Talking about heavy gauss pair in torso in particular. I think it's a major liability, I always go for these ST, hitting them first on range and then usually blowing out the first ST when they get close enough to be effective.

Talking about Annihilators in particular here, Fahnir seems so weak and Cyplocs might have some chance because of better speed it can have.

But what do I you think? One player in particular said it's not a problem because he has case. I thought that's really odd, because you don't kill dual HGR by CT destruction, even without case his CT armor would be fresh after ST destruction meaning the other ST has less effective health. But he seemed confident about the HGR, I just wonder have all the previous HGR users been bad pilots.

The problem with HGRs isn't even their explosive nature, dual HGR Annis just lack the DPS to keep up with the dakka builds. It's great for 12v12 because of the low exposure time, but in Solaris, DPS matters more as you can't peak & fade.

Dakka > 2HGR.

It's not Division 1, but I run a HGR with a MRM40 and two MPL on my Atlas in Division 2 and I've had success with it.

HGR works, just get Jungle/Caves/Factory. Fought a few that used HGR to great effect. You actually do not want to expose yourself to the metabuilds, just close the range such that your HGR + lasers deal a good amount of damage. You can also go for the headshot if you think you are good enough.

Gotten a couple nice head shots, one for 24pnts vs a top pilot.
