Thanks for this sale and my 3rd Sleipnir.

[TheFourthAlly]

Any recommendations for a mediocre medium driver?

I mean, I do work with other weight classes, but tend to enjoy the meds.

Depends on what you got, and what aspect of "medium play" you like. Brawl? Firesupport? Flanking?

If you mean from the current sale, then for IS, here are a couple

1. BSW-X1 3x RAC2

2. BSW-X1 2x LBx10

3. BSW-X1 2x UAC10

*All of the above can be done on the hero mech as well*

4. FRENZY

5. FRENZY SRM6+A

6. PARALYZER Lasers + SRMs

7. PARALYZER 6MPLs

Clan

1. PAKHET 2x UAC10s

2. PAKHET 2x ERPPC TC3

*Note: Or you can do the usual Huntsman builds like SRMs or Streaks or ATMs with all of the missile omnipods*

3. VGL-1 2x ERPPC + Gauss

4. VGL-1 3x ERPPC

*Note: There are many variants of the above two Veagle builds with different engines and amount of armour*

5. VGL-2 2x UAC5 + UAC10

Then there are the usual Veagle 3 with cancer and Stormcrow with streaks although the Stormcrow can do a nice pink and yellow laser drill or a combination of LBx20 and pink lasers.

Thanks folks, appreciated.

For some context, I enjoy my Huntsman hero with Srms and mpls. Also a fan of my HBKs, I started on those when you had to get three variants at the time and still muck about with all three. At some point picked up the Grid Iron and shoved a UAC20 into that one, which is fun if you don't get targeted down in the first few minutes of a match.

6mpls on a Phoenix Hawk seems to work now and then, but it's a bit flimsy for someone like me who inevitably overextends. Of course, I could stop doing that... I can occasionally do damage with the Wolverine hero we just got for free, put some lazers and an MRM on it.

Do NOT like the loyalty BlackJack we got a few years back.

I like my Warhammers and might sometimes do something useful with the Black Widow with AC10s or LBX10s. I don't mind missiles, but do not seem to make lurms work, ever. Ditto with (ER)PPCs, I must be doing something wrong, but certainly not doing any decent damage with that stuff.

If there's anything in the sale to add to my heavies, I would look at it.

I kinda suck at lights. I like locusts and arctic cheetahs, speedy little buggers to stab people with, but I do not thrive in those.

Dervish is a good pick with several MRM or SRM possibilities, so is the Bushwacker with Dakka. Treb 7M makes a formidable MRM carrier.

It sounds like you love splat builds. So, I can recommend the following...

1. REVENANT 6 SRM6+A (you can do this on any Mad Dog with the right omnipods)

2. CP-10-Q 7 SRM6

3. CP-10-Q 6 SRM6+A (a variation of the above but slightly less damage and speed but more precise missiles and cooler)

4. CP-10-Q MRM 100

5. CPLT-C2(S) 2 LBX10 + 4 SRM2 (the cooldown synergy between LBx 10s and SRM2s is just fantastic but it is slightly low on ammo even with skill nodes)

6. IV-FOUR MRM 60

7. VGL-3 no cancer

That Revenant and VGL builds look good, will definitely have a look at those. Cheers!
