GHR-5P 'Mecha Weta' (3x LLas, 5x MLas, 4x JJ, STD280)

4/5,

I scoured the Sarna wiki page for a 5P variant of the Grasshopper, but came up empty. A bit odd, seeing as it has a lot of things going for it. Two separate 'zombie' slots, a total of eight Energy hard-points, plus jump-jets. With the shield arms, it's somewhat reminiscent of a smaller, more mobile Banshee.

The Mecha Weta is all about survival. Near full armour, a Standard Engine and good manoeuvrability from its full compliment of jump-jets. It has good fire-power at short-mid range, but will run a bit hot however, even when mastered.

 

I might switch to a different build once double basics are unlocked, but this is a sturdy and heat-manageable one to use in the meantime.

 

Hot, but manageable so. Sturdy, which is nice, because it's not very nimble without double basics.

 

It's rough without the Basics, but that's to be expected. The heat, though, really isn't that bad, truth be told, so long as you break up the medium lasers. And it's a hell of an alpha within 270m.
