So much fun, albeit in a slightly masochistic sort of way. Reckon I would have hit a 1000 dmg if it wasn't for Tourmaline, which saw me overheating.... a lot
When I owned these trash, I ran 10 smpls. That way they are all arm mounted and alphas get less ghost heat. Also 26 dhs instead of 24. Still a chore of a mech to run, but probably the best build for it.
Well, I am not alphaing anyways so no ghostheat. I was going left-right-left-right with the SPL and they are quite effective that way.
Yup, that's also what I do. Do that two or three times and then haul ass to cover to cool down. Speed is one of the few good things on the GAR that makes this hit and run workable.
I recreated this from Pooty's comment, seems like a good, less hot alternative. The fact that you can choose to fire 4 or 6 can also be beneficial for managing your heat when you're unable to turn around and hide, at least more effective than chainfiring the things.
