HBR-A "Rebell" (2x cUAC 5, 6x cSPL, ECM)

5/5,

1 rating

I tried to build up the "perfect brawler mech", which is able to figt in CW and also in public drops.

This was the product:



As weapon groups i run:

3 sPLas as 1
3 sPLas as 2
and the dual UAC5 on chainfire on 3

modules: advanced seismic & sPlas range 5

Do you have any improvements?

 

I've been getting some decent results for this build, though it requires trigger discipline. I actually put 1/2 a ton of armor back on and dumped the extra ammo. You just have to make the shots count and then use that side as a shield if you do run out.

 

I'm a fan of making every shot count! If you run dry with more than enough ammo, you had better be #1 in damage! lol
Plus, I like this small tweak. A bit more armor, for a little more trigger discipline equals a bit of an improvement in skill

 

I was using this at one time. It is ok I guess, since part of your job is to provide ECM you should be fine if you stick to the team.

Had a version replaced with 4x cERML, and with an extra DHS. That one seem to do better damage as a support, allowing you to use up that heat reserve for extra damage when you are not up close.

 

I've tried a few variations on this basic loadout, but I find this to be the best for me.




With some trigger discipline, your ammo will last all match, but you can go hog wild when someone gets within your brawl range. The ER Small Lasers pack a surprising punch that when coupled with the range mod, will have your lasers almost as good as IS Mediums Plus the heat is easier to manage.

You could even shave a ton or 2 of ammo for DHS, if you like. I find that I don't need to.

 

Very effective build, love it!
