Quad RAC 2 Mayhem with the Fafnir - Mechwarrior Online The Daily Dose

[@TemplarianAS]

I run my Fafnir as 3 RAC2, 4 SRM6+Artemis. It's an insane amount of firepower inside around 330 meters, and it actually runs pretty cool depending on how you build it (engine choice, amount of heat sinks vs armor).

[@syys5640]

Range bro.... Switch to mrms at least...

[@clayendfield4850]

2x RAC-5s & 2x AC-2s score higher DPS for significantly lower weight & heat. You do lose a bit of DPS at range, but the AC-2s never jam and have no spool-up time. The Annihilator 2A can run 2x RAC-5s and 4x AC-2 with a LE 300; the MAD 4L can run 2x RAC-5 and 2x AC-2s with ECM, AMS, and a LE 350.

[@mr.whiskers3283]

That's some good information.

[@firesyde424]

I don't know about you all, but I'm enjoying the Rambo reboot.

[@VanBurenPhilips]

8:07 nice change of camera angle :)

[@7zness]

ah man, you had a great shot at that stealth flee at 12:48

[@Nyuuguy]

Either way he totally demolished that poor flea

[@robertschumacher2707]

@@Nyuuguy Yeah, that flea jockey must've instantly gone to brown alert when those RACs started hitting.

[@Jaime-Wolf]

Have you tried thus build with standard heat sinks? You can chew through an atlas at full health or at least almost 2 mediums before you have to stop and cool down without using a cool shot to help achieve the free weight drop to a LE280 go for full mobility since you wont be needing operations. This build works really well on a annihilator too

[@Juanan0]

14:29 that guy was mad because you killed the flea

[@willh8950]

It’s funny... this is a fun build but it’s kinda odd when compared to something like a RACHawk. A ShadowHawk can carry 75% of the fire power (triple RAC2’s), equal ammo, similar cooling, half the armor but double the speed in a smaller target... I guess it comes down to what you really need, but I think I’d take my Hawk over this Faf.

[@mattmcdonald7112]

to be fair thats true of a lot of things, plenty of heavies can take similar firepower to an assault, can run 4 ultras on a night gyr, or 4 on a mad cat for example

[@noahha5972]

haha ignoring the ghost heat altogether is pretty innovative

[@twig4661]

yes, but do it with 4 rac 5's. if you pop the cool shot before you fire, you can get at least 3 seconds before overheating, and about 9-10 before melt down

[@aidanlee7984]

watching that last flea just get obliterated was so satisfying

[@onotinikow]

My Fafnir runs ECM, 2x Rac2, 2x LB-10x AC and 3x ERMLs. The thing is a beast in a direct push.

[@grav4315]

Lol you have this big hug mech with these little itty bitty racs.

[@imglidinhere]

This is why I don't do what everyone else does and damn near completely strip the armor from your back. I leave about 12 points on any assault mech on the back. Helps stave off those glancing blows that often just flat out kill you, Bara. xD

[@rowanyo5031]

That 7 extra points of armor isn’t going to really do a thing for you and would serve much more use in your front. This is just bad gameplay and awful advice. Use your eyes and ears and things will stay out of your back.

[@imglidinhere]

@@rowanyo5031 It does more than you think and in a game like MWO where stuff is more often in your back than not, having a little more than paper protecting your backside helps quite a bit, especially in a SLOW FAT ASSAULT MECH. In a faster heavy or medium? Sure that makes sense. Big, heavy, lumbering, WIDE assault? Add a little more armor to the back.

[@rowanyo5031]

@@imglidinhere Position yourself and you don’t need to worry about a flea, if you’re worried about something BIGGER than a flea than you’re in the wrong spot or your team is dead and a little more back armor isn’t going to help. Things are going to be in front of you for the most part and spending enough to get 12 armor is silly.

[@imglidinhere]

@@rowanyo5031 I've been playing MWO since it launched. You can't simply reposition yourself like that. It mitigates the threat to some extent, but with as often as stealth mech builds show up, that's like saying "to avoid LRM damage, take cover!" Completely ignoring the fact that you're on Polar Highlands. I actively take advantage of heavier mechs that neglect their rear armor. It's saved my internals by adding a little more toughness to my backside and in the case of this video, would have helped.

[@rowanyo5031]

@@imglidinhere Since launch huh? How about you drop that jarls list then

[@irushiro2119]

skip cooldown - skilled cooldwon 14 + 16 :D with a third point it could be complete coolrun

[@raycampbell136]

What mech can run more than two rac 5

[@tyomytch9945]

Ok, Anny done with 4rac2, now fafnir. You still have a Marauder2 to run the same build

[@syys5640]

quad rac 2 is too hot. I run 2 rac5 and 1 rac2. it kicks ass so much!! P.s. i stand corrected, quad racks isn't as hot as i thought. Its manageable.

[@maxshultz6502]

I typically play rac5 and rac2. Switch firing them. Also, play a 2x ac10 2x rac2, super fun dpm/burst damage

[@toobahjon]

Baradul, you should try 3 RAC5 in an Assault. It works rather nicely and the ghost heat is manageable.

[@syys5640]

the heat is unbearable actually, makes it unplayable

[@tkell31]

Seems like too much ammo. Was going to say throw in another heat sink, but realized no room. I would upgrade the targeting computer. Not much of an extra benefit, but better than ammo that will never get used.

[@perry92964]

rac 2 are the most op weapon in the game

[@azrael7922]

Good evenign Baradul. Would you consider doing a troll build? An ANH-2A with 6 LGRs? I used no armor, a 200 engine and about 4 1/2 tons of ammo. Turns into some sort of a rapid fire twin barreled LGR. And to spice it up, try doing 2 head shots. Thanks for your content!

[@Serasphiel]

Meant to buy a Chadoken but grabbed the faf-5. Regretting the buy a little less now

[@mattmcdonald7112]

since i'm here i hate the second match tactic. The assaults spawn in the e line, fight in the e line. Form a line at the base of the ramp and kill them piecemeal as they head to the top, but people still insist on going right and taking the top second, the fact the other team didn't have the top when he got there was pure hesitation by the other team.

[@imichael2411]

I agree. Sometimes I feel that greed over points/kills gets put ahead on the game win. Shame.

[@ccubed7119]

Feed the machine.

[@NeoGuyver81]

Still love ur Shadow Hawk 2H RAC2 x 3 build a year ago. If i want RAC2 mayhem.. i go sortie with thia mech haha

[@syys5640]

sh is better with 1 rac2 + 1 rac 5

[@pbr-streetgang]

Thanks for the vid sir.👍🏼👍🏼

[@dogmeat7582]

Dakka builds are the best

[@jyidorne8042]

Those are rookie RAC2 numbers. You gotta pump up those RAC2 numbers.

[@_ghost1e]

i'd honestly rather do 3rac2 with 1ac2 for way more sustain

[@pbr-streetgang]

Thanks for the vid sir.

[@Baron_von_ztreik]

Alt, hab ich benutz seit es den Mech für CB gibt.

[@32353235e]

Do you have FNR-6U? Quite good arm mounts for quad light gauss, or quad ultras with MPL+LPL combo. I want to see a quad lgauss on 6U video from you

[@ZacHawkins42]

DAKKA FTW!

[@Richy0326]

Lots of dakka
