Hi Mech Warriors,
Currently my favorite mech is the Nightstar NSR-10P because it has RAC2 HSL, so I can use 4x RAC2 without heat issue.

Are there another mechs that have RAC HSL?
I really like the weapon.

Thank you.

If you like RACs, look not only for RAC HSL, but also for RAC RoF and or RAC jam quirks.
For example the Urbanmech-K9 is an hilarious RAC mech. etc

The plot thickens Posted Image

+1 HSL Ballistic Weapons, enables firing 4x RAC2:
KGC-000
KGC-000B
LGB-10K

Personally, I feel that -10% heat Assault Mechs can also fire 4x RAC2 just fine:
FNR-5
FNR-5E
FNR-6U
BHN-6H
BSK-1
NSR-9P

yeah RACs can be fun if a bit frustrating at times (the whole pinpoint alpha strike bloat makes any face time weapon a bit of a pain at times). sadly i don't think i have any RAC builds right now other than my Nightstar -10P (4 RAC/s, 4 MLs i think).


don't just concentrate on mechs with direct RAC quirks. the MAD-3R (if i remember right it has something like a +30% Velocity quirk) can be nasty with 3 RAC/2s and a few lasers (ER SLs or MLs)

if i remember right the Rifleman-BD has RAC quirks but it only has the two slots so it would be best to run it with 2 RAC/5s.

just remember that they generate heat over time so its best to pair them with something that doesn't produce to much heat. mostly i would just stay away from PPC as secondaries. LLs are workable but mostly i stike with the Frank's Red Hot of Battletech the ML.

4 RACS are fun but try 4 LBX10s on an ECM Fafnir with 3 med lasers, there is a Mauler maybe 1P that has reduced LBX spread and fits 4 10s

You can try the Hatchetman 6D for something different.

RAC Jam durration -60%
RAC rate of fire +30%

Slap a RAC5 on it and you get a god damn mini gun. Its fast, is agile, you get jumpjets and ECM, 3xMLAS for added firepower. So if you're looking for a medium mech that can rack it try this. The damage output is not too great, but its not bad either and its lots of fun to play.
