Glory to clan Smoke Jaguar!

Why the Bloody hell do they have to make ir so hard by adding the kill/KMDD requirement into the objective. I have a hard enough trine with these close range configurations without getting blown up. The kill and win one should each be a separate objective. Otherwise, players like me will ignore the event and write it off as being impossible. as is it will jam the queue causing long wait times. heavies and assaults are the two most popular weight classes, unless there is an event running.

Thank you MWO for this Stone Rhino Challenge Event!

Actually getting 5x Kill/KMDD per Stone Rhino variant is the least challenging Event from MWO!

And with Stone Rhino amongst the top damage dealers in MWO, you should not have trouble getting KMDD.
~Just concentrate on hitting one enemy, using only alphas if you can, get his side torso blown off, & you usually have a KMDD.
~Rise and repeat until you get 5x KMDD. Voila!

Finally, here are some Stone Rhino build ideas to help start you off!

Also, MWO Streamers are starting to post Stone Rhino build ideas too!

TTB: Various SR variants!


NGNG: SR-3


DATA: SR-K

I watched this video. This is outrageous! You promised, that there would be no pay-to-win in your game. But what is it, if not it?

[P H O T O N]

PGI, please take the upper and lower arm actuators out of the arms in the SR-6S!

There are no hardpoints there, the actuators are useless and consume vital space for heatsinks.

Just a question about the SR6S. In the past we have always gotten a standard version of the Cbill variant. I find myself wanting the standard version of the SR6. So, will the SR6S be available as a Hero version once the Stone Rino is avialiable for Cbills?

[w0qj]

Yes! SR-6 Standard Variant would eventually be available for CBills!

The (S)pecial Variant is only available as add-on to the Collectors pack. (A Standard version of this Variant will be available when the Stone Rhino Standard variants are available for MC and/or C-Bills).

They are a bit flimsy but they can dish out the firepower.

Mechs with a high alpha like this have been in the game for a long time. This particular example isnt even that great in most engagements because of the LBX/SRM spread. In very specific cases this and the Scorch are strong, in most others there are similar or better builds.

Hello, i just want report that on the Stone Rhino 7 variant missing his AMS hardpoint from his right torso.
I miss that Ams hardpoint because thats the only way to mitigate Srm/Mrm brawlers damage a little bit.
This is a battlemech so always have at least one ams or not ?

it's not that hard to do kmdd just means you've done the most damage to a mech... i've alredy got 2 on the SR-1

[WJP]

What next new mech?

Please Kerensky "no":
It is already a strong mech, which can run unique builds. No need to remove the lower actuators for (C)-DHS tankers. and wy also the upper actuators?, would be way out of line to other mechs.°°7

My guess is, it will be the longbow

I am sure. It is already in MW5 expansion.

I haven't seen any Stone Rhinos in Quickplay . Apparently they are primary red bullseye targets so nobody takes them. Which is depressing because I spent the money on it hoping to play it. I'm hoping the issue will be different in Faction Play.

[Strelok7]

Question. Does STONE RHINO's cannon, on top, move around to follow the arm unlock circle target?

That would be fresh to have a mech that has 3 arms essentially.

[w0qj]

Very good question...

Just tried it out on my SR-1 (with lower arm actuators), dorsal cannons stay fixed to body, even with arms unlocked.
