MechWarrior: Online - Catapult CPLT-K2 Build (Jager Destroyer)

I've been piloting the Catapult for so long, I only just figured out that the Catapult has a major issue with its head. It's so damn easy to headshot it's not even funny anymore. This means I just gotta stay well away from the enemy. To do so I have to change the Mech from Brawler to Sniper. Also the current Meta favours snipers anyway...
I don't buy MC, not because I don't want to support the game, but because I actually have no credit card... and I'm kinda poor. So that means I have to make do with what I got and slowly grind C-Bills. Which means I have to make do with cheap (C-Bills wise) Mechs. With that in mind, it's time I reveal some useful (yet cheap) builds.

MechWarrior: Online Highlander HGN-733P (Theory) Build

UPDATE 1: Due to the latest patch (June 18th, 2013), Large Pulse Lasers have been nerfed. This "Theory" build has been rendered worthless.

Theory and practicality have always been and will be different. However they both cannot exist without the other as practicality was based off theory in the first place. So let's begin with a Theory Build for the new loved/hated Highlander HGN-733P.
Remember, I don't buy MC, not because I don't want to support the game, but because I actually have no credit card... and I'm kinda poor. So that means I have to make do with what I got and slowly grind C-Bills. Which means I have to make do with cheap (C-Bills wise) Mechs. With that in mind, let's take a look and some theoretically useful (yet cheap) builds.

MechWarrior: Online - CPLT-C4 Build

Update 1: This build is now outdated, however it is still usable, but not recommended.

I have a profane love for Catapults. I guess it's maybe because they're the closest thing there is to my beloved Marauder (Cataphracts just don't look right). The Catapult just looks awesome to me!! Reversed legs have always looked fantastic on "bestial" Mechs.
But all that's unimportant. What's important is how effective they are; and I have 3 very effective Catapult builds for 3 different Catapults. These 3 Catapults are "The Catapult Brothers" and are named "Jager", "Panzer" and Schneider". Each "Catapult Brother" has 1 and only 1 upgrade

It's my first post of this month, and let's begin by saying WHOO!! Tau has finally arrived! It's about time they get some much needed love. I assume everyone's already read the White Dwarf and are now eagerly awaiting the Tau Codex!!

So let's begin by my thoughts on some of the new releases. Let's start with the biggest thing in the Tau Codex. The XV104 Riptide.
