GRF-1S "Grifball" (2x SRM6, 4x MLas, 3x JJ, STD275)

5/5,

1 rating

This my current brawler build.
It is perhaps a tad slow but i prefer the longevity standard engines offer, even though Griffin lacks CT or Head hardpoints to make it a true zombie. By twisting and jumping, i've managed to survive very long (and even without weapons, you can always take a hit or two for your teammates, or capture something). And this is cheap, mere 7 million or so.

I reckon some might prefer to have Artemis with SRMs but i do just fine without it. Downgrading the SRMs to SRM4s allows adding Artemis without other tweaks.
Alternatively one could replace the SRMs with a LRM15 for long range support. That worked fine but i feel it was a bit unfocused, a generalist mech.

As for the name, being a Halo player, Grifball was the first thing that came to my mind...

EDIT oops, the armor values are wrong. Fixed.

 

Welcome to mechspecs!

If you want 2x SRM4 version you can go faster even.

 

Didn't think of that but i don't find the speed increase to be worth it. Though perhaps i should try it first...

 

Well, seeing that you did not post the variations so I toy around with it a bit.
With the cost of one DHS you get all these. Some prefer SRM4 for more accurate shots.
Oh I updated it, posted an unfinished build.

 

Works well, especially since the -1S has weapons on both sides. I'm currently running an SRM6 with Artemis.
