I don't really feel like setting them up, but I remember their equipment:

UAC20+2xMRM30 with an LFE350 or LB20X+MRM40+MRM30 with a STD340

I have build and skilled the former, but it does run hot and I am not sure which one's superior. I can always run the latter, but I want some other input on the builds.

Well TBH - If it was me, neither. I'd never take a UAC20 or LBX20 when you can take a AC20 for that PPFLD or HGauss if you're going STD engine.

UAC20s jam duration makes them objectively bad and a LBX20 spreads heavily.


What Atlas variant? If I was HGauss it would me MRM40 to compliment and maybe a MPL or two.
If it was AC20 probably MRM30 or SRMs and a lot more lasers.

Damn I’m dumb I could just take an ac20. It’s an As7-D. Hgauss mrm40 and 4mpl or Erml seems a bit undergunned but hgauss has no heat, so I might consider it. The anni and fafnir seem like much better options for hgauss

[justcallme A S H]

HGauss/MRM40 and MPL us undergunned?

Dude it's a 80pt alphas+ - depends how many lasers you put on and how hot/slow you wanna be. If not 4MPL use 4ML instead.

I think I phrased that wrong. I didn’t really mean undergunned, it’s just that other builds seem more dps heavy, and leading the weapons with different velocities seems tedious, at least to me.

[justcallme A S H]

What other builds are DPS heavy? UAC20?. UAC20 -technically- is until you jam - then you are literally stuffed for 7seconds or whatever it is. That is the opposite of DPS.

HGauss is 9DPS with a max of 18DPS+ (that does not include skill tree). I can't see how anything else is going to be higher / more consistent.

AC20 build is 9.5/23max which is pretty brutal.

The only other option is something like this AS7-D. Which is similar to all the others really with more accuracy.

What exactly do you mean by other builds are more 'DPS heavy'?

Ok so what about this on AS7-K?
AI082:f1|i^|i^|i^|1c|Y?|Y?p>1|Q@|[<2q>1|[@|=P|=Pro0|f?|AO|Y?so0|f?|Y?tc0|GP|=Puc0|GP|=Pv80|HPw606060

I'm not minmaxing here, I want to have fun and not dabble into the meta nonsense too much.
And don't comment on CASE, that's a comfort pick, ok Shush
How well would this work, why yes and why no?

Quirks on K are:
Gauss cooldown -10%
Ballistic cooldown -10%
Energy cooldown -10%
Energy range +15%
Missile cooldown -20%
tons of armor quirks
Crit hit chance (receiving) -25%

I really meant the Uac20 as a dps heavy weapon. It does jam, often when I can’t disengage. I’ll look into the heavy gauss build.

[ImperialKnight]

AC20, 2x MRM30, STD325, poke with MRMs initially, then go in guns blazing when the brawl starts


Can be done with a DDC for ECM cover as well

You could try this, although you're pretty well stuck in the 270m bracket.

AS7-D

Swapping out to an STD 300 would let you zombie in it too.

AS7-D BBRRAAAINNNNSSSS!

If you're going for spammable damage (not quite the same as pure DPS or hard alpha) and that satisfying sound rather than hard damage, why not twin UAC/5s, or UAC/10 and whatever you can fit under it? UAC/20 requires you to be far too close if you're not going for the hard-hit-and-kill. And if you were considering an LB-20X, I know the weight can be prohibitive, but twin LB-10X is better than LB-20X whenever possible as well as a boatload colder. If set to chain fire the down time between shots is really short.

Just a thought.
