Heavy Metal, November 21 (planned)

I just got my MAD-3R. Headshot with an AC/20

 

No mods. But I have been finding atlas II left and right in the black market. I think I have 8 (all but 3 I just sent to storage to get all the equipment).

I love the archers. Warhammer seems squishy. Marauder slightly less squishy. Also snub nosed ppcs are awesome.

 

That Marauder is a head hunting beast. With a good pilot I have a 35% chance for called heat shots. I just need a PPC that does a little extra damage to secure the kills.

 

Not giving away any spoilers but the new Flashpoint series is incredible story wise.

 

Which one is the new one? I just started a new merc campaign (not story just campaign) and installed all the DLCs, which I haven't done any of before, so I have Flashpoints and heavy metal and the raven etc. Did the Raven flashpoint, it was fine. Now doing one way off on a random periphery asteroid that's bloomed into a lot... more, interestingly though the flashpoint started at difficulty 2, after a few pauses looking for leads, its now at 4, and my mechs can't handle it so I'm slowly building up more strength to tackle it. Currently only have 2 heavies in a Thunderbolt and an Orion, but I'm 1 piece away from an Atlas and a Warhammer which should help.

Archers are my fucking bane. I went on one mission that had two of those fuckers in the back row. Seen a few Marauders. My pilots still suck so I can't reliably pick any mechs apart for good salvage, every time I took a called shot it blows up the CT.

EDIT: Just checked, the new flashpoint is the one I'm currently playing. Its fun.

 

..... I may have like 10 Atlas 2s (has double heatsinks and ER large lasers. So I have a bunch of those now) in storage with 3 more Atlas IIs in my ready bay. Black market is chock full of them.

Also took me a bit to figure out UACs use standard AC ammo. Not a separate ammo.

 

Yea I see Atlas' at every black market I go to, I just don't have the cash for 'em yet. And I HAD A UAC10 GODDAMMIT UNTIL SOMEONE BLEW IT UP THOSE ASSHOLES.

Now the regular AC10s just feel... meh.

Also I love urban missions solely so the AI can JJ onto a rooftop and I can shoot the building out from under it and kill both legs.

 

Goddamn the bullshark is OP. Two artillery rounds destroyed 4 medium mechs.

 

Artillery is OP. Weighs 7 tons. And you can put it on any mech. It's equipment like jump jets or heatsinks.
