Placeholder until I get home from work. Essentially this takes what I assume is one of Mythweaver's favorite builds (LBX+ML combo) and places on the mech with the maximum hardpoints to make it happen. Name comes from my favorite weapon in Doom 2: the double-barrel shotgun.
Ah yes, I forgot to post it. I will have to play with it a bit when I get home, but I'm thinking dropping the engine to 255 XL and the armor by 16 to fit in another DHS and ton of ammo.
Update: so uh...apparently there aren't any slots to do what I said. Your build is about as min/maxed as I'd be able to make it.
i hated jagers at first, but almost more than any other mech that I can recall, the Elite/2xBasic really opens this mech up to be reasonably solid.
lol, you made me try the dbl barrel shotgun. it is fun, but i get a little disgruntled when you're brawling and just unloading the lbx10 as fast as it can go and it seems to take forever to get the kill. Plus, I run out of ammo with this build... sticking with the 2 uac5 for dakka over boom. ugh. I hate you guys. My 2nd game with the lbx10 to try out, I go up against NGNG on Alpine. Did 350ish dmg but only 1 kill against a non-NGNG. If I would have had my uac5's either Sean or Bomb would be TOAST. TOAST I TELL YOU! I would rate this build a 1 for ruining my match if I was the vindictive sort.
Yeah... Only 45 ammo is a little too miniscule for my tastes. I would strip some armor and take out a heat sink for a couple more pounds of ammunition. That's just me, though.
This build is really, really strong. I consistently get 500+ damage a game and at least a kill. This is the build I've been running. Only tweak is one less heatsink, one tonne of armor taken off the legs, and two tonnes of LB 10-X ammo added. Love it.
I just love the LB-X, 2 of them are even more fun, add 6 MedLasers and it´s just wonderful Did some tweaking to my Firebrand with a similar Loadout Took out 0,5 tons of Armor and 1 Heatsink, while adding 1 ton of Ammo und putting in the XL300 Engine for higher Speed
My K2 "Roomsweeper" and I would like to have a word with you and your 'mech out back. Well, two actually. Well, one word said twice. That word being "BOOM!"
This mod got moved from another post, sorry author didnt see we had a similar build. This build gives me a bit more heat management and armor. Haven't used it yet so please try it and tell me what you think. Light on the ammo load out but will tweak some more in later. I will probably end up using the top build minus the AMS since some very reliable sources say it isn't that important...(See comment below) and instead add 2 more tons of ammo. I like the speed, efficiency of the second build as well. Minus the AMS and 1 ML gave me this... Note the New engine.
You will definitely want to add more armor and may want to think of AMS. Personally, I rarely run AMS - you can usually stick with teammates that have AMS/ECM. However, 30 rounds is a bit low for a ballistic. Great loadout for speed, armor and armament.
Started running this today (so many derelict UAC5s in my mechbay now.) Here is my version of this build. Loving it so far!
