Welcome MechWarrior to Ronin Fox Armored Security's Beginner Training Manuals for the Highlander HGN-733.
Weight Class: Assault
Role: Juggernaut
Threat Level: Moderate
Availability: Rare
This old design dates back to the Star League where it served with distinction. It was intended to be an Urban combat Mech.
The 733 model of the Highlander is a downgrade of the original Star League 732. The more primitive technology allowed it to survive the collapse of the Star League; however, its factories would also be destroyed nearly driving the Mech to extinction.
Overall, the Highlander is a tough, all around Mech though its wide variety of weapons can be difficult to use.

[Document 1]
Instructor's Comments: "Easily identified by its boxy head, some people say it's like a smaller Atlas due to the similarities in weaponry and speed. You can beat it at both extremes, though. It lacks all out ranged firepower and all out close combat firepower at the same time. Ambush it around terrain inside its LRM tracking or hammer it at a distance beyond its medium lasers and SRMs, and it'll go down without causing much trouble ."

I love these videos, the battlerom footage is always so entertaining. Your commentary sounds especially energetic on this one in particular and it's awesome. You should do the Flea next, I haven't seen a light mech in a while.
Well, it's not how I normally talk. I have to literally go out of my way to sound monotonous because it's not how I normally talk, so it's possible that I just naturally slip back into my "storytelling" style of commentary.
@@GitGudFox Either way, I'm a fan of it. You sound like you were really getting into it with the battle footage and I'm all for it.
I see we have another Flea fan 15 or 17? I really like the flea and 17 is my preferred model.
@@SupremeBioShock I like all of them. I can't remember the name but whichever one has two ballistic slots is my favorite. Twin light rifles are too much fun.
Great beginner manual commander fox, I look forward to seeing your catapult beginner manual when you do it.
Not sure what I'll do with the Catapult yet. I haven't used it much in stream since the chat hasn't voted for it. That's usually where I get a lot of ideas.
Threat lvl 3..........*Bagpipes intensifies* That sounds like a Challenge laddy!
That would not go well for the Highlanders either. The 733 is severely outgunned at long range which is probably where it's going to be fighting since it's extremely slow.
best mechwarrior 5 tutorials on yt 🤗
great style, great amount of information about the lore and the technicalities of the mechs.
only downside: i want more😂
I'm glad you like it. I have tried to make them faster. I used to be on a 7 day schedule, but I couldn't maintain it. I gave it about 3 months to see if I could make a 7 day schedule work, but it was simply too aggressive of a schedule.
@@GitGudFox yeah. one can see the work you put in it. 🤗
#Uglygang is here! Absolutely love the Highlander
There can only be one!
... beautiful. Love the Highlander!
I was pretty happy with how this came out.
We need the HGN-733PP video where you shamble into battle at 48km yelling "SCOTLAND FOREVER!" with the assault claymore.
I'd probably have an easier time with the VEST there.
Yes! 😆
I god damned love these
I'm honored you enjoy them!
I certainly don’t go out of my way to acquire a 733 but if I come across a 732 I will usually pick it up
Yeah, this guide is mainly for people who happen have a 733, so they're just a Highlander enthusiast and want to use a common model; however, it also teaches the fundamentals of the game as well since this model uses T1 equipment, no lostech, no upgrades etc.
Another fantastic beginner manual Commander Fox. It's a shame that we can't perform a Highlander Burial in this game. By the time I get one I just remove the jump jets for ammo for the auto-cannon or switch it to a gauss rifle. Quick question, when would you want jump jets on a assault mech? On light mechs it'd make sense to make yourself erratic and unpredictable as possible but on assault mechs, they don't do much for me.
True, but it also means it doesn't work on us either, and since I never use jump jets, I never have to worry about that random Mech falling on top of me.
One more Mech down until the King Crab video... hopium
The most likely Mechs I'll do are the ones that I cover in the streams since the chat votes for which Mechs I use, and so I get A LOT of time to test builds for them, so it's very likely the next guide will be the Raven since it was a voted Light Mech unless another Mech hits me out of nowhere I really want to do.
I think this is the best way to build the 733 until lostech becomes available when it becomes unlocked. It definitely has underwhelmed a little compared to my expectations.
Edit. Except the Vest. Its insane.
Yeah, this did better than I was expecting especially because normally I'd be able to equip higher quality versions of the weapons I used, and my allies wouldn't be in stock configs.
Given you went full LRM spam with both missile slots, I would've figured you'd also go for a heavy rifle and make it a total longe range fire support mech. Otherwise, yeah the AC5 is probably the best overall ballistic weapon in the game. A shame, as it lacks the jaw dropping oomf of an AC20 deleting mechs in a well placed shot.
Well, every video has a variety of test models.
733-1X AC5 model, the one that won the test.
733-2X AC5-RF model, didn't quite perform as well. Ran out of ammo.
733-3X Heavy Rifle model, overheated frequently, wasn't worth the concentrated damage
733-4X Heavy Rifle BF model, also overheated frequently and resulted in lower overall damage.
@@GitGudFox Fair enough, I'd probably try a similar build with lostech, as by the time you can start fielding Assaults the player would have some double heatsinks to play with by that point as well. Same for subbing the MLas for chem MLas instead. Anything to ease the heat burden but keep the burst damage.
That depends. You could definitely just skip right into Assault Mechs out of light Mechs by just saving up some c-bills and moving into a bigger industrial hub.
By time you get to Kestrel Lancers, you could field multiple assault lances while simultaneously not having enough double heatsinks at the same time especially if you don't know how to bum off some double heatsinks from other sources like hero Mechs.
Also, if you're familiar enough with the game where you know how to nickel and dime double heatinks for Mechs early, then you're probably familiar enough with the game where you can just do whatever you want with any build you want and would have no use for build guides either.
This is a Beginner's guide after all.
btw. what s you favourite assault mech?
and what assault mech would you choose if you need something a bit faster?
Hmm, well, to start, I prefer fast Mechs in general, so I don't really care for Assault Mechs. I like light Mechs, medium Mechs and the faster heavy Mechs like the Dragon or the Champion.
When I do play Assault Mechs, I like the Mauler in general. Amongst the faster assault Mechs, I like the Hatamoto-Chi if you have Solaris for PPC-Xs. I like the Highlander VEST. I like the Cyclops 11P and 10P. I like the Banshee 2P. Those are some I like off the top of my head. They also however play to my particular playstyle though.
@@GitGudFox yeah. the dragon is great! the only thing i do not like about it is that it has so many different types of weapons, but even that is not purely a disadvantage, because you can chance it around to make it fit anyone’s playstyle.
Hmm, PPC-X, you said. great idea. i think i wanna try out the hatsmoto-chi next.
