    Bought this Mech early on. Never played it much until recently, just never liked it much. Used to play my 1X more, used AC20 and 5x Mlas... Then I came back to this Mech. I love Cataphracts, btw..

    This isn't really a "get up in their face and shit punch them" build.. it's way more laid back and focuses on mid-long range (~900m with all of your weapons) sustained damage. Think almost Fire Support.

    You should be up close enough to have accurate shots, but far away enough that you can hide/fall back into the ranks if needed. With speed boost, you have PLENTY of speed (81.4 KPH) to stay far enough away. (It's very easy to keep focus off of yourself) I don't usually start charging in until we've over run the enemy team; Even then you can dish out some hatred (none of your weapons have a minimum range).

    Notes: Spamming the ER LLs WILL cause you to over heat very fast. Management of heat, however, is fairly simple. Gauss Rifle is, contrary to popular belief, still a very nice weapon(max range: 1980m). The reason behind the XL320 on a mid/long range build is mobility. As I said, once most of the damage has been done 81.4KPH will help you get in and be capable of some "brawling".

    Final thoughts? It's very easy to regularly hit ~500+ damage with this build. Also, beware of Gauss explosion. You die when this happens. Your left arm is like that of a Centurion, It's a "meat" shield since it holds nothing.

    Rate, Review, throw me some feedback! Thanks!

    Well I don't really play as a "hill sniper", but I guess it can work as that??

    That's the only input you have?
