Best sniping mech and loadout?

As above :)

Depends on a few things. In the beginning none until you have the pilot to use it honestly. Then the blackjack with dual ac2 (longest range weapon currently in game easily replaceable that is) which is what it was made for long range with movement to be very hard to hit back. If you want a combo you could get a sensor locking mech with and lrm boat sitting long range out of danger. That’s about it really until some weapons are available more readily and another mech (jaeger) gets introduced.

King Crab with dual gauss rifles and as many LRMs as weight allows, at a guess.

I have a centurion with a AC5 and an LRM 20 ++ (25% crit and +1 stab). I'll let you know how it goes as it's 14 days in refit for that :D.

i have a jagermech with 2PPCs etc not too bad can fire about 4 times before overheat.

mostly use LRMs for long range 2 lrm 15s and an lrm 10 on a centurion is not half bad

Jagermech with 2 AC2 + AC5 + random laser (all possibly with bonus dam).....with Targeted shot it can oneshot many mech CT.

This mech set-up + Pilot (and her skills) is able to easily oneshot heavy mechs ( with precision shot to the head) without overheating trouble
I have did not have met any assault bots yet tho

Congrats on

a) necro'ing a 4+ year old thread to add no new insights.

b) here is a very old guide https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1974545043 giving you more insight

c) wasting a perfect Mar-3R with 3 ballistic hardpoints that could sport 3x UAC2++ instead AND could be fully armored,too, plus JJs

d) not using the discussion forums built-in search function.

e) owning a MAR, the best headshot sniping Mech a tactics 8+ pilot can have! Tactics is the key skill, not gunnery, at least for head hunting.

f) keeping Glitch alive.



Playing with a MAR with mere 48 arm armor points is... brave, for sure. How often do you have to repair/replace your limbs?
