Salute to my fellow pilots! New to this forum and fairly new to the game. Picked it up a few months back. I'm not entirely F2P, but have only cashed out for a couple of the $1/$2 silver offers. Looking for some ideas and suggestions for my current hangar. Of notable weapons I have 2 Zeus, 1 Ancile, 2 Orkans, 4 Gekkos, and 2 Magnums collecting dust. Surplus mechs include 1 Natasha, 1 Fury, 1 Carnage, 2 Griffins, 1 Stalker, and 2 Gareth. Worth mentioning is that I have not leveled weapons or mechs a lot. I have focused on acquisition and will slowly start to upgrade stuff now that the workshop will significantly slow down my process. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance to everyone that chips in!  |

Zeus Fury, pretty potent even at low levels. You could run a Zeus Carnage until you have 3 for the Fury, just to get used to them, or keep it going if you like it.
No Tarans? A Taran Magnum Griffin is a pretty good brawler. I suppose you could team the Magnums up with the Orkans, might be interesting considering they just buffed the Magnum and nerfed the Orkan.
Stalker? Gust Stalker all the way. Again, you could run Magnums while waiting for Gusts. I think that was the most popular before the Gusts were introduce, and they just nerfed those as well.
Natasha? You have Gekkos, so if you can get 2 Trebs, it makes for a pretty good sniper. I run a Trident/Pin setup that is a pretty good mid-ranger. Eventually I will have an Avenger/Shredder combo, but working on the Shredders.
Gareth? Again you didn't mention Tarans, the Taran/Magnum was my favorite setup.
Rotate your setup often until you figure out what works best for you. And don't forget to have fun.

I found the Zeus/Gekko combo on the Natasha very effective. Oryou could put the Ancile and the Zeuses on the Fury to get a feel for it.

I would go with:
Gust Stalker, level the gusts and work on an eventual Pursuer to replace.
Zeus Carnage, work on a 3rd Zeus and switch to Zeus Fury.
Keep the Plasma Griff for now.
Put Orkans and piñatas on a Griff.
Throw in a 3rd Griff with Tulumbas and Pins.
But play what you like, and level the good weapons for eventual better bots.

Rotate your setup often until you figure out what works best for you. And don't forget to have fun. Thanks for you feedback! I just mentioned some leftover weapons besides my current builds. I do have a plasma Griffin and will continue to use it. It holds my 2 Taran and 2 of my 5 Magnums. Considering switching Punishers on the second Griffin for Orkan+Pinata. I like to keep my beacon capper "hostile" and able to deal damage/make kills. I guess it would not make sense to switch Orkan Rog for a Gust Stalker then? I do have two Tridents lying around - are they viable? I might try the Trident/Pin Natty you mention. So far my Avenger/Punisher Natty has been doing very well. I will soon have my first Shredder, but don't expect to get the second one any time soon. Gareth would be in the same slot as either Rog or Stalker, right? As a beacon capper? I think I would only run one of those. I play too aggresively to have them survive and put out a decent amount of damage. |

I will definitely get my Zeus' online. Be it on one of those two setups you mention or on Carnage, I'm not sure. Just got the Carnage so think I would try it out there - unless it could hold other weapons with equal success. Any experience with 2xAvenger / 2xThunder Carnage? |

As I just wrote in another reply, I'm not sure which beacon capper to run. I really like how Orkan Rog has performed for me, and I'm afraid Gust Stalker will feel underwhelming to me. Any thoughts on this? I think I will indeed try Zeus Carnage out - you got experience with other viable Carnage setups? Plasma Griffin is staying for sure. I like my lead hose Griffin, but will consider going Orkan/Pinata on it. I would to keep at least one or more Natty/Leo/Fury in my setup as they can take a bit more of a beating then if I run 3x Griffins, 1x Carnage and a beacon capper. Otherwise I think I expire my robots too fast. I play too aggresively, hehe. Any thought on decent Leo/Natty builds using my armory? |

Replace that Natasha Leadhoss with a carnage Avenger.
I get a lot of rampage and godlike with level 5 avengers ( your level ) on my lvl 8 carnage in high diamond.
Gust Stalker if you like it better than Leo, both are good.
Keep the Rog.
Keep the PLasma Griff
A DB Griff could be better than a punisher Griff.
Use what you enjoy ?

I think I would only run one of those. I play too aggresively to have them survive and put out a decent amount of damage. Sorry, you were under quarantine so long yesterday I had to log out and go home. I couldn't see your hanger pics, my work laptop blocks certain things.
Griffs: Try the DB setup Orkan/Pinata, but don't be afraid to try the RDB mid-range version with Tulus/Pins.
The Trident was supposed to receive a buff, but hasn't yet, that I know of. There was just an update. I have 4 of them and struggled to find a home for them, but the Trident/Pin Natty is a great support bot. Reds back off from 500m to avoid the Pins, but get hammered by the Tridents if they think they're safe and stay within 600m. It's a fun build.
I've never had a Rogata, so I can't give any comparisons there, but I do recommend trying a Gust Stalker, then eventually Pursuer. It's a fun little build. The Plasma Gary held the second slot on my BR team for quite some time, nearly as fast as the Stalker and a physical shield that blocks energy weapons. I quit running him when Orkans took over the game, just couldn't hold up. He got replaced with a Hover, which, when used right, can cross a map pretty fast. It just received a buff too.

Carnage works great with Zeus or with Avengers. It's not nearly as good as it used to be with Thunders, but it can still work okay. I'd go with one of the other setups first.
Gust Stalker can rock worlds pretty well, and cap beacons, but it's more of an ambush bot than an aggressor (true of most cappers, though)
