6x MGs were fun, but it got old pretty quickly, and I could not measure up to more competitive builds. So I present to you the Explosive Arrow This is a pretty standard Boomjack, with a twist. Armor is stripped from one arm because all energy hardpoints are in the torsos, resulting in almost maxed leg armor, extra heat sink (and nifty C-bill bonus). For more ammo, drop the extra heat sink and put in the extra ton of ammo if you can stay alive long enough. Similarly if you want more jumping power drop the extra heat sink for 2 more JJs. So far I have had comparable results to my Boom Hawk 2D, but I have to pick fights more carefully with the XL engine.
It's fine if you're after the 30% c-bill bonus, but with 20 less degrees of torso rotation the Arrow won't be as good as the BJ-1.
You're right Epikt. Which leaves me only 1 choice, make this build even better So I made it a little slower, but made full use of the 3 Ballistics slots on the other arm.
