how to get the scouting achievement bonus for a T6 potato? i need wins!

[The6thMessenger]

There's no PSR in FW.

You want win, you need coordination. Usually common on premade groups, so get 3 friends and play with them.

you havent by chance been running a locust and playing the objectives have you? lol. bring the fattest mech you can with as many srm tubes as possible, play it like skirmish and victory soon follows.

i ride on my centurion ncix, trying both SRM6s and SSRM2, no luck for either.

Bad build man. Go 3x SRM6A + 2x ML, STD250, 11 DHS. I get that Locust and Streaks go together, but honestly IS streaks are bad, and it's not worth it.

SRM6 shoots never land on the light, and SSRM2s just spreading dmg here and there, sounds like no weapon will help a T6 potato to do better....

Even STD270 dont allow me to reach the battlefield on time so often, with STD250 i afraid i will miss out even more

Well, i'm sorry, but that's my best with the chassis you are using. It's an SRM brawler that can zombie. Scouting usually ends up as a brawling match, you should urge your team to wait for you.

If all else fail, I suggest getting a shadow-hawk. 2D2 is ridiculously good.

Sure there are... Use MPL's If you have trouble aiming, lasers are the way to go. A 5-6 MPL crab, or an HBK-4P, Cicada 2B, or even the Griffin "sparky" are all good energy mechs for scouting.


But what mechs do you own? perhaps one can be set up better for you in scouting.

The only IS light/medium i own is the centurion NCIX, otherwise i have to go with trial mechs.

No my Centurion is capped at 275, it wont be much faster switching from a STD270 to a XL275....

The Centurion - D is the only centurion with 390 max engine
Is worth it

No i am not buying new mech until the new PTS is in place (no need to own 3 for master in the future), most likely than not a bushwacker will be a better choice if i choose to play IS by that time.......

If you want to kill lights in a centurion , that build i posted will work
The other varaints are more geared to killing mediums/heavies

You were the one asking how to kill lights!

Your build is another mech, not the one i have.....

Well only thing you can do is to have really good aim vs enemy lights in your current build/mech
