Reserve the AC/20 for the variants with more energy slots. What you're building is a glorified Hunchback that weighs half again as much without the associated qwerks and has no access to jump jets.

The MAD-3R is the PPC variant. Classic build or bust, but a 300XL will net you enough weight savings for two AC/5s.

>>135196957

I've seen worse. It's an A1, what's he gonna do, mount Streaks instead?

Don't mount streaks.

The trial Catapult has dual ALRM15 and dual ASRM6. It's slow and mounts an XL, and hence fails at living, and that thing resembles it strongly, only without silly things like using Artemis.

Not using Artemis is silly here, and he'd have done better just going 4x5 if he didn't want it.

>>
>>135216528

>>
>>135216528
Go fast. Shoot people not looking at you.
The HARDEST part of playing a light mech, 90% of your work, is fighting the netcode and terrain to keep your mech moving. Light mechs are 90% movement and 10% shooting in terms of skill, which is a far cry from a heavy or assault where it's all about being positioned right and aiming properly.

This is my build. Sometimes it does very average, sometimes it brings home 1000+, but overall it works a lot better than my other shitpiles while remaining fun. Got me my highest match (1270+) of all time. Unfortunately I rarely remember to save screenshots whenever it happens. I attribute it partially to lucky solo queue stupidity and people just not understanding how to fight an XL Classic Marauder, it's like it blows their minds so much they waste all their shots at my legs.

>>135236754
1M is a missile variant (so not that great, 2 launchers), 3M is an AMS variant (which will eat up almost all of your offensive tonnage, outclassed by the 1E for energy), 3S is an upgunned missile variant but you're still not doing a lot of missiles for 20 tons. 3V is an "upgunned" 1V but it doesn't have quirks to make 2MPL better than 1LPL on the 1V. Pirate's Bane is nice in my opinion since it has ECM, but it's real money so definitely not until you know you love the Locust and say "I wish I could trade some firepower to be invisible"
1E is really your best all-rounder, 6ML or 5ML with better heat management.

3m has much better energy qwueriks though. 4spl is enough to be relevant with them. Dual ams with modules is pretty dank, and at 20 tons it's probably one of the only builds I'd recommend AMS on to be actually helpful because of your mobility.

I think it might actually be viable in the most retarded of ways. 75 ton heavy with full armor, 83.6kph with Speed Tweak, 22 Alpha but 5.38 sustained DPS with a shitload of impulse from the triple AC/2 chaingun. If you got behind someone with this build you'd seriously ruin their day.
If it wasn't a ridiculously expensive XL engine, I might actually pay the Ferro tax just to try it out.

The 3M is the PPC variant or small pulse laser brawler, it has the highest general energy cooldown quirk with arm mounts. The problem with brawling is that a Locust is not made for it and will fare badly in any other situation than backstabbing distracted mechs; that's why the 1E is so strong (tis a poking Light). The same parts used to build an LPL 1V can be reused in a 3M for a PPC or an ERPPC.

Now, you've got specific monitors and I'm only willing to research general information for you, but here's the deal:
Asus manufactures their own displays, down to the panels and everything.
Acer uses panels from other manufacturers, which some googling tells me is generally Samsung.
The meme response of course, is to buy more Samsung products, so you should get the Acer monitor. If you're competent however, you'll dig more into those panels because Asus has some proprietary tech that gives them faster response times, or at least they did when I was buying a monitor a few years ago.

Maybe if PPCs didn't have trouble with hitting targets for no damage (non minimum, straight on shots) they'd get more use, but there's something fucked up about the projectile.

Nah I get it, we'll have to agree to disagree. In my experience the weakness of Orions is that they aren't agile at all so I refuse to run them slow and make the problem even worse. I anticipate heat issues with the build I'm running but I'll just suck it up and probably regret it later.

If you adore the Phoenix Hawk go for it, it looks a little lackluster but it will maybe probably get some great quirks and a couple of them are gonna be good robots (the energy boat variants).

The Kodiak is the best grabdeal they have available right now for sure if you're into it.

Any of the old packages, like Clan Waves or Resistance 1/2 are a good deal too, especially the medium wave, if you like the mechs. Those will give you colors and camo schemes which the new one-off packages don't do.

I'd also probably buy a little bit of MC with it to buy colors you might like (black and white for instance), or mechbays.

> not sure how I feel about buying a mech I could grind for c-bills but colors might be worth it.

Understandable completely, they do give you a nice bit of extra mechbays, premium time, and the colors though, that's the only reason I mentioned it. Those packs aren't a bad value if you don't mind the fact they're not money exclusive anymore. I only brought it up because maybe you like two of the lower tiers or something, for instance 40 bucks for the Crab and Wolfhound if you really like the Crab and Wolfhound would get you some decent swag along with them.

If you don't want any of the other grabdeals, buy some MC. They have the deals with MC going on that can get you a free mech + mechbay with them.

It's not an impressive matchscore but my first impressions of this chassis are good. It feels really maneuverable for a 64.8kph 75 ton heavy, and the armor held up reasonably well although all I was blanketed with was LRMs. Going to need more combat experience before I commit to it and the low-slung arms are a bit of a turn off but they're not actually that bad compared to a lot of mechs.

Are the skills really all that important? I looked at them and they're so tiny it feels pointless, or is the module slot the only worthwhile thing?

I wanna try something new, Cauldron-Borns qt but I've been using it since I started playing.
>>
>>135325236
ACH is by far the best investment. You could even go as far as to call it the best light hands down, although the Firestarter does give it fair competition.
The Adder is less of a light and more of a Cicada type Pseudo-medium.
The Jenner IIC is more of a missile focus, although it does have a laser variant. This is probably the only substitute for an ACH I'd accept in terms of clan lights. Kit Fox is another Pseudo-medium, doesn't really do light stuff at all. Finally the Mist Lynx is a super tiny 25 ton light and it just doesn't pack any real firepower. If you want a clan Commando, go ahead I guess but I can't see it being anything other than shit.
>>
>>135325438
Yes, doubled basics and the elite skills that matter (fast fire and speed tweak) are game changing
>>
>>135325438
An elited mech runs faster and cooler, so yeah it's a pretty decent deal. Module slut is also a significant boost to your mechs fighting capacity.

Nigga you will FEEL those skills, when you elite your mechs you get double basics and that shit makes all the difference. Unelited Mad Cats feel slow as shit and overheat like fucking crazy.
>>
>>135325438
Yes. Speed tweak and fast fire is big and getting elite doubles basics.
Ebins are some if the best mechs in the game, with no real weaknesses. If you suck in then, no other mech will change that. Gotta git gud.
If you wan't to get something else in the meanime, ask youself what you'd like more: lighs or mediums. If lighs, get on the jenner IIC bandwagon or cheetah. If mediums get a stronkcrow. Stay with clanmechs for now to fill up a dropdeck eventually.

>>135326329
In most cases the Prime chassis is the best variant of a clan mech. For the ACH, it actually doesn't matter that much. Each CT has slightly different movement quirks and the Prime CT is rather balanced in terms of turn and Accel/Decel. The reason you'd buy a Prime over an A-B-C is because a Prime chassis comes with Prime omnipods so you don't have to buy a whole bunch of Prime pods (instead you just buy a couple C pods)
So yeah, I'd buy the ACH-PRIME first and then get an A/B/C later to elite the chassis.

i see your point and while i dont personally think artemis on that many srm4 is worth it and i personally would prefer having 2 more heatsinks and more ammo..well its really up to your preference.
just move 2 tons of ammo that are in the side torsos into the ct if you dont intend to put a launcher into it.
if you have already bought the artemis and the launchers with it at least try it out before swapping to no artemis.

Fresh out the tutorial what do?
>>
>>135340703
Play your 25 games with the C-bill bonuses, buy a solid IS mech, like a blackjack, hunchback, or something. Don't buy assault mechs. Clan mechs are too expensive to elite as a new player.
>>
>>135340703
Play your fist 25 matches, and do your best, then report back here for advice on what your first mech to buy. You'll most likely be told to get a Hunchback or a Stormcrow.
>>
>>135340906
Does the variant matter? Because I'm looking at the Blackjack and there's like six variants of the same mech.
>>
>>135340703
Play trials
Good trials:
Lights;
Arctic Cheetah, Locust
Mediums;
Stormcrow
Heavies;
All of them, Orion is slightly less solid but still usable for a trial
Assaults;
Not sure about the Awesome or Warhawk, but Battlemaster and Direwolf are alright.
Try each class and find out which you like.
>>
>>135341103
The best Blackjack in my opinion is the BJ-1X, but the BJ-3 is good as well. Buy one of those two as your first Blackjack- you'll need 3 eventually.
>>
>>135341103
Each variant has its own different hardpoints, engine sizes, and quirks. Pay attention to them. Always ask what good builds are for a mech you're thinking about buying, never buy before you know what you want to do with it.
>>
>>135340703
Send an in-game hyperpulse to Cmdr Harabec, Vassago Rain, Connor Sinclair, Dudebot, Pizzadog, Commander Kit or Inappropriate Name 0001. One of these people will be able to initiate you with a Trial of Position. I can't guarantee what will be asked of you (that information is OpSec 5) but generally speaking you'll either have to fight one of them, defeat several lower tier members, or return with proof that you've defeated an enemy of Kong. If you succeed you'll be allowed into our group. If you fail, our pocket janitor bans your IP from the thread :)

Welcome to Kong, little mechwarrior.

I recommend hyperpulsing Vassago Rain since he's a cuck who's bad at the game and that'll provide you the easiest Trial of Position.

Two things you can do.
1) Read the new player's guide.
2) Pick a trial mech and play some matches in it, then try a different trial. Do this for 25 matches.

Once you've done both then you can buy your first mech. You'll get some recommendations as to what that should be.

It's not P2W, it's pay2notgrind.

http://metamechs.com/mwo-tier-lists/

This isn't a bad way to get an idea of what folks consider the most effective- after all, that's usually the meta. Hint: Too many fucking lasers (with occasional dakka or gauss ballistics).

Note that having lots of robots does not = good. Just buying robots and making builds off something like metamechs still means you have to learn how they perform, how to use them, and which ones fit your personal style. In short, you must still git gud but at least you won't be in a true shitmech doing so. Likewise, you're going to have to put exp into getting them through basic/elite -> master, and that means working with at least three variants of the same chassis. Sometimes this'll mean piloting a more mediocre design to get the better one up to snuff.

Just to be clear in the lore the Jaegermech was designed to be a better Rifleman but it was heavier which allowed it to carry more firepower and armour. Which carries over into this game as well, ironically, so you're better off picking up a Jaegermech over the rifleman.

A lot of IS mechs are actually extremely cash. Check metamechs.com if you want a complete list but off the top of my head, Stalkers, Quickdraws, Battlemasters, Blackjacks, Hunchbacks, a bunch of others. All are good. Basically if it's got high mounted hardpoints and some variant with laser quirks, it's meta as fuck right now.

>>135358874
Oh, well. Atlases are strictly middle tier, not great or not shit. Catapults are pretty alright, they got a lot of survivability buffs. Onions are terrible. Victors are doable, especially the 9S, although they're not the best. Jenners are as good as they ever were with particular exception for the Oxide hero mech which is pretty much the best mech in the game right now. Spiders are not great.

Perhaps the actual tonnage is much larger, but the tonnage shown is just the tonnage that can be modified... So like a 100 ton mech would actually be 1000 tons, but you could only modify 100 tons of it. At least that's how I think of it.

>>135364349
Those first two matches don't really matter. I and other people have created tier 5 smurfs where we literally throw a bunch of games to stay in tier 5 longer but those players are so shit we're now well on our way to the upper tiers. It's too easy.

Also, PSR doesn't mean shit because it's a literal XP bar. If you don't suck ass you'll eventually end up being Tier 1 after many games.

>>135364707
So tier are essentially a rating of games played and not skill. If you win, your PSR goes up unless you did fuck all. If you lose, it goes down unless you carried really hard.

So if you aren't complete shit you should eventually win enough to reach Tier 1.

Just fucking read this though steambirth

Greg is a huge improvement over when he first showed up. He'll be fine, eventually.

Read the new player's guide. It explains things you'll want to know.

Kong is open to everyone as long as you aren't a giant shitlord.
>>
>>135364556
My main problem with k/d is that it's heavily skewed base on the class of mech you play assaults are always going to have better k/ds then lights by there nature alone. I think damage done vs revived is a better indicator skill. Even if it didn't replace k/d it would be nice to have it on the page.
>>
>>135365148
>there instead of their in that context
>thinking that assaults are always better

This truly shows how little steambirths understand. Assaults in the solo queue are very often left behind to die, often killed by faster mechs such as lights, who shoot the assaults in their asses.

Lights can't tank damage or mount tons of weaponry, but assaults are slow and extremely reliant on positioning.

Not gonna disagree on damage done over kills, but lights shit on assaults so often it's hilarious.
>>
Normies and Steambirth OUT RIGHT NOW.
>>
>>135364298
>They should change it damage done vs damage received.
But that would just favour lights.

They should show kills most damage though.
>>
>>135364298
K/D is worthless if you hang around 1.0. Starts to actually reflect the players level if you're over 2.5+ with lots of games.

Attention all NORMIES and STEAMBIRTH

The Kong lords will NOT invite you in to their drops in the upcoming weekend session. Any attempts to disturb the Kong lords in-game or mumble will result in banishment from Kong. Do not attempt to ask for invites, you will NOT be invited. Supreme Kong lord Kakos will be there to supervise the drops. You have been warned.
If you do want to get in the future, first you have to do the following things;

>Get good
>Stop being steambirths
>Stop being normies

Of course the points #2 and #3 are impossible for you, which means you will never be welcome here.

Thank you.

Aside from the fact that they are highest tier assaults for clans.

Definitely one of the better buys from PGI. I like it more than the archer... some pretty sweet builds, if you like the jagger, rifle is kinda the same. Its surprisingly efficient, meta mechs gives it a tier 2 rating. If its between rifle and archer, I would choose rifle anyday.

I'm disappointed that the Archer didn't have a ballistic variant, and the Rifleman didn't have a missile variant.

So the archer is actually kind of fun to use, clunky as fuck to set up correctly buildwise though.

5W is not as annoying and "LRM SWARM" as people might think. SRM doesn't really seem like it'd play well with it.

All 12 of your enemies have a pinpoint damage alpha that will open your torso from 500 meters. They all have excellent aim and mastered metamechs. You can't get away with anything silly or fun like a machinegun build or a light scout mech, or even some chassis full-stop.

Really it's not fun at all. The reason a lot of us have smurf accounts is not because we enjoy shitstomping pubs, it's because we hate tier 1.

If you really enjoy playing lights then locusts are fine. I picked up a pb&j during one of the hero sales but didn't play it too much.

Be aware that even if you didn't want to play the meta build, you have no choice, the mg's have to be removed since they blind you when you fire them.

To really make the most of those sorts of lights, you'll need to play with throttle decay and replace your forward move button with a max throttle button as well as utilize the reverse button. Juking forward and back and innately knowing weapon reload times on enemy mechs is critical to playing any short range locust.

One other important thing you'll have to keep in mind is exactly how the back hitboxes work on every mech and whether you should be shooting at rear ct, rear st, or just legging.
