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Update 1: This build is now outdated, however it is still usable, but not recommended.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

 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.

Tau Awesomeness has Arrived!!

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.

Forge World New Releases - Mechanicum Thallax Cohort, Legion MKIV Recon Squad, Legion MKIII Breacher Siege Squad and Legion MKIV Outrider Squadron

Largest title ever...

Today we have a heap of new Forge World releases!! Well, alright I missed out on one of them during my sick leave, so I thought I may as well include it here. It's pretty awesome!!

So first of the new releases is the Mechanicum Thallax Cohort! They are basically robots!! Well in appearance. In fact they have been modified heavily, and by modify, I mean bionics!! They kinda remind me of the Big Daddies from Bioshock, the Rivet Gun Big Daddy methinks. Personally, I think they look a tad odd, least I'm a righty, so I reckon their gun should be attached to the right arm... but that's biased talk.

Next on the release are the Legion MKIV Recon Squad. If you've been reading the White Dwarf, you would've seen one of these guys being made. Least the process. There's a whole host of doodads here and there. They really do look the part of a Scout/Recon Team. All that extra gear for working behind enemy lines, away from their own supply lines!!

MechWarrior: Online - Cataphract CTF-4X Build

Update 1: This build is now outdated, however it is still usable. For an updated Cataphract CTF-4X Build see the new post [Here].

There has been many builds for the Cataphract CTF-4X, and I know that out of all the Cataphracts, the CTF-4X is considered the weakest. That may be so, but it is my personal favourite of all the variants (Hero Mechs notwithstanding). The reasons being; is that I love the sound of ballistic weapons, also it looks less "FrankenMech" weird and pretty damn awesome!!

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.

In bed with Fever

Nothing more needs to be said... I'm kinda really feeling out of it today. Just a simple fever. I saw the Doctor, don't worry I'll be fine. If I wasn't sick, I'd put up a post on some of the MechWarrior: Online Mech builds I use. I'd even do a multiple post as Forge World have some new goodies!! Would post my thoughts and whatnot on them.

Anyway, good day to you, I'll put up more posts this week than normal to make up for this.

MechWarrior: Online PseudoMech 1 Thunderbolt

As far as I know, MechWarrior: Online will never bring the Unseen or Reseen mechs into the game. They want to avoid any possible legal ramifications. Which leaves us fans kinda quite upset. Least I am. I can't pilot my beloved Thunderbolt. Which means the next best thing are "PseudoMechs".

"PseudoMechs" are basically Mechs that have not been implemented in the game, yet it is possible to make the equivalent of it with another Mech that shares some similarities.

In this case, to make the Thunderbolt (or perhaps we shall rename it the Heavybolt), we'll use the Awesome AWS-8V. Why? Because it is the only current Mech Variant that shares a similar structure to the Thunderbolt. There is a Missile Hardpoint on the Right Torso, and Energy Hardpoints on the Arms and Left Torso.

Let's check out the actual build.
