Which heavy Mech?

So, you want a Mech with oomph, but don’t want to go all the way up to the assault class? Read on, to discover a healthy selection of heavies…

5. Archer Tempest

The Archer Tempest’s double MRM40s pack a mean punch in this build. This Mech is dependent on ammo but makes up for that with its cool playstyle. A twin volley of medium-range missiles will inspire awe in even the most ardent enemies!

What makes the Archer Tempest great: 

  • An insane amount of 80 damage
  • Good medium ranger

Archer Tempest build info:

Start at: 0:26

 

4. Black Knight

Nine medium pulse lasers make for a laser boat with a lot of firepower. Split your fire groups up between arms and torso, to avoid overheating, and let the rays fly.

What makes the Black Knight great: 

  • Balanced Mech
  • Good firepower
  • Not dependent on ammo

Black Knight build info:

 Start at: 0:43

 

3. Catapult Jester

While the Jester’s armaments, with six medium pulse lasers, are nothing to really brag about, with a speed of up to 94 kph it is one of the fastest heavy Mechs around. This makes it ideal for hit-and-run attacks!

What makes the Catapult Jester great: 

  • Jump jets
  • Can run up to 94 kph

Catapult Jester build info: 

 Start at: 1:39

 

2. Champion

Five medium lasers and either an AC/20 cannon or a heavy gauss rifle make this Mech a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. The variety in weapons makes for a very fun and versatile playstyle.

What makes the Champion great: 

Fun playstyle

Effective at 300 to 400 m

Can use lasers when projectile ammo is depleted

Champion build info: 

 Start at: 2:18 seconds

 

1. Marauder

The Marauder is a classic and a stalwart favorite among many MechWarriors. It can shield well with its side torsos and has some high weapon mounts that allow for attacks from behind tall cover.

What makes the Marauder great: 

  • Can peek above cover
  • Good defensive quirks
  • Massive side torsos

Marauder build info:
