5/5, Works as a counter to heavy gausses, but I'm not sure how it will perform against high-DPS-high-pinpoint weaponry like 6xAC5 or 6xAC2 plus lasers: you spread the DPS, you can't rely on critting any gauss and you can't get close fast enough in mid-long range maps to minimize spread. 5 stars untill I discover if it is actually viable or not against other builds.
Yeah you rely heavily on the terrain to get in close. So far I haven't seen one of the more open maps picked in Div 1 though.
I got rekt by this in my 6AC2 2RL20 mauler on liao jungle. I had banned the shortest range maps but jungle still had ample cover to get close for this guy, where at 350m he bashed my face in.
Maximum meme variant: As much as I want to try this, I'm not toggling Endo-Steel every time I want to play Solaris.
Meme would only work on caves. In other maps all other builds will just outrange you and even regular 5xLBX10 build can go with 275 engine.
