#MWO (#MechwarriorOnline) by Piranha Games. Free to play at mwomercs.com. MechWarrior Online is a free-to-play vehicular combat video game, officially launched during September 2013 by Piranha Games for Microsoft Windows. The game takes place within the larger #BattleTech universe. In MechWarrior: Online, players takes the role of a ""MechWarrior"" who pilots large bipedal combat vehicles known as BattleMechs (Mech for short). Players can customize their BattleMech with an array of weapons and equipment, and engage in 12 versus 12 battles, the outcome of which earns the players experience and c-bills for future BattleMech purchases and customization. There are currently seven game modes that involve protecting and attacking a single base (Assault), capturing and holding several points (Conquest), take and hold the center of the map (Domination), attacking a space defense system (Siege/Counter-Attack), protecting and attacking field bases with turrets and walls spread across the map (Incursion), and team death-match (Skirmish).

alternative firegroups: left mouse chain fire left arm 3 and top 3, right mouse chainfire right arm 3 and top 3. kinda feels easier to use at least for me XD great build.

[@imdaogsee3648]

Plasma Cannons are basically Clan Light PPCs. Similar damage/range with a touch more heat. But supposedly they deliver heat to your opponent. Lot of fun to watch sir, thanks!!

[@braddl9442]

In his matches you watch some of the people he is shooting stop shooting and try to run only to fall over dead. This works because on the Rhino you can actually bring enough plasma to Overheat a target. And its really hard to track how well OVERHEATING is working like flamers.

[@braddl9442]

Mass Plasma on an assault can work cause you can bring enough to actually cause HeAT issues for what you shoot out when your shooting 3 groups of 3 constantly at something. I noticed that some people you shot would stop shooting mid engagement. Then just die and fall over likely from the heat or ammo explosion from heat.

[@Gibson7Clans]

Once I saw the name. I had to see this right away. Thanks greatly TTB for this epic rain of plasma. 🎉

[@Primearch-GG]

I name this build the Stone Rhino MF! (Seriously, someone tell Mechanical Frog about this, he'd be hopping around like itis his birthday)

[@Puma1Sunfire1]

I am reminded of a hunchback build where you went trolling with 6x light PPCs

[@Gibson7Clans]

That’s a fun build I like to take. I chain fire the shots. To act like a ppc version of the RAC-AC5.

[@ThorsDecree]

PPC spam has always been my favorite kind of mech build. Black Knight in MW4 with plasma cannons was a fun Solaris dueling build. Would be cool if they'd add capacitors and linked caps for PPCs in MWO. More slots and weight for higher RoF and slightly higher heat iirc.

[@SquishyFletcher]

I love the sound of the plasma cannon...but it seems massively underwhelming for Clan Space Magic, even compared to the IS LPPC.

[@JaveyJenkins]

liked your rinho. I dropped in recently with a MAD IIC with six plasmas, 375 xl and 31 single heatsinks, If I chain fire just right, I get a rotory plasma cannon. the heat is negligible. so once they get red you can hit'em with an alpha. lot's of fun because of the mobility.

[@Gibson7Clans]

Nice. 😁

[@kingslaphappy1533]

Solid play with Plasma!

[@diet_dr.demoncore]

hell yeah

[@ZacharyP-ct1jl]

10:35 That's a court martial for sure.

[@ghoulbuster1]

Can't wait for those plasma buffs.

[@LazyLifeIFreak]

The Atlas with the RAC2's and the ER medium lasers. 🤦‍♂

[@alexandert411]

Rhinoplasmy helps rearrange your mech's face.

[@hansmercier2809]

What is the point of the heat damage if 9 of them won't shutdown guys walking in lava on therma. either buff it or remove it and switch to actual damage.

[@txflood2519]

Override, engaged.

[@osbornyoung3529]

I tried running 6 plasma guns on the recent ebon jaguar free mech. It’s not bad but something about it just doesn’t feel right. Those plasma guns need something but I can’t say what.

[@indignantlamentation6307]

This amount of plasma does seem to do okay at suppression of stare builds that are making a lot of heat.

[@Gibson7Clans]

So how much heat does the enemy build up. If they get hit by 9 Plasma PPCs center torso. I forget the numbers. And heat spreads to side torsos too if I remember right. Increasing heat gain to target.

[@ghoulbuster1]

0.25 heat x plasma shot, so 2.25 heat if all 9 hit

[@Gibson7Clans]

@@ghoulbuster1 thanks for the info. 👍 but that seems kinda low…. Hmm..

[@braddl9442]

@@Gibson7Clans Most people ride the line of their own heat so a spike like that will cause issues. ESP since TTB was able to do like 3 volleys of 9 plasma guns. So he was causing enough issues for them with this build. This might be one of the only viable builds for plasma right now.

[@Gibson7Clans]

@@braddl9442 nice. Thanks for the reply. 😁

[@Machin3Jamm3r]

I still remember tha Plasma PPC from Mechassault 2…

[@maxparece4155]

We do not talk about the Plasma PPC from Mechassualt 2

[@Machin3Jamm3r]

@@maxparece4155 the Memetic Cognito Hazard has been planted, my duty is done.

[@Gibson7Clans]

I loved mech Assault on the original XBox. It’s a spin off of mech warrior. But it got me in to the series. So I am found of the game. 😁

[@maxparece4155]

@@Gibson7Clans same! I believe I started with MechCommander gold, but then played the MechAssault games.

[@Gibson7Clans]

@@maxparece4155 nice. 😁I wish we had that multi green plasma projectiles weapon from mech assault 2. It was some basic energy weapon you can start with for your mechs. Any idea what the Equivalent is from mech warrior/battle tech?

[@420pharma]

Do an SR-2 build

[@SheyD78]

I have to ask how does this feel compared to a full CPPC or CER PPC build.

[@JarokvanSagittaron]

What are CPPC? Clans only use ER PPCs and Plasma Cannons.

[@SheyD78]

@@JarokvanSagittaron huh, add that to the list of things I didn't realise I didn't know.

[@blacksheepboyz]

Cantaloupe not cantitdo

[@randombloke82]

Am I the only one that finds the FX for the plasma cannon a bit lacklustre? Sound and visual both.
