As LRMs & MGs are now super OP, what is the best mech that can boat these superior weapon systems?

[Tristan Winter]

Probably the LRM+MG Huginn.

Then again, the Huginn is a very versatile mech. It can do many viable builds. 2xAC2, boating SSRM2s, you name it.

You can also do a quad LRM10-A or triple LRM10/15-A but you lose ballistic slots on both the other crabs. The 3 on each arm actually makes it kinda absurd.

I saw someone running a Kodiak with 4 MGs in the PUG the other day. A Locust and a Raven brought it down. But it took a long time. Maybe that's the way to go.

If you want to do it the other way around, and boat LRMs over the MG's, you can run this.

I would have gone with larger launchers, but I couldn't fit enough ammo in.

Who needs machine gun when you have LRM to rain down missiles from the sky!

Pfft, this is how one should do it.

Stalker 5M and over two and half million xp to prove it.
And my trusty Orion VA with half as much.

Battlemaster 1S has always been the go to fun LRM mech for me.

I have been running a Shadowcat with 7x MG and a CERPPC (works well with CLPL also) and found it to be a lot more fun since the MG buffs. I had a mtch in it the other day where I dueled a Gauss SHC at the beginning and beat him handily then snuck up behind a KGC that was engaging my teammates and demolished him before he knew what was going on. Both those were solo kills. By that point we were pushing into them and I just moved with the assaults and ripped up enemies, got several component destructions and 2 more kills. Very fun match in a mech that can be challenging to play.

For LRMs I like the WHK-B. I have not played much since they buffed LRM20s and right now that mech has 3x ALRM15 and 1x ALRM10 so I might have to mess around with the 20s. That is really the only WHK variant and build I enjoy playing.

Spider 5V is best LRM mech.

The Zeus, obviously. Has the tonnage to carry ammo for days.

[Dee Eight]

use endo instead of FF on that zeus and you can carry more ammo.

That's part of the joke

For LRMs, Kintaro-18. There is no substitute.

For MGs I run a 6xMG troll build King Crab.
