Plays very simply and has a better range profile than most variants I see. Peeping with the Gauss and following up with the triple LL volley. It can maneuver quite decently with its acceleration quirk, jump jets and reasonable speed for an assault. In terms of tanking/brawling it has great survivability between the almost fully armoured blind side, insane armour buffs, jump jets and extra torso yaw. Just be aware the gauss arm has structure not armour buffs. I've been testing out slight variants to swap in half a ton more gauss rifle ammo or case for anti gauss explosion survivability - sacrificing some of its armour on the shield/leg side. Quite happy with the JJ but you could lose the second to increase gauss to full tons and add case. In all honesty I can't remember if the torso gauss will protect against the arm mounted gauss exploding ergo one reason I've not been running with it.
