4x UAC/5?

Try it out sometime, it's awesome.



I've been getting 600+ games with them, highest damage ever was 841.

Dakka maulers are certainly terrifying....

I group them so that I double tap on the third click everytime.

So here's how it's setup:

1:1 1:2 4:3

1 uac for group one, another for group 2, and all 4 for the third group.

Click 1,2, and then three in succession, and repeat.

After doing so twice, you can just hit the group three for auto dakka

That looks more like how I imagine an Awesome, or else it looks like a templar or something..w/o the missiles, it doesnt look like a Mauler at all.

Yep that's what everyone said at the start when it was shown.

RIP awesome 3d model

The MX-90 with 6 AC2's, 2 medium lasers and 7 1/2 tons of ammo has been my favorite

[Speedy Plysitkos]

Playing that since day 1 Mauler.

I got max 1004 from 1050 maximum possible damage. (210 rounds)



My maximum (7) kills in a game was also with this. Its demolisher.

Does it better than a crab just about

[Yellonet]

Yeah, I'm using that now and then, but I keep a ML on each arm as backup and to keep it from looking like an amputee

[Coolant]

It's a good mech that takes punishment, a little slow, and horrid torso twist though. King Crab does ballistics better.

Does ballistics just as good. Have you tried out 4ac2 2uac5 xl280 on the MX-90 yet? Its really good.

Running an XL in an Assault is a bad idea. You can run a King Crab w/ 4 UAC/5's + 2ML + 300+ rounds of UAC/5 ammo with a standard engine and not blow up when you lose a torso.

The only advantage the Mauler has is it has higher ballistic mounts, however that is countered by the KGC's arm mounts being able to fire higher and lower and its very low profile.

A Mauler is better off using its ballistics w/ its energy mounts to rack up the damage than running an XL.

I know what the King Crab can do. I have the very same uac build. If you dont believe me test it yourself. Im telling you it is good. Every single Mauler I have is xl and I am very successful with each build. 2 large 4ac5 xl300 on the R variant. 2 PPC 2 Gauss 2 med on the 1P. 6 large 2 uac5 on the 2P. 4ac2 2 uac5 on the MX-90.

The 4 uac5 build on the Mauler is good too im sure. A STD engine is nice, but there is nothing wrong with an xl Maurader, just make sure you bring the firepower to bear.

It's not a Mauler unless it has LRMs, you savages.

Nah, LRMs are not so great on the thing.

For some reason... it's like they wanted you to use Ballistics on the thing...

Save for the one with 6 hardpoints. I put LRM 14+ArtemisX2, 6 MGs and 2 larges... I regret doing that.

I've been enjoying that one too. Mostly because of the ridiculousness of ac2s actually being a somewhat viable weapon on at least 1 mech in the game.
