Mine was an Annihilator in MW3, loaded to the brim with 16 machine guns, and enough armor, cases, and ammunition as the bloody thing could carry. It took a pounding while it closed to range, but once it got there, it would rip just about anything to pieces in minutes.

What's your weirdest, or most unorthodox build you've made guys?

[Scott Decoy Stone]

[aresfiend]

MW3: Daishi with 4 Clan Gauss rifles with only enough ammo for 8 salvos, but that feel of instantly coring my enemy Annihilator was worth it.

[Exilyth]

MW4 mercs mektek 3.1
Nova Cat with 12 targeting lasers
Urbanmech with a thumper artillery cannon

There's not much I didn't try in that game.


TT
Light mech (custom ofc) w/the biggest xxl engine, xl gyro, small cockpit, a little bit of armor and 2 medium lasers or 2 m-pods, depending on variant.
Quite fast, low on BV and when it ever stops, it's dead.

If I can find the .ssw file again, I'll post the full specs.

How effective was it?

[Gnatstomper]

In MW2 there was an underweight bonus so I would use a Firefly (the lightest mech option) in missions where it was viable. With enough tries I also used it to pass the final rank challenge to defeat four heavies in the arena.

In missions where you only had to complete checkpoints or destroy buildings I would max out jumpjets (you could use for horizontal speed boost) and max engine and equip it with just 1 small laser.

You zip around the map and nothing else has a chance of killing you until you stop to destroy the mission objectives. Hunker down behind what you want to destroy and the other mechs would often do the job for you.

[Anuri]

Supernova with 6 er lasers and no heatsinks. I dont remember if it was mw3 or mw4, but when you did aplha strike your reactor exploded...

[Baron Rastignak]

Annihilator in MW 3:
4 ER PPCs at arms
4 ER Large Lasers (2 at arms and 2 at side torsos)
4 ER Medium Lasers at side torsos
All weapon - Clantech
+ Beagle Probe
It could only work when it was really cold outside, but that gorgeous feeling when one-shoting a switched off Timber Wolf from the max range...

[Saladin Yussuf]

Wasnt mine, but a Daishi with 3x Clan ultra AC/20s. think it was MW4?

I think I ended up removing some targeting lasers and upping the heat sink count because it overheated too fast. With the adjusted loadout, you could watch the armor on vehicles, lights and mediums go down gradually, but heavies and assaults would take you down before you got through half their armor.

[Pinto Schnyder]

Artic wofl with full reflective armor 2 ultra ac2 an srm2 not much punch but it didn't matter when over half of the mw4 mercs comunity had setups that set them into intense overheat from so many lasers an generally shedded armor to fit all those lasers >


in mechwarrior 2 code enabled

[CabooseJr]

MW4 Merc
Gladiator w. 15 ER Medium Lasers and 1 LBX-AC 20,

It could 1 shot almost anything, but instantly shut down due to heat issues

[Redshift2k5]

wow.

This is why MWO has a hardpoint system

[CG Chicken Kn]

Most utterly ridiculous? MW3 CZ UA league Daishi. 4 Clan LRM 20, 12 Clan Streak 6. With Artemis for the LRMS. And a wingman with a NARC. At under 380 meters that's 152 missiles per volley. Would pretty much one shot ANYTHING. Though that was just for giggles really. And one shotting silly C5'ers who brought their no armour mech to a C6 game lol.

Also a 190 kph 16 mgun Strider on Train Station. Poor overheated Avys.
Normal C1 mech was 14 Clan ER meds in 2 groups @ 149 kph in a Strider. Most points of damage possible per shot (7 meds) in the game.
Well, most damage without actually killing yourself.

[PanzerWolf117]

gauze only on a flea in MW4 Merc. lol fast and a good sniper LOL NOT.

Most likely. Can still have some armor at the expense of speed, though the trade off of less armor is getting in closer faster to use them. I'm a big fan of the Annihilator with 4 LBX 20s and two heavy med lasers. I think the MWLL Analog with two LBX 20 and two LBX 10s fits well: the Beatstick
