I bought a hellfire void just to test whether it was good or not because of this thread. I really hated it after i tried it.
The hardpoints of the same type are split between arms and torso. Agility is just awful, even with masc. Hitboxes are bad and i got blapped fast and often. My only good round was a 4 LPL build on alpine peaks where i had 10 minutes of uncontested alpha striking.
As soon as i got engaged up close... not good.
It needs more agility i think. Closer to the champion would be great. As it stands i really dont like the Hellfire.

It is going to get more agility with the new patch. Nowhere near that of the Champion, but it still is getting a fairly large increase.

That's great news! I can deal with the hitboxes and funky asymmetrical hardpoints, and the low hardpoints, and the gun barrels that stick out of the torsos and increase your hit area, but the agility.... that kills it for me.
Glad the Cauldron is retouching this one!

2 gauss + 4ERML @64kph is okay on open maps. You can do 2 gauss + 5 micro @81kph if you want to be faster. 2xUAC10 + whatever laser/speed trade off you want isn't too bad either. It's only 2 skill nodes different to switch between the gauss and UAC builds too.
It's not a meta mech, but it's not too bad for something that was regarded as a meme for a while.

64 kph?
No wonder some people are dying.
No way I run a 60 ton Mech with a modifiable engine that slow.

Not bad but depending on variant.
I got B variant going over 85, currently almost 95 after RPG tree is applied.
