Archer goes live in two weeks! What type of quirks would you like to see?

Personally, I'm hoping for significant powercreep in order to shake up the meta.

I.e. +Ammo quirks that currently no other mech has and high +CT/ST quirks

Missle cooldown -50%
Missle heatgen -20%
Missle range +20%
Missle velocity +60%
Rage 9001%

Hmmm...maybe some LRM velocity and MLas range? And some structure depending on it's hitboxes. Ohh, and some general missile cooldown.

Hoping for some reasonable structure quirks and above average general missile cooldown/heat gen quirks. I'm very excited for this one, i've been playing a pseudo Archer with one of my Warhammers, i'm ready.

[PyckenZot]

Hmm let's see,... not to overdo it,...

Missile cooldown -50%
Missile speed +50%
Missile heat -50%
Missile launcher weigth -75%
Missile weigth -75%
Missile ballistic arc increase +75%
Missile terrain penetration +100%

Chance to drop PH +100%

No to missile cooldown because all of IS LRM will compete with each others! Give it a decent, say, minus 20% to Missile Spread and add +15% to Missile Speed for good measure. Throw in some -30% to Lock Time (a new quirk) which stacks with Artemis.

Bishop actually wants it to be a vanilla Mech to fit the TT characteristic but I don't like Vanilla Mechs :/ Better to be strong in something and weak in others.

Missile Cooldown -10 or 20%
Missile Velocity + 10 to 15%
Missile Spread -5 or 10%
Missile Heat Generation -10 or 15%
General Structure Quirks, atleast for the side torso.
General agility quirks.
Maybe some energy quirks for the mixed loadout variants.

[LegendaryArticuno]

I feel like the way quirks are currently structured, there's not a lot of room for creativity.

Similar to the Rifleman being a lighter Jaggermech... Archer will just be a heavier Catapult... there are only a few mechs that have a unique identity, i.e. Atlas with a ton of structure quirks.

[MerryIguana]

AMS range and rof of course.

[VirtualRiot]

How about a crazy like, 30% missile range quirk. Would really make it a unique chassis and fit the theme methinks.
If your gonna do missile spread quirks, maybe 10% for lrm15 and 20 only. Also 10% missile heat get would be adequate.
Maybe like others said, a 10% energy range, and 10% mlas range

It already has a fudgeton of missile hardpoints, it does not need much in the way of quirks.

Oh Jeez I can't wait😈

Missile range does nothing for SRMs. Heat and cooldown are most important.

[DerMaulwurf]

LRM-20 specific quirks. To provide some incentive for super-stock loadouts.

[ReemusX]

Flamer cooldown

Wait...2 weeks? I thought March 15th was the day back when I ordered.

I wrote nothing about missile range.....

[Otto Cannon]

LRM heat gen and cooldown, with some ST structure would be nice. Maybe MLaser buffs in there if they need something else too.

Whew.... I was about to say....

With 9 missile hardpoints on one variant I would think there would be some heat quirks for LRMs/Missiles for that fact...and good heat numbers... It would make no sense NOT to with what it is going to be built for.

[Anyone00]

Can the LRM angle be quirked?
[Cue Flashbacks to when Artemis was first introduced]

[Monkey Lover]

Armor on the sides and srm quriks. I want a brawler not a lrm boat.
