    The biggest thing I love about this build is the jump jets being fully utilized, while adding a significant arsenal to any team. Being heat-aware with this particular build is extremely important. Otherwise, absolutely 4 star all around. Tons of fun, good kills, and good times! Thanks for the share.

    This is what I use, when I've played with Heavy Metal.

    If you can stay out of the thick of things this does massive damage to enemy mechs just like the Cataphract 3D but with much more armor behind you, a longer jump time and cool killshot music clips lol However, BE WARNED, if lights get in? It is a bitch to try and track them and fight them off as they circle around you at 150kph.

    Yeah, get a keybind to cycle-fired ERPPCs to help you shut down ECM lights, then nail them with some streaks.

    I finally actually bought this mech. Here's the build I settled on, and it's very effective:



    In game I found that the 5th JJ is not needed. I could dump the 4th JJ as well, but I can't fit much of anything else anyway.

    Here is my variant of jump sniping. Granted you cant jump as high, but I think low jumps are key to jump sniping anyways. It gives great protection as it seems you get singled out playing the highlander (dunno why lol)



    Tips: Fire ppc, then ppc+gauss, repeat. Save those alphas for under 75% damaged mechs. SRM the lil guys! GLHF

    Whoops forgot that std 300 engine was for another build I had here ya go!
