Currently running with quad srm6+artemis,and that's it,and the rest is full of ammo and HS,1.76 heat iirc,and about 675ammo without repairing fir ammo(saves LOTS of money ),and I don't give a rats *** about peppering my post with big words,so yeah,just wanted to share my build,and also,aim for the head for enemy cats and awesomes,aaaand torso shots to most of the other mechs,does about 60 damage at 150ish metres(before the rockets split up)every 3ish seconds(?). Also try to hide behind atlases/damage soaker,just pop out n in hammering the enemy,this setup is more of a support/scout killer

I've been using something similar, but with 2LL in the arm for better range.

4xSRM6 w/Artemis, 3xML... can't remember the ammo count or HS total... but been pretty much running this build since the AWS-8R was put in game...

Very nice build IMO and my personal favorite...

To be safe I'm aiming for a bit 10-11 million. The XL engine will add a lot to the price, so I'm estimating based off the AWS-9M price.

Sort of my go-to -8R when I was playing with those in closed beta. Still totally viable, but I stopped running AWS at all when engine restrictions came down.

They apparently go for canon prices so like 13.6mil, check the battlech wiki sarna for prices of mechs it usually matches ingame.
