    I don't find the PPC quirks that amazing. Yeah, easier to aim with 50% extra velocity, but only 10% heat reduction? I figured this would be a fun alternative for building a sniper. If you want you can have both ERLL in the same arm for convergence. Plenty of ammo for the high mounted Gauss, the ERLL are mounted a bit low so heat should be fine when near cover.



    Building process:
    - Decide that I want a high Gauss and that Marauders are cool.
    - Preferably keep the same engine as the mech starts with to save costs
    - Add 3 t of ammo
    - Fit Endo because I'll likely have the crit space
    - Add 2x ERLL, then 2x ML as backup weapons.
    - Fit 2x DHS to support ERLL(+ML)
    - Increase armor
    - Fit FF because I have the crit slots
    - Add extra DHS and extra ton of ammo
    - See that I have 1 crit slot left, and split 1t of ammo into 2x ½t for critpadding.

    For me those 50% velocity combined with -10% heat reduction makes this variant tick for me. The only build I'd give those up on the 3R is the 3x AC5 + 4 MLas one - If only I wasn't using 3 AC5s on my Black Widow already....

    3x AC5 +4 MLas is also what I'd run, like a mobile Banshee. But I wanted to build something different :D
