Casual Deathstrike "Standoff" (2xcUAC10, 2xcERPPC, 1xJJ, cXL350)

5/5,

1 rating

2xUAC10 + 2xERPPC, if you have the hardpoints and heat management, are an excellent combination. The Deathstrike has the heat management, pretty good hardpoint locations, and even a nice 20% UAC jam chance quirk. The ERPPC's are nice and tight together. The arms are wide and not super high, but they're not bad hardpoints. A 70 point alpha (with double tap) effective at 540 meters is naasty. All told, this is an excellent mid-range peak type mech. Better vertical peaking than side peaking, but can do either decently well:

Fire groups:
1. both UAC10's
2. both ERPPC's
3. chainfire ERPPC's.

This doesn't give you individual control of both arms for when you might have a corner obstruction, but it is the easiest for shooting double taps.

Try to play at a midrange standoff distance, wearing the enemy down over time, although you are very capable of closing distance if you sense an advantage.

 

Probably the best variant to run this setup, even more than MCII-B if the missing lower arm actuators are not a big concern.

I personally dropped the single JJ for max armor and an additional ton of ammo, but that's my taste.
