ill post what ive got in it in a sec

[carmine lance]

I think it’s worth noting that the alias of the person who composed that theme song is “Power Of 7”

Even in the beginning, bungie was obsessed with the number

Also bungie reoccurring symbolism is a fucking cognito hazard after a certain point

[shadow spruce]

thats in the one i pilot, the RS

the ais get D variants until i get a hero atlas

then my best ai pilot will get the RS

scammer?

[plush estuary]

yes

already got them

[shadow spruce]

all i saw was 4 imgs and one of them had mr beast in it when i looked up at it

[delicate shadow]

it's a very common scam/spambot thing atm

[shadow spruce]

and like any other time i see something involving mr beast that doesnt come from mr beast himself i just assumed it was a scam

[delicate shadow]

you didn't need to include " doesnt come from mr beast himself"

[shadow spruce]

ive been getting friend requests from bots stealing server names recently

oddly enough its always the same server

[long oasis]

where is mr beast

[shadow spruce]

buried for 24 hrs again probably

[long oasis]

how could you do this to jordan

[plush estuary]

Sorry

I needed help with taxes 😔

[long oasis]

he doesnt know what taxes are

[plush estuary]

its scary

[shadow spruce]

how does that pen pal scheme thing even work?

like whats the bit they do to steal ur info or whatever

[long oasis]

maybe asking for an initial fee and then dipping

[plush estuary]

I can try to ask next time

it's pretty common that I get them

[shadow spruce]

surely this isnt overkill

the bots that steal server names then add me as a friend always steal RubixRaptors server name, cant remember if its his or his arma units name

[delicate shadow]

there's a reason I keep my DMs closed

[obsidian prairie]

What does digital pen pal even mean

Would it just entail like

[plush estuary]

who knows

[obsidian prairie]

Talking to you?

[delicate shadow]

phishing but in real time instead of via email

[plush estuary]

I guess?

[shadow spruce]

mine are which is why they add me as a friend

[delicate shadow]

I simply do not accept

[plush estuary]

I accept cause its funny

I remember adding one mid havoc

and talking about art

I only sent a message like every 5 min, between hordes

they got so annoyed they would dm and then delete the message so I got the ping and sound

[delicate shadow]

yeah like back when I used to actually accept cold friend reqs the last one was an art scammer/bot and after that I closed 'em lmao

I do not need to be getting DMs from fuckin' chatGPT

[obsidian prairie]

I do

I want to fill them with garbage data

[delicate shadow]

plus like it's easier to deal with moderating when I don't have people I don't know at all invading my DMs to talk shop or get upset

[obsidian prairie]

Reply with info dump paragraphs or shitposting

[plush estuary]

Bee movie script

[obsidian prairie]

Nah

Thats overdone and needs to be sent in a text file or multiple messages

[shadow spruce]

could always prompt inject

have them send u a banana bread recipe or something

[obsidian prairie]

Already got a good one

[shadow spruce]

banana bread was an example

[carmine lance]

I wish I was popular enough to get scammers…

[carmine lance]

Occasionally I do get art scams tho

I’ll go along with them but delay as long as possible

Multiple days

And stall and stall at the time of the transaction

Until they give up

Knife is so fucking annoying to fight against

[shadow spruce]

so youre evil

[tranquil bone]

Buy a handful of expensive TF2 items and you will get a trickle of em

[hearty nebula]

How

Why

what

[calm salmon]

Leaving your DMs open is a fun adventure on discord

[shadow spruce]

did i ping u earlier when i posted what my RS ran?

atlas

[calm salmon]

Oh yeah

I'm still waking up so scattered brained

[shadow spruce]

ur good hoss i know the feeling

[calm salmon]

what is a ppcx

is that a shotgun ppc

[shadow spruce]

shotgun

yeah

[calm salmon]

I'd probably drop those for regular PPCs when you can find em

otherwise standard 100t build

[shadow spruce]

its got two

[calm salmon]

Uh

[shadow spruce]

two ppcs and two shotgun ppcs

[calm salmon]

so mechwarrior does this weird thing called "Bracketing"

and you want all of your weapons in that bracket

because its not battletech, the tabletop game/rpg game on PC it doesn't matter a lot

But being able to apply your full alpha damage at the longest range possible is very important

[shadow spruce]

i see

[calm salmon]

4 ppcs will basically make it so you never need to get into shotgun range, for example

[shadow spruce]

counterpoint i have to run point because AIs and so i get jumped by lights all the time

two ppcxs handles them really quick

[calm salmon]

I suppose that's fair

and also why I never really use PPCs

Gimme ER Large Lasers any day of the week

or even just Large Lasers tbh

[shadow spruce]

i think ppcs get more dmg than lasers

im not 100% on that tho

[calm salmon]

More damage, 50 meter arming range

and longer range in total

But Large Lasers are much cooler, so you can fire them more often, which gives you more effective DPS

[shadow spruce]

counterpoint

if i can kill it in one shot

why shoot more than once

also ive got ECM out the ass

[calm salmon]

I suppose this is a philosophical difference because I only play with Coyote's Mission Pack on

which is more than happy to make you play missions with upwards of 50 enemies

So long term DPS is far more important than alpha strikes

[shadow spruce]

only downside is they run hot

especially under sustained fire

then again if im shooting both ppcs and ppcsx and my machine gun at something its gonna die quick so

i wish the hud elements were actual hud panels in the cockpit and not in the helmet

[pure tree]

Hey beautiful. Are you interested in being my digital pen pal and be getting nothing twice a week?

[carmine lance]

I still got a kill out of it, so, erm, actually I didn't fuck it up?

seriously though what the hell was that viscous's thought process

[opaque island]

how come i never get messages like this? do their algorithms or whatever know that im not gonna fall for the bait at this point or is it cause im clearly a dude?

[carmine lance]

he saw me try to door that silver

he HAD to have seen where it went

WHY DID HE WALK THROUGH

[opaque island]

no think only kill

[stray summit]

he coulda at least tried to take a cut of flesh off you before he died but he just

hopped away

he couldn't a cubed?

[calm salmon]

I've gotten some weird ones from people who are clearly chasers

and holy fuck is it always gross

[stray summit]

Maybe 1 of 629185716185881561 Puddle Punches?

[calm salmon]

I am not your fetish 😭 (royal your)

[carmine lance]

honestly I'm not sure

[carmine lance]

also I like how pathetic that kill was too lmao

me fucking plinking away at him because I'm still playing fucking doorman

[opaque island]

honest question, how do you tell a chaser from someone who is trying to start a relationship?

[calm salmon]

Usually with stuff like "I don't care if you have a penis"

[stray summit]

Interdiemensional Jerma vs the Gooo

[cursive tundra]

Only crazies tries to go thru enemy doorman door

[opaque island]

entire enemy team comes through the door, what do you do then?

[calm salmon]

Run away!

Brave Sir Robin ran away, ran away!

[carmine lance]

I baited that same silver to follow me before this clip, too

they were in their ult

[cursive tundra]

Also wouldnt mind much its likely low level as that viscous have 0 attempt to use a skill

[shadow spruce]

Buh i didon't!

[carmine lance]

my rank tanked a little while getting used to door build doorman

[opaque island]

I agree they shouldve atleast tried to do as much damage as possible once they were in a no win situation

[carmine lance]

i went from ritualist 1 to arcanist 2

tho elo kinda doesn't matter

[opaque island]

but in the moment in can be hard to think properly

[carmine lance]

that too

how did you get hurt you didnt even eject?

[lunar fable]

Injured 69 days

[calm salmon]

Cockpit hit it looks like

Could also have been from overheating, but the internals aren't yellow

[shadow spruce]

i thought they only got hurt if they eject

[calm salmon]

It's been a long time since I've played so I don't remember

[shadow spruce]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

gonna be real im texting and piloting rn

Yes Scab Captain

We see the fit

[plush estuary]

@chrome wave

[shadow spruce]

sounds like he should get that checked out

[void bison]

i own all the dlc now

[shadow spruce]

baller

[void bison]

maybe i should reload to an older manual save

[shadow spruce]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

didnt a new one come out like a couple weeks ago?

[void bison]

it was in september

I might play clans if I can find it online

nvm

[shadow spruce]

theres 8 dlcs?

[void bison]

it's got drm

[void bison]

7

[shadow spruce]

oh last september

which was kerensky

i was really confused

[void bison]

this is why

clans is a more linear story game

[shadow spruce]

i see

[void bison]

though that release isn't much closer

[shadow spruce]

so mercenaries is like the bannerlord of mechwarrior?

[plush estuary]

Found a matyrdom ogryn in the wild

[shadow spruce]

the all atlases lance is pretty funny im gonna be real

[void bison]

I use 3 atlases and 1 missile boat of god

I want an Atlas II

[shadow spruce]

i mean surely shadow of kerensky gives u a cool hero mech right?

also how on earth do AMSs work

[void bison]

you need to have an ams on all of those atlases asap

[shadow spruce]

cause it doesnt seem to be shooting down missiles

[void bison]

ams is very good

[shadow spruce]

i do they just dont seem to be working

[void bison]

does it have ammo

[shadow spruce]

yes

i hear it shoot

[void bison]

are you sure

[shadow spruce]

sometimes

[void bison]

are you certain

[void bison]

they destroy lrms and srms

I've been completely covered from clan lrms

[shadow spruce]

i still get hit by missiles sometimes tho

but like i said ive also got ecm

[void bison]

look at it's stats

shows how many missiles per second

[shadow spruce]

i can check after this mission

[void bison]

if you all have one and are close together it's probably been blocking entire volleys for you

srms are harder but lrms especially

[shadow spruce]

well only 2 of us have em cause i could only find 2

[shadow spruce]

my RS has a pirate ecm or whatever it is

[hexed igloo]

Playing a V2 in yomihustle is hella fun

[median steeple]

this thing is only a hero mech afaik

especially that star league version

[void bison]

for finishing kerensky or as a random industrial system?

[median steeple]

industrial system

[shadow spruce]

is it better to have ecms on disrupt or counter

[median steeple]

https://youtu.be/qf4BB1ue35c?si=G2pvr_0T5msOqFJi

uhh I think disrupt

since that lowers their chance of hitting you

they'll just miss outright

[shadow spruce]

for missiles?

[median steeple]

EVERYTHING

[void bison]

counter doesn't sound useful I barely notice enemies having ECM

[median steeple]

if they shoot an AC at you they'll have a harder time hitting you with an ECM

it's not really affective against you

[shadow spruce]

i thought it was like

[median steeple]

it's like harder lock on for you

[shadow spruce]

disrupt was mechs and counter was missiles

[median steeple]

nah for AI it's just a flat chance of every thing they shoot at you missing

[void bison]

missiles is ams

[shadow spruce]

ecm does missile stuff too

[median steeple]

that just destroys missiles

ECM lowers the accuracy of every gun and causes missiles to have worse spread

for AI

[void bison]

there's also a modified ams that does direct fire but it was a meme weapon besides maybe for elementals

[shadow spruce]

elementals?

[void bison]

they are space marines if they were angry bees

https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Elemental

[shadow spruce]

wish the ai was more conservative with their ammo

[misty nova]

Daaamn look at that arm

Daaamn

[shadow spruce]

bottom

[void bison]

tall as shit too

[shadow spruce]

okay so ppcxs have splash dmg

ask me how i know

[void bison]

how do you know

[shadow spruce]

tried shooting over a rock but my arm didnt in fact clear it

so my poor atlas ate both a ppcx and a ppc round at the same time

[void bison]

cbills down the drain

[shadow spruce]

like tears in the rain

i've heard very mixed things about clans but I want it on sale

[shadow spruce]

yog did u ever turn on the setting in yaml that makes the 3rd person anims play in first person?

[void bison]

yes

[shadow spruce]

i dont know why its not on by default

the bobbing cockpit is so immersive

cause u also need it on for mp

[median steeple]

it's more linear and purely story focus and does a good job showing the clan pov

buttttt

the balancing is shit

like so bad

[shadow spruce]

against or for u

[median steeple]

against

some missions you fight waves and waves of assault/heavy mechs

it's so miserable

[opaque island]

if i understand my mechwarrior lore correctly arent the clans like pretty powerful compared to the main system factions?

[shadow spruce]

yes

[void bison]

at first

[median steeple]

and also (MAJOR SPOILERS FOR HTE MAIN STORY OF MW5 CLANS) ||you get a choice halfway through the story where you can change sides and then you spend missions fighting waves and waves of clan mechs... which are better than your allies and were in always in lower numbers when you were on their side||

[acoustic dune]

ey yog

[misty ravine]

MW5 Clans
You WILL spam the pulse lasers
You WILL learn the shitass head hitboxes

[median steeple]

AUGHHHH

I hate it

[void bison]

there's a truce called for fifteen years and the inner sphere ends up winning the war afterwards afaik

[drowsy steppe]

I redeemed myself

[shadow spruce]

after the 9 year invasion?

[acoustic dune]

just spam ppc

shrimple as

that or srm

[void bison]

[acoustic dune]

or ac 20

[misty ravine]

Mechwarrior unable to stray from puddle

[median steeple]

yeah clanners fail their main objective which is the toppling of the great houses and comstar reviving the star league

ComStar fucks them on Tukkayyid

after helping them...

but we got that goated Black Knight art so who cares

[acoustic dune]

what does this mean

[misty ravine]

PPCs generate a shitload of heat
Standing in water massively increases your cooling

[median steeple]

(doesn't matter anyway since the star league gets revived a century later iirc)

[opaque island]

in yalls opinion who is the best video game heroine, and why is it samus?

[acoustic dune]

just be naked in the mech or smth

[shadow spruce]

lara croft is pretty neat

[median steeple]

most the clanners do is topple a republic for a bit

poor rashelhauge

gets independence to clan control in less than 20 years

[acoustic dune]

also didnt know that was a feature

[shadow spruce]

game doesnt tell u it is

but its there

[acoustic dune]

remind me of my srm atlas

[shadow spruce]

conversely lava doesnt let u disperse heat

[misty ravine]

Lava disperses heat into you

[acoustic dune]

okay question

[shadow spruce]

nope

[acoustic dune]

would you rather fight 1 atlas

or 20 fire srm locust

[shadow spruce]

20 fire srm locust

[median steeple]

an atlas 200%

honestly most assaults aren't that bad to fight

[misty ravine]

Atlases especially tend to have kind of shit hardpoint layouts

[acoustic dune]

king crab with slug shot

[median steeple]

it's just annihilator I fear

[misty ravine]

Except the AS7-A (all the missiles.gif)

[median steeple]

KC has a stupid big head

Annihilator and clan mechs

clans mechs are SCARY

holy shit

[acoustic dune]

clan are scary

[median steeple]

I guess what having centuries of tech seperation does to you

[void bison]

I need to try them on a non yaml playthrough

[acoustic dune]

ok better question

[royal vortex]

annihilator literally moves at the speed of one of those scooter things in a walmart

[acoustic dune]

20 srm locust

[void bison]

mart carts

[shadow spruce]

yeah but if u kit it right its a nightmare

[acoustic dune]

or 20 heavy ac 20 tank

[median steeple]

it moves .4 km/h faster than the urbi lol

[void bison]

I heard an atlas from titanfall is smaller than an urbanmech

[median steeple]

it's just a mega urbi but it can be scary

[misty ravine]

Advantages of not regressing in (most fields of) technology, and solving your differences with small unit engagements instead of instantly mashing the orbital genocide button (all your enemies have them too)

[royal vortex]

the annihilator is unusable because 80% of the maps involve walking 3 km

[void bison]

you just keep the throttle on and watch youtube or something

[median steeple]

playing any assault lance be like

[void bison]

mechwarrior 5 is a walking sim

[median steeple]

unless it's all highlanders

[acoustic dune]

whats the annihilator equipement?

JESUS CHRIST

[void bison]

I think I want to put together an urbie r60L and see how fast I can make it while still having at least an ac10

[misty ravine]

When you peek a ridgeline and it takes another 10-15 minutes for your guns to catch up

[median steeple]

either that, ppcs and gauss rifles

[acoustic dune]

WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT HAS 4 HARDPOINT ON THE TORSO

[median steeple]

I love how it's so tall you can't see the cockpit in the preview lmfao

[misty ravine]

Thinking of trying merctech on my next playthrough, building my own frankenmechs in-game in a cave out of scraps sounds neat

[acoustic dune]

why is it only 10mil

[median steeple]

it's cheaper than that

[void bison]

I don't know much about that one

[royal vortex]

the annilator fat neck is powerful

[median steeple]

you have a 25% markup because kurita hates you (based)

[misty ravine]

It's an affordable entry-level 100-tonner I guess

[acoustic dune]

whats the armor point?

compare to like the kc?

[median steeple]

Annihilators only survived because of the clans lol

[acoustic dune]

all heil house steiner

[median steeple]

since they all but vanished from the inner sphere and only got reintroduced via the wolfs dragoons which are clanners pretending to be mercs

[misty ravine]

Whatever the maximum for a 100 tonner is. Even without mods every mech of the same tonnage has the same maximum armor if you free up the weight for it

[median steeple]

(also based since they hate the clans)

there's an endo steel variant of the annilh

[acoustic dune]

mmmh

[misty ravine]

The head hitbox looks high and vulnerable but IME it's actually harder to headshot than the king crab, if that helps

[shadow spruce]

how good is the gauss in mercenaries

[acoustic dune]

ok next question

is it slower or faster then a kc?

[misty ravine]

1 gauss is aggressively mid, 2 or more and you can start sniping cockpits very effectively

[shadow spruce]

cause if its good i might put one on my atlas

[misty ravine]

Slower, unless you use YAML etc to put a bigger engine in it

[acoustic dune]

i love yaml

[void bison]

1 clan gauss and 1 clan ppc has worked decently on one of my atlases

and a 10+5 lrm

but I have the missile death god on my team usually so it's hard to tell

[median steeple]

ngl EVERY mech is harder to hit a headshot on than the king crab

[misty ravine]

Can't wait for mercs to advance the timeline just a few more years so I can have muh blood asp

[void bison]

Oh I did put a turret mount on that torso slot though

[misty ravine]

Cataphract

[void bison]

that buffs the weapon damage by 10% i think

[median steeple]

it's 90% it's body

[void bison]

some of the clan mechs seem to have huge head hitboxes

[median steeple]

dire wolves..

they have better armour iirc

so it's not as bad

[carmine lance]

chat

I uh, may have gone too deep

I made a new friend a couple days ago, and have been chatting with them a bit already

[median steeple]

the next dlc is supposed to be revealed this month

[void bison]

I wish the game had battle points or something instead of tonnage so that small clan mechs could still be straight up better but cost more battle points or something

[shadow spruce]

for mercs?

[void bison]

if that makes sense

[median steeple]

yea

[carmine lance]

eventually art came up in conversation, and after showing some of the stuff I've drawn, they asked if I could draw soemthing for them

[acoustic dune]

WTF IS THAT

[carmine lance]

I thought it could be fun to take a request, so I said sure

[acoustic dune]

look like a riflemen but far far worse

[carmine lance]

they uh, they sent me a ref sheet with the kind of edgy oc that's done as a bit

[median steeple]

that's the biggest issue with mercs/clans is that you're kind of forced to run assault/heavy lances unless you use the AI mod that makes the others kind of useful

uhhh

[carmine lance]

to mock the actual shit people make

but they made this one in full sincerity

[median steeple]

battletech (video game the xcomlike) has it where you can only run like

1 assault

iirc

per lance

[acoustic dune]

peak of mech design

[median steeple]

that's not the urbi

[void bison]

give me one volley and those arms are gone

[median steeple]

I don't like the rifleman or the blackjack

[void bison]

I don't either

[median steeple]

I know they're sniper mechs and do a good job

but they're ugly

[void bison]

isn't one of them literally bad for combat ground wise because they're designed as AA

[acoustic dune]

just play with friends

[void bison]

don't they kind of suck in game

[acoustic dune]

if you dont have friends

kidnaps some

[median steeple]

it's more like the game is balanced around it

sadly

[acoustic dune]

speaking off

what happen to the mechwarrior online

[shadow spruce]

imagine zealot chat mech lance

[acoustic dune]

its all locust

or raven

[void bison]

no

[shadow spruce]

yog and i in our atlases

[void bison]

I'd be an aws

[median steeple]

Ravens are so fun

the only light mech I like

[void bison]

it's a giant toad

[shadow spruce]

oh ur so right roc

[acoustic dune]

you dont like the locust?

[median steeple]

compared to the raven?

fuckkk no

[acoustic dune]

chat

[median steeple]

raven is beautiful

[acoustic dune]

i think i gotta krill him

[median steeple]

battle toad

[void bison]

the raven is very good for demolition missions

[royal vortex]

the awesome is such a sick design

[void bison]

I put 4 clanner mgs on it

[shadow spruce]

i wish the aws didnt fire at missiles that my ecms jammed

[median steeple]

also some variants get jets and an ECM slot

just saying

[acoustic dune]

whats the gorilla harm mech again

[median steeple]

locust is a chump

[acoustic dune]

oh yeah the banshee

[void bison]

they looked at this and wanted something similar looking but weaponized

[shadow spruce]

"hulk smash"?

yes and no

[shadow spruce]

dude i still cant beleive at the end of the nromal campaign u get ur dads mech and its not even a hero mech

[void bison]

i've got the hero variant

H something

Huginn

[chrome wave]

BoN's proximity detect for the slam bullshit happens even if you're stealthed but it can't "aggro" you

[acoustic dune]

the centurian?

[shadow spruce]

no ur dads victor

oh

you meant the aws

[shadow spruce]

that he was in when he dieded

[acoustic dune]

[shadow spruce]

i dont mind it

WTF IS THIS CREATURE

someone should make a warhammer conversion mod for mercs

[void bison]

nah

[acoustic dune]

OGRYN PILOTING A MECH

[shadow spruce]

also why cant the mechs honk

[void bison]

other games need battletech mods

[shadow spruce]

i want them to honk

[acoustic dune]

and its a franken mech

[median steeple]

I mean there IS a 40k mech in the game

the corsair

ork junk

[shadow spruce]

no no i mean like titans and such

[median steeple]

my slop machine

[acoustic dune]

gotta love franken mech

[misty ravine]

Killdozer Final Form

[median steeple]

it literally has the fucking teeth killa kanz have lol

[carmine lance]

I'm waiting to buy the dlc for clans before I install the game

I played through shadow of kerensky and base campaign for mercs

[median steeple]

wolves just came out which is the last DLC I think?

since it's about Tukayyid

I need to finish clans first I took a break because the balancing was getting on my nerves

[misty ravine]

PGI said Clans will have at least one more DLC didnt they?

Probably Refusal War for its place in the timeline + Jade Falcon POV

[royal vortex]

i stopped playing clans at the final mission for the good guy end and could not bother after losing to the final fkin enemy twice

[drifting wolf]

dozer blade serving as armor in front of the cockpit is a nice touch

[shadow spruce]

oh piss

[misty ravine]

In any case I hope they put the Ebon Jag in the next Mercs DLC, they really have no reason not to

[royal vortex]

i want the IICs

give me my fucking hunchback

[misty ravine]

Remember the wisdom of Sio Bibble

[shadow spruce]

gonna be real this gauss is not performing nearly as well as id like

like its kinda really bad

[void bison]

I tried putting a gauss on an atlas of mine and it was awful until I got the clan gauss

[misty ravine]

#zealot-class message

[shadow spruce]

the old atlas build was 2 ppcx and 2 ppc

worked like a dream

[void bison]

the clan gauss does like 20-24 damage or something and the turret mount adds 10%

[median steeple]

no matter how much you prepare for the clanners it's gonna be rough

even their lightmechs are goated

also elementals...

they're fucking hilarious

they swarm like angry bees

[void bison]

I haven't had too much difficulty in the dlc yet, I am at the halfway point where you can explore again

[shadow spruce]

i havent seen anything from YAEC in my run yet

[void bison]

but I think it's because of this

[median steeple]

longbow is just insane

[misty ravine]

Adder-S with its 16 machine guns legit looks like something a child would make
Just hot-glue a machine gun to every forward-facing square foot

[shadow spruce]

yikes

[median steeple]

a lot of clan mechs reallyyyy look like toys lol

[misty ravine]

Fun with cooldown reduction

[void bison]

is that ssrm(c)?

[median steeple]

that poor grasshopper....

holy shit

dude was vaporized lmfao

[shadow spruce]

should i replace my ppcxs with ppcs and get a bigger ballistic or smaller ballistic and 2 ppcs and 2 ppcx

[misty ravine]

What ballistic is on it now, what year is it, and what mods do you have

[void bison]

3048 and YAML

[shadow spruce]

currently its a gauss t4, 3038 and YAML with YAEC

[void bison]

I just realized I can make my hunchback even more goated

[shadow spruce]

if the light rifle reloaded faster id use it

[shadow spruce]

i need something between a machine gun and a ac2

[misty ravine]

Just got the one ballistic hardpoint right?

[shadow spruce]

yeah

[misty ravine]

LBX-10 or no ballistic IMO

[shadow spruce]

its for small vehicles

[misty ravine]

LBX is great for small vehicles

[shadow spruce]

like i said just something between a machine gun and an ac 2

lbx 10 is too heavy

[void bison]

you need something between a salt gun and a peashooter

?

[shadow spruce]

i just put a light rifle in there we'll see how it do

im still walking around with 2 ppcs and 2 ppcxs

[void bison]

I have decided this hunchback deserves an XL engine

because if he loses that hunch I'm restarting the mission anyways

[shadow spruce]

based

[drowsy steppe]

https://youtube.com/shorts/cacyfW2hj4M?si=yY_zNbnx-PPlz9s2 stupid sexy Leon

[shadow spruce]

also ive got black market countermeasures

plus and ams

[misty ravine]

Wait YAML AS7-RS has 2 energy hardpoints per arm doesn't it

Could try going to 4x Large Laser (especially the Short Burst variant) and the LBX-10

[shadow spruce]

do those perform better than ppcs?

[void bison]

4 large lasers will make someone regret being in range

[misty ravine]

IME it does, relative to weight and heat

[void bison]

but ppcs are also more satisfying in many ways

[shadow spruce]

i tend to get face to face with mechs

hard to avoid when ur this slow

[void bison]

yeah see i'm experiencing the THRILL of combat and that's about as detached as a drone operator

[misty ravine]

4x PPC-X and 2x whatever SRMs you can squeeze in, then, and leave the ballistic mount empty.
YAML should allow you to switch the PPC-X's to single shot for shooting at distant vehicles or whatever

[shadow spruce]

the xs are shotgun

not the auto

[misty ravine]

It's using very late timeline equipment anyways

[void bison]

I'm there I just need to complete kerensky and salvage a shitload

[misty ravine]

Yes, but YAML for a while now has let you switch PPC-X to single shot

[shadow spruce]

there a button for that?

[void bison]

ctrl+weapon group number

[misty ravine]

Control + Weapon group key, same as for LBX

Can also use it to make TAG continuous

[shadow spruce]

had no idea

[median steeple]

my friend just found a bullshark

3048 in a black market

lol

[shadow spruce]

with 2 srm6s and 2 ppcxs im at 86 tons

dont think i can fit 4 ppcxs

[void bison]

I like all of these a fair amount but Idk if I like uac/5bf very much for my 4th one

[shadow spruce]

but then i run into the issue of i need long range stuff

[shadow spruce]

okay i think i got it

[misty ravine]

You really don't though
There are like 4 unique missions that force you into sniping contests across a canyon, every other map can either be turned into a close range brawl or the game will force it to be a close range brawl regardless

[void bison]

you really don't need a ton and a half of AMS ammo

[shadow spruce]

i get a lot of missiles thrown at me

[misty ravine]

Yeah half a ton of AMS ammo and 2-3 tons SRM is plenty

[void bison]

half a ton is 3000 rounds of ams ammo

tiny boolits

[shadow spruce]

no?

[shadow spruce]

you have lostech

i dont

[calm salmon]

your SRM ammo in your legs

[misty ravine]

Huh

[calm salmon]

please

please

[misty ravine]

That too

[calm salmon]

otherwise build's fine

[shadow spruce]

thats my torso?

[misty ravine]

Especially if you end up putting an XL engine in there

[calm salmon]

like yeah, you could drop half a ton of ams ammo for srm ammo

but build's fine

just put the SRM ammo in your legs

or at least as much of it as you can

legs are C.A.S.E until you get ferro-fibrous armor

I think it's Ferro that adds case to all locations

[misty ravine]

It's one of the later Ferros I think

[void bison]

I think if I was in a world that needed 15,000 rounds of AMS ammo I'd rather fucking die than live in missile hell

[calm salmon]

that looks like YACL or something

[misty ravine]

But yeah the legs are the best place for ammo because blowout panels are lostech for some reason

[calm salmon]

YAWCE apparently

[void bison]

I guess it gives ams even more ammo or something

[calm salmon]

Ah yeah

Yet Another Weapon

I know the guys behind that mod

neat folks

really like their OP pirate shit

ala ams double ammo bin with 15k ammo

[shadow spruce]

lb10x slug or non slug

[void bison]

...

[calm salmon]

lb10x always shotgun

[misty ravine]

Pirate Fuel Cell (stack on top of heat reduction quirks and now your Awesome has literally heatless PPCs)

[calm salmon]

just use an AC/10 for slug stuff

[void bison]

you can swap

[shadow spruce]

is active probe even worth?

[calm salmon]

All of the EWAR is worth it

But it's like

super esoteric in MW5

because the modded equipment just raises your detection range of units

[void bison]

I don't know if I've used anything from it besides maybe some double ammos if those aren't base game

[calm salmon]

Can't really improve accuracy in a first person shooter

[misty ravine]

Yes, brawlers like being able to detect enemies hiding around corners and LRM/Arrow boats just to be able to lock on without line of sight

[calm salmon]

It'll all be stuff like Pirate PPC or AC-10P etc

[void bison]

I have the Artemis IV and i've heard it's very op but I haven't put it on anything

[calm salmon]

RAC-10P

looking for that (P) modifier

[shadow spruce]

i mean its not even that im a brawler i just end up with like 6 mechs in my face

[median steeple]

it's just an missile system that has tighter spread

pretty good

[calm salmon]

Kinda funny to see Mort approaching MW5 like it's Roguetech

For the most part

just slam shit in mechs and hit the fire button as often as your heat limiter allows you

[shadow spruce]

sister ive been rockin the same atlas build since ive got it

[median steeple]

I mean

[misty ravine]

Like I said, with very few exceptions the game will force every engagement into close range even if you don't

VTOLs peppering you from 2000m? Just take cover and/or shoot at something else for 5 seconds, they'll fly straight at you

[median steeple]

it's an atlas

[calm salmon]

The game's not hard enough to really force interesting or diverse buildcrafting

[median steeple]

all you really gotta do

[calm salmon]

even with all of the overhaul mods

[void bison]

hype moments and aura

[calm salmon]

At this point, you just need to start tinkering just to tinker

Money is free in MW5

and downtime is just 4 spacebar presses away

I think it's spacebar that skips time forward

been a minute

[median steeple]

that's what clans operate on

esp fucking

ghost bears

GLORY TO COMSTAR RAAAAAAAAH

https://tenor.com/view/andor-brasso-scream-screaming-riot-gif-27145761

DEATH TO THE CLANS

[void bison]

are they honor bound to not use their warships

I thought those things were extinct and killed billions

[calm salmon]

now that's a beaut

[calm salmon]

It's more something everyone naturally came to the conclusion of at around the same time

and it happened before the clans existed

[median steeple]

the planet killing came later

[calm salmon]

"Hmm, maybe glassing planets isn't conducive to the long term survival our nation-state"

[void bison]

I believe it while we're on just one rock but humanity does NOT have that kinda control over itself

[calm salmon]

Clan psychology and battle tactics just naturally reinforced that thinking through goofy things like "Honor" and "Pride"

[void bison]

we got infinite rocks to make boom now

[median steeple]

it's how they delt with problems compared to IS

which just blew each other up in large scale wars

[void bison]

they got the goofiest version of pride where they call us cowards for winning against them with subpar mechs and then demolishing them once we have their tech

[median steeple]

compared to clans and their duels

[calm salmon]

Hey, give credit to the Innersphere

they stopped nuking each other

and started nuking the Periphery instead

I love the inner sphere!

after playing clans seeing the death of Weaver flash in the video is so fucking funny

they make you really hate her in that game

since you're clan SJ for the main story

[void bison]

guys

it would take me 69 days to reach the pleasure pit

[misty ravine]

Clanners talking about liberating mankind from the feudalist-fascist boot heels of the Great Houses and the superiority of their eugenic bloodline in the same breath

[median steeple]

I'd say wolf kind of succeeds since they make the third star league

[void bison]

thank god this dichotomy doesn't exist in the real world, fiction can truly be scary

[median steeple]

but I don't know enough about it to say it's a good thing

also I love how that phrase can be used for like

two houses

liao and kurita

lyrans and davion are like

pretty fucking chill to live in

esp lyran space

[misty ravine]

Until Local Steiner-Davion fucks everything up

[shadow spruce]

davion loves me but steiner does not

[void bison]

I need to learn deeply of battletech lore so I know the factions and their respective sizes/strength

[median steeple]

I wish the fed com lasted until the clan invasion

[void bison]

davion is the worst choice to build rep with

[median steeple]

but if it did the clanners would've been smoked

lyrans are goated ngl

[shadow spruce]

because of the merger?

[void bison]

yes

[median steeple]

them and kuritans usually have the best mechs

[shadow spruce]

they still exist

like i still get the +25% with them

[median steeple]

you keep the rep with each faction in the fedcom

and when the split up it stays the same

[void bison]

we be thuggin

holy atlas spam

get a fucking mard

or a longbow

[shadow spruce]

hey man it works

[median steeple]

you have a CHARGER

[void bison]

canonically a failure

[misty ravine]

So stunned she forgot to bare her teeth

[shadow spruce]

only because its a 380 limit and i dont have a 4th atlas

[misty ravine]

Charger is fine as long as it's not the shitass stock 1A1

[median steeple]

is this from wolves?

lmfao

[misty ravine]

Yeah, opening cutscene

[median steeple]

LMFAO

[void bison]

I only have 27 million

[shadow spruce]

u can make it back

[void bison]

15% lbx damage

[median steeple]

The 2767 genesis of the Nightstar lies in the Amaris Civil War, when it was noticed that unit commanders, most of whom were piloting Marauder BattleMechs, were being targeted by troops loyal to Stefan Amaris. The 'Mech itself was only produced until the first year of the First Succession War, 2786, when both of the factories capable of producing the Nightstar were destroyed or their engineers killed

oops wrong thing

[shadow spruce]

rough

[median steeple]

imo any SLDF mech is worth the price

I heard there was an SLDF black knight in MW5 and I could never find it

[void bison]

is the loki any good because I stripped the weapons already and could sell this for 6.6m

[misty ravine]

Nah

[void bison]

actually nvm it's kinda dripless anyways

[median steeple]

isn't this a mod?

[median steeple]

fuckkkk

idk it's a weird wacko clan mech

[misty ravine]

In YAML an Inner Sphere hero mech (or even just a regular one with good Quirks) loaded up with Clan equipment is better than almost any Clan mech

With a few exceptions (e.g. Nova Prime)

[shadow spruce]

i should get another atlas

[carmine lance]

I have the bl6 with the command probe though that’s the stock i think

[misty ravine]

The difference is even bigger if you keep the lore-accurate settings that make it so you can't swap out omnimech equipment like engine or armor

[void bison]

he is mine

[shadow spruce]

whered u find him?

[void bison]

romulus

[median steeple]

lmfao the video I posted

[shadow spruce]

post kerensky?

[median steeple]

glad it worked

you can get pre SoK

[void bison]

I saw the thumbnail had romulus and figured I should go there

[median steeple]

it's an SLDF mech so that shit's been out and about for 3 centuries

give or take

I forgot when the SL fell

[shadow spruce]

yog u should pilot a black widow

[void bison]

this thing shreds demolition

[shadow spruce]

i need to find more ams systems but i unironically cant find a damn one

the 2 ive got were random salvage after missions were done

[misty ravine]

Dunk Hammer Best Hammer

[void bison]

I think I will wait to outfit and use the Atlas II until I get a clan lb10x

[shadow spruce]

orrrrrr u could use ur super cool and awesome mech right now

have you tried sending them screaming into hell

[shadow spruce]

I tried real good

Thanks auto correct

[void bison]

does ttrulez ai work?

[shadow spruce]

Seemed to?

[void bison]

light clanner mechs weren't shooting their mgs or other weapons at me

[shadow spruce]

Idk I was a little busy trying to not get massacred

[void bison]

presumably other mechs too they're just the most obvious

because of how obvious the bad mg fx are

[shadow spruce]

They were definitely shooting cause I lost an atlas

Like they cored thru 640 some odd armor

Definitely gonna have fun later today after I get some sleep

[void bison]

salvage all of their cool shiny stuff

@plush estuary when should I be usin sciers gaze on ur soyker build

I only recently learned its power against bosses

[hearty nebula]

whats their build i dont know if i seen it

if its melee centric u basically just pop it whenever there's an opportunity to to farm 5000000 weakspots

[glossy nimbus]

whenever theres a horde??

[hearty nebula]

hordes or tanky enemies

[glossy nimbus]

I've only been increasing my peril when theres hordes

cuz higher peril more cleave

[hearty nebula]

weakpoint hits on melee soyker builds lets u extend duration like crazy

[frosty herald]

whats the build?

[signal spoke]

Scier has such low cooldown you might just be spamming it ever occasion

Agaisnt hordes, armour and bosses

[hearty nebula]

^ ya basically just use it whenever there's stuff to kill

if you get full duration out of it it's like

[signal spoke]

It is also great for toughness regen

[glossy nimbus]

true true and it comes back p much instantly when u keep getting special kills

[hearty nebula]

15s cd or some shit lmao

maybe less

i think somewhere around 12-13s is more accurate?

if u have extra cd stuff

[signal spoke]

The uptime of the scier lets you do nasty stuff

[hearty nebula]

ya you can go so long lol

i like pairing it with bfgs bc it just turns it into a mulch machine

[glossy nimbus]

what does suppression immunity mean

does it mean ur screen no shake whenshot

ya basically

[frosty herald]

@gray ice i open the map and instant massive tidal basin jumpscare

also

@sterile stone do you want a bullet king if i can get a big alejandro

[placid fiber]

basically you don't get the massively increased sway and screen shake from being shot at

suppression badly affects the lasguns, I know that much
