Welp, PGI can't save the Fafnirs against ANH-1X for dual Heavy Gauss-ing.

Well, at least Fafnirs relatively have higher mounts.

No skill hills have to ruin everything...Annihilator ftw!

Below minimum viability, refund request sent.

Yeah kinda stinks. Doesn't really set itself from the anni.

If the legs are that big they will need quirks.

Game play: long range snipers aim for legs, leg-em, move on and let the lights tear it apart.

ironically what I used to do to Annihilators in MW3

Why is the the crit change receiving varying from 10-25%?
Shouldn't that be static at 25% all around?

Seem like the ECM ones got the 25% change, the rest not. And 10%, thats nothing, 25% barely does anything might as well give it MG RoF.

...

The -25% is for the stock variants which come with HGauss because people will use those for HGauss builds (not..., the 5B variant would be the best but ANH-1X is already better quirked and can carry more medium lasers).

I do like the global heat quirk. Armor could be higher but if I can survive in a squishy Direwolf then I can survive in this (I hope).

As do Anni's BUT the cockpit just goes through the heavens!

[Nightbird]

I'm afraid the jet engines - which make the Fafnir faster - will also get shot at before the low cockpit can see the threat.

Should have better survival from hill-humping alone.

...and ECM makes you invisible in Puglandia, apparently.

Wrong comparison.

Vs Sleipnir. Thats the 2GH Assault.

Sleipnir's only advantage is its "agility". It has less armor and 2 medium lasers against the ANH-1X.

I can't compare them directly though because I don't have any Sleipnir.

[Nightbird]

Sleipnir's only chance against the Anni is long ranged fighting or a HS. I doubt either Sleipnir or Anni would have any trouble taking down a Fafnir when all are running 2HG builds though, just focus down a ST and then the other one while shielding your own STs.

[PocketYoda]

Another waste of money.. Luckily i hardly play anymore..

[meteorol]

lol.

Less armor quirks than the anni while easily having the worst hitboxes of any mechs in the game. Those side torsos are basically direwolf CTs glued to the fafnirs CT. The 5B had a shot a being comparable to the anni with heavy gauss if gets better quirks, buuuuut... it gets worse quirks all around.


Glad i saw this coming and didn't preorder, saved me the refund.

Tempted to say it's a piece of trash, but that would take things too far because it's still a 2x heavy gauss assault. But thanks to PGI ignorance regarding balacing their own game, this iconic heavy gauss carrier will literally be the worst heavy gauss assault in the game. lul

The agility allows for quick peeks and hill humps. Terrain has infinite HP, if you can use it.

Why do people buy these sub garbage tier mechs. Pgi are laughing all the way to the bank

I won mine in an tournament

Probably wouldn't have bought it, but it looks like fun. Looking forward to playing it.
