One would think that this is a poster child for ST armor quirks, espescially given the reduced health of cGauss. But as it is a Clan'Mech and the developer is not Blizzard I'm seeing structure quirks incoming (if any).

It got bigger since concept art:

So did the cockpit itself I think..

It should both be about 10% smaller, towards the lower part of the hitbox..

Although, the shoulder cannons seem shorter overall (they don't stick so much in front of the cockpit), and a bit stockier in their placement into the shoulders..

A slightly different angle from their Facebook page:

wow, the FIRST time I preorder and whadayaknow it's not what I ordered. Lesson learned. Thanks PGI. Ya think you could make those arms more massive?

They look about the same as the concept art imo. I think it is just the angle here making them look yuge.

[Nightbird]

Arms look good to me. They take up volume.

[Grus]

Im not going to be shooting the arms...

I think those arms are GREAT.
Those arms will be perfect for shielding your torso (if the Blood Asp gets >=75° torso yaw).

[WhineyThePoo]

Arms and shoulders are waaaay too chunky. Whats wrong with the OG sleek shoulders?

[BTGbullseye]

Indeed the arms look perfect... The torso pods are the only ones that are off.

Well there is a reason why they call it "Concept Art" because it is just a concept, not the final product. As long as this game has been around the final product has always been slightly different than the final product and quite honestly, I don't really recall concept art from any game being exactly as the final product so you shouldn't really be surprised at the slight differences.

Yeah the big arms do mean better shielding potential but I don't think it is going to matter on this mech because the ST is going to be massively exposed due to those shoulder mounts. Also PGI is traditionally very unfriendly to Clan mechs when it comes to mobility and agility stats or quirks, especially when those mechs can mount significant amounts of firepower and/or have high mounts. The fact that it not only can mount significant amounts of firepower and has high mounts Plus those high mounts are primarily ballistic mounts further reduces the likelyhood PGI will allow even decent mobility, agility and/or quirks to be added.

Except you can't really directly measure angled versus flat on for size. Though the ST pods definitely got a little bigger.

... except that massive arms is usually a good thing?

As long as I'm not claiming XY% larger I think I'm good.

[kapusta11]

Wow, those hardpoints look like SH*T. Shoulder gun with energy weapon looks smaller too, wtf.

Mech itself looks great but man those hardpoints.

I’m so depressed about this now whoever was the main designer needs to be fired!

[kapusta11]

Suggested fix:

Tall and stubby guns gtfo.



Same size gun for energy shoulder. Flipped gauss. Second weapon uses empty space in the shoulder pod.

Damn those gunpods are fukhueg. Can as well stick a cathedral or two between them and send it to defend Cadia.

fired is a bit harsh, but the build quality is shite .

[Vanguard836]

Definitely looks like the pods are too big and short

[Jackal Noble]

Those side torso pods are stupid.
They make the mech stupid looking.
This is stupid.
PGI pls fix stupid.

At the very least take everything to the energy pod dimensions. Will still be big but that's to be expected with the basp. Just not OMFG that's stupid levels of big.
ST quirks absolutely otherwise.
