    I got the Dragon Slayer the other day and decided to pick up another Victor today, namely the VTR-9B.

    Lo and behold.



    Perhaps a tad too much UAC5 ammo and not enough armor.

    Comments? Critique?

    good amount of ammo but you have to get endo for more armor and double heat sinks on it for cooling.


    maybe something like this:


    an alternate to get bap in there so you can target ecm with your streaks would be:


    Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of JJ outside of movement and I shoot uac5 like no tomorrow so I'd go with this...

    I've found this build to be much more effective. Streaks just don't improve the high alpha or the DPS enough for me to validate them on this mech right now especially since they no longer go straight for the center torso. While not very solid at fighting lights, this build packs enough of a punch to gut anything dumb enough to try to take it straight up or anything that wants to weather the storm of shells. The UAC5s are good for poking people at a distance and hammering anything that stands still. The SRMs are a good solid backup for the close fighting and the MLas are mainly there for when you run out of ammo.

    I don't know about that xl350 Ulvric - you're giving up 2.5 tons for 2.3 more kph. If you were using the 4th engine heat sink that's one thing, but you're not.


    I'd personally downgrade to a xl340 and up bring the uac5 ammo back to 200 (+2 tons) and up the leg armor (+.5 tons) for the difference and replace one srm6 for an srm4 to get 1 salvo blast instead of 2 (and add AMS like the original builds - there are too many lrms now a days to go without this). You could also drop 1 ton of uac5 to get 175 ammo and up the srm from 100 to 200 if you find yourself using more SRM than UAC5.

    My version that I just started using:


    I'd like an extra 25 rounds on the UAC but I'm not willing to part with anything else. And yes, I know it is sitting at 79 tons. I like Satisfactory's version above and I'm interested in trying it out with the 175uac/200srm ammo counts.

    edit: yeah, dropped down to an SRM4 and added another ton of UAC ammo.
