MAD-3R "Dakka Monster" (3x AC5, 4x MLas, STD300)

4.8/5,

So this thing is a pretty solid DPS monster without a lot of compromises (plus it's quite a lot of fun). Each of you would probably shift armor, cooling, and ammo around to suit your tastes, but the overall idea is there.

 

Not enough ammo.

 

I agree. I've personally shifted things to fit in a fair bit more ammo as well.

 

I run a STD 260 engine in order to fit more ammo. I really enjoy this build !

 

Keep your final speed at 60+ It would be faster. Helps with turning too.

 

Saw this in action tonight. Pretty bad ass.

 

Great! Best build I've seen so far for this variant.

 

Great build, broke 1300 with enileph's version.

 

I also like enipleph's equilibrium, great use of a STD 275 and gives enough ammo to keep that the potential for 1k from ammo alone.

 

This guy does 800+ damage in a game, was using my variant.
Runs out of ammo after that, savage.

 

With some new tech... ER Small and Laser AMS

 

This is a great build & it looks kickass too!

This is my take on it. I feel that with the ammo skills unlocked, 5 ton ammo is sufficient so I picked up two extra Heat Sinks instead.

 

Still one of the best and funniest build for the Marauder!

 

Sir, can I see your skill tree?

 

I may have to try this over the double UAC5 / PPC variant. I was always on the fence about how good the arm PPCs actually were. One thing to consider is deadsiding left and getting a pair of LPPCs instead of the 4 medium lasers. You're still running a very cool build, but you get a bit more alpha out to the range of your AC5s. I have a hard time seeing value in those left arm MLs even if you do get rushed, because the torso agility of this mech resembles a slug.

 

This really has promise. Will be testing this today unskilled. I'm doing mine with the Std280 and 6 tons of ammo, which gives me 210 rounds unskilled. I suspect that when this mech has both ammo nodes unlocked, I'll be able to remove the ton of ammo from the CT and put a TC1 in there instead to have a little more zoom and the other perks. It's plenty cool enough like this.
