And did I forget to mention it can do that without Ghost Heat happening at all?

Something tells me the following thought sums it up...
"RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!"

Why do I now have this really scary feeling that someone (maybe even someone who hates me) would decide to gift me the ANH-GZ(LGD) just to ensure my running such a design?!?!? Perhaps it may be time for me to hide somewhere?!?!?

I too would be willing to run such a loadout... was a ANH-GZ gifted to me !

Too bad I asked about the Stonecrusher, not the Stone Rhino.

except it can't alpha. gauss weapons are capped at fire 2 at any given time (you don't see it often since so few mechs can fit more then 2 but if you try to alpha with 3+ gauss rifles you'll find that only 2 will charge and any given time) (that said 5 gauss rifles on a staggered firing patters will still be something to fear)

(FYI, are in the Head, some in CT, and some in RT)

Well, hopefully those specs are more accurate than the screenshots listed at the beginning of this thread, then.

Welcome to having "metaphorical egg-on-your-face" for the timebeing, 'Kirv Goldblade', as I happen to explicitly NOT be talking about the Stock Loadout for the ANH-GZ(LGD) at all. If you had read the linked item in my post, you would have found I am talking about an alternate build that can be put on the ANH-GZ(LGD) Clan Variant which actually can Alpha with devastating effect to whoever it goes up against. Next time you're quoting me, it so happens that actually reading all of the content in my post – including linked items – before replying will do you some good.

They got the page up, but the notes for 2 Tons of "C-Gauss Ammo" in each of the legs are missing! Also, other elements of those Legendary Mech Store Pages are missing if you're running some older browser, as I found out from looking at it on an alternate device. Looks like that may force a problematic upgrade for me soon simply in order to view parts of the website properly. PGI could get some real kudos for making those Store Pages with the Battle Pass functions as compatible with older browsers as these Forums & Event Trackers already happen to be!


Makes me wish that I could knock on 'Daeron Katz's door right now and also let him know the Patch Download Link is also not present at this time! How are people supposed to get the Game's Update when they need to download it manually first, but the Link for it does not show?


~D. V. "seeing things missing with v1.4.280.0 on the website" Devnull

[Kirv Goldblade]

so the update's dropped where's the rhino (and and annihilator twins for steam)?

[Ralph Edwards]

Got the rhino and Gausszilla, love both. But there is a slight problem when placing decals on the rhino. They do not want to go where you want them but do a little hop to the left or right

[RockmachinE]

Yea just ran face first into a quad LB20X Rhino...its not fun tonight unless you're willing to spend.

Saw a 4 LPL + 7 ERML Rhino. That's almost two TBRs bolted together.
That just feels insane and I don't mean that in a positive way.

you can also do that on a blood asp, so that's not new.

This ain't power creep this is power blitzkrieg... and more PPC buffs.

The game is nearing the end of its life, we might as well go out with a bang, throw all semblance of balance and moderation out of the window and have fun with it eh?

Balance? Cmon that argument goes no where, the only game I know to be balance is chess. MWO is as balanced as it can be in every update it releases.

Someone at some pont will find some sort of edge, some way to make the best out of any mech/weapons/loadout/etc or ...you know some people are just good! Seen youtubers that would make any mech look op, it's so freaking surreal, but it does encourage me to give some of the less popular mechs a try.... except the vulcan, that mech irredeemably sucks bananas.

You can do that on a Dire with heat gen quirks and within a couple of DHS. Not really earth shattering. It’s an incredible hot build.

Also, isn’t the SR-6 not supposed to have LAAs as per the store page?

new map is screwed up whole screen is pink i can barley see anything.
