I can do that in my Catapult K2 with dual ER PPC and dual LL/LPL/ERLL JJ is not a big deal, damage is what we want!

I am right now trying out my HBK-IIC (I love it) and I decided to use its laser vomit variant. Didn't like its stock loadout so I armed it instead with 2 ERPPCs and an ER Large Laser and holy **** it does great. Currently averaging around 600dmg a match with 2-3 kills. Really good for sniper maps because the PPCs are mounted up high so I don't have to expose much of my mech to hit people.

I used the standard vomit build for leveling it up (2 large somethings and 6 medium somethings).

However, you can get GREAT heat efficiency by loading 2 ERPPCs for long range and an army of Small or Small Pulse Lasers for any engagements within 200m. The Small (Pulse) Lasers are very heat efficient and can provide nearly-sustained damage output at close range. Better for self-defense than the loadout you suggested... But everyone likes their own flavor.

Yup that's what I run.

Ultimately the choice between SL and SPL depends on whether you want more engine or more firepower.

8SPL, biggest STD engine, Jump Jets, max armor, and as many DHS as you can.

Partyback IIC, touche.

I love the thing.

Catapult is just 4 times larger, and has a center torso of death lol Also those aren't Clan PPC's so... they have a minimum range.

Not if they have ER in front of them....


Best loadout i have found is 1 LPL and 3 Er meds or 2 Er Meds and 2x UA/C10's.


ERPPCs are just too hot still IMO.

I love the IIC(O), but yeah, I struggled with the all E IIC-A too. I tried ER PPCs and LPLs, it just ended up being too bloody hot. I think I ended up going with like 6 ER MLs and just packing every inch of available space with DHS, AMS, and a TC1. The A is not exactly my favorite of the bunch.

[The Lobsters]

2 x LPL, 2 x MPL, xl275, 3 x JJ, no arms, everything else DHS.

U haven't played it much in the near past? Now it's tanky like a Stalker cause of hitbox changes and it will get a rescale really soon.

So far I really dislike the IIC-A.

For me though the best rigging I've found is 2 LPL and 6 ML with the stock engine.

I'm staring at that image wondering when you realize that image will apply to you when you find out that 2 PPC 2 ER large is an invalid build on the K2 since two of its energy points are ct bound.

Best to stack a IIC with it's heavy weapons in one of it's torsos. You'll be more combat effective if you are good at twisting.

I love my HBK-IIC. Even if it isn't my HBK-4P.
