5/5,

Wow, good job putting those builds together, was running the same build before quirks and thinking about going back, because i'm a machine gun addict. Anyway, this build is great!

 

This thing is pretty cool, I stumbled upon a similar arrangement when I bought my Arrow. I was trying to recreate the 3 LL version, but only had 2 LPLs in my inventory at the moment.



On a lark, I added a flamer to utilize the CT energy slot. This additional weapon adds some extra damage at close range, also drives up the heat for your target. This enabled me to survive a head to head encounter with a laserboat Gargoyle in the tunnel on River City.

 

Using the 2xLPL 6xMG build with XL235. The first round was a shocker but my second was pretty impressive, even without any skills unlocks. I can't wait for double basics, then I might drop back to a STD engine.

 

This loadout is legit, I've had several good matches without having any masteries and playing too timidly. I don't even feel compelled to tweak it any.

 

Popped this build into my Arrow recently and was pleasantly surprised. I used to shy away from pulse lasers, but I have seen the light, and my Arrow has new life.

Excellent

 

I bought the BJ mastery pack the other day primarily for the non-Arrow variants, as I wasn't a fan of Machine Guns... Wow, has that changed. Thanks to this build, I have a whole new appreciation for the weapon. This build is a monster and I love the mobile, cutthroat playstyle.

Thanks for posting the build and especially for explaining how to play it.

I love this version of the arrow. Saw TTB's video, and included this adaptation:



Can't wait to get one and try it myself.

Here's the TTB video. His is a lot like the OP's with slight differences. I think LMG's works better due to the peeking nature of this build. Also, for some reason, TTB didn't use Light Ferro, which would have freed up a little more weight for a faster engine.
