MechWarrior Online: Gimpy Talks About Clan Mechs, Game Modes, and Missile Mechs

A new player was watching my Twitch stream the other night and he had a few questions about MechWarrior Online. So, since my dinner was waiting for me, I spent the next 30 or so minutes answering his questions. The video recording is below. :)

MechWarrior Online: Atlas AS7-D with 2 Large Laser, 2 LRM10, and 2 Medium Laser In Action

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. 

MechWarrior Online: Griffin, GFN-1N, with ER PPC and 3 Streak SRM2 In Action

Here are a series of videos where I pilot the Griffin, GFN-1N, with an ER PPC and 3 Streak SRM2. It's not a high damage alpha strike build, but it puts out a good amount of damage each match and is an efficient light and medium hunter.

In the below match I get 1 kill and 10 assists on 581 damage in a Frozen City Night Assault match.

MechWarrior Online: Highlander HGN-733 In Action

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.

MechWarrior Online: Phoenix Shadow Hawk, SHD-2H, In Action

Here is my Phoenix Shadow Hawk, SHD-2H, series of videos. The current build is two Auto-cannon 2, one Medium Pulse Laser, and 3 Streak SRM (SSRM) and can be found here: Shadow Hawk, SHD-2H

In the video below, I get gimped and live through it in River City Night. I get 1 kill and 5 assists on 392 damage.

A battle in Terra Therma. I don't get any kills, but there is an epic fight and I end up with 5 assists on 349 damage.

A battle in Canyon Network where I get 2 kills and 7 assists on 477 damage.

A battle in Forest Colony Snow where I get 3 kills and 7 assists on 587 damage.

An Assault match in Canyon Network where I get 3 kills 2 and assists 563 damage.
