Bushwacker P-2 builds?

[Enamillion]

Hello, I’ve decided to buy a Bushwacker. I also really enjoy the Panther 10-k(C)

Are there any Builds out there that have a mixture of x2 PPCs

With MRMs? (Or something like MRMS)?

Thanks!!

PPC builds won't work well on Bushwacker due to its very low agility and lack of JJs.

Viable weapons setups for Bushwacker are mostly ballistics focused: 2xLB10+2xSLs, 2xRAC5, 2xUAC5+2xMPL

The closest one to PPC-build is a deadside AC20+SNPPC (which works ok).

There is always a fan-favourite 1xHGauss+4xML (it is slow) and 2xUAC10 (requires XL).

It's possible to use MRM builds (2xMRM30), but one launcher will be arm mounted.

Will the Crab with JJ’s run PPCs well? If so, do you have a build I could take a look at

Bushwacker P2 won't do peeps well, but you can find a similar build dynamic with 2xUAC10 ( https://mech.nav-alpha.com/#9380cc1d_BSW-HR ). That's generally the meta build on dual ballistic variants. Alternatively, utilizing P2's hardpoints, you can try to go for 2xLB10X+2xML.
No serious MRM builds on the BSW. If you want to do MRMs, Trebuchet 7M and Roughneck 1B are decent platforms, the first because of insane missile quirks and the other because of insane survival quirks.

If you want an IS PPC medium, Blackjack 3 is what you're looking for.

You really have to stop switching goal posts. For your own sake, or you will keep burning CBills by the millions without ever getting anywhere.
If you want a highly regarded PPC mech, look at the BJ-3 https://mech.nav-alpha.com/#1b7d469d_BJ-3

The bushwacker thrives with ballistics, big or huge is up to you.

I’ve not spent any c bills. I own a Pirhanna, and a Bushwacker. I’ve been holding a steady 3 mil c bills, and I’m pleased with my mech selections. I’m relatively decent with my weapon loadout on my battlemechs. ^^

I suppose these are just frivolous questions about what is and isn’t good with my favorite types of weapons

Also this was a different topic, so I naturally thought. It needed a new post

For PPC's, Clan Summoner is pretty good. Moves well, has JJ's and decent armor. But i always had fun with a PPC Nova. Nova is not really a top PPC mech, but i liked it.


Maurder or warhammer is another that uses PPC's well. Often people group PPC's+AC5's, It's been a while, so you might wanna check what folks are using for that these days for that combo.. An Executioner is another that runs PPC's well. even though it is basically an over weight heavy, and people like other assaults for pure firepower, the Exe actually is pretty solid with a pair of PPC's and then a 6 ERSL arm for up close it does run a bit hot, but that can be said for all PPC mechs.

Shadow Cat is another great Dual ERPPC mech.. It has speed, and JJ's and makes a very good sniper.


(btw, all the PPC's i listed are all ERPPC's)

for fun on the IS side of things, the K2 is solid for snubs+2MPL's and a pair of machine guns.. it's beast of a mech.


There are a bunch of solid PPC mechs out there, but nearly all run at least a single AC5 or UAC5 these days as those weapons combo well together.

Okay, for my Bushwacker build, I’m thinking of using the AC20 build with x4 MP lasers. Good build? I’m not one to use auto cannons often.

I doubt it. I cannot imagine how you want to cram an AC20, 3 tons of ammo, and 4 medium pulse lasers into a Bushwacker P2.

I mean, the best way i can imagine that to work would be like this:

BSW-P2[mwo.smurfy-net.de]

But it just doesn't have the staying power and will overheat rather quickly. (And its way to slow for a medium, for my taste)

[Enamillion]

I believe that’s the model I was looking at Ishan! Would it overheat too quickly?

So you abandoned your old account where you had a centurion to get a new account where you have a Bushwacker...

I love how this guy is trolling all the mech nerds here.

[cyäegha]

too slow, too hot, IS UAC20 jam chance is crippling and at the range you're operating at with those systems you have too much facetime to wiggle

at that range, you need to be SRM bombing or - if dead set on big ballistics - using AC snub
with your stats, you'd better serve your team using the normal UAC5 / AC10 tusk meta at midrange

[Enamillion]

Yup, I did and I’m not trying to troll anyone. I gave up on the old account.. I need to stop now so I don’t get myself in trouble, or anyone else in trouble Ivanka. ( I made a new account because I realized the mechs I owned were terrible..

(I fixed how I purchase/ save. I keep 2 mil c-bills, and stopped selling my mechs... I’m a mech nerd myself. I just don’t know that much about how to properly play MWO apparently, and I’m covering all grounds)

I disagree with you on that one :)
