Pretty much the best loadout of a very unspectacular variant. :unsure: Another DHS would be possible by shaving of some armor from the legs and the left arm. Every bit of cooling is worth it on an energy boat.
Yup. This is the best 5SS build out there. I just whacked a Battlemaster from full with 3 alphastrikes and killed him just as I shut down.
For me, this is a bit of an awkward variant as far as hard-points go. Almost all energy on a mech this heavy... Seems like a hot coffin. Or an AWS. Not enough speed to make effective use of cover to cool down, not enough DHS to save you. However, this build is the best she gets. You can do some decent sniping with PPCs in the right shoulder with that EPIC high mount, but, this is still the way to go. Run hot, run coolshot. 5/5 for the variant.
This is how I roll. I put the large lasers in the arm actually. I use target info to look for open compartments or weak arms and dual Lrg laser to pop em open. Lots easier to target that bubble on a weak spot than the torso reticle. And I can jack up lights as they run by. Had one match with 18 component destruction.
Basically my HBK-4P -1 ML +4 DHS +2 kph. Very killy, and this thunderbolt is playable even without 4/4 elite doubled heat reduction bonuses That said, I still prefer my hunchie because of its looks.
I cut one of the ML and some armor in order to push the cooling efficiency a bit since I hate shutting down.
Almost the same as schnaetz's version, but i put my LLas in the higher right Shoulder hardpoints for better Ridge-Sniping. The rest is almost identical. Btw fantastic weaponloadout! I love Laserboats
The Laser Warrior is a close to medium range protector. It has good survivability, good mobility, and good heat. The two large lasers are positioned at eye-level and it is important to use it to your advantage. Standard engine Good heat Critical slot optimized
