Did one for the Mauler, imma do one for the Marauder.

What are people going to be putting on thier Marauders?

I dorked with one, max armor, 4 DHS, 2 ERPPC, AC5, 3 1/2t ammo, 300 engine...seems weak...then again, I never make meta builds..so meh. 25 firepower, 2.72 DPS seems really bad.

MAD-5D - 3 LPLs - 2 SRM6s - and 300STD or 350XL depends on the hitboxes +JJs

pitty i can't mount a LBX 10 and a Gauss.....for the DragonFire

the MAD -5M as a fast sturdy one with 350STD- JJs and 2 LPL and 2 MPL....not much fire power.

The main fault of the MAD in comparison with the best IS heavy the "Falconer": a Gauss + XL is a death sentence

We seen similar builds for the Cataphact pre-quirks.

Just toying around with ideas...

MAD-5D Brawler - XL350, ES, 4x JJ, 4x MPL, 2x ASRaM-6, 1x ERPPC (for range poking)
Might drop the 6s for 4s for more ammo/heatsinks and better spread

MAD-3R(or 5M) Double-Barrel - Std300, ES, 4x ML, 2x LB10-X

[Akuma]

MAD-BH2 set up like this. Since I'm using the Orion as a placeholder on Smurfy's, the LLAS will all be in the RA to deadside. Might tinker with it a bit to add a JJ or two, see how it plays.

[Mark3sie]

MAD-3R(S)-

I'll do 2X AC-5's with 4 Mlas and upgrade the engine. If I can stand the slower speed I'll stick a third AC-5 on top.

[Audacious Aubergine]

I'm gonna try 3x AC-2 on the 3R, tonnage permitting. Because lulz
EDIT: Ok seems like triple AC-5 is possible too. Also, disappointed with the layout of the 3 ballistic slots so I might just got double UAC-5 instead. Yes I'm pretty weird like that

I am running the MAD-5D with 4 Medium Pulse, 2 A-SRM6 and 1 Large Laser for poking:

MAD-5D

Just one game so far, but it is working quite well for me and the not as vulnerable as yours due to standart engine.

[ExplicitContent]

Have ran bounty hunter twice, with 2 separate builds both sporting a 300 std

Laser Vom
2xLPL, 5xMPL and rest DHS
615 dmg, 2 kills 7 assists

A Touch of Dakka
UAC5, 3 tons ammo, 2xLL, 3xML
664 dmg, 3 kills 8 assists

Seems to tank relatively well. Arms can go fairly quick so I think I will keep a ballistic in place. I don't usually use PPC, so I wanted to try something different before I get to using them.

[Phra]

MAD-3R: 2xPPC, 2xAC5, 290STD

MAD-5M: 2 AC5, 3 LL, 300XL, 1xJJ

BOUNTY HUNTER II: 3xLPL, 3xML, 280STD, 1xJJ

The aforementioned 2xLPL, 5xML loadout works too, but I have that exact same on the TOP DOG so wanted something different. It also uses 3xJJs and have 1 crit open, so far from perfect!

What I had time so far to try out and I like it:

MAD-5D: Hunch ER-PPC, LPL on each arm, 2x A-SRM6 (5T ammo), 300XL 4 DHS
Can Poke long range, attack mid range, and brawl fairly well.

MAD-3R: 2xPPC in arms, 2 AC5 (4T ammo) 300STD
Simple but efficient mid range build

This is a fun mech to drive! So far the 5D is my favorite build. Still got to try out the 5M and BH but I have builds in mind.

[Phra]

How are you putting a 300STD on the 3R with 2xAC5?

I had to swap to FF to be able to fit the 290STD.

[SamMaster]

yeah, ES, FF, base 10 DHS, 48 armour on each leg, max rest, 2xppc, 2xac5, 4t ammo.

I hope I won't get legged too much now

[Phra]

Well, take a look at mine, it has 12 DHS and maxed leg armor.

[VigorousApathy]

Despite how slow it is, ive been kicking in faces with a 3R packing 3xac5 4xmdlasers and a std300. My very first match in the marauder with this build i did 892dmg 3 kills.

As for the other two i stuck an xl360 in both and did the tdr9se meta build with 2 jjs just to get the xp for elite.

[Audacious Aubergine]

I haven't had issues with the speed in the 3R, then again I'm fairly used to IS heavies with stock engines. Now Bounty Hunter on the other hand, that's bringing back BAD memories of when I first got my CTF-4X. Just about to try a very long range loadout - 2x ERPPC, Gauss and a ML as a backup that I may swap for an AMS instead

[PholkLorr]

MAD5D.

XL325, 1 JJ 3 LL 2 ML 1 SRM6 1 SRM4

[Audacious Aubergine]

Has anyone worked out where the side torsos end? I'm hoping those huge air vents just behind the arms are centre torso but I dunno. Not that it matters too much, the side profile is so long that ST death is pretty hard to avoid

Gauss from distance, throwing in UAC5s in between. Engage with alpha-laser strikes at close distance.

[Steel Raven]

Mad -5D with 3 LPLs and 2 MPL has a nice feel but I may change it up for range, I keep getting head caped in brawls
