Another beamer cook-up. Found this to be decent. Paired with UACs, it has decent quirks for them. Fire the 3BLs until hot then run on 2. Beamers need a little buff i think, but the ghost heat from firing 3 seems not that bad. Found this to be solid. It is also left-sided.

DPS build for fun that violates the HSL limit. Seen other mechs do it and tried with the MCII. Run all 3 until hot then keep on 2. Id call it left-sided and some extra equipment.
Going to later try a colder version with 2xATM6s.

Tried making a DPS oriented build for the A. Did try out with 3xBeamers, think this was overall better. Feels like ATMs are actually pulling the most. Not sure what the idea of beamers is with 2 HSL limit. They feel a little weak to be a dps weapon.

MCII-A 'Quintessential' (5xcLPL, cXL350)

invalid@example.com (Remover of Obstacles) — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 19:35:22 +0000

Lots of LPLs for mid-range damage.

Group 1 - Left side 3 LPL
Group 2 - Right side 2 LPL
Group 3 - Chain fire

PS - Can recreate on Death Strike.

It's sad that most anything a MCII-A can do, can be done better on a different variant...

But no matter!

It's cool enough for a filthy casual, until you lose a side torso, of course. It's got acceptable pinpoint with the lasers and decent burst with the UAC, so overall I find it pretty fun in QP. Lots of mobility and speed in that you can match any 300-engined 100 ton mech while in reverse so you can still viably fall back while trading fire, if necessary.

Not the most original build, but a good option in my opinion, given the hardpoints.

Why nobody thought about this build?

Simple brawler, intentionally hot: UAC20 and MPLs for any target above ~300 meters, UAC20 and SRMs for anything closer.

I recently found that I was lacking in the ranged department for my faction play drop deck. So I threw this together to fill in.

MCII-A "Pulse Crit Kitty" (5xMPL, 1xLBX-20, 1xSSRM4, 1xSSRM6)

invalid@example.com (Dekontoroga) — Mon, 18 Dec 2017 15:33:55 +0000

I experimented with the "A" Variant of the big Kitty and had some problems finding a Build that suits my Playstyle. Basicly merged some of the Variants that were already here, maxed out the Armor and throw in as many DHS as i could and install weapons to, almost, every Hardpoint. The Result was a mean Kitty which can operate on almost every Map if you come into the Range.

The MPL´s are for the Armor breaking while the LBX will finish off the Rest. The SSRM´s are here for a little bit of extra Damage and to get those pesky little Lights away from you.

More Ammo

JJ Variant with more Ammo

Dual LRM15 with 5MPL and 2MG is very fun on my Timber Wolf-PRIME. So on the re-imagined version of that chassis, let's run the same. Except, we replace the machine guns with something a little heavier.

Powerful, fast brawler, with LRMs to use when stuck to longer range or to soften up targets. If the lock-on time is too much, or the ammo too little (though honestly, it should not be used much anymore close range, save your heat for MPL + UAC20) consider switching to LRM10+A which weighs the same.

Asymmetric build trying to do big ballistix with this build.

Here's a non-JJ version with better cooling and more symmetry:
