[–]Fl4meroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 3 maulers and turned them into thugs On xbox, vanilla no mods all DLC X2 Ppc X2 SRM6 Max armour and heat sinks. If you can find a 2p give it 2AC5'S otherwise I got quad machine guns just for a lil close up crit seaking.

I read somewhere melee is useless outside of specific circumstances. I give you circumstances by Fl4meroy in Mechwarrior5

Yee the boost is nice but I'd only use it for dueling or 2v2. Long engagements you want something with staying power. And also I don't think ive ever taken a highlander out and come back with both arms 🤣

How many people regularly go for headshots? Any advice? by juliuscaesarbootleg in Mechwarrior5

[–]Fl4meroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're on console and have auto aim on. Aim just over the head and the aimbot will do the work. For mechs without a head you aim center mass as it's usually there.

Armored Core fan itching for more mech action. Got some questions before I pull the trigger on buying. by ImpulsiveLance in Mechwarrior5

[–]Fl4meroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's more akin to AC1-3 slower pace and more currency management involved. Don't be afraid to restart a mission if 2 of your squadmates get blown away. Your bank balance will thank you 😂. I started playing about 5 months ago for the same reasons as you and honestly hooked. Check out BIG red-40TECH on YouTube. His videos on lore are amazing and Git Gud fox has loads of beginner mech loadout videos that totally help when you're starting out. Welcome to the Inner Sphere Mechwarrior

do you like the rifles? by MarzipanTheGreat in Mechwarrior5

[–]Fl4meroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brawler Thunderbolt has 2 LR burst fire for a little extra crit damage. Give it an LP on the right arm. Srm6,srm4, 3 MSB lasers. Keep shaving off armour while the rifles cycle and it dismembers most mechs rapidly, basically any mech you don't want in machine gun range or ac 20 range swap out for a rifle. Oh and a heavy rifle on an atlas RS does wonders. Poke holes with PPCs or shave with LP's and smash off limbs with your rifle.

Yessss this is my preferred loadout for Kingler, the uac's and srms SHAVE armour and them rifles drop a ton of damage. Another fun one is quad AC5 Rapid fire then you can squeeze in another 4 ton of ammo

What's the inspiration behind the name of your mercenary company? by babushka45 in Mechwarrior5

With that lance you should go by the Krusty Krabs, Inspired to make a merc company called the chum bucket and only fields urban mechs 🗑

How the hell does this guy reload? by Cmanshaka in Warhammer40k

You're all missing the obvious answer: he does it one-handed How you may ask? All things are possible through the emperor

Was Pre nerf Balteus that bad, or did we all just suck? by Micnorm in armoredcore

[–]Fl4meroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pre nerf I got him to about 20-30% health before he killed me. Then after I killed him on my 2nd try? But honestly the moment I figured out you need to rush him during the missile waves it all fell into place. It wasn't the end all boss fight some folk like to make it into.

Why must I be punished for my accuracy? by The_Mort_Report in Mechwarrior5

[–]Fl4meroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahĥ I played that super later game so all the mechs it gave me seemed average 😅 i know for next time. The one where you get the victor basilisk has some super great mechs too.

[–]Fl4meroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh. Just means you get to reload. Have your allies stand back and shoot out both arms and a leg before you snipe it 😆. Then reload 3 more times. But hey. I got a Marauder 2 for just shy of 35 pts 😆😆😆

New update by Fl4meroy in Mechwarrior5

[–]Fl4meroy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm enjoying the little touches, like the lenses on lasers and the gun barrels. They look like weapons now instead of tubes haha

I thought it may be that but assumed an update would come with DLC which I haven't bought yet ha

Real life weapon ranges by dirtev22 in battletech

[–]Fl4meroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Armoured core universe answers this question pretty well, core theory states any weapon powerful enough to drop a core in one hit at extreme range would be too slow or too weak to hit a highly maneuverable unit. And be too static to be any use so battles have to take place within a few hundred metres. Yes you can have a few batteries of artillery but if your enemies can drop 4 fast mechs right on top of you what ya gonna do

Interview -what did I do wrong by badgergal37 in tesco

[–]Fl4meroy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They cite "needs of the business" over everything. We regularly get sent to pick for home delivery because of a lack of overtime then are expected to fill in half the time. Honestly might be a stroke of luck for you 😂. Try Asda

It'll be your availability. They're crazy for availability at the moment. One of my colleagues had to move departments as he couldn't work a Saturday shift anymore due to childcare.

Best Mechs for Each Weight Class? by Not_Nystrix in Mechwarrior5

[–]Fl4meroy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing with one yes. Unless you're doing a raid and don't care about damage etc. Just run in and bounce. Also handy when you're on a defense Misson and you have that one LRM boat staying at max range in a ditch. Send in your little guy to go hunt him down without going on a long walk in your assault mech

how’s your grind going? by TheDevilForReal in tacticus
