I am missing the following. I have enough c-bills to buy one but possibly more by the end of the sale.

AWS-8T, AWS-8V, STK-5M, ZEU-6T, ZEU-9S2, AS7-K.


This is for my pokemech addiction. I already have the best variants of the chassis.

Sure you know, either of the zusses will do. Underrated mech, even after its upscale. Its in the right spot now IMO. Good hitboxes, agile and nice tanking possibilites, some brawling and definately zombi mode if everything else goes wrong Devestating builds on those two mentioned in your post. No doubt.

Was about to suggest Banshees, my favs but oh well

I like stalkers because they have the smallest front hit area of all the assaults.
People often shoot the bigger assault next to you first ;-p

wait for the marauder IIC to be available for C bills. The look very interesting, Jump jets and ECM variants, symmetrical and asymmetrical builds are possible.

Out of the ones I tried the Highlanders were the most fun (not necessarily the best). Beware they have highly asymmetrical loadouts. might be a deal breaker for some.

@Pilotasso: I have all the Highlanders and Highlander IICs.

[Pilotasso]

gotta get them all heh?

Zeus 6t. 3x. Asrm6s is fun. Plus added bonus of looking like you punched an urbie and now wear it as a glove.

[Lyoto Machida]

Cross the Atlas K off your list...garbage.

[Monkey Lover]

Lol down to the bottom of the barrel.

Stk 5m with 5* srm6 + 5*mpl is a fun build.but very hot.

Victor!

To take advantage of the sale buy the most expensive of them. So As7-K i guess... Unless one of the others comes with a XL engine stock ofc.

[Novakaine]

Go Stalker 5M so versatile.

AtlasK was the 2nd mech I bought.
I kept it for nostalgic reasons.
Beyond that it is a total POS

AS7-K is terrible. And the TS probably has plenty of XL300s. I guess that's one good reason to buy one though...

Before I get [REDACTED] for trying to calm down a situation, I just want to say that you should get one of those missile Awesomes because combining the worst assault mech with the worst weapon creates some sort of gaming singularity.

Yep, it's 100 tons of garbage. But since it's for pokemech purposes, i guess the OP is going to buy all of them sooner or later. So, to save some c-bills start buying the more expensive toys while they are on sale, and leave the cheaper ones for later.

Based on the mech without considering the money i'd take in this order the Zeus (right arm fully loaded with srms, med pulses in the torso and large pulse or ppc in the left arm), stalker (good hitboxes and with 5 missile hardpoints a decent lrm/srm boat), aws-8t (4 energy weapons in the arms with 2 missile backups in the torsos).

STK-5M. First mech I got my Ace of Spades with.

If you look at it that way, I'd have to agree.

And who am I to judge really? I bought and mastered the K before the wipe and bought it again after...
