I want to share a HBK-4J loadout that I've found surprisingly effective. Note that I'm a noob and don't even have a single module yet (nor any mech skills beyond the basic ones), so I expect it'll also work for other new players. How effective, you might ask? See for yourself!
And here's the loadout I came up with.
Thoughts?
P. S. The first mech I ever purchased was HBK-4P - on advice from some video for beginners. Hated it then, and still hate (albeit a bit less). Then I got 4G because AC/20 looked like fun. And it is, 4G is much better, but it's not a mech that terrifies enemies (certainly not with the myopic range of AC/20). And when I got 4J I was so happy to finally find a HBK that works, having made my first two purchases not a complete waste (I'll use them for leveling up). So yes, I do call 4J the best of the family, although 4SP might just give it a run for its money after all.
