MechWarrior Online: JaegerMech Hero, Firebrand (Rifleman build), in Action

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the JaegerMech Hero mech, Firebrand, with 2 ER Large Lasers, 2 AC5, and 2 Medium Lasers. A slightly heavier version of the Rifleman.

Battle in Crimson Strait where I get 3 kills and 7 assists on 428 damage. Not a great game, but it was fun.

Another match in Crimson Strait where I get 5 kill steals and 3 assists on 595 damage.


A match in Alpine Peaks where this build shines thanks to the longer than normal engagement distances. I get 2 kills and 10 assists on 692 damage. Oh, and 303,702 C-Bills (thanks hero mech and Premium time bonuses).

MechWarrior Online: 1000th Match in Atlas AS7-D-DC

This is my 1000th match in an Atlas AS7-D-DC. It's not pretty. It wasn't fun. It really wasn't how I wanted my 1000th  match the D-DC to go, but oh well. :D

The weapon load out is my preferred build for using the D-DC in 4 man groups these days. An AC20, two ER Large Lasers, and three SRM6. It gives me decent damage at long, medium, and short engagement ranges.

I also have a second AS7-D-DC that is my "shotgun" build with two LB-10X, two Medium Lasers, and three SRM4 that I run in 4 man groups. It is a strictly a short range brawler.

In 12 man groups I swap out the ER Large Lasers for regular Large Lasers because I tend to engage the enemy at shorter ranges and the drop in heat from the lasers is needed for better heat management once the brawl starts.

MechWarrior Online: 500th Match in Atlas AS7-D

Below is my 500th match in the Founder's Atlas, AS7-D(F). The weapons layout is two AC5, two ER Large Lasers, and two Medium Lasers. It's not my favorite build, but it consistently puts out good damage over a match.

This particular match isn't anything special as far as my performance or my team's performance goes, but I wanted to record it for posterity.
