The Adder currently suffers from the problem of many mechs: protruding center torsos. For that reason I'd like to propose a buff to the Adder in the form of a slight change to the model and hitboxes.

Proposed change:

I'd rather have PGI remove the hood, and make a Cougar out of it. :P





Actually I really want higher cockpit for the Archer.

I would much prefer a hitbox change tbh, its geometry is close enough to original artwork and Lore appearances, but its hitbox is horrid.

It literally is impossible to shield the CT from any angle.

The Adder is my favorite mech. Any buff to it would be outstanding. The main thing I would like to see is more of the CT counted as Side Torsos, and jump jets.

The Adder would be my main mech if I had the option of adding jump jets to her. The Pouncer, which is an Adder beefed up by 5 tons, has 4 fixed JJ. I doubt there is a huge clamour for the Pouncer to be released, so offering an additional Adder variant which has JJ equipped ST would be a nice compromise.

An ECM head omnipod would just be icing on the cake.

And then we all propose various buffs to our personal, favorite mechs to make them harder to kill, or generally better..................

PLEASE DON'T MESS WITH MY ADDER! It's my most favorite mech in the game, and it's perfect the way it is.

the dire adder is a death machine that i really dont think needs modification for survivability. it can just kill anything that scares it.

Its getting bad when proposing a change that entirely removes the center torso from a mech isn't totally exaggerating it.

I wouldn't say no to more armor/structure buffs, but I can't say I think the Adder is under performing. It's still probably the best platform for dual ER PPC.

The only things the Adder needs are targets and ammo.

I found the adder with a UAC/20 and two ER-Med lasers to be quite the monster. I think it's fine where it is to be honest.
