SHD-2H 'Snapshot' (1x AC10, 3x SRM4, 1x MLas, XL300)

5/5,

1 rating

after running the various SSRM + large AC builds i came to the decision that SSRMs were not effective for hunting lights on a mech going less than 100kph, and inefficient for fighting larger mechs, so i rebuilt the 2H for more of a striker/urban fighting role. I kept the AC10 and XL 300, as they give good range and speed. Swapping the SSRMs and beagle for SRM4s gives the mech a more concentrated punch, though at the expense of accuracy.

 

This is a great build. I was just about to post it, but I saw you beat me to it. Absolutely one of my favourite mechs to play.

I moved some armor around, added another heatsink and 3/3 Jumpjets:



Here's a version with an LB-10X for those that prefer:

 

strip those armor and lasers and go wild who need a backup with 1400 potential damage ?



LBX10 version with less brutal stripping (or you can keep the same and add 5th ton of SRM ammo)

 

I've been using this build for Scouting missions since it packs a nice punch and moves quickly. Upped the engine to an XL320 to help keep up with the lights, and wound up dropping the medium laser after a few missions, since I was finding it was basically useless.

 

This is a great mech a I have a few well performing builds for it, but currently this one topped them. I have a little twist on the original build, replacing the arm laser with 2MGs under the AC10. 1st game out it came back with 6 kills, plus a few solos and KMDDs. Solid performer ever since.
