Gimpy's exploits in MechWarrior Online. MechWarrior Online is a free to play game taking place in the year 3051 AD where you pilot giant robots called "battle mechs" or "mechs", team up with other people, and battle other groups of people for control of the galaxy!
Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Banshee, BCN-3S, with an AC20, two Large Lasers, and a Medium Laser. This isn't a super fantastic build, but it is a decent tanking mech because the weapon cool downs give you time to fire and torso twist as needed. Basically, it gets the job done.
The below video is a come from behind win during a Forest Colony Assault match. We end up ambushing some of the enemy at the arch/tunnel exit and then push through to crush their attempted ambush at the other end. I end up with 2 kills and 8 assist on 632 damage.
This is a series of videos where I pilot my Founder's Atlas, AS7-D (F), with 2 Large Lasers, 2 LRM10 with Artemis, and 2 Medium Lasers. It's not a LRM boat or a typical high damage output build, but it can do some serious damage over the course of a match. The LRMs can be used to engage at long range while taking little damage in return. Once you get in the 180 to 500 meters range, the LRMs perform more like Streak SRMs and you get to add in your lasers for pinpoint damage to strip off heavily damaged parts of your enemy.
The below Assault match took place in River City where I got 4 kills and 8 assists on 674 damage.
In an effort to not be sucked in to the current meta builds of 2 PPCs and 1-2 ACs on a jumpjet equipped mech, I built this Highlander HGN-733 with 1 LB-10X, 2 Large Lasers, and 4 SSRM2 (with a Beagle Active Probe too). It turns out to be a pretty decent brawler that can deal with any size mech thanks to the mixed weapon package.
In the below video I get 2 kills and 8 assists on 503 damage in Forest Colony.
Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Atlas Hero mech, The Boar's Head. The current weapon load outs I am using are:
AC20, two ER Large Lasers, and four Medium Lasers with a Standard 375 engine
Six Large Lasers with a Standard 350 engine.
AC20 and six Medium Pulse Lasers with a Standard 350 engine
The builds are a little warm on the hotter maps, but do really well on the cooler maps.
Below is a match in Canyon Network where I get 3 kills and 4 assists on 494 damage.
Below is my best match to date in The Boar's Head where I get 3 kills and 3 assists on 738 damage in HPG Manifold.
In the below match I get 4 kills and 4 assists on 446 damage with the 6 Large Lasers build.
Here is a match where I am using the 6 Large Laser build and get 6 kills and 2 assists on 584 damage in an HPG Manifold assault match.
I dust off The Boar's Head, with 6 Large Lasers after not playing it for a while because of the Clan mechs for a match in Frozen City Night. I get 5 kills and 2 assists on 566 damage.
In the video below, I pilot the Boar's Head with an AC20 and 6 Medium Pulse Lasers in Tourmaline Desert. I get 2 kills and 5 kills on 686 damage.
This is a series of videos where I pilot an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20, two Large Lasers, and three SRM6. I've liked this particular build for close range brawling since Closed Beta. The Large Lasers give it some mid-range attack, but it excels at ranges under 270 meters due to the AC20 and 3 SRM6.
You'll probably notice I have no problem using the AC20 to hit targets past 270 meters. I started doing this after the change to ACs where their max range was increased from double to triple the optimum range. At 500 meters, the AC20 is doing about 10 points of damage and, I feel, is effective to about 600 meters.
Battle in Canyon Network where I get 2 kills and 4 assists on 673 damage.
Battle in Caustic Valley where I get 5 kills and 2 assists on 818 damage. You will probably need to watch in full screen to see what I'm shooting at most of the game. :)
Here is my Phoenix Battlemaster, BLR-1G, series of videos. The current
build is three Large Lasers, four Medium Lasers, and two Machine Guns and can be found here: Battlemaster, BLR-1G
The video below took place in Tourmaline Desert where I got 5 kills and 5 assists on 838 damage.
Battle in Caustic Valley where I got 3 kills and 7 assists on 478 damage. Sharing this mostly because I got to kill a Jenner and a Spider when they probably thought I was going to be an easy kill for them. :D
Here are a few videos I recorded during one of our, Death's Hand Brigade, recent training nights. We were sync dropping two 12 man teams against each other and I was lucky enough to be on the winning team 3 out of 4 battles.
I am piloting an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20, two Large Lasers, and three SRM6.
A battle in Alpine Peaks. I get 1 kill and 10 assists on 411 damage.
A battle in Tourmaline Desert. I get 1 kill and 10 assists on 745 damage.
A battle in Caustic Valley. I don't get any kills, but have 9 assists on 523 damage.
Here are two 12v12 battles between two Death's Hand Brigade 3rd Battalion groups during a training session. We sync drop in Conquest mode to increase the odds of getting matched against each other. The purpose of the training is to work on communication, focus firing, and moving as a group. The overall focus of the training is combat. So, we don't intentionally cap bases.
The mech I'm piloting is an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20, 2 Large Lasers, and 3 SRM6s.
Two Death's Hand Brigade 3rd Battalion teams face off in Caustic Valley. This was during our first night of 12v12 training. We had dropped against this same DHB group two times earlier and they kicked our butts, but we make up for it this time. Our teamwork and communication were much better than in previous drops and it paid off.
While piloting an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20 and 2 Large Lasers, and 3 SRM6s, we run into a DHB group in a Caustic Valley Assault battle. Not sure if you can see it in the in-game text chat, but one of my fellow DHB team mates put a bounty on my head if someone would team kill me.
While piloting an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20, 2 Large Lasers, and 3 SRM6s, we run into another DHB group in a Tourmaline Desert Assault battle. I get a couple of light mech kills and a lucky finishing shot on another Atlas.
While in a DHB 4 man group, I pilot an Atlas, AS7-D-DC, with an AC20, 2 Large Lasers, and 3 SRM6s in an Alpine Peaks Assault battle. The AS7-D-DC is the mech I have spent the most time in (37 hours time played) and is arguably my best mech.
Trying out a newer build for me in an Atlas, AS7-D, with an AC20, 2 PPCs, and 2 Medium Lasers in a Frozen City Night Conquest battle. I did OK, but still not a big fan of PPCs in an Atlas because the shots come out a little low and the convergence can be way off when you don't give the arms enough time to align for the distance.
