This thread is now about surprisingly effective MW5 builds that absolutely wouldn't work in MWO. I'll start:

I'm running a Grasshopper 5H with 4 medium lasers, 1 large laser and 1 LRM 5. Why the LRM 5? Because it adds that extra bit of damage against helicopters and tanks. Since you fight a lot of those and they slowly grind you down over a battle, having some tools specifically for swatting flies actually comes in useful. Naturally, this wouldn't work in MWO!

I bought a Commando The Death Knell and Wolverine Quarantine and now I have a good amount of DHS. I only need to find some UAC5 ammo.

[Humpday]

All I want, is to freaking find my damn Mauler-KO and Cataphract-IM, then I'll be set...well that and i need to find a way to get back my dual Tier5 ac20s I lost in the end game...and streak srms, i want those as well. Bust mostly I want my mechs.

[RickySpanish]

I found a rare Grasshopper 5P tonight, turns out it was stacked to the gills with DHS. Now I'm jumping around with 2 PPCs and a stack of medium lasers and it reminds me of the good old days from MWO. My opponents are of about the same quality as well

[MW Waldorf Statler]

who the official Forum for mW from PGI ? and not Twitter, Reddit, FB or other mad Chatforums

Im now drive most a Rifleman with 2 AC5 RF and 2xLarge Lasers and a Jaegermech ,with 2x AC5 and 2Mediums+2 MGs...yesterday im Buy a Grasshopper ..seeing what im doing with him.

One of those high value quest missions in Marik space I think it was rewards you with double heat sinks, UAC/5s, UAC ammo, AMS and AMS ammo. I was doing it when I found all those system names taken from this area.

First world MW5 problems...you take the time to strip a target of all weapons, both arms, both side torsos, and a leg... and then your friendly AI lance mate comes along and pops the head before you get to it.

Thank you. I'm currently in Liao space. I'll check out that mission asap.

Strange, Discord never asked for my number...now I feel left out

I guess you preordered from PGI and were already invited to DC when the beta started.

Everybody else needs a mobilenumber to write in their discord channel

[Dee Eight]

Actually i was a community adopter pre-order also and ever since the game dropped on the epic store the discord has prompted me for a mobile # verification in order to post. No thank you. I didn't drop all that money just to have to give my # to PGI or Discord.

No, we post here, and on Steam, because we are lazy and entitled, and PGI and everyone just has to roll with it.

BTW, I got a Cyclops Hero. 2x Gauss, 3x ML, 1x SRM4. Man, this thing is amazing! Best Assault for me. High head position (no more staring at tree trunks), 64kph, 'nuff said.

What's next is......MW5 mechpacks......do you want to buy a mechpack?

[Gantry]

Picked up a Grey Death shadow hawk and fitted it with an LBX-10ac! What fun! Tears holes in those light mechs!
