Grid Iron hero mech, -30% cooldown on gauss did not apply to Magshot.

see https://mwomercs.com...-19-march-2024/

your answer is in there (hint: working as designed)

MWO did say that the relevant quirks would also be made to work with the new weapons in the April patch…

I believe they will be paired with MG quirks, not gauss. edit - thats for ammo it seems.

SB Gauss might work with the quirks from the get go.

AP GAUSS and MAGSHOTS are explicitly in the Ballistic and AC quirk families. In April we get adjusted ammo quirks

And yet it clearly stats they are Gauss in the literature, and GI is buffed for Gauss cooldown. Just saying.

Who cares about literature on behalf of MWO? Gauss in MWO also have a charge-up phase. Would you also like to have that on Mags and AP Gauss? MWO and Battletech may share the universe and foundation, but not the rules.
And the rules as of now are, AC quirks apply to Magshots and AP Gauss. Grid Iron has no such quirk. End of story.

Can you please find me any mentions of these quirks in lore too?

Picking and choosing lore bits doesnt really work to begin with and half this game aint canon. For a good reason.

Besides. Nobody should be using Magshots on Gridiron. The Silver Bullet is disgusting on that thing, SBG Gridiron is a fifty-ton rail gatling cannon.

SB + Heavy ppc is the new snac that isn't range limited and has no ghost heat by combining them. I was watching some of the guds play those builds the last couple of days and 1200+ damage games were regular simply by being able to engage at ~any~ range and do meaningful damage whereas snac was strictly brawler stuff. It will be interesting to see if they keep the current ghost heat mechanics.

This is clearly stated in the weapons stats: Quirk Families: Ballistic, Autocannon

They might have gauss in the name but as far as the game is concerned they are autocannons.

Also plasma cannons according to the literature are projectile ammo based flamers and do no physical damage.

We dropped lore off at the bar a few years ago so it could drown its sorrows after being booted from mwo balance.
