Scouting BSW-X2 "Double Trouble" (2xAC10, 2xSL, XL280)

4.5/5,

The first reasonable build to leave my mechbay. Very nice conversion on the ACs supplemented with 2 laser pointers to annoy the enemy.

Learn trigger control though, you WILL run dry.

 

The only fine tune would be to swap SL for ERSL, but the the concept is the same.

The best pro of this build is the combination of pinpoint and sustained damage: if you are not shooting, you are wasting the potential of this build.

Keep you distance, keep on shooting to soften up targets and switch to hide and poke if enemy is capable to return fire. For scout I would max leg armor, but it can also work in QP or FP, despite not being capable to win trades against alpha-centric builds, especially if you can't manage to free trade.

 

When I got my X2, I was compelled to make a dual AC10 loadout, but didn't want to use an XL engine. Here's what I came up with. It's got more ammo than the OP build, and doesn't have the lasers, but makes it with an LFE. If only there was one more ton to work with, then the LFE could be upgraded to a 250, there wouldn't be a need for the external heatsink, and there could be more ammo or dual ERSL's.
