With the raising of the ghost heat for the LRMs, I decided to go back and check out older mechs. Lo and behold, I found the Zeus with some good quirks and exactly 3 missile hardpoints. The back-up weapon being the quirked up UAC5 which should never jam. The idea was to use as many quirks as possible while making a workable build.
At a first glance it felt too cold and a bit too much light on weapons... Also 4 ton of UAC5 ammo seems a bit too much because 3 tons with skills should be plenty, 2 ton should be the a bit tight, but workable if you don't spam it and aim carefully. The same goes for LRM: I would drop with 4 tons of ammo rather than 5. So, how about dropping some DHS and a little bit of ammo? _ UAC5 and LPPC are very similar for range and projectile velocity, plus due direct line of sight LRMs will achieve their best performance possible, so fighting at a distance will compensate bad hitboxes of this mech and due to range you can workaround the quite bad hardpoints of this mech... The build will be overall hotter, but manageable (simply don't fire those LPPC and you will be fine), so in the end it seems a win-win despite the LRM build P.S.: I really, REALLY love the fact that Mech DB will put a yellow star with written "THIS BUILD HAS ACHIEVED A LEVEL OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY" because I put LRMs on an assault mech.
