Well, I was unable to fit DHS, but with an XL engine, fit 60 rounds of gauss ammo.
It's slow, can not turn worth a damn, but man, does it pack a massive punch.
Only issue is the armor... as there is not much room at all for proper setup.
Any suggestions where I should prioritize armor allocation?

No Armor? No speed? Forget about the heat. A Jenner's alpha would tear you up. No have no chance to survive, make your time.

Hopefully posting in a troll thread.

Nowhere, that build is dead the moment anyone spots you.


Either by LRMs or by pretty much anything that can circle you as with a XL 145 you can go 30kph tops?

It's a build for sniping at long, long, range.
For close combat, it would be GG.

Max speed with 10% boost 38.2 I think.

Quite silly build. If you like single target huge damage single blast build then go with atlas RS with 4 PPC's. With that you can have max armor, huge movement speed (61) and not have to worry about ammo. The heat absorption is also decent. The damage difference is only 10 and you won't get one shotted by one small laser.

hooo my god ... hum perhaps if you hide behind an Atlas ;)

no forget ... need more armor to survive .... need more speed to be effective (the time you arrive on your spot... the ennemy will be allready eliminated ... or you will be the last survivor and not survive more ^^)

and the problem is heat ... you will fire your ppc and shutdown ^^

hum ... wait perhaps for the Stalker for this build :)

I have something similar,
2 ERLL, AC/10, 2 Mlasers.
Maybe ease up on the weight with the Gauss for something lighter?

This build would be good if your laces move with you and protected you as you did single shot kills.
If you have 3 buddy willing to do it you have a blast trying to cap. :)

IF, you trust your team mates enough, to cover your flank, or you have a back to a wall, or in a narrow corridor, I would say put most of it in your front on your torsos, one leg (you move slow anyway, so why not try to cope with one leg?), and anything you can spare in your arms.

But please keep in mind, you'll have to make one hell of an alpha strike to either kill your target, or some serious chain fire, single fire skills, and not miss a target.

The main issue would be your weak points, which is everywhere. Risky, but I'd recommend trying it out with a good team (A drop of 4 required) at least once.

While max speed is 38.8, it is in fact able to fire the dual ER PPC and dual Gauss at the same time twice before force shutting down. Seemed like a fun build to mess around with and not be used in serious play. Just pushing the Catapult to its limit.

i hope you are not in my team with such a mech...

sniping ? every1 with a lil brain in his head.. and spots you... and see your loadout would know : okay hes a 1 shot.

serious... that loadout is bad tho its an idea.. but you need either more armor or atleast 70kmh.
