[Hit the Deck]

You guessed it right, he's now a 90 kph Assault! His counterpart, the Kodiak, will arrive soon to join him in battle for the glory of the Clan Ghost Bear!

Do you like the new MASC? How about the Shadow Cat?

I'm curious too. I have executioners, but those looooooow arms drive me batty. MASC was good on them before though, in really curious to see how it is now.

Can't wait for my Spirit Bear

[pwnface]

Executioners were fine before, they are great now.

[Cyborne Elemental]

The quicker MASC refill rate & Speed makes a huge difference.

Tried my Wolverine earlier too, thing is a peekaboom master now

[Y E O N N E]

I dunno about the EXE, but my SHC is so fast now!

[Hit the Deck]

Don't forget to use the JJs because their jump distance depends on your running speed!

[CK16]

Eh the Executioner's JJ still act like Saturn V rockets lol...

[Deathlike]

Executioners can briefly run with the Timberwolves, and Shadowcats can actually run faster than a Mist Lynx.

Scats still suck, but at least they suck less now.

And this is a good thing?

[Summon3r]

would still like just a tad more torso twist on the EXE, that said the MASC refill rate is a god send

[SgtMagor]

thx for the heads up, forgot about the MASC update...

Good for EXEs and SCats, bad for Mist Lynxes.

[LegendaryArticuno]

Aren't the EXE's hardpoints all in the arms?

I played the trial once... lost an arm and lost 3/4th of my weapons

For the Scat yes (again, it won't ever really catch a Mist Lynx).

The Executioner is still rather limited, but useful... and it's not like you'd be able to field Direwolf level power due to tonnage constraints.

No they have omni pods for both Right and left torso with weapons, Both energy and ballistics



I have a couple of EXE's but have never used um as of yet.. anyone have some interesting builds? Really no idea what i wanna try on this thing

was thinking about loading up that 7 HP arm with 5 lasers and a pair of flamers, and ballistics in other slots to start..

Ran this build for a while in CW and in pubs, it does ok.. After the Heatcap/skilltree nerf, I switched to all Small lasers on the arms though, does pretty good for a laser boat.

See alot of people running a build similar to this, usually with Small lasers mixed in too.

So more useful Clan mechs on the same day they blanket nerfed IS.

Like telling your friend you are banging his girlfriend at his father's funeral.

Classic vomit runs well:

I use this sucker for brawling, and it does sometimes run out of UAC20 ammo even with 4 tons - especially in CW:
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...569259507a1c780

Also have this little number for an alternative brawler:
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...7bb53a3f1511b82 Or, alternatively for a slightly cooler, and longer reached version: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...da9ec4933f3308e

And, of course, you can always do this classic, too:

It isn't that it brings more firepower than a TBR. It's that it brings a whole hell of a lot more armor in which to protect that firepower, and can put it exactly where the enemy does not want it. Absolutely a great frontline assault mech. Now, if it could only torso twist worth a damn so as to take advantage of its humanoid hitboxes, the mech would be a fantastic ride. At least until the Kodiak gets here.

EXE-C(L)
