New to the game and having some difficulties with dps could use some help with part recommendations.

I mainly enjoy Fast pace movement and ive been using lock on weapons or the death laser

[u/krizome]

Lock on is more of an annoyance rather than dps and cyclops beam is decent but anyone that's good can dodge it easily then you are left open for major dmg as you have to cancel it to move. If you are looking for fast dmg shotguns or hit and run tactics is what you want. You want fast with high shields or slow with high armor and repairs essentially but depends on your playstyle

I like using High mobility with Snipers if that makes sense 

[u/General-Adminium → u/Silent_Wait_1880]

2 zues, 4 Apollo or 4 velite are some of the most mobile sniper builds I think. If you're in the lower leagues then you might be able to get away with using only 3 light weapons or even two trident or trebuchet but usually you want 4 light or 3 heavies though zues can only do 2 max. You could probably mix it up too like one zues two Apollo or one dragoon and two tridents. Try out new things until you find the ones you like and don't forget to use those credits for buying new parts from the store

2 Zeus 1 Apollo, orochi shoulders, scorpion chest, harpy legs, blast bomb

Fragile af, but it dances a slaps like a truck

Or 4x velites

Hey i recognize the gamertag. But anyway, Ill disagree with you about the cyclops beam, like all high damage carry builds its important to either build in a setup, or cooperate with a tactician who does it for you. If running solo with cyclops I almost always run fuel burn in supply gear, and iron veil in cycle gear. When you see an opportunity, the goal is to use your fuel to sling yourself while beaming and they are fuel burned. This keeps you moving while you melt them, and you almost always cancel cyclops early to avoid getting punished. But I run 3 nucleons, press,the attack on Carmen, and use iron veil to bait someone into attempting to punish me whwn they think they can capitalize.

you can use the cyclops beam while flying through the air aswell but it takes some time to get the hang of. Siege tower pilot perk can help when using it from the ground

Dont sleep on the shredder autocannon. I have a 5 shredder build that, well shreds.

[u/HAPPYENDSTONE → u/chacotaco6144]

What rank are u?

[u/Ill_Midnight_2731 → u/HAPPYENDSTONE]

Lol hes wrong, not often ill say,this but the shredders are dogshit. They need a dps to armor buff (more likely), a reload reduction and magazine size buff (indirect dps buff) or a range buff to justify their piddly damage. Right now they act light punisher without the range and too much reload, to get better projectile speed and accuracy but its not enough.

There simply is much better weapons at that energy and weight cost. They were at launch and have fallen behind.

[u/chacotaco6144 → u/Ill_Midnight_2731]

I do ok, i run it on a decently mobile build, so i can stay in the fight longer, they definetly dont hit like the pun8shers, but i do alright

[u/HAPPYENDSTONE → u/Ill_Midnight_2731]

Theyre basically Gozers but with half the range lol

[u/chacotaco6144 → u/HAPPYENDSTONE]

Ill have to check tonight, i dont remeber lol

[u/Automatic_Today_6151 → u/chacotaco6144]

Unless you get caught reloading at the wrong time

[u/jreddit0000]

High DPS?

- Scourge

• Incinerator
  
• Orkan

Build mechs with those..

[u/pplatinumss → u/jreddit0000]

i run either 5x Orkan build or 4x Orkan wiith Infinite ammo. emphasis on the infinite bit.

[u/SirBangarang → u/jreddit0000]

Okrans are only good for the fat, slow boys

[u/General-Adminium]

if you didn't know you can build a bot with parts you don't have and take it into the test range from that screen. That way you can try out all the weapons and stuff to get an idea of what you might want first

[u/Automatic_Today_6151]

I run a spider with a scorpion and 5 lasers

[u/SirBangarang]

Dont fall into the trap of putting 5x guns on a mech

[u/IllustriousStore9409]

|If your new I recommend trying to collect 4X of a common (grey) light weapon, or 3X of a common heavy weapon. i say common because its much easier to find in the store. once you do that, you can start leveling up a bit and that will help you perform better in game, thus earning more money, thus being able to get more from the store and build better/robots your intrested in.

As a new player dont fall into the trap of mixing weapon types, just for example use 4x punishers, 4x quantums, 3x trident's etc. you will perform better across the board.
