One of the best looking mech's ever, totally devastating!!

Yes we may get light chewed and packed, but I'm coming in and Odin help any pilot that graces my crosshairs! o7

Yes assaults are far less viable in general maps/skirmish games. I wonder how they can be made to serve their true purpose in MWO better...?

and as far as QP team play goes, I have a good run most of the time when you speak up and ask for the 'little ones' to escort you in and watch your back. There are some good players that enjoy leadership and 'working on the same team'.
It benefits all and much more fun, let alone the win! o7

You get what you expect in this world,

Assaults dont even have to ask me anything. When i use lights i pkck the biggest 100toner and glue myself on there a** until we get to the frontline.
Trust me. Nothing scares pirhannas more then a big hello from a rac5 wielding urbie... or any urbie realy. Main reason i want the umr80 in the game is that i then also can give ecm support.

Ps: just saw the quirks. Got to check it, but i think thats more armor than a annie.

Thanks the metal gods, it got armor quirks for THE most important parts of it. Its a start, a nice one. BUT could beef those up a bit more to:

CT - 30
LT - 25
RT - 25

Would be nice with + 15 armor for arms and legs to, for good measure

[Leviathan MDK]

How mush would you get with max armor hardening? Just curiues.

[DFM]

for the C-bill starved among us.

4/6 come with Endo steel already instead of ferro.
6/6 come with DHS already.
5/6 come with Standard 300 Engine.
1/6 comes with 300 Light Engine.

max armor hardening is +10% armor.

the Anni has the same 614 armor and +25CT armor, and it comes out to 163 CT armor with full armor hardening nodes.

so the faf will have less than that. Either 158.4 or 156.4 depending on how they calculate stuff.

124 Base 100Ton max armor (I think?)
+20 CT
+14.4

or 124
+12.4
+20

Edit: I'm a idiot and can't read apparently.

The values you mention should be a MINIMUM for this 'Mech. Adding at least 5 or more to each of those would be more of what it will actually need.

Why is it that PGI always wants to make assault 'Mechs super squishy while buffing the lights into the stratosphere? Give this 'Mech the appropriate amount of armor quirks to protect it!

[Hit the Deck]

With those quirks, it seems that ANH-1X with its 7E would still be superior to FNR-5 and 6U for dual HGauss-ing.

It's disappointing.

[The Boneshaman]

If this is a Fafnir?

or this


than this is a American Muscle car


this will always be the real Fafnir every thing else is just pretending.

by the all father. i have no idea how the 2 pervious abominations became what people think a Fafnir should look like.

[Nightbird]

The Fafnir should be Longer than it is Wide, yet PGI made it Wider than it is Long.

Compared to the Annihilator, much worse hitboxes and quirks.

I sent in my refund request, prove me wrong on the battlefield warriors!

Look at the sun spider, if they did ^ that bye bye ST's.

It's still gonna be bye-bye ST's, but the only thing about that drawing that looks better than the new rendering imo is the splayed feet and the non-square cockpit.

[NUMBERZero1032]

Fafnir needs AT LEAST Annihilator CT and ST armor quirks.

The original TRO drawing also has higher mounts and the gauss rifle ports are appropriately sized rather than gaping stereo speakers/owl eyes. I think the MW4 and especially MWO Fafnirs are inferior looking in nearly every respect.

[Thorn Hallis]

Kinda amusing that PGIs Fafnir has nipples where the end of the barrels should be.

[Will9761]

If it ends up like the Victor's AC/20 nipples when applied, I'm going to laugh.

[meteorol]

Welp. As predicted they did it again. Worse armor quirks than the anni on the mech with literally the worst hitboxes in the game.
Worse quirks for the interesting variants all around. GG. Strictly inferior mech. Not only that, but those hitboxes combined with the quirks you gave it (or more precisely, didn't give it), makes it literally the worst among the dual HG assaults.

You made the most iconic dual heavy gauss mech the worst of the dual heavy gauss assaults. think about that for a second. gg.

Glad i didn't preorder, safed me the refund. Now those 20 $ go elsewhere.

Could we (pretty pretty please) get a generic missile velocity quirk? Or is there a special reason to put the other missile weapons at a disadvantage?

While I understand the quest to quirk towards standard loadouts, seeing LRMs on a 100t assault is just a sad sight...
