Without sniper guns?
I’m kicking around trying a Jaeger with Thunders (because they’re cheap to level). Anyone have any pointers (besides “don’t do it, stupid”)?

It’s bugged. I get stuck in the ground.

Poopface: "Don't do i..." Oh, you asked us not to, sorry. TBH, I have seen some limited YT videos with non-sniper Jaegers. I think you'd be better off with a 1.9 Typhon than a 1.9 Jaeger. True?

I'm just looking to try something that's a bit tankier (and on a budget) that won't be a crack 「loose lady」. Sure, I could try a Fenrir with Bad Santa (don't have the OG pilot, unfortunately) but everyone does that.

Nothing says it with love better than Jaeger/Zenit? Jaeger/Chimera? Jaeger/Trident might be a real hoot! |

Perhaps later. I was looking for something a bit tankier. The idea of wandering around as bait for Scorpions where I could ruin their day with two barrels of Thunder lovin seemed appealing to me.

I’d try thunder bulwark if you’re looking for something different yet tanky. I don’t think the jaeger is that something |

Jaeger is definitely meant to fill one role, I tried Thunders for the same reason(voice of the person whose best weapons were won) but it didn't work out so great. I recommend Zeus(have never tried Trident or Zenit(definitely want to now) if you're fine with lock-on weapons, but I wouldn't get closer than that. Trebuchets are amazing(1.7 everything now) because of the built in.
My say doesn't really matter though. You do what you're happy with.

Maybe this will inspire you. If you're looking for an economy (but effective) non-sniper build, I would think Avengers would be better than Thunder.

So are you saying you have a Jaeger and you're deciding whether to put some resources in it?
I would think a Raijin would be more suitable as a stompwagon. 30% damage boost when in Bastion mode would be nice, especially if you've got the right weapons (I think Avalanches or Incinerators would be hilarious).

I have two Jaegers. One has +10% health and the other has a +5% paint job. I also have the Alex Winter pilot.
I don't want to use Raijin because I don't like the immobility that comes with it. That's a huge reason my Weyland sucks despite pouring resources into it to try to make it successful including leveling two pilots (first a regular, then a legendary to unlock the T4 skills) .
I'm not opposed to trying out the Bulwark option as ʂɬɛɛƖ suggested, but I have the Jaeger + pilot and want to try another method of swimming upstream. I figured this is as good an idea as any. |

Cool, then just start experimenting, I guess. I'd probably still keep some range on it, maybe with Hornets or something, but it's about what weapons you have. |

Probably the prudent thing, but Hornets aren't cheap to level and this is another of my oddball ideas to test out. Probably won't work well either, like the Weyland. |

I'm not opposed to trying out the Bulwark option as ʂɬɛɛƖ suggested, but I have the Jaeger + pilot and want to try another method of swimming upstream. I figured this is as good an idea as any. I have lot of tanks. Weyland is maxed out Mk2 12 with normal level 60 pilot. You really need to pair it with nebula drone and add defensive chips. I have falcon, Fenrir both not high enough for champs but still fun to use in small doses. My Tyr and bulwark are Mk2 but not maxed. Also got a Jaeger but unleveled. All tanks need a lot of resources to be useful. Modules, pilots, drones, everything. Jaeger brawler would be similar to Bulwark but a weaker tank. Don’t spawn near all the reds unless there is a lot of cover. I take out reds one by one, recharge my shield between fights. But jaeger is so slow with shield on, so crossing small gaps will be more dangerous. But it’s a spider so I can see redeemers and quickly dashing in and out of cover I mean it should work. the extra weapon has 100% defense mitigation. More damage, but it’s not a Fenrir or typhon. Feels like it’s a tanky sniper like when the bulwark dragoon first came out, but you can force it to be a brawler if you have to. Like if a red is charging you, or you get a small map where a sniper would be useless. if you want weapons that can brawl and support, then go with avengers, nucleon, or even vipers. If you’re gonna be spending more time sniping, then hornets. |

If you put one Zenit only on one side, you can turn it into a Hermit Crab. You know how they have that one big crab arm and the small one? Yeah. I don’t think many will get the joke as they kill you. |

I have a measure of success with mine using Hornets and Lockdown Ammo…….I can say Hornets we’re made for this bot. Support the team, don’t eat the bacon.
