Trying to figure out how best to use it. Wondering if I'm complicating life by using the missile hard-points instead of just upgrading to UAC/10's.

2 UAC/5, 2 MRM10, 6 ML

Opinions? Thoughts? Improvements?

i don't know i find 2 MRM-30s work well on a mauler. (my 2p(s) i think runs ballistics but i run missiles on another one i think). i have a Mauler that runs 2 LLs, 2 MRM-30, and 4 MGs. does rather well. yell the missiles make huge targets but that is where positioning comes in. i almost never die to a CT kill in it though and since i don't run XLs it tends to give me that little bit extra time on the field

(yeah just checked and my 2p(s) runs two ultra/20s and 6 mls. its the M90(L) that runs the missiles)

I run mine with 1xAC20, 1xLBX20, 6xSL. Seems to wreck face pretty well at my PSR (T4/3).

Good hunting,

My thoughts on that chassis...just dont stay still for a microsecond.
Maulers are fast to be cored.

1. Mauler MAL-2P: it's just crying out for bigI UAC build! 2xUAC10 or 2xUAC20 with Lasers if you ask me!
+20% Jam Chance
-25% UAC Heat Gen

2. There are MAL-2P build ideas in monthly free mech guide here:

3. The thing about MAL-2P (and IS tech in general):
Weapon systems are so heavy that you need to specialise in usually just one area:
~specialise in ballistic, then add lasers, or
~specialise in missiles, then add lasers, or
~specialise in PPC, then add lasers (but I'm not crazy about Mauler's lower energy hardpoint height in the arms)
Do have fun with various buildings of MAL-2P !

i don't know even with those lovely UAC jam Quirks i still seem to jam a LOT with mine. and its not just from miss timing a double tap. i have had both UAC/10s jam on the first pull of the trigger quite often.
