EBJ-PRIME "Boom Boom" (2xcUAC20, 3xcERSML)

4/5,

2 ratings

Dual AC-20s on the right side, make for a fearsome punch, the little space left is given over to ammo and some small lasers that act as back up weapons, or add just a little more punch in face to face encounters. Total DPS is quite astonishing when you can double tap the AC-20s!

The key to not over heating is chain firing the ACs, then tapping for your second shot every 1/2 second later, otherwise you get some horrific ghost heat.

After much play testing the only way to keep the 3 SMLs which are useful and have enough ammo was to strip the left arm:



After much play testing this is what settled on as the most deadly solution, i highly recommend Seismic Sensors for it:



I masterd my EBJ with these other builds:

EBJ-C "4 Jay" (3x cLRM20+A, 2x cMG, 2x cSML, cTAG, cAP)

EBJ-PRIME "Main Gauche" (2x cLPL, 3xcMPL, 3x cERSML)

 

Love this build

 

After running for some time, i also tried a version with no small lasers and more ammo, usually enough for a Pug match. It has a slightly slimmer profile as it does not have the top mounted Left Torso Lasers pod, which is larger than the Right Torso Ballistics pod.

 

I have to admit, there is nothing great about this build. It doesn't last long enough for PUG, Group or CW. Definitely scares people but doesn't have the longevity to make me want to play it anymore.

 

Did you try stripping the left arm? I found it wasn't a problem after that? I also use the lasers to stretch DPS, as they increase heat, they stop you from over spamming the AC-20s.

 

After considering the Ammo issue i have been running a varient that swaps out an AC-20 for an AC-10:
This has 3 advantages:

1. You can fire both ACs without Ghost heat
2. The AC-10 can be combined with 2 ER-MLs to give superior mid range performanc
3. You have room for more ammo, and the AD-10 doesnt chew through at the same rate as the AC-20.

 

Best compromise I've seen.

The Dual 20 works okaaaay on a Jager, but, this Jag lost it's pounce. Dual clan 20s are too hot, too bulky and spread way too much damage to be as intimidating as the IS Boomstick.

 

Dual ultra AC20 dont work for me too hot real too hot and not enough ammo

 

So after much testing this is where i ended up and its a happy place. Deadly in close quarters.

1. You can fire both ACs without Ghost heat
2. You have room for more ammo, and the AC-10 saves 2 tons and its ammo is lighter.
3. You can now mount 5 cER-SMLs

This makes you able to unload allot of damage in a small time, this is the way of the Jaguar. Think of pouncing upon your foes then quickly disappearing behind cover again. Think like a medium, punch like an assault!

 

Using the build in the previous post -
This score is representative of a fun match with this build. Whilst only a 784 i got 4 Kills and at least 2 Solos. Unload on those CTs an rake in the C-Bills!!

 

Biggest issue with this build, is that all of your important ammo is stuck in your shield side. Do you just face tank?

 

Just 2 UAC20 for me too.
