I have had one game in Quarantine so far, but I must say that I like this 'Mech.

One casual look to check the composition of my lance revealed something unusual: Nothing but Hero Wolverines! And it worked!

Only lance consisting of Quarantines survived the mission without a loss ... and we fared quite well.

What about you? Do you like your new Quarantine? Does it work for you?

The mech is sweet. The thought of it when skilled up, will be more dangerous. Watch out for the quarantine. Because it will clean up your health.

It's a great mech, not to mention being a hero one with the increased c-bill boost.

I like its quirks and all those useful builds you can get. Wolverines are really good and the Quarantine stands out.

I think the following might be fun to try....

1. LBx10 + MRM 30 QUARANTINE

2. 3 ML + MRM 40 QUARANTINE

3. 3 MPLs + 2 SRM6+A QUARANTINE

4. MRM 60 QUARANTINE

5. UAC 10 + 2 SRM6+AQUARANTINE

I'm leaning with the 1st and the 3rd.

Just tried the LBx10 + MRM30. It has serious potential and you can stay relatively out of harm's way since the range synergy on your weapons mean that you can engage at 400m away. The missile pod is a 2-column split and the spread even without skill nodes is very small. On top of that, the agility on this thing will help you move back into cover quite quickly.

I'll try the other builds at some point but this one is really good for me.

The prob is. U have lots of mixed slots. Pure Mrm 7d and 7k are just better. U need to use this 20% Ccd ballistic or it's not useful. U want a more or less equal face time/range. Mixing mrm with lbs doesn't fit well to much difference in cool down.

I tend to an uac10. (2 sec CD) with mpl (2.5) and srm 4(2,7). But all in all it ends up to be a bit frankenstein.

This is how you do brawling setup: https://mech.nav-alp...#e00dd8e0_WVR-Q

If you don't use glorious ballistic bonus, may as well go for any over Wolverine.

It's not about the cooldown but rather the Range. The synergy there is great. Like I said in my previous post, the LBx10 and MRM sync up well and you can engage at ~400m and stay relatively out of harm's way. You can keep poptarting, you can flank and keep 300m away and you can still keep shooting the enemies. The cooldown on the LBx10 means you always keep firing it and then sprinkle the enemies with MRMs when ready.

wtf are you going to do with seven jumpjets?


And no, brawl with 2x aSRM6 and Lb10x (AC10 if you're a good shot). Don't bother with lasers here. There's little room/weight for DHS, so throwing MPLs in there just makes you slow and hot.

I'm seeing builds where they swap out the AC5 and SRMs for mass MRMs, anyone know how effective that build is?

An all mrm build is probably the best build for the quarantine. You can also do srms+MPLs, but that's not as strong. Overall it's a fairly weak hero.
