Popular MRM builds?

[gunner]

Hi guys, just wondering what are popular MRM builds?

I am wondering if Medium Mechs should deploy MRMs?

Appreciate your input, thanks.

My top: 1) 2xMRM30 Quickdraw IV-4 2) MRM30+MRM20 Wolverine (7D, 7K, 6R) 3) 2xMRM40 Catapult C4.

These mechs are good for supression and facemelt foes up close. JJs allow effective poptarting to minimize exposure while dealing damage to enemies who think they are safe.

Any IS Assault with dual MRM30... i guess. As well as the tripple MRM20 bushwacker. That are the only ones that come to mind right now.

Why shouldn't they? Same caveat as usual applies. SRM are superior to MRMs, by tonnage, except with range. If you have the necessary hardpoints go SRMs, if you do not have the hard points go MRM.

Best quickdraw iv 4 mrm 20 and mrm 40

Others

Cicada X5 mrm 40
Ares mrm 40 and a bunch of ml
Atlas Kraken mrm and ac20
St Ives blues mrm 60
Urban mech r68 mrm 30 and 3 so


Mrms are great, over 500m range and they just get better the closer you are. Srms are great too but you need more missile hardpoints. Let's say you have 1 missile hardpoint an mrm 40 is gonna be a good choice over an srm 6.

I've been getting some pretty good results out of a Hunchback 4J with a MRM40 and 4 Medium Lasers. Strip the arms for additional tonnage, install LFE 270 and you'll fit 4.5 tons of ammo - more than enough for a match.

Trebuchet 7M can be built as a poor man's IV4, Vindicator 1X and 1AA are basically slower but more durable (and slightly harder hitting) cousins to the Hunchback build above . I also run MRMs on my Griffin 5M as my main ranged weapon for the build.

One of my Griffin 2Ns I run an MRM30 and MRM20 with ECM and a couple JJs that is fun.
Quickdraw IV4 is probably the best pure MRM boat as stated above.

2x 40 mrm quickdraw with jump jets. you can poptart and its tanky. try to get the hero version.

If you do mrm 40 and mrm 20 instead of 2x mrm 30 you have an extra tonne to work with.

[Himars-TT]

My MRM Build: Cyclops, MRM 40 + MRM 20, Gauss Rifle, 2 ER Mediums. Great damage for anything within MRM range, Gauss gives you longrange (if you can hit it) and ER Mediums are heat neutral and can be used without worry.

I would do dual mrm30 as there is no ghost heat with that.

yeah its mrm 30s not the 40s

Do a 40 and a 20 and take an extra tonne of ammo

[Ishan451]

A 40 and a 20 also generates ghost heat. MRM40 gets ghost heat with any other MRM or SRM, with exception of the SRM2, launcher.

You can do a MRM40 + 6 SRM2s.... or you use Streak SRMs... a MRM40 and 2 SSRM6s. But that also comes out to 64/65 damage... so you might as well put 2 MRM30s in there for their 60 damage.

The ghost heat just isn't an issue though tbh

Like this is optimal

pure missile archer is pretty fun, take two MRM 40s then the rest fill up with rocket launchers. Chain-fire the rocket launchers, wait for an assault, say hello yeet meme.
