You know the one. You're having a really crap run of games with sub-200 damage/2 assists/etc, so you pull out the mech that you barely even have to try to win, let alone score well with. Mine is my Quad PPC WHK-Prime for when I absolutely need CBills or KMDDs for a challenge.

Pictured: More KMDDs in one game than the entire rest of today's play session.

What's your easymode mech?

Boar's Head, 4 LPL, 2 MPL, crap-load of heat sinks, murders everything with great arm range \m/ broke 1k damage many times on it, got my Johnny 5 achievement with it, etc.

Back in the poptart days it used to be my TBR with 2 CERPPC + 3 CERML.
For the laser vomit pre-Dec patch it was EBJ with 2 CLPL + 4 CERML.
Currently it's the BJ-3 with 3 LPL.

Since I usually am trying to basic new mechs, crappy variants, or just like to play Awesomes, Hunchies, Commandos and Locusts....basically anything close to a meta mech works.

When I pull out my Timberwolves or anything laservomit I feel like I just hit a "easier mode" button

Build? I've been struggling to find a good EXE build that I'm not just better off playing my WHK with.

Gold Nova.

That's right. Bad days = play the gold mech. Watch as everybody ignores it, and rake in 700+ damage without hardly trying.

HBK-4G
It's not a cheap "I win" button, but it is fun.

Timber usually. I can get almost as good performance out of my IS mechs most days, but when I hit a slump, or have been leveling mechs and tier is sliding, Timby is the surefire way to fix it. No matter what else they add to this game, they still haven't made the Timber not my best mech yet, it's still an easy button, and I kinda hope that never changes.

MASC isn't a problem for me. I love it to death.
Where do you place your gauss rifle? If you put it on the high mount, you lose all your guns if it explodes which is why I opt for the dual LPL+Gauss build with the gauss in the hand..

LA Gauss

RA 4 ERML

Enjoy!

EDIT: Or you could just sub to my channel and have EZ access to all the builds I play. ;-)

JM6-"Dakka Dakka" with 6 AC/2's. It's not a great mech but it can dish out enough damage and DPS for a couple of KMDD per game.

That or the Atlas-S with a typical AC/20 + 4x SRM6 build. Started using that just a few weeks ago and wow! I just fell in love with that thing.

My KGC-000B is like a reliable old pickup truck: it may not be the most spectacular thing out there, but it'll get the job done when you need it to. You can't go wrong with a whole lotta dakka.

Plus it looks good in orange:

Hellbringer with 4x erML and either a UAC20 or 2x UAC5 instantly gets me back on the wagon.

Mauler IS side, that thing is beastly. It definitely lives up to its name most games.

Clan side I'm not too sure lately. Used to be my Timber or DWF. Well OK, I guess DWF still, but I haven't run my Timber in forever.
