I really like 1 Ultra AC/5 with 2 Medium Rifles on my Marauder. UAC/5 gives it sniping power and the medium rifles with chainfire gives finishing blow killing power. Add in 4 medium lasers on the arms as backup and JJs for positioning and its just delicious.
26:30 *"Is there any build we'd like to see..."* UrbanMech UM-63X, max armor, 4 Machine Guns, 2 Medium Pulse Lasers, Engine Rating 240+ with XL Engine. Because that much armor, that quick, with extra damage on buildings is AWESOME for raids / Base Destruction.
With the training, if you are maxed out on your training skill slots, it is still possible to improve the stats. For example, if you had one that was plus 3 to Ballistics, if you can find a plus 5 to ballistics on offer, it will overwrite / take the same slot as the +3, allowing you to train that, even if already full. Works on all of the combos as well, as long as you're getting the same category(ies) and it's higher than what you already have.
How would you fit the mk8 into that though? 4 heavy rifles and a bunch of lights is a 20 year refire cycle without it. Yeah you can delete an atlus core but then you gotta wait 3-5 buisness days to do it again 😂
For a build suggestion I'd say you can build a nasty Blaser brawler on the Black Knight. It's a very hot weapon but 2 Blasers and some mediums as backups are a great build on the Knight. Binary lasers are in the middle of a high DPS and a FL damage weapon, with some careful aiming you can one shot lights and some mediums.
To get through the infiltration missions, it helps to tell you lance to hold fire before going anywhere, otherwise their LRMs etc will be triggering things on you.
I'd love to see some kinda medium pulse monster. Just throw as many of those bad boys on something with as much cooling as you can fit and watch your enemies melt.
Bara, Try mixing a split Light Rifle/Medium Laser build on a faster chassis like a low-end Heavy or even a Medium mech to minimize your constantly max-heat tendencies. You like playing aggressively and teaming that cooler running harasser with two of your signature heavy missile boats and that direct fire Assault mech would let you select for harasser, support or sniper on missions. I personally like the Stormcrow as a scout for my big boys. Just a thought. PS: That Adder could be great Light Rifle/Medium Laser build for quick missions.
I wouldn't mind see the Spinal Mount Gauss Rife being used. But I'm unsure what kind of ballistic slots it needs. Because it takes up slots in the center and both side torsos(3 slots each). I believe it only needs a ballistic slot a side torso, as it would seem like it's a weapon meant for Marauders(The way they look with that big cannon mounted on top). If that's the case and it only needs a ballistic slot in the side torso. Then it would benefit greatly being mounted perhaps on of the clan mechs you have. Or any mech with a good ballistics cooldown quirk. Clans mech usually have a 20% ballistics cooldown. Also I wonder if due to the Spinal Mount Gauss Rife occupying both side torsos. If it could benefit from having Turret Mount equipment put in both side torsos. If so it would give it a 20% damage increase and 30% cooldown reduction. Combine that with something like the 20% ballistics cooldown quirk from a clan mech. And you'd have a 50% ballistics cooldown reduction potentially. That's assuming if the Spinal Mount Gauss Rife can be affected by both Turret Mount in each side torso.
Running a mission with the savage wolf and the timber wolf all I can see is the savage wolf pilot on the comms to the timbie "The future is now old man"
I’d like to see a scout backstabbing mech, like arctic cheetah with lots of small pulses or a piranha with lots of MGs… and then go for high tier missions…. ❤🎉😊
@Baradul You might want to think about keeping a couple good mediums specifically for situations where you are doing a mission and don't have the tonnage for your usual lance. I would highly recommend the BJ-A for that massive MG damage and the GRF-1E with a 6x MPL and 3x AMS loadout. Give them 300 engines, Supercharger, Jumpjets, ECM, and Harjel 1 with Hardened armor or Duralast. Harjel 2 also works if you want more repair at the expense of less armor and NSS is also an armor option if you like the idea of being immune to sensor locks to avoid SSRM spam, which is going to be the only real weakness to a build like that. You will survive quite well so long as you keep moving and keep your evasion up. Try it out in instant action.
Get used to him not paying attention to what he's doing. He rushes so much and stays in tunnel vision. Not trying to bash him, just facts of how he plays
One thing that I would like to see if available, as I would like to see the Grizzly in action in this game since I saw that it's in the YAML Clan pack. Just because I would like to see how it plays compared to what I was used to back in the day. Just curious to see what it's like. I haven't seen anybody play it yet. So I would like to see it just to see. Just a suggestion.
BTW, don't immediately assume something is destroyed because it's red and has an X. I've had it show up like that before and I hit the repair all button and it fixed it.
If an equipment is red and it has an X, it means it`s destroyed. If you hit the repair all button, it means that you had another one in your storage, that replaced the destroyed one.
Speaking of equipment, can you have multiples of the Turret Mounts put in the same side torso and gain the benefits from all of them for the weapons put there?. I highly doubt it, I think you can only have one per torso , but If it does. Then that would be great for mechs with only a single weapon slots in their side torso and limited weapon slot in general. Of course you'd limited by the kind of weapon used, XL Engine and other equipment put there(like Harjel)and what critical slots are left available in that side torso. But could you image the damage and rate of fire it would have if it works. You'd probably want to use a weapon that doesn't take up much space nor produces much heat. Otherwise you couldn't have that many Turret Mounts, and the rate of fire provided would be moot if it causes the mech to rapidly overheat. I'm thinking something like a Large Chem Laser and say 8 Turret Mounts. For a whopping 80% damage increase and an insane 120% cooldown reduction. You'd have yourself a DEATH RAY that produces very little heat and spammable for only 13 tons. Limited only but ammo, which would require another 3 or 4 tons. Or use only 4 Turret Mounts and Gauss Rife. To have 40% increased damage and 60% Cooldown reduction heavy hitting rapid fire Gauss.
For a themed build, a Grasshoper with partial wing system, improved jj, and pulse/heavy lasers would be cool. I have been thinking about making a grasshoper actually good and would love to see your take on it.
A 60 ton all machine gun build , with jump jets and partial wings, and a run speed of around 140 mph . How much devastation in secondary’s is up to you. This is my idea 💡
I know you are in the Heavy/Assault bracket, but why don't you build a lance of fast, specialist lights/mediums? It'd be interesting to see a lance coming in at 120 kp/h, while blasting things apart with heavy lasers, hyper lasers, ATMs, ASRMs, light ACs and RACs. Aside from lightning warfare lances, have you considered starring other Battletech afficionados as lance-mates in your playthrough? Banter, collective mech building and such could improve your episodes. Mind you, that's a could, not a would.
For some reason or another Bullwark was never recruited by me, i went to his location did the mission but he never got recruited and now the quest waypoint is hanging over an empty star. I think he's bugged.
"You were shown as NOT being in training." Yeah. The game does that when you're opening a new slot for the mechwarrior. I don't know why, but it's definitely annoying.
Here's a fun fact: Did you know that it's not only the weapons that can make the Mech model change appearance? I'm using the FrankenMech Foray mod, which gives you mashup Mechs made from 2-3 different ones mashed together. There's one called an Athodyd - which is a cross between a Champion, a Wolverine, & a Jenner - which has a Quirk that means its arms have literally no armor but enhanced structure. Well, I put some Modular Ferro II on both arms, & the arms actually changed appearance from being bare frame & wires to actually looking like a normal Champion's arms. It was very weird to see that. (And I know, 16 isn't a great amount of armor for arms, but it's a 60-ton mech - with the paper doll of a Cataphract, for some reason - & the Mark II's were all I had to work with.)
I understand why you dont, but once i get a few good mechs... hellcat, Kobold, Centurion and some 1/2 way decent weapons... i burn through EVERY SINGLE 145-175 mission against the clans.. i have built at least 15 jenner II's and scavenged every engine core(315 engine cores are very useful), every engine XL upgrade,every double heatsink kit and double heat sink... plus what ever weapons they had... then turn around and sell the remaining husk for 2-3 million.... i have never wanted for clan xl engine parts,ferro or endo.. and my money situation allowed me to buy whatever weapons i needed
build us a fast knife fighter with machine guns or small lasers please. the jenner 2c wrecked lets see what an assault mech can do. Love the mech building, baradul the engineer. love the videos.
Pretty sure the items were already out. He started the removal while at the previous system and then flew to a different one. The cancelled job was just the "repair all" given a sec before.
Also, I just had a thought: if you pulled the UAC/20s from the D. Wolf you could replace them with 2 or 3 Plasma Rifles and a Targeting Computer Mk.8. I wonder how effective that would be...
how bout a build using all the weapons you dont want to use? light and heavy rifles. and other weird or Awkward equipment that you usually say no to lol.
Never pass up four clan er medium lasers tier 4 you could refit a mech fully with great secondary weapons Or upgrade to tier 5 swiftly and they have excellent weight to damage output compared touch heavier weapons and weight to heat output!
Build a pure-bred mech system, which comprises of one type of weapon family (projectile, energy and missile weapon system, with the exception of chem laser shall be classified as projectile weapon sys) and analogue mech sub-system, ie. inner-sphere mech shall use inner-sphere components... If possible, max-out the mech components in accordance with it's lore...
Stupid impractical and totally useless build idea.... for lols.... As many UAC 2's as possible on any mech ... Great as AI support as it's constantly chipping away(very fast ROF, very fast projectiles, LONG range) Had an AI mech with just 2, and it spent the entire time firing away, ended up max damage for the squad.. although that could just be my lack of skill
Ammo shopping. Scroll through light rifle double bin...😂
27:50 that 'campaign' mission is a bugged mission which shows up sometimes. You can destroy the base but you cannot complete the mission itself
Heavy rifles on a king crab!
"Destroy Unmanned Mech" "What was the deal?" 💀💀

Heavy rifles make great snipers. AC20 damage, AC2 range
Player: "How dumb are you?"
PGI AI: "Challenge accepted."
I feel your pain.
Player: how dumb are you?
AI: yes

2 heavy rifles on each dire wolf arm complimented by light rifles in remaining slots would be devastating, and look cool doing it.
How would you fit the mk8 into that though? 4 heavy rifles and a bunch of lights is a 20 year refire cycle without it. Yeah you can delete an atlus core but then you gotta wait 3-5 buisness days to do it again 😂
A weise commander should always respekt the urbie ;)
Next you'll be telling me that small chemical lasers are worth while. Oh well, time to start looking for light rifles

A classic OG Marauder would be SWEEEEEET!!!
Build idea: Make a lance of PPC boats. You won’t be disappointed.
medium laser madness
well now we know what happens if you drop with no pilot or mech. when it actually dropped i was really caught off guard, i didnt even know you could
Build idea: Snag a Rifleman, the all-energy-variant, and turn it into a Lancelot.
The build I have been waiting to see for this whole series is a double RAC build. I'd also like to see a quad ppc build
To get through the infiltration missions, it helps to tell you lance to hold fire before going anywhere, otherwise their LRMs etc will be triggering things on you.
I'd love to see some kinda medium pulse monster. Just throw as many of those bad boys on something with as much cooling as you can fit and watch your enemies melt.
I'd love to see a bad ass pulse laser build, maybe even with large pulse lasers, if they can be found. Or hyper lasers!
Bara,
Try mixing a split Light Rifle/Medium Laser build on a faster chassis like a low-end Heavy or even a Medium mech to minimize your constantly max-heat tendencies. You like playing aggressively and teaming that cooler running harasser with two of your signature heavy missile boats and that direct fire Assault mech would let you select for harasser, support or sniper on missions. I personally like the Stormcrow as a scout for my big boys. Just a thought.
PS: That Adder could be great Light Rifle/Medium Laser build for quick missions.

Irrc, it only fits the RISC Marauder or Stone Rhino
@@SonsOfLorgar Ok thank you
imma chargi'n mah lazor
Running a mission with the savage wolf and the timber wolf all I can see is the savage wolf pilot on the comms to the timbie "The future is now old man"
You can fit two long tom arty's on a direwolf and still have decent cooling.
Just throwing this info out there
Just never let an AI pilot run it...☠
3 Heavy Rifles mixxed with other things. Look at the range on them.
I tried 3 heavy rifles on victor once, it delete mechs till i moved on 2 twin sniper on caraspace
You should look for compact arm actuators- save you some slots in the arms.
Do a Machine gun only mach, it would be hella fun to see.
Hmmm, I always sell light rifles because of the slow projectile speed and projectile drop. I should give them a second chance.
I’d like to see a scout backstabbing mech, like arctic cheetah with lots of small pulses or a piranha with lots of MGs… and then go for high tier missions…. ❤🎉😊

Heavy M are also good .
Id like to see just how good the rifles at strongest tier are....the try a king crab with full close combat build
Id like to see an energy boat from hell..or a Gause boat.
A missile build hopefully a stalker guided-missile
This sounds like a good suggestion would like to see the archer build but upgraded in a stalker chassis
READING COMPREHENSION MAN!
It clearly stated:"DESTROY THE UNMANNED MECH!"
Get used to him not paying attention to what he's doing. He rushes so much and stays in tunnel vision. Not trying to bash him, just facts of how he plays
i think it would be amusing to see a fast medium mech, as a MG boat, or MG array boat. kind of like the piranha does in roguetech.
If you get another direwolf, turn it into a medium laser slag machine with all those hardpoints
Are we not going to talk about the insane bravery of the Locust and Commando pilots to charge the Clan Automatic MechChipper 9000 by their lonesome?
If you're using nightvision, remember to turn off the headlamp. Should help with the blinding flashes.
Quad plasma on a dire wolf, i guess

Hey, i would love to see a grasshopper build, i would also like to see a fast energy or melle heavy/assault mech build
please start grabbing medium heavy lasers
Configuring the Dire into the Black Widow variant would be pretty cool, or at least as close as it'd allow for.
I want to see a small, fast knife fighter like you use to build in MWO.
Also something with a NARC
Finally

Build idea, machine gun array direwolf
Nice fights!
Build idea, all flamers in an omni mech, or a hunchback.
Is this what they mean by German Space Magic? or GSM as the kids say it?
Bara, u should try mass Clan ER med lasers. As in mass
For some reason or another Bullwark was never recruited by me, i went to his location did the mission but he never got recruited and now the quest waypoint is hanging over an empty star. I think he's bugged.
Cool. 🙂
I'd love to see a multi HAG clan ER PPC Nightstar (or you know a stealth Marauder 2c 😁)
Every one is right if there is a Very High $$$ in a Mercenary are the they will drop into the make
"You were shown as NOT being in training."
Yeah. The game does that when you're opening a new slot for the mechwarrior. I don't know why, but it's definitely annoying.
Get rid of that huge arse targeting computer and get room for stuff that really helps and matters.
Glad you finally got rid of that Radical heatsink.

I'd like to see the best Hyper Laser build you can do. They have insane range and damage potential but you have to handle all that heat somehow!
Another vote for a Hyper Laser build. I know it is probably not that good, but would look really cool and maybe kinda good at destroying bases.
I have all my pilots at level 110+ and 20+ in all the skills. 😁
Do a Machine Gun build
I don't know for certain, but I believe you can leg your enemies and keep most of the weaponry intact for salvage. It seemed to work that way for me.
You should of bought hero 45 ton phoenix to make it easier to get close to 170 to 200 weight limit and have 3 mechs
Plasma rifles on a black knight, please.
using the direwolf on an infiltration mission would be like running rhino on a spy mission in warframe
I understand why you dont, but once i get a few good mechs... hellcat, Kobold, Centurion and some 1/2 way decent weapons... i burn through EVERY SINGLE 145-175 mission against the clans.. i have built at least 15 jenner II's and scavenged every engine core(315 engine cores are very useful), every engine XL upgrade,every double heatsink kit and double heat sink... plus what ever weapons they had... then turn around and sell the remaining husk for 2-3 million.... i have never wanted for clan xl engine parts,ferro or endo.. and my money situation allowed me to buy whatever weapons i needed

Vonbiomes is relaeasing a solaris VII mission thing!
Anyone else yell at their screen when Bara Sold the Commando he was working on to getting items from?
Pretty sure the items were already out. He started the removal while at the previous system and then flew to a different one. The cancelled job was just the "repair all" given a sec before.
Put double heavy rifles on the corsair pvt it absolutely slaps.
What good mec and we’re could I find them
Also, I just had a thought: if you pulled the UAC/20s from the D. Wolf you could replace them with 2 or 3 Plasma Rifles and a Targeting Computer Mk.8.
I wonder how effective that would be...
Not a lot of upfront punch and heat build up isnt super effective in this.
Is there a mod that allows you to drop another lance?
I would like to see what you can make with a Marauder or Marauder II, and a Battlemaster
✌️✌️
I think you should try the spinal mount on the stone rhino if you can, otherwise i yhink you should try focused energy fire
how bout a build using all the weapons you dont want to use? light and heavy rifles. and other weird or Awkward equipment that you usually say no to lol.
make a build with as many UAC5's as you can fit with all the ballistic bells and whistles!
Never pass up four clan er medium lasers tier 4 you could refit a mech fully with great secondary weapons Or upgrade to tier 5 swiftly and they have excellent weight to damage output compared touch heavier weapons and weight to heat output!
The Stone Rhino is such a bad design because the cockpit is literally smack dab center mass, easiest spot to hit.
I hate the commando AI so much.
Also, I just assembled a double RAC5 Jaeger, its just so fun.
make a lance with the entire possible marauder family, classic marauder, PGI marauder, marauder II and IIC
I know this comes late, but how about a primitive weapons build on the Dire Wolf. All Rifles and All Chem Lasers.
Build a pure-bred mech system, which comprises of one type of weapon family (projectile, energy and missile weapon system, with the exception of chem laser shall be classified as projectile weapon sys) and analogue mech sub-system, ie. inner-sphere mech shall use inner-sphere components... If possible, max-out the mech components in accordance with it's lore...
i would like to see a better version of the warhmmer i put together
Since no one claimed it first comment❤. Winner Winner CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupid impractical and totally useless build idea.... for lols....
As many UAC 2's as possible on any mech ... Great as AI support as it's constantly chipping away(very fast ROF, very fast projectiles, LONG range)
Had an AI mech with just 2, and it spent the entire time firing away, ended up max damage for the squad.. although that could just be my lack of skill
