NCT-C "Vomiting Dakka Cat" (3xcUAC5, 4xHML)

5/5,

2 ratings

My favourite loadout so far. When you're heat is low, you can do a respectable 70 alpha if you double tap. The enemy mech will most likely try to move to cover so you can continue spaming the UAC/5s. With the the right skill nodes, you can continuously fire your UAC/5s when running hot. The HMLs are amazing at finishing off mechs. I find that I win most engagements.

This mech is a little squishy so watch your positioning and try to dish out damage if you're certain you'll win the trade. I personally strip the leg armor to replace the 1/2 ton of ammo for a single ton because my survival tree has been maxed out.

EDIT: This build can be made with any variant but the NCT-C will give you a -5% UAC jam chance with the NCT-C right torso.

 

Oops, I meant to put 6 tons and not 5.5 tons. I personally favour more heatsinks so I can burn through CTs with the HMLs. I found that ~6 tons is a good amount but only if you have the magazine capacity skill nodes which gives you about 432 shots. It definitely gets toasty with 4 HMLs, but you can definitely afford to swap some heatsinks for more ammo.

The 8-quirk set gives you -5% LBX spread, -15% UAC jam chance and -10% energy cool down. The jam chance is great but you're limited to 2 energy points in the left arm. You could make it work with something like 2 HLL. You could even do 2 UAC/10 and 2 HLL to maximize the quirks which runs cooler.

 

BEtter as above suggestion, only replace LA with prime version, uses 3UAC5 3HML keeping -10% uac jam chance...only loses 5% for another HML (10dmg)
