I love daka builds, I have a Direwolf with 6 UAC-5s, one of my best matches was when I was the last on the map and won by knocking out the 6 remaining enemies.
I have been playing daily for a month or so now, your note about the day changing the general skill and tactics rings true.... I play super late into the night as well (NA) late enough to run into you a few times haha... It changes drastically in that 10 hour window I play generally as well.
I've been getting a lot of "weird" matches lately as well. Most of the time team cohesion seems normal, but then "something snaps" and we get steam rolled when we are up by 6.... or get stomped 0 and 12 because we all went death valley on *insert map name here*... or someone freakout chasing the squirrel and accidentally TK's someone HAHA!
I used to run this in my Mauler, but decided to go for something a bit more silly. Dropped two UACs to 2s and crammed in a quad of LRM5s. Now it's a pretend LRM boat with a nasty surprise for anyone who tries to push, heh.
This build is essentially the champion or trial Mauler. It's a great build. I have a Mauler with this build just with a standard engine. I like the mauler because it has shield arms.
I have owned both the quad UAC5 Cyclops and the Mauler and I have to say that the mauler is clunky, ponderous, and just seems to jam more often. The Sleipnir is so much more fluid and is much more enjoyable to play. Heck, I even enjoy playing quad ultra 5s on the Fafnir more than the MAL.
Fun looking build, with the new mechlab test range features I'll have to try it myself and see if I like the way the Cyclops handles. when you get back from your vacation could we possibly see some more Solaris builds in honor of the new season starting?
the latest patch to the game finally allows you to take mechs into the test range straight from the mechlab, this includes mechs you're viewing in the store as well even if you dont own them yet.
You could always just record 2 more during the week then release on the weekend. You should always have a few spares recorded anyway as life/emergencies will happen.
I use a Madcat Mk II with 4x UAC5s and 2x C-MPLs. You can even throw on a tcomp/LAMS if you're feeling saucy. It's godly, the best fire support mech I've ever built. The extra mobility a MKII ha so, plus those fantastic arms make it a lot more 'useable' than something like a Direwolf. In my opinion.
Great build and job Baradul as always. but Dang. I really wish Piranha Games would just follow Battle Tech rules. The Auto Cannons with out being an ultra, has a fires rate 1.66 to 2.5 with uUltra AC10's, that is way to fast. lasers averaging 3.5 + .9 cooldown and ordnance averaging also 3.5 . The AC's are nearly firing double the amount, and with Ultras, 4 times the amount then they should do. Piranha Games should look at this as a Turn base perspective. The AC 5 or Ultra AC 5 will do 5 damage or 10 with ultra.. not 10 and 20. This video clearly shows the quad ultra auto cannon 5's are doing 80 damages in a in the same amount of time players finish firing energy & ordnance instead of just 40.
It is better, as the Cyclops is a better mech, than Mauler. It is substantially more agile and has better hitboxes. So, if you can do the same build on both Mauler and Cyclops, Cyclops is preferrable. The catch is that the only Cyclops with quad ST ballistic mounts is MC-only hero.
So the other video u put up u were talking bout discord and etc and I just wanted to say that for discord if we were able to have a solid discord then we could have a area where u have ppl help u easier with the question u get and can have things for newer players like a community they can go to so the can find ppl that wanna do group drops and stuff since they ask questions and stuff that be a solid thing u can have for them cause we all know u can answer everything on TH-cam comments where on a discord community their can be others that can help with that
with the uac jamming i wuldnt even come close to recomending this build ... *4x LBX10* or the *dual heavy gauss + 3 med lasers* these are the only good builds ... but uf u want dakka 5 in ur mech just put in some rotary 5 in there with a std300 engine

What the Rifleman wants to be when it grows up.
Love dakka builds, wish clans didnt have all the extra shells when firing for that pin point damage but still fun
Did you just make a comment of filthy casuals..Because I think you did lol ;)
I finally made it into the Daily dose on Baradul's team :D yay (first game)
Jeez! I don't wanna know how angry Baradul got with the first matches...

a typical game in mwo

On a Mauler, you can do also a 6xAC5 build. A little hot, slower and less armored, but still fun :D
Any hole's a goal 👍
What can brown do for you?
Two in the pink
One in the stink
Then rub them together 🤌🏻
Ballistic builds are nice. Just remember that ballistic does not double when firing two at the same time. It is just something in the game mechanics.
Great stuff dude!

Ferric Vir I also enjoy the Solaris videos, easier to study Master Baradul's tactics in a 1v1 match.
Ferric Vir mechlab test range?

I'm going to do this Quad UA5s build but in my Annihilator. I love ballistic builds
On Anni you can also do a classic 2xUAC/10+2xUAC/5 build effectively due to bigger spare weight reserves. More dakka, same style.
The title of your video made me worried about opening it up. Hahahahaha
"Weekend players". You mean there are people playing this with actual irl lives?
You could always just record 2 more during the week then release on the weekend. You should always have a few spares recorded anyway as life/emergencies will happen.
Variety is the spice of life =]
Those AC-5s seem to jam at the drop of a hat
Fun stuff!
Try 2x LB5X and 2x Ultra AC5's. It is a good combo. Two removing armor and two going pinpoint.
great video
Is it just me, or do the IS 90 Tonne mechs perform better than the IS 95-100 Tonne mechs when it comes to quad UAC5 dakka?
fill the holes with a load of sticky wet lrms
Hehehehehehe the title made me giggle

Больше дакки для бога дакки!)))
I still find the king crab better for the quad uac5
In what way is this better than the Mauler x4AC5?
Johnny Hsieh Did you watch the first 2 minutes?
It is better, as the Cyclops is a better mech, than Mauler. It is substantially more agile and has better hitboxes.
So, if you can do the same build on both Mauler and Cyclops, Cyclops is preferrable.

praise dakka jesus!
man i use a build like this on my mauler.
Hey baradul ..how do u like rougetech? What are your thoughts on gameplay ?
Just ENUFF dakka! Waaaarrrgghhh!
Dere's no such fing as enuff dakka, ya grot! WAAAAGGGHH!!
Suralin0 You's roight, wut wus I thinkin?
Can I get a price on this?
So the other video u put up u were talking bout discord and etc and I just wanted to say that for discord if we were able to have a solid discord then we could have a area where u have ppl help u easier with the question u get and can have things for newer players like a community they can go to so the can find ppl that wanna do group drops and stuff since they ask questions and stuff that be a solid thing u can have for them cause we all know u can answer everything on TH-cam comments where on a discord community their can be others that can help with that
Why are you always on the winning team lol
hey
with the uac jamming i wuldnt even come close to recomending this build ... *4x LBX10* or the *dual heavy gauss + 3 med lasers* these are the only good builds ... but uf u want dakka 5 in ur mech just put in some rotary 5 in there with a std300 engine
