yay high mounted ballistics.

no it doesn't open my wallet. 6 months ago maybe but now, no. il buy it for cbills if the game doesnt die first.

Theorycrafting so far - having all lasers in arms + LA actuators is an accuracy advantage over DS.

Gauss in torsos is a disadvantage though, cuz in deathstrike you first lose an arm and keep the second one and most lasers. Here you'll lose ST and half the guns with it.

Yeah its not going to dethrone the Deathstrike for goose vomit, but it will have a couple other strong builds.

Also BAS-B can be turned in something like super-hellbringer with 2 HLL + 4 ERML + 14 heatsinks + gauss.

But, but, but people claimed it would kill my mediocre precious!

Nah, no worries there! The new balance overlord did a very good job at killing what little fun was left.

To be fair, no one knew that Gauss vomit would be the meta again and we would get a made up Hero with 6E hardpoints and 2B But yeah, the MCII is safe in terms of dual gauss and lasers.

Some Dakka/ERPPC builds will be solid though.

[Gas Guzzler]

I'm personally excited for this build (all weapons torso mounted).

*raises hand

I called Gauss+PPC during the age of Laser Vomit.....

[A1Ste4kSauce]

Will it walk all stupid?

[Brody319]

It looks pretty awesome. Think it will easily be meta assuming there isn't a massive shift and even then it will still probably do really well.

[PocketYoda]

Looks overpowered and perfect... of course it does its ******* clan... I'm sure it'll kill Fafnir in seconds...

I figured out why I'm so disappointed in the model.

Tbh they both look garbage..

Too redundant, IMO, so soon after MCII. Blood Kite woulda been a more diverse choice.

Or the Stone Rhino, Kracken, Savage Coyote, Tomahawk.... just to name a few....

I’ve always used Dual er-ppc and gauss since the Dire Wolf. If you saw me you knew it was a gold Dire Wolf with that load out.

Until the mistake that was the engine decoupling and the final nail in the coffin the skill tree.

Oh well two more mechs I really wanted are here, and yet I haven’t played more than two matches in about six months. Not to mention the color blind issue was never addressed.
