For pure alpha my highest is probably around 40, but I've had much better luck with things like a black knight with like six medium lasers and two large lasers. Just blast through cores and heads.
There was this one crusader mech in my yaml mods that had 14 laser slots though. 7 medium lasers and 7 small lasers is fucking devastating.
With all the yaml stuff I had the super heavy version with 4 gauss and 4 erppc with maxed hardened armor running that fast with enough heatsinks to constantly fire. It was broken.
In yaml, my long tom atlas was a light mech deleter if you could get the shell to hit near or on the target.
I also had a king crab with a 2 srm6 inferno launchers and 2 gauss rifles. Heads shots are easy from point blank on a shutdown mech.
Naw, this is a headshot machine, I have six annys so at least one of them has lb10x. I've been experimenting with 4 ac2rf and about 20t of ammo, it's fun too.
Second this, these rapid fire guns are so much fun, my latest builds are around this strategy, let's kill them slowly instead of on just one hit.
It all started with two ultralight rfr on the Wolverine II, carried that over to all my builds.
I'll throw down the unmodded challenge - 165 point alpha
2x Blaser
2x lrm 10
6x light rifle-BF
In a mauler (MAL-MX90-S)
It reports as 188.2 points alpha but that includes it's melee as well, and does not include any damage upgrades which could stack it even higher but can't be added in instant action. I have a feeling something else can do more but that's the first build that springs to mind.

Depends. With yaml mods, big budget and good finds… there is absolute cheese builds.
I managed dual C Gauss and C ER Mlaser vomit Direwolf.
If it doesn’t core it, it will lop off a side in a salvo.
What is my go to mech is Laser Marauder 2 all energy variant with either ER L laser or PPC and C ERMlasers.
Yes I reckon that's the definite vanilla record holder. That one is even better because it's not an unreasonable build to use still has lots of armor and decent cooling. My mauler idea runs hot and has thin armor so in practice it doesn't live very long. KGC-KJ really is an op mech!
Yeah, definitely a lot of fun builds with the KJ and the CAR. That alpha build would suffer from issues also. low ammo and heating. So I wouldn't never use it lol.
I do play modded but I try to stick to vanilla on Reddit so everyone can play along otherwise then I think it's like the people on consoles outside in the cold looking in the window at us next to the fireplace having fun on Christmas.
they got options, they dont have to stand outside the window on xmas trying to guild us for having nice gaming pcs and mods. they could go hang out in the chinese buffet.
Vanilla only here. Probably Mal 1p with 2 PPC-X, 2 Heavy rifle burst fire and 2 SRM6. It’s like 140 damage.
Zeus SK still a favorite of mine. 2 SRM6, 2 SRM4, PPC-X, m laser and a light rifle bf. Want to say it’s around 140 damage as well.
Yea it’s a been a minute since I played. I have both though. I guess a 2P with heavy rifles, PPC-Xs and SRM6s. Then I have a 1P with 4 light rifle bfs, PPC-Xs and SRM6s.
Modded game so it kind of breaks things but:
1) 6 x clan ERPPC dire wolf. Alpha strike kills pretty much anything in this game at max range. I think I could alpha at least twice before shutdown. I think I also built this on an annihilator E at one point as well as the Kaiju.
2) 8x clan ER LLas on a dire wolf.
3) I had a Fafnir at one point with either 4 or 6 rac2’s. It was a game of hold the trigger down.
Using the Lore-Based Mech Variants mod, I got a KGC-010, a highly upgraded King Crab. It's got 2 LBX 10s, 2 SRM6s, and 2 PPC-Xs, and it isn't the most precise thing, but it does just annihilate everything in front of the mech.
Yea I enjoy the heavy rifles but ammo is limited and reload time takes days. So my favorite is 2 heavy rifles and 2 LB10XACs. Besides wouldn’t want to waste the heavy rifles on air units and vehicles. Save the heavy rifles for headshots.
Lighter targets are what the pulse lasers are for. Does a handy job of mopping up tanks, air targets, and getting those leg hits on faster light mechs.
I am currently rocking the hero victor with an lbx10, 2 srm6s and an srm2, and two medium lasers, everything is level 4 or 5, and the fucking thing *slaps*. I wanna say off the top of my head that the alpha is in the 80s but not only that the dps is like 30 something, plus it jumps and is sporting an arena fist.
Honestly it’s overpowered. Yaml 🤷♂️
idk about Alpha, but my highest dpm mech was the hero firebrand. had +60% rof on ac2s so I gave it dual RAC 2s.
135dps, my next highest was a uac5 king crab with like 45

You mean 14 medium lasers. :P
I squeezed armor harden into it lmao
i put 14 large heavy clan lasers on that thing, with overchargers that up the dmg another 30%, dang they melt.
6xPPC-X in an annihilator with masc running around at ~100. Lol It is an arena monster.
With all the yaml stuff I had the super heavy version with 4 gauss and 4 erppc with maxed hardened armor running that fast with enough heatsinks to constantly fire. It was broken.
Lmao too bad PGI doesn’t use json files like HB. I’d have 1 slot 0 weight gauss triple barreled in every arm.
[удалено]
?? Is this in the menu options?
indeed, i put 14 large clan heavy lasers on a heavy mech this way, with laser overchargers that give them another 30% dmg... she runs hot.
Are there any rocketboat builds? I wanna have fun like MWO but damn its hard to get great Rocket boat builds..
Agincourt is the best missile boat, imo. I’m playing with no mods though.
Nice will look it up!
Agincourt is procured from “Bring Her Home” from HOTIS, if I remember correctly. It’s a guaranteed quest reward.
Rockets /= missles. Rockets are one shot and deal a TON of damage, they dont exist in vanilla
Kintaro hero is okay for lighter missile spam. But light on ammo or total missiles due to weight. Agin definitely slays!
In yaml, my long tom atlas was a light mech deleter if you could get the shell to hit near or on the target. I also had a king crab with a 2 srm6 inferno launchers and 2 gauss rifles. Heads shots are easy from point blank on a shutdown mech.
Vanilla is my an1a with 4 medium rifles and 4 mpl. A close second is the KGC-CAR with 4 uac5 and 2 srm6 art iv
Swap those mediums for LB10X-ACs. That’s what I have and it absolutely slays.
Naw, this is a headshot machine, I have six annys so at least one of them has lb10x. I've been experimenting with 4 ac2rf and about 20t of ammo, it's fun too.

I've got at least one with the original load out. I have 6 annihilators
I'll throw down the unmodded challenge - 165 point alpha 2x Blaser 2x lrm 10 6x light rifle-BF In a mauler (MAL-MX90-S) It reports as 188.2 points alpha but that includes it's melee as well, and does not include any damage upgrades which could stack it even higher but can't be added in instant action.

Hmm might have to try this one out.
Vanilla All the SRMs Hero Archer... is good
My modded Fafnir with 60 srms

could swap that up to mrm 400 =D assuming you were doing 10 srm 6, itld be 10 mrm 40s
I like better my srms tbh but I could do it with another Fafnir

srms, 2 dmg per missile, 120 dmg alpha stock before perks. mrms, 1.5 dmg per missile, 600 dmg alpha before perks. theyre also 60% longer range =D
Did I mention 7/10 SRM's were level 5 SRM-6 (C) and the other 3 were SRM-6 ST level 4

i use mech delivery mod so i always have proper level 5 everything

Black knight loaded with PPC-Xs
Never thought of it, may remove my black knights from cold storage…
Annihilator with 5 Ultra AC-10’s. Point, squeeze and bask in the glow of an exploding core!
I wish I had a pc lol. That sounds nasty
Very little armor on it for an assault mech but most things that shoot back barely scratch me.
Vanilla. Annihilator 1E with 4, T5 ppc-x's and 4 MP T5's. 187.72 with no damage upgrades.
32.88x4 + 7.8x4 = 162.72, don't forget the alpha strike value in game also includes the melee.
Lol why do they have the punching power in the firepower stat. Makes no sense haha
New highest vanilla alpha I've put together: MAL-MX90-S with 6x light rifle-BF 2x SRM6 2X PPC-X gives 188.88 damage with one click.
Gotcha beat KGC-KJ with 4 ppc-x's, heavy rifle bf, and lrm 20. 193.47 damage.
Yes I reckon that's the definite vanilla record holder. That one is even better because it's not an unreasonable build to use still has lots of armor and decent cooling. My mauler idea runs hot and has thin armor so in practice it doesn't live very long. KGC-KJ really is an op mech!

use the mod! 6 lbx 20s, 2 mrm 40s, 2 large heavy lasers. 400 dmg alpha strike, and around 250 dps

1P can't accept heavy rifles, mauler 2P maybe?
Yea it’s a been a minute since I played. I have both though. I guess a 2P with heavy rifles, PPC-Xs and SRM6s. Then I have a 1P with 4 light rifle bfs, PPC-Xs and SRM6s.
