HI GUYS

been leveling this new VIPER F, and last night someone ran with me, and it was GREAT, he is now half way leveled, i also ran in to a clan that was running 4 of them, they did ok but had no cover.
i ran with a guy, that had EMS cover he picked a target in open chat, and that BIG mech was dead in 3 seconds,
its a support mech, with high speed, and jets too 10,000 feet most fun, oddly i am still making best match score on, snowflack timber wolf, the one with a few LRMs not a boat, and he has a 59 point alpha, just fun

I am happy to hear that you were having fun.

That new viper is a beast.

I missed the Viper f(l) sale will it ever be available again? Or is there a way I can replicate it?
OR what is a decent viper build? Thanks.

You can pester MWO staff on the MWO announcements (the 'discussion' thread displayed in the said announcement), and hope that they will manually add in the Standard Variants of these Loyalty Mechs:

Viper VPR-F
Urbanmech UM-R80
Atlas AS7-K3

It's been a few quick months since its introduction; perhaps MWO staff would by then feel charitable enough to add the Standard Variants of above mechs into MWO for MC, and eventually for virtual CBills!

(Yeah, sweet mechs, VPR-F with lots of machine guns, UM-R80 with Enhanced ECM, and AS7-K3 with JJ + lots of bonus armor in its arms!)

Loyalty mechs tend to get added to the store over time. Dunno how the new company is going to handle it because it does take a tiny bit of conversion work to change the skin over to the default green and change the designation.

[FEK315]

ohhh, HEART BREAK! I will try a little coaxing to get them to release them for sale in the store. .

Mean while, do you have an suggestions for the other variants and load outs that are worth a dannn?
Thank you.

Thank you.

vpr-c knifefighter vomit is pretty fun and works pretty good. Fat and extremely jumpy laser piranha basically... requires hero and chassis with CT energy hardpoint though....

i just had a four kill game a couple drops ago. using 10hmgs and 3 micropulse for backup. it runs out but not before doing some damage.

I've changed my design philosophy on clan mg lights and the 'light' mg mediums after all the cauldron changes. Lots of range and lots of ammo and stay around 300m away and use your mobility to skirmish and flank. I'm finding my dpg and win rate on them is creeping up fast because I'm doing far more consistent damage and staying alive longer. No one expects a piranha or viper to be coring you at 300m+ after all with their mg and often ignore the plinking sound because they think its out of its optimal. Surprised a few mechs with that bit.

There’s no ammo on your builds…

Both of them have four tons of ammo, two tons of actual ammo and two more tons via quirks?

Thats 12,800 rounds before ammo nodes.

Ok, Mech DB doesn’t show the word ‘ammo’ on the builds.
