In several cases its just the lovely omnipods you'll want.

In case you're wondering why.... the 21st will be full of jump jetting Direwolves; dual ER PPC poptarting Nova's and 4 ERML/ 4 ASRM6 Timberwolves.... among other things.....







etc etc etc.... (stolen from a variety of places but I can't remember where except for the last which is @Soy )

 

dont u mean april 21st?

 

I will get the SCR and Timberwolf hardpoints for sure, then my lonely nova might get 2 friends with the poptarter.

Jumping dire, to those who tried, is it really worth it?

And I might get the WHK chassis too, I like the mech and the build with 4MPL 2LPL and 2srm6+A would be the best for me, but the C variant would be needed.

 

Ta... edited.

After all day gaming and part of the night my brain went to mush.....

 

Yeah, which is the reason I will be getting it, stripping it down and using a the LT and RT to improve my Gauss/SPL build. Then I will probably turn the S into some kind of laser boat..

 

Translation:
Adder: Allows for ballistics in both arms.
Kitfox: Option for 4x Ballistic(4x MG)
Mystlynx: If you like your arm with 1E2B then it is ok, the other arm is ignorable since you should be using ECM.
Nova: Yeah, 2x ERPPC in the torso, but it is hot, really hot.
Stormcrow: Tried 3xSRM4+xSPL and it is impressive. Yay for even more energy hardpoints.
IceFerret: You can finally do things like 5xERML+1xSRM4, or similar combo. You need more energy hardpoint, but not that special.
Summoner: Shit. Nothing new here. Unless you like quirks for UAC jam. Mostly not worth it.
Timberwolf: Yay for 4x missile hardpoints without having to get JJ.
Maddog: If you like 2x ballistics... then again 2x AC + 4/6xSRM is deadly.
Direwolf: You HAVE to mix omnipods. ONE JJ is enough, and makes lots of difference. Also, you get energy harpoint for head. Great for AC builds.
Warhawk: Energy CT finally.
Gargoyle: Really, you are going for that 6E arm, the body is shit. But 12x SPL assault going 80+ mph is scary.

 

I can underline this. Got the Nova-A. It's still manageable.

 

Make sure to use each arm that gives -5% heat for -10%.

 

I forgot about this.

 

Most do tbh. The quirks change stripped away the negatives on a few of the worst mechs like the Nova and left them with just low level quirks but they do help.

 

When the mechs come available for sale, do the omni-pods become for everyone independently as well, or do you have to own the base chassis? Either way I'm saving my C-Bills, I just need a plan of attack.

 

ugh, time to redo all the damn loadouts again... That's 140mil cbills just to buy the mechs plus changing Omni's on all the mechs you already have.

I only have 75mil banked right now, and that's before doing Urbie loadouts

NO

Use A arms
This is very important. This stops you from cooking yourself off.

You are doing this build wrong.

I posted about this specifically in the thread!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I didn't mention it enough, but, it's much better than Prime arms. It just is. You can try 1/1 as well, that's decent, but still a bit more internal cook.

I dunno how or why that build up there is the 1/1 with the S arm, I rarely run it like that... I fixed it in the Muffin Top thread.

 

I'm going to get the reinforcement warhawk when t comes out on the 21st. I like that center torso energy slot. It will make my Gauss Vomit that much more powerful.

 

Wait, are you confusing your quirks? The A-arms have a 5% Energy cooldown quirk each, which means that you can fire 10% faster with both of them, which seems to me would be even hotter. The Prime-arms and S-arms have 5% Heat Reduction quirks.

 

ugh................... yes backwards use the S[prime] arms or 1/1 S/A......... i should pay more attention instead of multitasking lemme fix this

i just know i have it right in mechlab

k fixed - long story short that build above the "A" left arm should be "Prime" (for some reason i thought the S right arm should be A, derp)........ that's the 1/1 subv. above.................. anyways it's fixed on the build thread, gg

 

I am sooooooo confused now.....

 

The Nova gets a quirk pass tomorrow. You might want to wait until then before planning appropriate omni pods.

 

Muffin Top just went legit:
