The odds of getting it on any given draw are apparently 1/100; fortunate for you guys. I usually wind up having to play the whole event to get the mech.

Great Beer posted:Easiest event ever I just won the Banshee too with only two lootbags earned so far. My number of mechs owned has gone up 50%! So I WAS saving up for an atlas to fufill my dream of running directly into enemies at full throttle and alpha striking them until one of us is left standing, but this Banshee looks like it can pull that off pretty well too. I didn't see a specific build in the OP for the banshee, so I made one in the browser mechlab and wanted to know what I might be screwing up before spending cash. Is there such a thing as too many heatsinks on a brawling assault? Is that anywhere near enough AMS ammo? Should I bump up some of my med pulses to large at something elses expense? etc. Also, is there anything I should actually know about Faction play before jumping in without a faction assigned? Does it basically give the same C-Bill/exp payout as normal matches? Edit: haha okay I actually opened the banshee up in game and it's already very, very similar in loadout to what I planned there so I'm going to yolo queue with it and see what does and doesn't work Manyorcas fucked around with this message at 04:22 on Mar 17, 2017 |

The banshee is one of the best laser vomit poking mechs in the game, and the only thing that really competes with it in that arena is the battlemaster which is just slightly lighter but otherwise pretty much the same thing. It doesn't make for a very good brawler because it is all energy weapons, which are better for firing and then backing off to cool down. It's up there with the KDK3 as one of the mechs in the game where you should reliably be breaking 700-800 damage in a game if you don't make ridiculously bad decisions that get you killed early. Good games in the banshee will see greater than 1,000 damage, and they're not too rare. Shove a small laser in the first laser slot on the banshee's torsos, then pile 3 large pulse lasers on the right side and 2 on the left, jam an XL400 into that bitch and load it full of heat sinks. Run around blasting people's faces off with staggered 3-2 large pulse laser shots while looking like Earl Hindman from Tooltime from behind whatever cover you can find. The atlas is one of the best brawling assaults, but it really sucks at doing anything else that isn't brawling. You're totally at the mercy of your team while playing one. In faction play you do everything as murderballs of 12 and wipe the enemy team from the map. If someone goes and does their own thing and doesn't die with everyone else, then your team will likely lose because you're fighting four series of 11v12s. The only exception to this is if the enemy team has even more people on their team being stupid.

I'm more than a bit afraid of using XL engines but hell, I'm used to running around in my ACH with 40 armor on the CT so I think I could get used to it. I guess this mech is how I'll learn to get good at positioning and poking around corners. That 6.5 million CBill engine though  Commoners posted:In faction play you do everything as murderballs of 12 and wipe the enemy team from the map.

Just always be torso twisting and you'll do fine with XLs. They're bad in brawlers, but the mobility benefits far outweigh the survivability issues when you're running a laser vomit mech. The default build isn't bad with its standard engine and it can still do work, but the 400XL 5LPL version is about as optimal as it can get.

Dropped this game awhile back from a mixture of bordem / too much micro / PGI being poo poo. Is the game handled any better, or is there just a lot of stockholm syndrome for stompy robots? Does stuff still take forever to grind for? What are the thoughts on the time jump / tech update? I only just caught wind of it and it sounds like it might be interesting enough to come back for.

I was just thinking the other day about how I really didn't like the shift to 12v12... so easy to die fast, and then be stuck waiting forever to use your mech again. Still hoping one day we'll get Solaris 1v1, but knowing PGI if it even does happen, it'll have costly entry fees or some poo poo. I just want to have some dumb light mech duels or some poo poo.

Video from the second screenshot. 1080p should work once it finishes processing. Thanks goons for making the match almost exactly 5 minutes long so shadowplay got the whole thing for once. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c62-XQho13E If Crimson Strait didnt have terrible framerate issues constantly it would be one of the best maps.

There was some pubbie bragging in voice on how he managed to fit a raven with 2xLPL's and a standard engine while still hitting 97kph. When I told him to never brag about poor life choices, he went into a rant about his dead-side shielding skillz.
