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 Classic heavy class BattleMech, the Marauder.
Variants:
MAD-3R
MAD-5D
MAD-5M
MAD-BH2
In the below video I pilot the Hero Marauder, the Bounty Hunter II, MAD-BH2, in a Viridian Bog Assault match. The mech is outfitted with two Large Pulse Lasers and five Medium Lasers. I get 3 kills and 6 assists on 736 damage. Not an outstanding match, but it was fun.
Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Wolverine. The Wolverine is a 55 ton medium mech.
In this video I pilot the Wolverine, WVR-6R, with two AC5 and one Medium Laser in River City. I get 3 kills and 6 assists on 1002 damage. The damage appears a little high, but an Artillery Strike helped and I typically do 500+ damage with this build. It's a good damage dealer thanks to the AC5 and general ballistic quirks it has.
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.
Here are a series of videos were I pilot the Centurion, CN9-A, with 2 Medium Lasers and 3 SRM6. This build is affectionately known as the "zombie centurion" or "zombie cent" because it can lose both arms, both side torsos and continue to fight due to the medium lasers being in the center torso.
The below Assault match takes place in Alpine Peaks where I get 2 kills and 10 assists on 253 damage. My damage output is so low because of the very hectic fur ball that takes place and SRMs are not the ideal weapons for that situation.
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.
A Death's Hand Brigade group of 3 assault mechs and 1 medium mech assault the enemy base while our PUGs hold off the enemy at our base. We eliminate the defensive turrets and capture the enemy base to win the match.
I am piloting an Atlas AS7-D (one of my Founder's mechs) with two AC5, two ER Large Lasers, and two Medium Lasers.
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.
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).
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.

Here are a series of videos of me piloting the hero Cataphract "Ilya Muromets", CTF-IM.
The load out I am using is three AC5 and three Medium Lasers. I used to use three Ultra AC5, but got tired of the guns jamming and since the AC5 now fires at the same rate as the Ultra AC5, the damage output is about the same.
A match in Forest Colony Snow where I get 3 kills and 5 assists on 418 damage.
A match in Crimson Strait where I get 2 kills and 5 assists on 659 damage.
Here is a series of videos where I pilot an Atlas, AS7-D, with two AC5, two ER Large Lasers, and two Medium Lasers.
This is a new build for me. I've tried AC5 and UAC5 builds before on the Atlas, but never really liked them for brawling because of the faster rate of fire. Usually when I brawl with an AC20, I fire my big weapons and torso twist to mitigate incoming damage until the weapons finish cycling for the next shot. With faster firing weapons like the AC5, there isn't much time for torso twisting because, if you do, you sacrifice your damage output. So, consider this an experiment for me. :D
A match in Terra Therma where I get 3 kills and 5 assists on 760 damage.
Here is my Battlemaster, BLR-1D, series of videos. The current build is two AC2, one AC5, and four Medium Lasers. The more popular version of this build has three AC2, but I find it runs a little cooler with an AC5 instead of a third AC2 which allows me to use the Medium Lasers a little more often in a brawl.
This match took place in Crimson Strait where I get 6 kills and 1 assist on 709 damage.
A Conquest match in Frozen City Night where I get 7 kills and 4 assists on 694 damage.
I get the last kill of the match, a Death's Knell Commando, COM-TDK, with an AC20 at 400m in a Shadow Hawk, SHD-5M. I'm liking the 5M outfitted with an AC20 and 2 Medium Lasers. It's similar in function to the Blackjack BJ-1 with an AC20 and jump jets, but has a little more toughness thanks to the extra 10 tons and armor.
Not a great match for damage and kills, but I do get 1 kill and 5 assists on 364 damage.
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 series of videos where I pilot the Quickdraw, QKD-4H, in a variety of builds.
In the video below I am using four Medium Lasers and three SRM6 in Frozen City. Not exactly the best build for today's primarily long range game, but once it gets in range... Watch out.
I get 3 kills, 4 assists on 587 damage in this match on Frozen City.
In this video I am using four Medium Pulse Lasers and three SRM4 in a Canyon Network Assault match. The win comes down to a fight between me and a Cataphract. Who will win? :D
The Blackjack BJ-1X with 2 Medium Lasers and 6 Small Pulse Lasers in action during a match in Crimson Straight.
This video was recorded during my second day of fund raising for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. 4 kills and 2 assists on 656 damage. Not too bad considering I hadn't played the BJ-1X in well over a month and I had been playing for 8 hours straight at this point.
I was grouped with a couple of fellow DHB members when one asked me about the load out of the Atlas AS7-D I was running. He wanted to finish off his Atlas pilot skills but hadn't found a good build for the AS7-D. So, I shared my build with him, AC20, 2 ER Large Lasers, and 2 Medium Lasers, and this is what happened in our next match.
