Dont know if this list has already been produced earlier, but what mechs actually CAN do Gauss/PPC anyway in a reasonable way? With reasonable I mean at least two of one kind and one of the other with enough speed, HS and ammo.
In italic those that can do the real nasty 2/2 version.
Please correct me if I missed one but this is my list:
Clan:
Dire Wolf (2G/2P) very rare
Supernova (2G/2P) common
Kodiak (2G/2P) rare
Night Gyr (2G/1P, 1G/2P) very common
Marauder IIC (2G/2P, 2G/1P) very common
Timber Wolf (1G/2P) very rare
Ebon Jaguar (1G/2P) very rare
Highlander (1G/2P) never seen that
IS:
Atlas (1G/2P) lol?
Banshee (1G/2P) never seen that
King Crab (2G/2P) rare
Cyclops (1G/2P) never seen that
Highlander (1G/2P) never seen that
Mauler (2G/2P) very rare
Battlemaster (1G/2P) never seen that
Zeus (1G/2P) never seen that
Victor (1G/2P) rare
Marauder (1G/2P) never seen that
Orion (1G/2P) never seen that
You're rank 1, come back down to us plebs at 4 and you'll see all sorts of weird builds. I personally run the Marauder one because I simply haven't gotten around to getting the Hero yet.
Direwolf-Maybe like 20% of DW drivers still do it,but they get LRM'd to death when they get Narc'd by a fast light,so it's a dying breed I'd say. I see more brawler DW's than I see sniper ones thankfully.
Have yet to see a SN in Gauss/PPC build,I only see the LRM 80 ones and ammo. They're fun to hit in the face over and over because most pilots just don't move.
I haven't seen that build in Tier 4/3 since the Kodiak came out,I seen it alot,then it swapped to the brawler build.
I see all sorts of weird Night Gyr builds,but none like this,or if I do,it's not common here on the bottom. I usually see the more common ERLL and various laser puke builds.
I actually see mostly brawler Marauder 2Cs and Scorches built on LBXs,or dakka builds. Not many of the sniper types here.
Haven't seen a Timberwolf on that build,I usually see dakka,lasers,or 1 gauss with other weapons.
I run that build on my Ebon Jag because I got tired of trying to brawl in something as wide as that.
I've seen it once. But I usually see LBX SRM or LRM builds on these. I don't see these much at all really.
Was a thing during the days of the Gaussapults,but not with ERPPCs. They had really bad hitreg at the time,so it was other weapons,just guassapults did it better.
Wubshees and Lightningshees are what I usually see,if I see one. There's someone whos got a Phoenix wub that I see on occasion.
I run this build,toasty,but fun. But I prefer the AC20 or chainsaw Ultra 5 build. It's it's own weird fun,but I only have it on my Loyalty crab as a test right now,ill probably go back to dual AC20s or quad 5s eventually.
LRM and brawler Cyclops are common here,haven't seen this one yet.
I haven't seen a Highlander in ages, I hear they're extinct,or nearly so.
I see LRM and quac AC5 maulers more than anyhting else.
Haven't seen a Battlemaster in ages.
I see laser puke and lrm puke Zeus's down here.
Victors sorta died when they got nerfed awhile back. Last one I seen was LBX in it's ballistic with MPL.
I run this build because I'm too lazy/cheap to actually buy the Hero. I wanted to try the build before I decided to get one(and clean out my Marauders). It's fun like this,but I sorta like my LBX build on a standard engine.
Literally who? I haven't seen an Orion that wasn't a Trial in ages. Like,really those things are rare as Vindicator pilots that didn;t buy the pack.
