Yup.

2 LRM5s and 2 LRM10s.

[Gen82]

Well honestly I don't know what to do with mine ...

[mogs01gt]

I've been running mine with LRMs

[Scout Derek]

'sees people calling LRM Blackjacks bad'



Yeah, those LRM Blackjacks are potatoes and bad players! Shame on them!

'shoves LRM Blackjack under a nearby table with my foot'

[Tier5 Kerensky]

Was it me? I also had a tag too. I only have other IS mech so I used the weapons I have. And I have no extra XL engines, so I don't know how to build it with STD 160 or 180 engines which I have. It really sucks as I have Archer stock engine XL 240 but it's too big to fit.

[JediPanther]

I haven't seen one yet. i'd imagine seeing one would be like seeing the jager with missiles instead of gun barrels. You'd look at it in confusion before realizing that they do have a missile variant.

[Gen82]

Well I got looks when I tried out an LRM Jenner IIC ... but its so little tonnage so why care? If you lose because of that perhaps you should perform better (besides, I normally did between 1 kill 300 dmg and a max of 550).

So, LRM blackjack. Go for it.

I honestly think that this loyalty variant is kind of bad. Of course i haven't really tried mine, but i just couldn't find a build that works. I was thinking of a 4x LRM5 + 2x ER LL for long range fire support.

[Dee Eight]

The point to loyalty variants isn't to be P2W...its to introduce variants folks asked about.

I suppose. I'd sell mine if it's just not a limited edition.

I remember when people really wanted the BJ-2 in game...

Was that when they were all buffed to wazoo and folks just figured the one with the missile hardpoints would receive similar treatment ?

[Bombast]

Well, what else are they supposed to do?

• Turn Rate +20%
• Torso Turn Rate (Yaw) +30%
• Structure Bonus (CT) +7
• Structure Bonus (LT/RT) +6
• Structure Bonus (LL/RL) +6
• Energy Cooldown +10%
• S-SRM2 Cooldown +10%
• Energy Range +5%
• Missile Velocity +10%

Equip Streaks?

Nah, sometimes you've been playing too long and just need some dumb-build-lulz.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

Dang, I haven't even looked at the quirks.

[AnTi90d]

I thought about emailing support because they will remove unsellable mechs from your inventory and leave you with an empty mechbay..

..but then I thought that maybe, one day.. just maybe.. MRMs might be invented in MWO.

I'd run the hell out of that BJ if they gib'd me MRMs.

Haven't touched my BJ-2...thanks for the idea.

• S-SRM2 Cooldown +10%

SPLs to take advantage of that 5% Energy Range, obviously.

[Bombast]

Hey guys, I think I have a good alternative to carrying LRMs.



Boat Streaks to take advantage of those awesome quirks. BAP to cut through ECM, along with TAGs. Double TAGs, of course, just to be safe - If you lose an arm, it could really screw you up.

I was considering switching a Streak out with a NARC to really improve those lock ons, but I think that would be a bit much. Where's the fun if there isn't any challenge?
