Who here is like me and has one weapon that just is the go to?

I love the AC/10 and I have ever since the very first Mechwarrior title I ever played. I know most folks think it's substandard but I want at least one if I can get it, and two are better. Because I have primarily carried at least one for awhile, I find that I can hit things at range and moving that I can't with uAC/5 or AC/5, or especially AC/20. The 20 has too much weight and heat for my taste and cycles slower than two AC/10. I've packed it on several different mechs and even tried them in the dark early days riding a Jagermech when I had no clue what I was doing. If it had a sound that didn't sound like a .22, it would be about perfect.

I like the uAC/5 and AC/5 next best when paired with SRM6. Fun load out for 55 tonners with mixed hard points .

So, what's your favorite? I'm guessing it's some sort of laser for most of you all.

[dervishx5]

I am my favorite weapon.

[Pariah Devalis]

I love the Gauss and Clan ERPPC. I always have. Even if MWO is trying like hell to make me dislike them, I still love them both.

[Rhent]

Single best weapon in the game is LPL hands down, no questions asked. The PPC is garbage unless its in a mech that overquirks the PPC to the point where its usable again.

It goes more into weapon combos:
AC/10 + LL
or
UAC/5 + Flamers
or
LRM 15 + ERLL

[Lugh]

All MW titles? The ER PPC.

MWO, currently the UAC 10 and miscellaneous supporting cast.

I always feel dirty doing the Dual Gauss loadouts, but that never gets me high match scores as it's so pinpoint it kills very easily.

If the PPCs had velocity = 1620m/s so they could at least trade with lasers at max range they'd be my favorite.

[VirtualSmitty]

I also like the AC10. I've been using it forever, very underrated.

[FupDup]

Clan Large Pulse Laser.

Ultimate generalist weapon that can perform at least adequately or better in almost any situation. Tonnage is low enough to be mounted on the majority of mechs and it has enough range to be good fire-support while also being usable (but not necessarily optimal) in closer ranges.

I wish I could be more original, but I kind of like the medium laser.

I also like the AC/10 though, run it in both a Shadow Hawk and a Wolverine.

[ColdPsyker1]

favorite weapon?

CUAC 20
CERPPC

the sound effects alone are enough for me to love shooting them

Though since I am currently using the MW2 sound effects for all my guns, probably

dual UAC2 adder

because nothing screams dakka more than that rate of fire

It's a toss up.

Probably across the board, with the exception of MW2? PPCs in all their flavors.

TT, Crescent Hawks, MW3 and 4, MWO? I use the heck out of PPC. MW2 PPCs were probably the one bad thing about the series, lol.

But I find in MWO I am an AC guy, first, PPC guy second. Give me a mobile mech with an AC10 or an AC20 (or 2!) and I tend to be VERY happy.

My Goto Mechs are my HBK-4G(F) with AC20, 3xMlasers and a CN9-D packing an AC10, 2xMlasers, 2xSRM4.

And any heavy or assault mech I can pack 2x AC10 into? DONE.

[GonaDie]

Clan SRMs and bouth, IS and Clan Medium Lasers

Back in MW4, my favs were CERPPC and CLRMs.

[El Bandito]

I am an equal opportunity lover. LRMs, Dakka, Lasers... I use them all in CW, or solo queue and get equal satisfaction.

As long as the weapons are not blatantly bad, such as LBX and MGs, I like to use all of them.

[LowSubmarino]

The IS er large laser and the clan gauss.

Those weapons are precise, awesome, devastating, fantastic, sexy, loving, tender and great.

[Cyborne Elemental]

Dual AC-20 / C-UAC-10.

Anything that goes, bang bang.

[sycocys]

srm4 + srm6/a either or depending on available tonnage.

[LegendaryArticuno]

Large pulse laser.

[cazidin]

Large Pulse Laser, UAC/5 and SRMs.

[SkaerKrow]

The AC/2, or more specifically, four or more AC/2s. It's not meta, it can get you killed through too much face time on target, but I find that very few players are prepared for that much DPM being thrown at them.

[N a p e s]

IS AC20 all the way and especially on a Hunchback 4G.

[Luminis]

IS AC10, by far. Big pin-point punch, excellent range for PUG use, nice DPS and all... Yeah, it's a good weapon system in terms of usage.

But the big thing, for me, is the sound. BOOOM! You just know that dumping those twin AC10 shots into some poor soul is going to hurt. A lot.
