I love that someone actually checked this.

I actually made a mistake, I missed an armor location. It can go up to 12 TAG.

12 ERSL's, 2 groups of 6 and have a blast.. It is my favorite PIR Runs super hot, but hits like a ton of bricks.. You strike 4 times and get out.. you can often take out a leg in a single pass or blow through a side torso

6 Small pulse for me, run around legging stuff

[Lykaon]

4 ER-Mediums
2 Flamers
11 DHS
CAP

Probably the most "useful" PIR-3 I have come up with.

Well, PGI is making MW5 and no longer is that concerned about balance or even viability of the mechs they release. You may have noticed how numerous hero mechs are now best in class - something that never happened before. Perhaps you remember when PGI once said they would never release the Piranha because it would be broken.

However that's not important anymore. They released the Piranha because people will buy it. The PIR-3 was released because it's on the variant list and to charge full price they need a full list of variants.

That's why.

HA! New game mode, have all tags and run around taging random people and yelling TAG *pilot* YOU'RE IT!!

Id go 6 Er smalls and 6 micro Pulse. Dont use all the energy hardpoints tho. Could be fun, just need trigger discipline, to avoid ghost heat.

[Humpday]

Mine has 2 erlls , it was used like 1 time....ever.

Why the hell are you trying to alpha the thing?

Fire in groups. Rotate your fire. I myself use up to 4 groups, 3 on the mouse and the 4th being the space bar so I know everyone can at least manage 3 groups of weapon so use them. Hell it is a great technique for managing your heat on any mech and usually you have at least one weapon off of cooldown ready to fire at all times. Can't count the times having a weapon ready to fire at all times has allowed me to snag that kill before he killed me.

I just do 10 microPL on my 3 and fire 5 at a time to avoid gh, nice back chewer and can one shot a 20 tonner in the ct if you alpha it fully, still it kinda outshine by the 2 because it carry more firepower even if it small.

Actually my highest pir stats were in a pir-3.. if made right they can do quite a lot..
