Heavy PPCs are SOOO good! Catapult CPLT-K2 - Mechwarrior Online The Daily Dose

[@haylox669]

As someone that doesn't play the game, I'm thankful that you are speeding up the skill breakdown. I do want to know what you got, but a 30 sec explanation is plenty. Good video.

[@roderickvannoorloos1967]

Catapults are one of only two mech chassis that I Mastered and then sold every variant of them (the other being Shadowhawks, never liked how they moved, I see all their strengths but they just don't click with me). This was before the rescale, they just died too easily. Now the rescale already had me looking at the Catapults again in curiosity, but it just didn't feel like the would bring me something new. But this! Now this is a reason to get myself a K2 again, good platform for the new tech, especially in a far smaller Catapult with a Light engine instead of an XL. Thanks for the vid!

[@nuke999170]

This build inspired me to make a AWS-8Q with 2 ER Large Lasers 2 HVY PPC's and tc3 with double heatsinks running on a light engine 300. It's just Awesome made even more Awesome.

[@lionzoo71]

Your video demonstrates the usefulness of arm weapons, which I think are being underutilized at the moment. Your first video especially shows the value of arm mounts.

[@MonoKabi]

I have no issue with arm mounts, they are exceedingly useful. I just hate mechs that have ALL of their offense in the arms, they are just too easy to turn into sticks. Especially light-end Med mechs. Put some armament in the arms, but not all of it is all I'm saying.

[@sim.frischh9781]

I would like to see that the Range quirk also reduced the min range of LRMs and PPCs. Since it already breaks with the lore, i don´t see an issue, and having a slightly earlier damage on the blasts and missiles would be great, because sooner or later mech fights tend to get into short range.

[@arschkopp]

great idea

[@TheSmiley686]

They had that in the closed beta for PPCs. They did reduced damage below 90m, but were still effective. I wish they hadn't changed it.

[@beausandefur1236]

I put this build on a Thanatos and it rocked. Did 2 heavy ppcs, 2 medium lasers, 4 jump jets, ecm, and 335 xl engine. I didn't put any points into the consumables and instead added a little extra armor. Love it .

[@Bill53AD]

Interesting build. I am used to the original Catapult which was a missile boat.

[@Robisme]

I usually go AMS with this. Mainly because of the number of LRM builds out there.

[@Parthemonium]

just built my rifleman-5d with 2 Light PPC's and 2 Heavy PPC's, It's a Little slow but so much fun to Play if you just pair both sides and ist PPC's

[@flow5tate346]

Those Trial by Fire events had me reconsider my K2 build, dropped a HPPC and replaced it with a UAC10, for heat's sake and "subtle" double-tapping.....closed a game by finishing off Radick on top of 2 other kills.

[@xxgrimriverxx9845]

This is pretty close to my build except I have 2xERSL in place of the ML and LMG ammo is 1 ton. But yes the K2 is soo good now with the HPPC's.

[@ChaosAI24]

Your situational awareness is amazing!

[@Baradul]

Thanks :) I've been playing this game for 6 years now. You learn a thing or two.

[@EricFrock]

I just found your channel, you have renewed my interest in playing MWO. Thanks!

[@Baradul]

Welcome back man! Cheers :)

[@kennethfharkin]

I have one Marauder 3R set up with 2 HPPCs in the right arm and 2 ML in the left. LFE, LAMS, Endo Steel and all the DHS she can hold. With max armor, cool run, and heat reduction quirks she brawls like a beast with the 30 points really wrecking face and impacting on top of each other.

[@tiogah]

love the vids man. keep them coming. since I've been watching them, I've been winning a lot more. My favorite Mech so far is either Nova Prime with 10 ER Meds, or my Ember Firestarter with 4 meds and 4 MG's. super fun. 1004 dmg 2 kills and 11 components in the last game I played with the Ember. I was pissing myself laughing.

[@BljesakiOluja]

Well, now you can go XL engine haha, since losing an ST on a build like this now would just result in overheating on every shot of a single HPPC :P GOTTA GO FAST!

[@TimberWulfIsHere]

heavy ppcs are just classic MW4 ppcs

[@Umimugo]

yeah but it just doesn't have that iconic screech

[@IAldana123]

Not until they scream it ain't.

[@anthonyrobinson7715]

That screech was so damn cool. They need to bring it back!

[@logang7203]

Think I'm gonna respec my K2 into this. Looks like a lot of fun

[@MrCantStopTheRobot]

Way to carry the team in the first game, dude!

[@davidramos1340]

Nice build, can't wait to try out some heavy ppcs on my jester. you can fit 2xAC20+2ml with a light 270 engine on the k2. I wanna see you wreck with that lol.

[@Josearnaldomanuel2]

First. Always loved the K2, very versatile. It could also do RACs, Gauss, AC40, etc. seriously good.

[@Jon-kl3is]

I'm hoping for some builds with the Mad Cat MKII, wanna see what you do with em' :)

[@locoyogui]

Hi, MoltenMetal, I have a question for you, how do you know what are the mobility perks that as a player you have to activate in the mech? Can you give a few examples according the different weights? Because for example, a have a pair of atlases and battlemasters and I have activated all the mobility perks but I see you don't do that with this catapult. i'll thank any help you can give me.

[@khornetto]

05:02 You did not hit it, you did naaat! oh hi Mark

[@wills.5762]

I want heavy PPCs to screech like in MW4

[@1987RaPsCaLLioN]

Bara - is there any situation you'd use a Tcomp Mk. 7? it seems about as redundant as the command console...

[@HandSolitude]

"Boom... This is what we do" - Baradul

[@alaricpaley6865]

Still running like it's 2013 Myself. 2 ER PPC and a Gauss. Keep 'em at 1 KM out and harass from wide flanks.

[@rhysedwards15]

Looks like a fun build! To help at short range, what would you think about swapping the Heavy PPC's for ER PPC's to remove the minimum range, and then upgrade to Medium Pulses and Heavy MG's with the saved weight? You may be able to put a bigger engine in with that also. Let me know what you think and keep the great content going!

[@waking00one]

Rhys Edwards the alpha of the heavies is what does it, I ran the build you mentioned before the update and while it can do OK its underwhelming

[@mechadrake]

2xac10 k2 worked better for me than ppc variants, but man, the pult wits sawn off ppcs is fun now, i built one and had awesome games in it. did not try heavy ppcs in in yet

[@sw00din44]

Could you do this build on the jester? (Minus the machine guns)

[@danieldeming]

I don't see why not

[@celuler22]

at 7:09 i would have to check my undies haveing two hppc flying over my head

[@liquidleopard4495]

"Our grievous losses were all part of the plan" XD

[@peregrine2129]

Can you post a nice highlander build? Either IIC or the classic. Hopefully something built around an ac20.

[@sylvana393]

They feel like a good weapon finally. No more 10 min of ppc fire for 200 to 300 dmg.

[@REALdavidmiscarriage]

I have the same build lol but, I Would take out those mgs and put in a 300 light... i also have sml pulse instead of medium lasers because its a lot more heat efficient

[@TheAMGReviewers]

i know im late to the party but this build was so good, its like a sniper but like the police woman from hellsing XD

[@harbringerf9416]

I doubt I would perform as well but I'm going to give this a try.

[@entropy11]

How long do HPPCs negate ECM? Seems like a good long while.

[@bradleyleslie4138]

Hey man, pretty new to your channel but I've been binge watching all of your build videos because they're great! I was just curious if you could make a good heavy gauss build? Or perhaps a dual gauss build? I'd really love to see that :) Hope to see you sometime on the battlefield!

[@bradleyleslie4138]

I mean a dual heavy gauss btw..

[@thadiusfaran1200]

Dual heavy isnt viable, and normal gauss is kinda eh. I prefer light gauss personally because ammo capacity is good and so is ROF.

[@LiveLNXgaming]

one of my favorite mechs. Not a fan of the "arms" on most. I like to just have 2 huge guns bolted to the side.

[@emperor002002]

I call him Rooster!

[@Xalerdane]

Can you do heavy PPC with 2 AC-10s and 2 Med Las?

[@mikewhitaker2880]

my K-2 has ER PPC's as im more of a ranged pilot.. the ER's also have no min rng so that face hugging cheetah would have been face hugging PPC blasts too.....

[@timometsanoja9666]

The ER PPC has lower damage at short range than usual and they are quite hard to hit on a light mech running around you, even if they did hit hard... Lazors are way better in a brawl. Trust me, you don't want to go ramming speed with any PPCs.

[@adjustus11]

I'm sure you've posted it here allready I guess. But can you tell what specs and settings you have?

[@Workopeace]

Hello guys,i need i advice.Its Supernova good option for LRG Laser boat?Thx

[@Baradul]

It's one of the best! Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHKvl6SradqLgKc

[@Toxic__rl]

What is your PC spec and what graphic settings u got ?

[@kimnjuan1271]

You're a master tactician! I really hope I can learn from you, even get a chance to play mechwarrior online with you too.

[@astronutz6623]

Moltenmetal hey molten have you tried 7ppcs on a rifleman, i have mine and its a lightshow, look for my handle Fryingpan

[@astronutz6623]

5 light PPC and 2 Snub nose PPC it sure draws back the NME

[@adamashford8330]

FRIENDLY FIRE 13:45

[@YehatTerminator]

Under minimum range, though.

[@aditdragon]

how do you get skill nodes? mine is 91/91..how do you get 98?

[@AnthonyDavid59]

You get more than 91 by unlocking skills, reverting them and then taking other skills instead.

[@alluringming]

Awesome, makes me wish they brought mechwarrior to all consoles. If not mechwarrior a major improved mecha assault be nice

[@BrokenCurtain]

I'm not sure how the controls would work on a console. Mech games are kinda notorious in that regard.

[@alluringming]

I can understand that, not many mech games for consoles. There were some good gundam games on ps2 that I enjoyed and I had wished they continued with mechassault series

[@BrokenCurtain]

@@alluringming I think you need about 20-30 keys in addition to the mouse in order to control your mech properly and maintain oversight over the battlefield. That's really the main issue here. How did MechAssault solve this?

[@alluringming]

It’s been my time since i played the game. It was defiantly different than mechwarrior 4 which was the only game I played. I don’t have xbox anymore so I can’t remember the button scheme. There is no customizations sadly nor did you have zoom. You move and look around with joystick, cycling was done through y button if remember correctly. If mech had jump jets you press down on left thumb stick, and shooting was done with r1 or l1 button. I could be wrong as I have touched this game in long time. Not sure but I think if have xbox one you can download it

[@alluringming]

www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Microsoft_Xbox/Manual/formated/MechAssault_-_Microsoft_Game_Studios.pdf archive.org/details/xboxmanual_Mechassault_2_Lone_Wolf I think if mexhassailt continued it would had more done to it. Sadly only got three games. 2 for Xbox and 1 for Nintendo days. I did think series had potential as said there hasn’t been mechaasault game in long time

[@MrFatbard]

cant wait for dark matter ppcs :P

[@tuketko]

You have 39 nodes active in firepower. Why is it showing that you have only 36 (36/43/70)?

[@nunyabidness39982]

You know when your artys are ready to go and the voice 'artillery strike online'? That's pretty much what I call the game now. Carrying all these extra suped up artys feels so cheap. For 80k cbills you can get an easy 500 damage and couple extra kills of your lucky. On canyon if your team is coordinated you can funnel the end team into a valley and just drop 6 or 7 strikes

[@TurboPepsi]

He won the videogame! \0/ wp 07

[@admiralbenbow1232]

I think it would be interesting to copy a "MISERY" loadout on the catapult.

[@DarthTach]

I have a Misery with 2 HPPC's and a HGR on the left side. It does wreak stuff. You just have to stagger the firing.

[@admiralbenbow1232]

I was talking about a misery default loadout (without srms off course, because catapult-k2 does not have missile hardpoints)

[@douglasscharbrough2563]

now that heat has been redone its better i think

[@rookiebobplayer244]

Why not laser ams?

[@Baradul]

Too hot for my build :)

[@baneblackguard584]

heavy ppc's don't seem that good to me, the numbers make it look like it would be an awesome weapon but it doesn't play that way. er ppcs seem like they do more damage to me and are way easier to hit with. seems like the same problem as ac20. seems very difficult to hit with and never really seems to do much damage. I'm better off with a pair of ac10's than a pair of ac20's.

[@Shaquiifa]

I have a RL80 Locust alpha strike 142 damage.

[@douglasscharbrough2563]

i know i have come up against you more than once

[@iiiomegaiii20]

need to trigger put down. k2 desease

[@coaboa5339]

Is this still relevant ?

[@xodius80]

Lol at people that want game balance because of love. Ffs old geasers grow up a bit.

[@xodius80]

*lore

[@ref4nej2]

Weirdly enough, lore is more balanced than all the retarded shit pgi pulls
