I am primarily a Dire Wolf pilot. I love this mech, but am getting bored with my current loadout. I have been running it for months, every time I change something, it under performs. I'd like to spice things up so am coming here for inspiration. My current loadout is as follows:

4 UAC 5
6 Er Small Lasers
2 Lrm 10
2 Double Heat Sinks
TARGET computer 1
10 tons of UAC 5 ammo
3 tons of Lrm Ammo.

RADAR derp module
ER Small Laser range 5 module
ER Small laser cooldown 5 module
Uac5 range 5 module

Disclaimer: I hate gauss rifles, and I'm looking for something non meta and totally off the wall. Go!

Wow,

Thats a pretty good build for a Whale. I call it a Righteous build cause it does a little of everything.

I run 2 Uac10's
2 Uac5's
2 ermids as backup.

Modules -
Derp
Uac 5 and 10 cooldown, if it was mastered i would put in uac 10 range as well.

Seeing as I dont seem to live too long in a Whale I have 6 tons UAC10 ammo and 5 tons UAC5 with a TC1. I run JJ too.

Might be less ammo, cant remember fully as I rarely use it, Atlas is more fun and mobile. When I have opened up with it I managed to take down a Jeager with full alpha and double tap on the Uac's. Got melted very quickly after that but was fun none the less.

don't claim it's Meta, but when I DWF, this is my loadout
DWF-W
but truth to tell, I prefer my 2xERPPC/1xUAC20 Warhawk.

LRM 10, 15 and 20 are without artemis are garbage.

LRM 10, 15 and 20 with artemis are also garbage.

Your build lacks consistency in range.

Based on the hardpoints you've used, if you were INSISTING on pulling off a direwolf build like this the proper way to do it would be:

Not to be clear, I'm not even saying this direwolf should be run. I'm only saying that if you intend to defile your mech with a build like that, than atleast make sure all your weapons have the same effective range.

With a build like this you can ensure that all your weapons can be brought to bear on your target at the same range and be fully effective. Instead of w/e that abomination you're driving does.

Nice Build OP. Suppressing fire untill getting close range if i understand correctly.

[LordNothing]

current build is lb60 because reasons.

regarding op build its interesting to see someone doing a mixed build on what is usually a boating platform.

Alt. Config. X

This variant carries a Targeting Computer to guide the fire of a Large Pulse Laser, Heavy Medium Laser, twin ER Micro Lasers, an Ultra AC/10 and the solid shot of an LB 5-X autocannon. To provide missile support, the Daishi X carries an ATM 6 with a ton of each ammunition type, a head mounted Streak SRM-2, and an SRM-4 and LRM-15. The SRM-4 and LRM-15 are each equipped with an Artemis IV FCS. BV (2.0) = 2,645

[XxXAbsolutZeroXxX]

This is a build I've never tried but if I was bored I might take it out for a spin.

-4 ER large lasers
-2 UAC5 with 4 tons ammo
-6 small lasers
-2 streak srm4 with 1 ton ammo
-targeting computer mk 1
-clan active probe

[Yozzman]

4x UAC10...

[Karl Streiger]

The Dire Whales are great mixed chassis.... but people are running them in booring daka daka build because they don't want to aim properly - just spray and pray. Those guys really need a AA Gun crew simulator for WW2 warships (not the warship as a whole they only could control a single Bofors)

Gauss rifles arent meta and havent been since they were nerfed, why do you have that much ammo for those uacs, why are you even bringing lrms, why are you wasting your modules on the small lasers.

If you want to keep your smalls use uac10 spam not uac 5.


do 2x uac10 2x uac5 6x small laser.

I have a Direwolf that utilizes 6 weapon groups It's bloody ridiculous, but soooo fun to play. One of my favorite assault mechs

actually they use the dakka whale because its the best build. they know how to shoot believe me.

[Fox With A Shotgun]

Well, in the event that you want some laughs at the expense of cheesing your enemies...

TCOMP V
2 ERPPC
2 Gauss

All of this is on one side. Use one side as a deadside for a shield while you cool off. Shot grouping is always tight regardless of distance due to all the weapons being clustered very close together.

[radiv]

I run:
2 uac10
2uac5
6small lasers
tc1

[Serus Angel]

Right now, I'm using a triple Large Pulse Laser and 2 Gauss Rifle build with TarComp I. Don't think its really all that Meta, but it is rather satisfying when you nail someone to the wall at range with those Large Pulses (Ghost Heat is a pain though if you fire them together too often).

Here we go. Classy 4xUAC10 6xCERSL (alpha double tap for 80 damage when needed, usually shot in pairs, 6 CERSL for added damage or solid sidearm once ammo is depleted. you could drop the six CERSL for more ammo and a TC.

DWF-PRIME 4xUAC10 6xCERSL


Another classic:

2xUAC10 3xUAC5 can alpha without ghost heat, relatively heat friendly and crapload of dps/suppressing fire. i do love it, but no shooting at fast targets at range. even with 1500ish potential damage, take care with different UAC10 UAC5 muzzle velocity.

DWF-PRIME 2xUAC10 3xUAC5

A less common one:

3xUAC20. chainfire all the day. i did put the pair in the arms in group2 to take some hot snapshots when someone fast is standing still and you want to punish him.

DWF-PRIME 3xUAC20

this is a prototype:

2xUAC10 4xCERMPL 1xCERLPL

this mix decent laservomit with the suppressing ability of 2UAC10. built to be cooler than pure alpha builds.

DWF-PRIME 2xUAC10 4xCERMPL 1xCERLPL

These are my scrublord Dire Wolf builds. I cannot vouch for their effectiveness in the meta-verse. I enjoy them though.

(Note: Using CAC10 instead of CUAC10 because the CUAC10 weapon geometry is too ugly. CAC10 is blatantly inferior, but looks better.)
