Nah. May go splatting in the MRM Treb and booming in a Boomhammer though.

I already have a Streakcrow and a Madsplat ready.

However, I still have to find something that goes "Boom!".

I'm leveling my Crab-27B, so I will probably stick with it. I'm a bit nervous about all those crits though.

I'm thinking my two choices for tonight are going to be a dual Heavy Gauss Whammer (one shots anyone?) and the 8xSSRM6 Archer.

Well... 1 match down. 1 Piranha learned cXL isn't safe enough. 1 Prianha learned the joys of being sent to the MechLab after one trigger pull.

Lightly fried fish fillets for dinner, boys!

There's nothing more satisfying than turning a corner near the start of a match, finding a 20 tonner that wasn't expecting to run into LB40X, and watching as their hopes and dreams evaporate even more quickly than their mech does. It's the simple things that make life grand.

I'm pretty sure their pilots are going to be bitter and salty enough without the addition of seasoning once they're dead.

It's a bit smaller than a commando, but its walking animation, boxy torso and speed make it easier to hit.

Unrelated, I find it amusing that, despite everyone's worst fears, its not Piranhas that are making (the game) unplayable. Its the unfettered potatoness of everyone scared of them that is. Seriously guys, stop bringing streaks. Stop running away. Stop dragging your heels and refusing to advance because you're afraid one might sneak up behind you. They aren't scary, but the way you're playing is.

That's my question, will they add too much salt that I'll need to add some sugar to balance it out... also I wonder how lemon goes with them....

For the first few days they'll probably be easier pickings, but once their pilots get some skill nodes buffing them a bit they'll probably become more of a pest.

Lucky for me I still have lots of SP from the conversion so I'll probably unlock 20 to 30 nodes on each variant before I drop in a match.

These little buggers are insane, once you get behind a mech...

The MG build is ripping through the components like butter, dunno how PGI wants to nerf such MG boats.
Maybe by adding ghost heat when you shoot 9 or more mgs? Posted Image

I am already curious to meet them in invasion. Last light wave rush... oh dear Posted Image

The people MM puts me with in my solo QP games have been doing that all along. Hope that doesn’t mean they have gotten worse with this mech released.

I am bringing streaks not out of fear but to instead bring fear to those little fishies while I go hunt for them. Posted Image

Are you bringing them in Atlases? Because that's what's happening today. Apparently the perfect counter to the Piranha is a SSRM18/HGR Atlas.
