    Named as such because it mixes AC and LPPC, but their projectiles will end up behaving very similarly


    It's hot, it's slow, has a low ammo count but has a darn nasty DPS at range as well as pinpoint capabilities.

    Quirks will fill the gap between AC5s and LPPCs:
    • 10% energy range quirk will increase LPPC optimal range to almost 600 meter, close enough to AC5 optimal range: 620 meters
    • 10% PPC velocity boost will increase PPC velocity to 1540 m/s, very similar to AC5 1500 m/s

    If left unchecked, it will deal 820 potential damage but, on the other hand, it will be able to unleash that amount of damage in ONLY a minute of glorious dakka.
    I don't take any responsibility if you try out this build, and do not try out this build if you don't have already maxed skills.

    I was extremely suspicious of this build, but you know what? It works. The inherent mobility of the Warhammer (torso twist, turning) makes it actually viable. Momma likes.

    I like it... possibly. Alternate take, mixing UAC5's and LPPC's:

    Bumping due to 20th april 2021 update.

    Now this build has even better burst DPS (LPPC cooldown decrease from 4 to 3 seconds) and no minimal range on LPPCs!
    I've also updated AC5 / PPC speed values

    I've been testing this in my new black widow. Dabbling between this and the UAC5+AC5 combo, but both are very fun to play and pretty damn powerful! I'll see which I pick in the end as my favourite. Haven't yet run into a situation where LPPCs having no ammo plus the easy 30 damage alphas sync outweighs their heat in comparison to the UAC5s.

    5/5,
    The nipple mounted hardpoints have fantastic convergence! This mech has put out some good damage results so far. Just enough ammo!

    5/5,
    Strong build of course, when main IS weapons can all be CT. Went XL and 1LPPC, need ammo
