I am really surprised this close-to-a-classic build hasn't been presented here yet. Well, it's about time, isn't it? This is a very tanky and quite mobile assault mech with a very mean alpha punch. It has the capability to shoot and twist very nicely. The energy hard points are very high mounted, 2 of them being as high as the cockpit, allowing effective ridge peeking as well. These are the (current) quirks for this thing. I marked the relevant ones for this build in bold. BLR-1G(P) Additional Armor L/R Arm+14 Ballistic Weapon Cooldown 12.5% Ballistic Weapon Range 12.5% Medium Laser Heat Generation -10% Energy Weapon Heat Generation -10% Medium Laser Range 10% Energy Weapon Range 10% PPC Velocity 20% Medium Laser Duration -10% Laser Duration -10% Missile Weapon Cooldown 12.5% I am using the 1G for this because I own the (P) variant for extra C-Bills as a kind of icing on the cake. The main downside in comparison to the other variants are it's rather limited torso twist ankle, but it works quite nicely nevertheless. Sample result: There is an XL version available as well. This thing is as fast or even faster than a lot of IS heavies. I prefer the STD version though as I lost one ST here countless times. But each to his own I guess.
5/5, this is abosutely sick in terms of damage output. Also, I prefer the XL (i have a 385 in there) because of the speed and twist advantage it offers... this is more like a pretty beefy heavy and the hill-humping potential is hilarious. Honestly I think it is the best build currently.
5/5, I've been using a similar build but with an xl engine. I love the speed it is able to run and it suited my play style
Personally I am really digging this loadout but with one of the LPL on the right (or left) arm depending which side. Allows better usage of slots and the poking ability is nice. The arm mount is high enough and comes in handy poking. This also lets you shoot down uavs and stuff.
