seeing consistently over 300 are the Maulers. Not even the Arctic Cheater is doing it in this event.
