Bushwhacker Theorycrafting

General things I'm noticing: low on energy hardpoints save two variants, but an overload of missile and ballistic hardpoints. Laser Vomit probably won't be an option, but dual AC10, LBX10+SRMs, and dual UAC5s will all be posible. (Maybe even 3machine guns SRM max engine? Or even 3x UAC 5 with a small engine like xl245?)
Those are my plans anyway, what about everyone else? High Roller I wanna try out gauss +lasers.
Front profile is pretty nice, and left arm looks like it could be a good shield. Legs are fairly narrow too. With only 10 extra armor though, I don't see it being super tanky.

For the X1 I'm thinking something along the lines of 3xSRM6, LBX10 and MGS. I'm gonna wait and see until tomorrow before I buy it.

Don't think you'll be able to fit the AC20 into that arm due to the full complement of actuators limiting number of available slots.

Who's been talking about dual LBX10 + SRM builds? Single LBX and SRMs is totally feasible but as you mention dual LBX would be hard to fit with any sort of speed.

Looking at cockpit vs arm height, I'd say the whacker is better off than most humanoid mediums.
I guess the most common build will be the BSW-P1 with 5/6x SRM6A (+1ML )
Splatwhacker (10t lighter than splat cat an can mount a laser and have a shield arm)
Or a standard build, fitting most of the variants: 2x UAC5 + ERLL

3ac5, 2ac10/lbx10, 5srm6A, maybe gauss+2ppc on a hero. For other things you have shadow hawks and griffins, both of which right now seem like you dont need any bushwackers in your garage, given overall crapy quirks. I'm too seriously thinking of refund now, i dont expect to have much fun with it until new weapons come around. I could live with crapiness if wacker was a good lokin at least, but it's ugly as hell.

I got my refund. I've been wrong before, but nothing in the base pack excited me once I saw the hardpoints and actual geometry. Those SRM STs are going to make brawlers just 'splode and dual AC/10 with an XL255 and low/mid mounts feels really meh to me (I find dual 10s underwhelming in the best of circumstances and nothing here elevates it).

quad SRM4 with artemis and 2 medium pulse with a deadside arm and an XL300 seems to work fine.

That's why I will be running 3 5s with an XL255 and 7 tons of ammo
