FAMK-III again! Its been 2+ years since the last vid so lets revisit it.
This is a 600 cost MS support that was introduced back in 2022. Its kit consists of a BR that has 6 rounds total that has insta stuns, Attached to the BR is a under barreled grenade launcher that has 1 round, long swap time, and short range, but insta stuns. You carry the same over the shoulder cannons that Normal MK-III has, they still don't stun but pierces and is stop to fire1. You have double beam cannons mounted on your shoulders that fire twice uncharged, or can full charge for a powerful 3 round burst that overheats them, They have good build stun to stop someone. You have a double hyper beam cannon that fires from your legs. Its a stop to fire but hits pretty hard and insta stuns, sadly they do Overheat when used. Last but not least you get a saber with the standard federation pattern, 1 swing, and 1 prio.
What makes this MS unique is the Overload level 1 Skill, this turns off overheat for all weapons and decreases the heat rate of all weapons, letting you dump insane amounts of damage for a period of time. Once done however all weapons are overheated for a period of time, and the skill only lasts for 25 seconds and 1 time use tho. This is more of a "im gonna die." skill, or when the match is near its end/ gonna try to clutch.
When this MS first dropped it was... VERY underwhelming, You just didn't have the up time to constantly be useful. It felt close, but not quite there yet. It relied too much on the overload skill that was a 1 time use for a long as hell cool down if you lived. Forcing you to use aux gens so you weren't force to rely on the skill too much. It also had VERY POOR HP at the time, so surviving was non existent. So in Jan of 2023 it was buffed! Its HP went from 17K to 19K. Its walk went from 120 to 125, its High Perform Radar level 2 went to level 3, Its Special Leg buffer went from level 1 to level 2, and its back binder special cushioning went from level 1 to level 2. The Hyper beam cannon x2 stiffness after use was reduced, and its nade launcher went from 200m to 250m. Thats it, which did help! Make no mistake the buffs for the HP was huge, and the stiffness reduced let you move much sooner after firing. The walk speed was also nice. But the skill was still overall kinda meh, and the rest of the suit still feels... underwhelming, fun, but underwhelming.
Overall FAMK-III in today's economy is mid at best. If your fighting a raid that knows what they are doing you will die much faster and easier compared to other supports like C1, Re-GIDZ, MP Nu FF, etc. Its a support that is really meant for mid range combat and does it well when left alone, but its easy to bully if someone is keeping you in check. It does like open maps though like trenches. The only reason I got high numbers is cause I didn't use the overload skill to keep my cycles constant, and cause I build to be a glass cannon with okay cool down time to cycle weapons. I want this suit to be buffed again, decrease the cool down for its weapons, OR let the overload skill be reused several times to make it worth using. Increase the build stun on the Shoulder mounted cannons too so you have a build stun weapon that can break MA easier to defend yourself. I want this MS to be the walking version of Re-GIDZ pretty much. I enjoy this MS when I get the shot, but your much better off bringing other supports. It does fight Yong pretty well though thank to the chain tuns. Letting you lock it down and hope to group kill it before it can run away.
Fight 1 was before Delta Kai Ground dropped lol, I was lucky to get this fight in with a BC that honestly tried, but didn't really go after me as I shut him down a few times. As for the second match I didn't see the Xamel, Was blindsided by that when i was heavied once, The one time being Bawoo was a benefit to our raid so he didnt have to go in close for the kills.
