Which bot?

I’m currently Silver 1/ Gold 3 and have 4 available robot slots. I’m saving my AU for the 5th, but for right now I need to figure out a good bot to use. Currently I’m piloting a PDB Griffin, a DB Rhino, and a Boa with Zeus and an Ion. The fourth slot is where I get stuck. What bot would go good there? I’ve been using a Kang Dae Fury, but it’s rather boring to play like most snipers. Any other suggestions? I’ve got a Thunder carnage but it doesn’t do very well. Thanks!

Don't give up on the Carnage. Get a couple of Avengers for it or Dragoons and it'll be quite fun. You can also run it with 2 Zeuses. You need a fun bot, and I would suggest Rogatka if you can get it for cheap. Other than that, think about which of the new bots you like and plan your weapon acquisitions around it.
Hover is a ton of fun too, so think about that as well. Mercury is currently one of the most powerful bots, and Pursuer is becoming very very popular too.

In addition to what koalabear has just said, in the short-mid term, you can run an all-zeus fury instead of the mid-ranger boa. it is a great dashbot killer, and overall damage dealer. you can produce additional zeus(es) relatively fast, and it comes at level 5. Your hangar could also use a mid-short ranger energy build; a plasma griffin would assume that role in the short-mid run if you are f2w and short on supplies.

I have a Carnage on my alt account, an ultimate homing missile build, immune to other homing missile, also immune to artillery, DPS slightly higher than Hydra Spectre:  in Silver I it rocks, most of the time ending up in top 3 win or lose with the Carnage survive for the whole game! |

As koalabear said, don't give up on the Carnage. I too recommend you to put a couple of Zueses on your Carnage and make it into a midranger if you're having trouble being in close combat.
The golden rule of playing Carnage in Close Combat is to stick to cover and save your Rushes for escapes or ambushes. Awareness is key as well, but that goes for every build.

Great! Thanks for yall's suggestions, I currently am running my thunder carnage, and it works really well within 150m, and I recently got a Trebuchet, and use that on my Fury as well as a Zues and Nashorn. Works well for me ATM, and once again thanks!
