GBO2 Black Rider: A raid with predator camo?!

- This video contains two recent rated matches I had with the LV2 Black Rider on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 450-500 cost raid with high melee damage, a sea serpent style heavy stun whip, arm grenades with good power, an invisibility camo sub-weapon, the same great melee swings as the Pixy along with a HADES/EXAM style touchpad skill which massively boosts stats. It suffers from a long cooldown instant stun and very low beam defence, so generals like Pale Rider VG or Marasai can really put the hurt on a poorly positioned Black Rider. I was really bad with this suit before it got buffed but I was recently able to get some solid matches with it in rated to upload. It is a really fun suit that can switch between ambushing enemies with stealth camo or going on a rampage with THEMIS mode as needed. I actually prefer the 500 cost version over the 450 cost version thanks to great stats scaling and not having to fight as many GM III Powered players. I hope that you enjoy watching!
Its primary weapon at LV2 is a rail cannon with 1700 power, 3 ammo, 8 seconds cooldown, 15 seconds reload time, 1.2 seconds swap time, 305m range and 40% stagger value. This weapon instantly stuns, pierces and has very high velocity. It is quite poor looking past that though, with only three ammo and having one of the longest cooldown times for an instant stun in the entire game.
Its primary melee weapon at LV2 is a pair of heat daggers with 2600 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.5 seconds swap time and 60%/36% combo modifier. It has only modest combo modifier, but the high base power and short swap time means it is both easy to use and hard hitting. It shares the same amazing moveset as the Gundam Pixy, but on a suit with a good enough loadout to take full advantage of it.
Its first sub weapon is an arm anchor with 2310 power, 5 seconds cooldown and 0.5 seconds swap time. This is a pretty standard sea serpent/heat rod style weapon that heavy staggers on hit with a wire that shoots out in front of you. It shoots from the left arm which can make aiming a little bit tricky, but it has fast velocity and good power.
Its second sub weapon is an arm grenade launcher with 900 power, 4 ammo, 225 RPM, 10 seconds reload, 0.5 seconds swap time, 250m range and 35% stagger value. This stuns in 3 hits like the typical arm grenade launcher. Against supports or other raids you can hit for big chunks of damage with a railgun to arm grenades combo.
Its third sub weapon is active camo with 1 ammo, 15 seconds reload and 0.5 seconds swap time. This weapon turns the MS invisible for 15 seconds and grants LV3 Stealth while active, but doing things such as boosting or swapping weapons cancels the effect. It also cannot be used while THEMIS is active. You still make sounds while walking and enemies can still see the advantage/disadvantage indicator when aiming at you, but this can be very useful to ambush enemies with.
Its fourth sub weapon is beam disrupting film with 1 ammo, 25 seconds reload and 0.5 seconds swap time. Using this weapon reduces incoming beam damage taken by 45%.
The LV2 Black Rider has 18000 HP, 17 ballistic resist, 6 beam resist and 26 melee resist. It has good defensive stats other than the pitiful beam defence, but using the beam disruption film at the right times can somewhat make up for it. It has LV2 Maneuver Armor and LV1 Emergency Evasion for defensive skills.
It also has 125 walking speed, 210 boosting speed, 60 thrust and 69 turning speed. It has 205 boost speed at 450 cost which is a bit low, but 210 is fine for 500 cost. It gets LV1 Forced Injector before THEMIS activates. Its mobility and damage goes through the roof once it activates the THEMIS skill via the touchpad. This lasts for 60 seconds and adds +25 melee modifier, +5 walking/boosting speed, reduces thrust used by 35%, adds +18 turn speed, LV2 Emergency Evasion and LV1 Offence System, but it reduces all defences by 5 and once the timer runs out then your head and legs will become broken.
Overall I think that the Black Rider is one of the stronger raid options for 450-500 cost after its somewhat recent buff. It has low beam defence and a long cooldown time for its instant stun but it can go on an absolute rampage if the player using it can use it correctly. Ambushing enemies with the stealth camo isn't always practical, but it can cause real chaos if used at the right time. The THEMIS mode lets it just go wild in melee as well, dealing massive melee damage and becoming ridiculously mobile. I think it is a suit with a definite learning curve, but still quite powerful once mastered. I can definitely recommend it for players who are comfortable with using touchpad activated stat boosts such as EXAM. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!

I once have to fight a meme team comp consists of 5 Black Riders and 1 Eyezack on underground base in A Full Armor Gundam.
The game suddenly turned into horror thriller genre 🥲
This damned suit is the main reason playing support is so often a painful struggle in 450-500, especially without an alert general to rely on. It truly is the pubstomp king, even though it still falls off pretty hard against more competent players.
Gm ii squad favorite enemy
I'd say a Pixy is worse, solely because it can boost and have weapons active with its stealth, while the only immediate action BR can do is tackle. However, that total invisibility can absolutely catch anything without UGS off-guard and actually having stunning weapons is really nice
Seen black rider in recycling on steam version and when I seen "active camo" I was like come on.. no one else has active camo, looks pretty sick, I don't have enough tickets or I would grab it.
This suit was so fun to use during the latest network test
Dude,you are full blown Amuro from minute 14:50 onwards! That was crazy! 4 MS destroyed in that short time span. 2 on 1 against General MS type disadvantage, then another raid before another general. With a low HP to top it off! What an inspiration!
For some weird reason, I can always spot where the usual route this suit would take, and I'd ask for an assist at times to just catch it lol
Black Rider is the reason I keep music down and I pick a melee gen to keep my support safe
The Black Rider is a ton of fun. I used to think pretty poorly of it but it's been cleaning up as of late. The primary is a bit slow to ready and being stuck with basic movement during active camo isn't the best. I think it should have stealth outside of the camo instead of it being tied to it to make up for the lack of HSM. Other then that it's a very fun suit to play.
I hear you with the GM's in 450 though, I was excited when they put it in the dp shop but now ot feels like there is a minimum of two per match
This suit is my go to Raid at 450. I have issues with the wire though. I have the cursor dead center on my target next to me and it somehow still misses most of the time. It's just this suit's wire. Every other suit that I play with that has wires doesn't miss as much.
Annoyingly, yes, the wire is pretty hard to hit when every other anchor/wire style weapon is on the right arm and this one is on the left
Glad to see you using black rider, great job!
You're a menace, and both matches against teams with no supports! As a new player on PC, I feel like I need to study this, haha.
Finally some Black Rider action~
Fun MS. I like the Jesta A more for a stealth suit tho
I made the mistake of running the shotgun the few times I played it and man that wasn’t fun lol
I got this Bad Boi Twice in the Beta sadly never got him on release :(
I'm a Big Rider fan and loved using it
Wait ho did ya get it? I'm a new player and couldn't seem to find him or his banner anywhere. Thanks
On console I think it might be in the DP shop at this point, definitely in the recycle tickets store rotation. If you are on PC just save up recycle tickets and check the store every day.
what's your opinion on the semi shotgun with this suit?
It's weak. The semi shotgun has high DPS at close range but isn't practical for stun to melee combos, so it is better using the railgun. You do more damage with melee than with that shotgun.
Do you think it is worth to use Shotgun with this suit?
Not really. The shotgun is a close range DPS weapon, which is kinda redundant when your melee is so powerful. So it is best to use the railgun which can instantly stagger them, opening them up for melee.
@@avenger1_gbo260 my guess was that the shotgun could be a safer stun since it reloads fastes and has more shots, but the rail gun is a miracle the way it is, thx for the response
Ese ms es demasiado frustrante cuando lo tienes de enemigo pero es muy gratificante cuando lo destruyes con otro raid o general
I was killed SOOO MUCH by this dang suit....god...pretty one of the reason I've almost completely stopped playing. since i'm alomost only playing support when I see one I just disconnect
first finally
It needs a nearf
Not really
It needs a buff is what it needs. More Boost and Walking Speed.
