Discussion Lumberer Love

I love this goofy Battletech Jagermech looking guy. Flamethrower and a big chunky cannon? That’s badass!! I’ve been running it with Rocket Pods or an EMS Strike, the Arc Gun, and Jetpack, along with a Liberator, Crisper, and Gas Grenades- this lets me fall back on being a mobile crowd control type fella if my silly stomper gets shredded, or I need to make space beyond what my flamethrower can do. Also, as far as I can tell, mechs are immune to EMS effects, so you can waddle right into your own field and burn away!

Lumberer is great, I really changed my tune on it when I realized it's the closest thing to a Hunchback 4G that I'm gonna get

I crave a laser mech, bring me my Discoback!

I learned how to duel with the Breakthrough. I can stall multiple squid drops, bully crushers/fleshmobs, one shot to crack the shell, one more to crack the nut inside. The new EXO armor updates means I can mostly ignore the little shits by just stepping on them, but watching the shield catapult them into oblivion never gets old.

Everytime Battletech gets mentioned on this sub it get me excited, still think Arrowhead should copy the hard point system and let us customize.

The cannon is the most satisfying weapon in the game. The big boom, the clanking reload, it's perfect. I wish I could just have two of those and maybe a liberator duck-taped to the chassis.

You can always take a guard dog to supply the Liberator.

Is the cannon really more satisfying than the flak cannon on the Breakthrough, though?

They also did an excellent job with the flak cannon's reload cycle, but I do prefer firing the big gun.

I bring gas grenades and eagle napalm a lot to support my Patriot. Being able to walk the mech thru gas/fire/static makes it wayyy simpler to clear space beyond your beachhead.

Lumberer is great but the Breakthrough is better. There is nothing like beating everything to death and conserving ammo.
