HBR-F "Crit Machine Mk 2" (6xcERML, 4xcLMG, ECM, TC 7)

5/5,

1 rating

Updated build for new tech and extended range and crit seeking.

Work in progress pending testing.

Alternate with higher dps and more damage at shorter range.

 

Theoretically, you can squeeze 42.9 damage out of 1.25 seconds by firing the four HML and then 0.5 seconds later hitting the 2x ERMLs.

I did a bit of testing last night with 6xERML and I liked it. A couple of 800+ and 900+ games that didn't seem extraordinary.

I thought I would like the all in one alpha, but the bigger factor was the range of the ERMLs. With TC7 and skills, I was able to have an optimum range of 500 meters. A lot more useful all around. The machine guns are still helpful for light determent, extra dps and shredding opened mechs.

 

Since MGs and LMGs have short range, why not use MPLs? They have better DPS and better damage over heat, this build also looks extremely cool, so you can loose 6+ DHS and still have 45% heat efficiency

You could even replace MGs with LMGs for ranged crits.

 

I use the machine guns because it is cool and the long burn duration lends itself to unavoidable face time, so go ahead and use machine guns.

If you are thinking about MPLs and brawling, you can torso twist easier and could do something more like this:


or a bit hotter


I also find the difference between firing for 43 seconds and 17 seconds to be huge, especially on hotter maps. That can be the difference between a 500 damage match and a 1k+ match.

 

I might have to try that. I've been running a pretty mean crit build of my own...I should probably post it in its own thread, but it involves heavy larges and an LB10X, so you can probably figure it out.

 

I Love this Hellbringer build!
