The hero Mauler 'Knockout' got buffed in this last patch, so we make it work, but what is the best setup for this mech in MechWarrior Online currently?

I love the Knockout. I wasn't a fan of it before but after sorta mastering the Maulers I decided to give it a try and I built a Scorch-like build on my Knockout and it's really good. :) But I'm a Mauler fanboy so I'm probably going to be inclined to like the mech. About the arms, they're good at shielding once you get used to it. BUT I got used to them really well because it was the trial assault when I was starting to play the game. So I did my first 1000 damage in a Quad UAC 5 build on an MX 90 and I've been in love with the chassis ever since. But again, I'm odd. I acknowledge that.

Hell, my favorite mech is the Hollander and Hollander IIC, which sadly arent in the game yet, But those are some weird mechs, and i love em. other than that, I main a 5 ermed urbie with ecm and a lotta speed, Cranked out a 1200 damage game in that lil urbie. Had the adrenaline shakes for like ten minutes after that game.

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

@@blchfnby nice job.

[@SparrowNoire]

I see Mauler, I picture it stomping on Smoke Jaguar losers, I click like.

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

I just go back to MW2 campaign ending where it gets murdered by a mad dog

[@MrDedomino]

Smoke Jaguar sucks!

[@foamyesque]

Could put CASE in the arms.

[@davevan9150]

I'm going to try binary+missle build with those quirks.

[@Anarchistbanana]

Well... I've run my Mauler MX90 for ages with an XL engine just so I can run four AC5's and two AC2's.. 'lD And I love it! It's the mech where I got my ace of spades in. ; )

[@TallDude73]

Cake? An interesting choice. ;)

[@sammydavis5628]

Well wall sniping seems to work just fine when you're really good at shooting. (I'm not really good at shooting!)

[@surnbe]

Tried to get us a MX90 based Legendary mech... exchange the missile and energy locations, ammo quirk, structure buffs, and maybe ecm or a supercharger... but it was shot down and this mech was cited

[@ragnarbaron6090]

It’s better but it needs ct armor quirk at least, honestly prolly side torso quirks

[@foamyesque]

T A E K always drives the exact same King Crab, and it's always XL. One of the easiest kills in the game once you recognize it.

[@BrokenCurtain]

Wouldn't it make sense to put CASE in the arms?

[@BrandonVelarde]

It's been a while but I don't think Inner Sphere CASE can go in the arms.

[@foamyesque]

@@BrandonVelardeCan't in TT -- you need CASE II for that --, but you can in MWO, same as how MWO CASE is zero-tonnage.

[@BrandonVelarde]

@@foamyesqueGotcha, thanks. I even played MWO for a long time and didn't recall that.

[@user-eb1zv6sr9e]

Ouch 66 long range

[@Foxstab]

Cheese Cake, Phil. You're full of cheese.

[@indignantlamentation6307]

If Hydraulic Fluid is good for tank, is good for hands.

[@FunkThompson]

I would think you would want like RAC/5 or LBX-10's + ER Mediums on this, then a bigger, standard engine. That said, I am not Sean Lang, so... :D

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

The issue is this mech is so squishy and easy to core out or blow torsos off. I just don’t think it’s a good brawler. Look at the scorch vs this…

[@FunkThompson]

@@NoGutsNoGalaxySure, and again I'm probably over-focused on the quirks.

[@igorbukovy4313]

What GPU do U have?

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

2080 8gb. Works fine for MWO, but I gotta turn everything to low with Helldivers 2.

[@igorbukovy4313]

@@NoGutsNoGalaxy Ah. I just hope that my 1080 will handle new MW game. What is your plan, which GPU do U want to buy?

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

MW5 Clans is also coming out this year, using UE5, want to have all the glory!

[@igorbukovy4313]

@@NoGutsNoGalaxy Yeah I understand that.

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

Top of my list is. 4080 super or 4070 ti super!

[@RobPollen]

get a job and buy your own overpriced GPU

[@kearseymorton2078]

are you saying streaming a 12 year old game 20 hours a week for 50 people is not a job???

[@NoGutsNoGalaxy]

Thanks dad, I’ll get right on that!

[@exparrow777]

What a lovely person you are.

[@LoneHunta]

'member when you could buy an entire gaming capable PC for under the price of one of today's midrange GPUs...
