Its quite simple, really, or it can be stupidly complex and intricate. your choice. You can make one up or you can call back to one you did in previous mech installments.

For myself i once stripped a daishi of all its armor and what little speed it had to fit three longtoms on. Alternatively, i stripped MOST of its armor and slapped on as many Clan Machine Guns as I the omni and ballistic slots would dare hold.(Mechwarrior 4)

During a night match i took a cougar and fitted it with flares. Oh Christmas trees were everywhere.(Mechwarrior 4)

One of the guys in our gaming group did a Machinegun Betty. I think he had 8 or 10 machine guns on his mech and fast speed. He'd run up and just unload MG fury!

You mean like the Piranha?

On my part I saw a hilarious discussion on an imageboard which won't be named that involved a Charger and enough rocket launchers to cause it to melt into a puddle of slag if it fired them all at once.

I had a Puma with 1 longtom and as much ammo as it could hold..Nothing better to make snipers move, and in big games I could normally win in points..Wouldnt really kill anyone just give um a sunburn.

I really do not want to get bitten by this mech.


And I never made any super silly mechs as far as I remember. But I had no interest in lore, etc. when I was playing MW 4 so some strange combinations may have been made.

[Rathverge]

Wasnt this the point of MW3? Pick any one weapon and see how many of them you can throw on? Flamers, Mguns, AC's, SM lasers, M lasers, PPC's, streak SRM.... just pick one and throw as many as you can in every orifice.

[LordKnightFandragon]

Ive done a Flamer mech on something in MW4 to see how much heat I could put on an enemy....didnt work quite as well as i had hoped...

I didn't know such a thing existed! I will have to share this with Rob and look up it's details myself. We were using only tech available in 3049 so dunno if this was even available to him. Thanks!

[Soturi05]

In MW4 i once made a Dire Wolf with every omni and ballistic slot filled with machine guns and every energy slot filled with small pulse lasers and then a SRM 6 to top it off.

Cant forget about the missleboats, the little missleboat vulture that could actually knock down a assult mech with 120 lrms!!

[Stormwolf]

I once built a Timber Wolf with 13 medium pulse lasers and 3 ER small lasers, it was instant shutdown upon firing.

For MW2: GBL I once built a Dire Wolf with 2 Arrow IV launchers and the rest of the mech was filled with ammo. The destructive output was amazing.

[Zedera]

My cousin and I once went head-to-head with a pair of Nova Cats sporting nothing but Flamers, duking it out in the desert at daytime. It was a race to see who could shut down the other first. I won.

[Strayed]

I once created a mech loadout in mw4 mercs with 3 lrm 20's and narc. Then once I hit the enemy with a narc beacon turn around then fire. People were getting confused how I was firing backwards, although laughing that I managed to shoot myself.

This trick also works in MW2: Mercs

[Felicitatem Parco]

In MW4:Mercs I built a slow-moving Annihilator with 4 RAC/20s and set the fire-control to cycle through each weapon automatically between shots. The beast could fire non-stop rapid-fire AC/20 without any jamming until I eventually ran out of ammo.

My favorite was alway a shotgun demon with a Madcat. 2 ClanLBX20, 2 ERLarge Lasers and the engine ramped up as much as possible. Nothing like making an Assault Mech blow its top standing up.

Yah I made a cougar loaded with one ppc and flamers and took it against a friend in a nova cat. Had to prove to him you can easily take out bigger mech with a light. You got to use it against mech loaded with alot of beam weapons once I got him over heated I planted electricity in his cockpit and burned him out while he sat there in shutdown mode.

[Alekto Serenis]

MW3 base for any madcat, the pepcat, toyed around with the lab until both ppc fired from the shoulder pods, the rest was basically a "fit what was needed", which usually meant heatsinks

On the TT i have some mechs that have been quite their own

ClayPigeon, a 25 ton with some er micro laser, little armor, and one big *** huge engine and masc, it barely could been hit as it always moved so fast most enemys got a +7 or more

OMFGWTF, my level3mixedmunchboat, 100ton, Hardened and composite, 4/5/4, a rac 10 with alot of ammo, 2 full arms, tsm, and a couple med pulse and micros to keep it at 9 heat from turn 1, you do not want to meet this atlas refit in a city

Trolol, 75tons, Stealth full, 2 lrm 15, couple tons ammo for tactical selections and a load of electronics, this wasnt meant to kill the enemy, its only a supporter, but if the rest of the lance did fit, a enemy couldnt do **** against a long range crit hunting bitch

And my personal mech, rpged it out, 100ton, hardened, composite, c3i, angel and bloodhound ecm, weapons have been a scavenged atm-12 4 F-is meds and a F-is uac10 and for the lols a nullsigsystem. Its called Frankie

like a leigioneer with a ppc

[Demi-Precentor Konev]

I used Solaris Skunk Werks just last night to put together an Atlas with 4 RAC-5s on it. It had some pretty decent damage output but the range was nothing to write home about.
