Thats tier 1 if that means anything, which it shouldn't as its still as scrappy and bone headed as tier 5 ever was. My damage record was 1200 something, largely semi isolated from the main group, moving from cover to cover picking off stragglers on tourmaline. Pick your way carefully and methodically through the battle and you can knock down mech after mech after mech. The regular D variant atlas has the highest side torso armour in the game along with the typical atlas giant shield arms. the most brutal light mech variant in the game, but the JR7-IIC-A sees a good deal of.
2 volleys of 112 damage and you're target is either dead or utterly boned. A quick-start mech buying guide to getting into competitive MWO. Which light mech is the best for sniping with laser Dont want to play on med\heavy mechs. Thats 112 damage that doesn't even get you over 50% of your heat limit. In my atlas build you can double tap the ultra ac20 from the right torso, fire 2 medium pulse lasers from the centre torso and 2 mrm30s from the left torso all at once. Don't worry it unjams itself automatically. The weapon can jam up after making it unusable for a few seconds. No no its still a single ac20, but the ultra autocannons let you 'double tap' 2 quick successive shots from the weapon well inside the normal reload/cycle time.
