So what is everyone else running on their Annihilators, 2A with those 6 ballistic slots in particular?

I'm currently running this:

It has great range and once skilled up the heat actually isn't as bad as it looks, the AC2s are practically heat neutral and the RAC5s jam up before you'd overheat, assuming anything ever lasts long enough for the RACs to jam while you're spewing over 30 DPS. The AC2s are all pretty well high mounted so you can reliably shoot over hills, teammates, or whatever while getting in some chip damage on people while you make the long slow march up to the front lines. The great durability of the mech combined with the awesome firepower really lets you just punch a hole in the enemy's line with some decent support.

Not too bad. I was running 5 UAC5's for a bit, but was unimpressed. For the record I didn't have an issue getting into close range at the time, so I switched over to this...

AC50 and 2 mpl's doesn't feel good. Interestingly enough, still doesn't quite one shot cicadas, but the dumb ones that show their faces a second time don't have a chance. ... man that cicada messed up

6 ac5 works really well for me.

The 3 three best builds on the 2A are :
6 AC5 (ghost heat isnt really an issue)
2 UAC10 / 2 UAC5
5UAC5 (here also ghost isnt a big deal because of jams)

Of course this is in the meta point of view

X2 HGR, x5 erml or ml based on how well you can maintained your heat. Fun ensues.

Been toying with this build, for when I get arround to c-billing it:

ANH-2A

Use the LL's for target ranging, then use the dual UAC/10's for damage dealing, in a pinch since they all have the same basic optimal range, they should synergies well with each other.

5 uac5, lots o bullets http://mwo.smurfy-ne...30ef4e7e9ab4604

Use the fast inpoint 30 damage to reck side torsos, its just slow. drop half a ton of ammo for more armor or engine. 7 tons of ammo isnt enough imo, so gotta find ways to get more and this is what i came up with that has 9.5 tons of ammo. 6 ac5 http://mwo.smurfy-ne...5a05041cdb91700

Someone will probably come on here and say it’s a terrible build, but I like the 4xLB10-X setup.

Good hunting,

I tried a bunch of things after picking one up on a lark, but plain 'ol AC5 spam is the only build I've had good results with. Little short on ammo in prolonged engagements, but the dakkadakka is immensely satisfying. No chance of sudden, frustrating failure with jams, no complicated shot timing like with Gaussvomits, no damage spread... just an unstoppable pain train of AC5 shells until the enemy isn't there anymore. Good, clean fun for the whole family.

that is my build, 4 **** Anni

Because I can - 2 x RAC5 and 4 heavy machine guns. WHY? Because I like to Frankenstein into the enemy ranks and watch the enemy mechs just fall back from the sustained fire. If the rest of the team follows in - I might get up to five kills. Though most matches, I just get to kill the 1st target I engaged while the rest of the team drops in to peek and poke mode.

Not on the 2A. On the 1X it is the best.

Firepower is too weak. I recommend you to get 2-3 U/AC5s to go with those RAC5s.

Five LBX 10's = Profit.

If you can deal with the painfully slowness and tell your team not to rotate away from you, you'll melt people.

Haven't seen this posted, but here's my AC2 build...

Runs cool enough you can snap off like 300 rounds before your at risk of overheating. Deadly at ranges up to 1 KM, the targetting computer makes it easy to hit things that far out, and gives your shots a much better crit chance. It's pretty brutal. Not super effective at ranges under 400 meters, but it can still do some damage. I've out brawled MCII's with it just because it's so tanky and has such insane DPS.
