Because it can. Plays like a Freak. Just Alpha at someones butt with 34+ damage and then get the hell out of there! Just to cool down for another Freakshow.

Added Alternative for up to 1K Damage. GL&HF!

 

Seven's 4 tons of ammo is probably about right, will test to see if things are great.

 

THIS.
So far this works well. If this goes on Seven's design would be a 5/5 also.

 

Almost makes me want to go buy one.

 

This is one mech I will be on the lookout for if the SRM improvements comes true tonight, I've been checking on mechs and builds with SRM's and this build will kick serious behind as a light jouster and streaking into heavies/assaults. It's like a torpedoboat vs battleships.

 

It's already pretty deadly. Over the ten pre-patch test games I did this morning I scored an average of ~430dmg per game, including a cap oriented game and the occasional unfortunate stomp, without a single consumable.

Using the "crazy ammo" variant of course, 400 missiles is definitely not enough (I shot more on 6 out of 10 games).

It does not come without weakness (1/ light vs light and 2/ very short range)(and 3/ no JJ *cry* ) but it's very powerful once you're used to it. And it's really fun to pilot.

 

787 Damage?? What the..!!!
My Respect! I can barely get 600+ with the recent hit detection. Wow

 

I have an XL 300 and it just doesn't fit in this, too few ammo or amor.

with XL 255 I run 6T of ammo and full armor, it's ok in skirmish an assault, even if a bit slow

and with the XL 300 I just skipped to this



less firepower but at least it's optimized. (still, those ammo burn really fast, would need a 5th ton).

 

"Tons of damage!"

 

This build has changed my perception of the OXIDE...
I was frustrated with the obvious 4xSSRM2 build, but with the borked SRM hit detection I saw no other solution.

Tried this build today, and with the improved hit detection, I am very pleased with the results.
K/D is quickly climbing with the blitzkreig style attacks and Heavy and Assaults are crying in their cockpits.

Thanks

 

And they say you need streaks to kill light mechs...



I might upload the full drop if I find the time to edit it. 823dmg, that's my best on this build without arties.


(I hope you like the enemies' line-up and their six 100t mechs hear: )

 

I just did some SRM-Tests with the CPLT-C4, i could deal plenty of 700+ Scores Matches with that fragile CT sensible Chicken. So i`m not even impressed that this so much faster mini-Chicken can do the same Scores.

To be serious again: Epikt, you are impressing me again and again with this Build. You have my fullest respect for your Jenner-Love!
