PIR-1 'Heavy Ripper' (3xcHSL, 12xcMG, cXL180)

5/5,

I am moving away from the micro lasers to Heavy or ER Smalls. Up to your preference on range, duration, heat and alpha between the two.

I am not noticing a big difference on losing arms with 9 vs 12 armor.

The trade off here is less ammo then the Ripper. I find the extra lasers helpful if you live long enough to run out of ammo and you are damage ahead if you didn't use all your ammo before the match ended for you.

 

I feel this is more along the lines of the Locust, speed>fire power>armor.

I tried a few experimental runs with stripped armor on arms and stripped back armor on the torso and that "seemed" safer than taking the slower 170 engine. Just my opinion based on a small sample size. I would lose arms more often, but would still almost always died to leg loss.

 

This build is the reason why you should get a Piranha 1. It is very nasty, especially if you manage to sneak up from behind and crit weapons / ammo in a second...

12 dmg/s from MGs are really a concern if you find yourself on the wrong side of the barrells and you have no more armor to protect you.

 

Yeah, this is I think the best PIR-1 build. I run it slightly differently, forsaking 1 MG to get full armor on the arms and to slightly reduce the ammo burn rate.

I think going full armor/structure does help your survival rate.
