MechWarrior: Online - Thunderbolt TDR-9S Build


Well thanks to this weekend's event I managed to pick up the 4th (and currently unreleased) Thunderbolt variant, the TDR-9S. Truth be told; if all the other Phoenix Mechs get an extra 2 variants, the Thunderbolt also deserves 2!! Not just simply 1 or free!! I vote that we get the TDR-7SE!!

What does the TDR-7SE come with? Well a Gauss Rifle, 3 Medium Pulse Lasers in the Torso and 1 Medium Pulse Laser in the Left Arm. Ok, nothing special... BUT it comes with ECM!! We NEED a heavy mech with ECM, and I believe the Thunderbolt deserves it!! Hell I'll take it as a Hero Thunderbolt! I don't care, gimme an ECM Thunderbolt, I'd pay good MC for that!!

Now that I got that off my chest... Today is all about the TDR-9S!

Check it our right meow!

TDR-9S "Bolt Prime" (STD280, 1x AC/10, 6x ML & 2x AMS)

Smurfy MechLab: [Link]

Role: Brawler
Speed: 69.8 kph
Firepower: 40
Armour: 400
Cost: N/A

Weapon Groups
Primary Weapon Group: AC/10
Secondary Weapon Group: All 6 Medium Lasers
Tertiary Weapon Group: 1 Medium Laser (Arms)

Quaternary Weapon Group: 2 Medium Lasers (Right Torso)

The idea here is very simple; you're a dead set brawler. Utilise that AC/10 for popping some damage at range, just don't waste all your shells. In addition, 6 Medium Lasers is nothing to snuff your nose at, that's a 30 damage Alpha right there, and it's quite potent. You might want to watch your heat though, as you can get quite hot!

TDR-9S "Bolt Config. A" (STD280, 1x LBX10, 6x ML & 2x AMS)

Smurfy MechLab: [Link]

Role: Brawler
Speed: 69.8 kph
Firepower: 40
Armour: 400
Cost: N/A

Weapon Groups
Primary Weapon Group: LBX10
Secondary Weapon Group: All 6 Medium Lasers
Tertiary Weapon Group: 1 Medium Laser (Arms)

Quaternary Weapon Group: 2 Medium Lasers (Right Torso)

This build is practically the same as the previous, but you run a lot cooler. And you also lack and form of range.

The idea here is to literally rip open your enemy with all 6 Medium Lasers, before using that LBX10 to crit their internals. Simple, yes?
