A little hard to do 5000 ballistic damage in a 2K. Might have to bust out one of the others...

in the K

[ScrapIron Prime]

My 2K is working. 3 LPPC, 3 MRM-10. Zero Air/Arty Strikes.

I have 5-6 shadowhawks not my favorite mech tbh so i avoided this Event, i even have 2 of this event mech.

[ScrapIron Prime]

I’ve got 5 of them already myself, including two 2K variants. (I had multiples because of ye olde Scouting mode in faction play. The 2K ruled there.). The quirks are lackluster on the Shadowhawk because of the awesome shoulder hard points, and the 2K has the best hard points of the series.

Can I still join?

[ScrapIron Prime]

What I'm having trouble with (because most Shadow Hawks are undergunned) is getting ballistic damage in the event with a Shadowhawk.

Here's the 5M I'm running, but I can't seem to clear 460 damage (minus air/arty). Any fellow 'Hawk enthusiasts with advice?

Your setup is basically fine. A bit much back armour for my tastes, and you can lower head and left arm armour to incorporate either another heatsink, or sidegrade to a single LPPC to get more pinpoint downrange together with the UACs.

But the best Dakka-farmer for me ist the 3x RAC2 SHD-2H.

[Gagis]

3RAC2 2H is one of the absolute most effective damage farmers I have ever played.

The 5M can also do UAC10+UAC5 with a smallish engine for better burst damage.

I'm running Shadowhawks for this event too. Will post some screenshots when I work out where to host the images

[1DEWPOINT1]

I was anchored by a new guy and was allowed into T5. This is just my exploits of the lower tier.
I just farmed hard.
It is my 3uac2 build.

999 looks like the best so far

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Only got 921, but my MS was better

[PocketYoda]

Just saying machine guns do lots of ballistic damage a match, people over look that..

SHD-5M
I'd run that myself but i tend to brawl. in behind the assaults works best if the team works well, also the above would send most lights away or to their death.. Add whatever back armor you feel you need.
