I'm saving to buy this. This will be one of my builds soon. Ao, I thought I would share. Looks fun with all the jump jets and mask on it.

Yeah i have this build in my mind too. If MG's really doing some dmg now, i'll give it a try. But i will really missing that beatifull ECM :/

Love my little Shadowcat. A build I am particularly fond of is 3xMGs, 2xSRM6 and 1xCERPPC. Let's you keep your ecm too. Play it well and you'll always do well and have fun.

Some friends and I run a pack where one has ecm and the rest swap that for an extra 3xMGs. 2+ Shadowcats swarming you with that can be very upsetting, but it runs well solo too.

The one I use for invasion is 2 large lasers ecm and 3 machine guns. It's rather fun and it's mobility allows it to do some work. 2 large pulse and ecm is good. My unit friends runs dual er ppc, it's to hot for my taste.

Never tried a ballistics Shadowcat before but I tried all manner of energy snipers. I tried 2 ERLL, 2 LPL, 2 ERPPC, the lasers required too much face-time and I was constantly getting out-traded even when I tried to stay sneaky. Then one day I got fed up with the thing and did this: SHC-P

It's fragile but if you utilize your MASC properly it makes this thing really good at zooming in, delivering a heavy blow, and then zooming out before you take too much damage. It's gotta be my favorite build that I've played with so far with this chassis.

This should be an outright blast to pilot, wish they werent so darned expensive and I'd buy a few of em for c bills so I could master the chassis.

Consider that, if people read it right, regular variants of the steam pack mechs will be on sale in a few days – incl. the SHC.

And yes, it’s what I am saving up for, too.
Not sure yet if it will be this or some missile variant, tending to the P atm.

Anyone knows if other Omnimechs are supposed to get some 8/8 quirks, as the wave 1 did in the pre-last patch?

Dual CERPPCs make for some fun pop tarting long range harassing action. Super hot and requires some fire discipline but one of my favorite builds.



SHC may not have a lot of hardpoints but it can be pretty versatile. 3mpl 2asrm4 is fun. 2cerll 2ssrm6, 3alrm5 2ml is fun too.

Two ERLL, six MG was good fun the other day. I like the uac plus MG lol, that's crazy.

You can fit 3xUAC2 + ECM if you don't mind having about as much armour as a locust, it's fun. Just double tap lots and braap some crits in.
Totally not viable for my play style though. I want to try OP's build as soon as I'm done mastering my MAD-IIC's. Favourite SHC is the 3xSRM6+AIV, 2xERML's followed by 3xERLL.

[Beaching Betty]

And then after using that build for few matches, you find it boring and you regret your decision on buying it just because you want to try that "fun" build..

Dual ERPPCs is what I'm sticking with. I lack the skills to be truly awesome with it, but it's working well, even for a scrub like me.

Imagine the balistics varient when the Heavy machine guns come out! 8)
