Gauss Rifles will be best for her style.

[Steinar Bergstol]

PPC, Gauss Rifles, LRM and AC/5 have all been mentioned. There's also the option of the AC/2, which has the longest range, but lowest damage of the Autocannon class weapons. A mech with several of those would be a cool-running long range direct fire machine.

[Colaessus]

Its called a Catapult btw.

All you need is a scout mech.

Thanks all for the support

I was already considering the gause for weapon...ppc never crossed my mind though as a long range weapon

answering a few questions
she snipes for head shots and im sure she likes the feeling of being in control from a far
i know there will probably wont be one shot kills but judging by the speed of some of the larger mechs i dont think it will matter we can call it 3 shot kills or whatever im sure an atlas will stay in my girls scope long enough to pop its cockpit

and as for the comment "get a new GF"....your kidding me right? lol

[Codius Dakanius]

remind me never to get on her bad side. i play sniper on bf3 too. good ones are bad news,

[ManDaisy]

You guys are all wrong, if shes a dedicated head hunter a trio of large or ER large lasers is the best. Odds are you'll have better luck sweeping over the cockpit several times then landing a lucky shot head on.

[Joe Mallad]

I also want to add that if you are looking for Range with power, your best bet for her (depending on if she wants ballistic or energy based weapons) would be...
(Ballistics) Gauss Rifle at max range of 660 yards

(Energy Weapons) PPC at max range of 550 yards OR ER Large laser at max range of 580 yards.

Keep in mind that the PPC will probably have a charge cycle to fire so may not be a great fast fire snipe weapon and the Gauss Rifle and or ER Large laser will probably be your best bet for both range and damage.

I also want to point out that at launch we will have both ER Large lasers and ER PPCs but I want to point out to anyone that thinks these are Clan tech... they are not.

IS ER Large laser... max range is 580 and Damage is 8 and is 5 tons
Clan ER Large Laser...max range is 750 and damage is 10 and is 4 tons

IS ER PPC... max range is 690 and damage is 10 and 7 tons
Clan ER PPC...max range is 690 and damage is 15 and 6 tons

well you know what they say if your enemy is in range so are you its not like she will be able to shoot and expect no resistance, and remember there will be atlas with gauss too

[XXRAZERBACKXX]

thats true with the lasers but what im counting on is there will be a knock back from a cannon and also the "***" factor of when you just got hit with a heavy cannon from god knows where and you clumsily look around in all directions while the sniper lines up the next shot

[ManDaisy]

Devs stated earlier lasers have infinite range but reduced damage over range. PPCs with charge time was an invention by mech assault. Its pure nonsense! That is unless you using these ... http://www.sarna.net...i/PPC_Capacitor

While it may be very rare and or hard to get a clean head shot on most mech in this game... If you have a high powered weapon that can do 12 to 15 points of damage, she will be able to take a head off. It does not matter the weight class of a mech because the highest a mechs armor on the head (cockpit) ever goes in Mechwarrior is 9 armor points and 3 internals I believe.

[XXRAZERBACKXX]

Oh yeah she also likes the catapult out of all she saw lol

[Redshift2k5]

There won't be one-shot kills (not with a single weapon, anyway) but skillful, well placed shot can be very rewarding! Skillfully placed shots may be able to target head modules, remove limbs, and focus fire on critical areas (such as an enemy sniper's gauss weapon, or even enemy ammunition storage)

[XXRAZERBACKXX]

yes and i see team work is somthing this game is going to have a huge focus on

then she would be best to take the PPC version of the catapult and strip the PPCs and add ER Large lasers in their places. OR Strip the PPCs and replace them with as many Medium lasers as weight would allow and use them as protection weapons for those enemy that get in closer. And then add the Gauss Rifles to her left and right torso where she has the Ballistic hard points.

[XXRAZERBACKXX]

doing that i may want to strip all her armor (****) in order to add heatinks cuz the amount of heat will be outrageous
