The Rifleman ... high arm mounts ... hells its arms are the fracken weapons!!! out side of that maybe the Archer? a Designed missile boat that should come with a rear-view system so it can use its I3utt lasers.

Play the Jagermech for Rifleman experience. Same advantages and weaknesses. Jager gets 5 more tons to play with.

No love for the archer and its butt lasers?

All rear lasers just get turned into front hardpoints. I'm looking forward to the all-front-firing Archer though.

Rifleman IIC... yeah... insta buy for pretty much anyone out there.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! *throws cash at PGI*

There never was a DOA mech to begin with.

[SgtMagor]

the Mektek Rifleman was a sweet ride.

[Pika]

The cockpit in that thing always made me feel so exposed. Like the Captaphract only worse 'cause you can't miss it.

Man, I miss the MekTek Packs~

I like the Rifleman, but that radar dish...wow. No matter how it is getting divided up, it will be a big target.

The Mektek version seems a bit better as far as the dish is concerned, but it also looks like the ugly offspring of a Mad Dog and a Black Jack

Then wear more clothes ... they never said you had to pilot your mech naked.

Try gettin' real balistics on that thing...

I think Riflemans are energy mechs and not ballistics.

Note, stand corrected, arms are energy and ballistics. 2 LLasers and 2 A/C5s (with MLasers torso)

Most pilots would wear nothing but their undies and a cooling vest....Clothing on the lady pilots didnt leave much for the imagination when they exited their mech.

That's half of my offensive load out right there. If they can see me sat in the pit they might not want to aim at it.

Like a poor man's ECM.

It's basically a poor man's Firebrand with less tonnage. Even then, high mounts will at least make it pug-worthy, even if outclassed in many other regards by other robots.

If only I could equip JJs on my Wubhawk as it's lore for Omnimechs, I'd show you where your god is .
(btw a 65 tonner with 4xLPL and JJs: lol speed, lol armor, lol heat)

Plus, the Rifleman IIC is ridiculously ugly compared to:

Go play the Firebrand and have the same thing with more armor and tonnage to work with. Seriously I will be really disappointed if the next mech available is a Rifleman, because then we have to wait that much longer to get something interesting.

Even the mechlab can't save mechs like the Spider 5V.
