Which heavy Mech?
So, you want a Mech with oomph, but don’t want to go all the way up to the assault class? Read on, to discover a healthy selection of heavies…
5. Archer Tempest
The Archer Tempest’s double MRM40s pack a mean punch in this build. This Mech is dependent on ammo but makes up for that with its cool playstyle. A twin volley of medium-range missiles will inspire awe in even the most ardent enemies!

- An insane amount of 80 damage
- Good medium ranger

Nine medium pulse lasers make for a laser boat with a lot of firepower. Split your fire groups up between arms and torso, to avoid overheating, and let the rays fly.

- Balanced Mech
- Good firepower
- Not dependent on ammo
Black Knight build info:
Start at: 0:43
3. Catapult Jester
While the Jester’s armaments, with six medium pulse lasers, are nothing to really brag about, with a speed of up to 94 kph it is one of the fastest heavy Mechs around. This makes it ideal for hit-and-run attacks!
