Your most cringeworthy builds.

I have no idea what this guy thought he was doing. I neglected to get a screen cap, but really? My Shawk out gunned him.

 

Sadly not as never broke the 1k in a medium.

I don't really use artie etc tbh as strangely rarely think of it.

 

Just to be clear, 4x cERML is weak even for an Adder. Adder would run 2x cERML + 2x cERLL, to great effect.

If you want LRM then use a warhawk. Definitely better.

 

Confession time....

I was checking out what my fits were relative to the new quirk and I came across a mech setup that was so awful that I had to screenshot it and self post. I have no idea what I was thinking about when I built this one beyond .... I hate this mech and must go long range!

 

Yes but the fit mate.

2 PPC, 1 Gauss with 3 tons ammo, 2 Artemis LRM 10 with 4 tons of ammo... and a 275 STD engine to ensure it moves like a slug.

Then check my armour.... 26/32/26... rear... fuck you lights.

 

*Looks at Rem's build*

*Stares at Rem*

 

I know.

My only defence is I struggled desperately with the AS7-D (F) and whatever build I dropped in would automatically end up with me on the worst possible map for it. So I got desperate....

*shame*

 

Obviously...



Lousy -D-DC build ported on the -S, with no ECM of course. To be honest I still don't know if it's better or worse.

 

The worst part is, they were both on the same side, and it had to be the damaged one.

 

There's a 5 star-build for this TBR:
https://www.mechspecs.com/threads/tbr-p-zeus-2x-cerppc-2x-jj-tc1.7177/
...looks like some1 can do some dmg with it.

 

The reasons having just 2x ERPPC on the TBR can work is because of how many DHS you can stuff into it, even using JJ and/or small backup in the form of MGs or MLs. Combine with cooldown and range modules and go to town.

 

Agreed...I would put fault with their putting both on the same side though, I imagine they learned the problem about the "too many eggs in one basket" rule when they lost that ST. Otherwise, as Solahma has shown, it can be a brutal build.

 

Have to say I run 2 cERPPCon one of my Nova's ... just in the right arm! Until I lose that arm I do a lot of damage and its a superb tarter. Shield with everything else you have. LOTS of heat sinks so can almost continuously fire. Problem is if you peep with that arm and take return fire odds are all they can hit is your weapon arm but with 5 fixed JJ you have a lot of potential tactics. Build was a note of frustration at how wide the Nova arms are as you really struggle to peep and fire through gaps without having half your weaponry hit whatever you're hiding behind. A slight problem for a medium in a game dominated by 100 ton assaults. Works very well on the new map.

 

Was playing my roommate's Jenner to help him get enough for a SCR-D, and ran into this...uh...beauty? He was barely moving, operating as an ambush turret...so you can imagine how well the match went for him.



He was slow as hell, so here's my best guess:



(He actually may have been even slower...can't remember)

 

What the bleep man?

Just go AC20, 3x LLAS and 2x SRM6 with Artemis? STD325 with 14 DHS at Smurfy 30% heat efficiency. It still works even in the clan age.

 

Not like I've got in that mech for a long time but will have a look.

Ok actually I'll look after the quirk changes....

 

That build sounds almost like a KFX:



The Firefox!

 

Now shittier, with less firepower and more ammo, all in an IS chassis built for speed!

 

Make em burn!
