Hello just a quick question, I see that the hero mech sale is about to end and I have just enough MC to pick up the Hellslinger.

Ive always loved the look of the mech alone and that it what makes me tempted to pick it up but is it any good? (Is it quite agile / mobile for its size?)

I dont often use big mechs so it will probably be lost on me anyway but the skin is soo freaking good I want it.

The Hellslinger is a solid mech to use as a laser boat on hot maps or as a laser srm/mrm brawler. That said it is far from the top of the heap of hero mechs.

Its a B+ in my books.

Better heroes in the heavy to assault range include
Black widow. Various builds
Quickdraw IV-4 mrms
Cyclops slepnir dakka or dual heavy gauss

Thanks for the info.
B+ isnt so bad I can certainly live with that. The black widow is the Warhammer right?

Yes, the BW is the Warhammer. Many of the same builds are possible on another of the WHM variants, unless you plan to go 4x class 2 ACs.

It can fit 4x5 as well.

Though I've put 4xLMG and 2 HPPC with 2 MPL in mine. XD

Hellslinger can perform better than average in hot maps, which means it can be very useful in FP.

Don't buy the Hellslinger unless you first really love Battlemasters.
