Night Gyr

[Sacrementi Vitae]

İs the night gyr a good heavy mech to buy? I plan to buy the discount model but i m not sure about buying it.It has good firepower and excellent cooling power thanks to its numerous heat sinks.Although high profile and slow speed are problamatic.Any suggestions?

[Desperado]

Yes, very good mech...also it has omnipods, which make it flexible to change what weapons it can carry.

It has a high profile, but it also has jump jets...together with its high shoulder mounted weapons makes shooting over top of obstacles (or over the heads of your team mates) very easy

thanks for suggestion!

It is considered a suboptimal choice compared to meta Ebon Jaguar and Hellbringer.

In the aftermath of poptart-meta the mech was over-nerfed mobility-wise and nowadays it handles like an assault mech. So it is slow moving and slow to react to pilot actions.

I can't say it is a terrible mech but it is not a fan-favourite for sure.

The Night Gyr is sluggish thanks to the huge nerf it got because of the PPC/Gauss meta of old as tutzdes said.
However, it can carry a massive amount of weaponry, half its weight at 37.5 tons. This combined with the JJ's make it a decent mech in spite of its sluggishness.

I run mine with 6 UAC2's and 7.5 tons ammo. It's a lot of fun.

I use 2x LB10 and 2x LB2 on mine. Works for me.

Gyr is short for gyrfalcon, so it is pronounced jer (like the first three letters in "Jericho").

Nightgyr handles a lot like a low tonnage assault, but omnipods, jumpjets, high shoulder mounts and laser heatsinks allow for a few interesting builds.

My personal favourite is 2 c-ERPPC & 2 c-UAC/5. You can poptart or burst at your leisure equally effectively in Boreal and Terra Therma.
