Med Laser or ER Med Laser.

Also been enjoying the ARROW IV system in MWLL lately.

[SilentWolff]

LBX20 - Close encounters

[DamoclesGuard]

In CBT: Rotary AC 2's and 5's.

In MW3: Ultra AC 10's.

In general: Autocannons.

Though Gauss Rifle is a close second.

Medium Lasers take third place. Being one of the most balanced weapons in the game.

[Ryphus Trebo]

AC/5's with armor piercing rounds. Let the crit fun begin.

For tabletop there is nothing as terrifying as a mech with multiple SRM launchers or LBX-AC shooting something in the back, sooner or later it is going to crit hit and if it's target has ammo on board that ain't gonna end well...

[UncleKulikov]

Rotary Autocannon 6.

For MW4 - [...] Artillery Beacon.

Owens + 2x Artillery Beacon + 1x Heavy Medium Laser + ECM = 'Oh look, lets make that Poptart Pop! Oh, look at that, I somehow got 3000 points! Oh, look! Someone one shot me. Looks like I'm only worth 300p to your assault. I can keep this up all day, guys. =D'

That said, when talking about Battletech, I find it funny that no one has brought up the Cappie Plasma Rifle yet. Same range and damage as an LBX AC 10, but with a nasty bite of heat on top of it. One of the few weapons technologies where the Inner Sphere arguably has the tech lead on the Clanners, especially when their attempt to reverse engineer it flopped into something akin to a gigantic flamer.

Beyond that, everyone loves the bread and butter known as Medium Lasers.

AC 2, pre clans it was the longest range period. Even your LRM's had to get closer to hit me, didnt do much, but love the option to stay the hell away from ppl. Especially the giant 100ton sized people, they hurt

[Aleksandr K]

gauss canon for long range
medium laser ER for medium - short

[Bowrrl]

Hatchet

In the video games, AC20.

[Lusankya]

Large caliber AC (Ultra, normal or LBX) and Large Laser.

[Alizabeth Aijou]

Hm... on second thought...
Does C³ count as a weapon?

[Fiaura The Tank Girl]

RAC 5 with C3I.

[VoxeL]

Machine Gun & Flamer!

But seriously — Clan ERLB20-X URAC with Capacitors & Chargers

And if at all seriously, of course — 4 * LB 20-X AC (or at least Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle 40).

Medium lasers in bulk.. hard to beat

[Dmitri Valenov]

Autocannons are the way. Big bore for up close and smaller caliber for ranged combat.

[Daneiel]

I like to be at long range - out of range for most of the leapons - PPCs , Gauss Rifles , LRMs and ERLL -thats are my prefered ones - if notice i love long range mechs with good speed so i can destroy my enemies before they come in range to fire on me - I loved Adders Prime config 2 ERPPC good speed for everything that can be dangerous for me is slower and most of them dont have weapons with the same range - you can choose to engage the target or not .

[XHound87]

I'm going with the clanner Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle. That HAG40 hits awfully hard.

Also still a big fan of the medium laser. Tried and true.
