    Over a third of your weigth is your gun. Watch those right turns :rofl:

    Essentially a potentially good sniper due to the high energy mounts (switch to PPC for better heat). Just imagine if you could have fit that ecm at the same time,...

    Ok, bye.

    If you don't use cECM, then other Locust have better bonus on energy weapons. One quirk give 30% range and some heat reduction.
    And yes, some give cool down bonus also if you want that.

    I tried this for a while, actually found it pretty good, but the heat dissipation's too low for my tastes. Regular PPC was much more manageable, but for some reason I couldn't get the hang of it. Switched to a single large laser, but I'm going to give the PPC another try. This was my favourite version:




    Strip the armour! Yes I know it looks suicidal on paper, but in practice I found it really didn't feel any different to a Locust with full armour. The PB's speed and ECM are far, far more important than its armour. Try it!

    Alternate, slower versions if you really can't live with the low armour:

    but I think the stripped XL190 version is better :)
