Hello! I was looking to improve my hangar.. I'm currently saving for a 5th slot and a Rhino, but I was wondering if I could swap out my Carnage for something that would fit in better.. Here it is.. Attachment DeletedThanks in advance |

The carnage is going to be the most flexible midranger available to you. Keep it.
The only problem with this hanger is the level imbalance/the fact that this is a less than ideal place to park things.
Get that Plasmahad up to 6/8, ditto for the carnage. Then move the Griffs up to 6/8 and the Plasmahad/Carnage up to 7/9 (or be crazy like me and go 6/10, but that's *probably* suboptimal).
You're right about your 5th slot- you need it.
Lastly, remember that the matchmaking system is about to get updated so you'll probably have to reconfigure all of your plans down the line- except for the 5th slot. That's always the way to go.

Malevolent, we have a similar hangars!! My current hangar: Attachment DeletedPriorities: *Slots > Weps > Bots *Weps - lvl to 8 *Bots - level Galahad to 7 wont change MM w lvl 6 heavys Next, Why do you want to swap out Carnage? I ask because, the Rhino can be very effective for KFing & beacons. It is VERY challenging to use effectively, the learning curve is very steep! If you are effective with Carnage, you can do well with Rhino. Corners/Open space will make/break Rhino. If Carnage is challenging, Rhino will not be easier to pilot. I actually to a break from Rhino because I was getting so frustrated - ran a 3rd Griffin & still do w Tulu/Pins for variety. If you like the Carnage, lvl to 7 next, I also run w 2 Tridents - dual purpose bot. I am right now looking for my next bot, Lancelot maybe? But see a lot of Aphids, looking for advice on my own thread. |

You're using the Galahad as beacon runner, right?

I will echo that a rhino is a tough bot to use.
Various people mention this. The shield is a speed boost. Think of it as that only. You still have to use cover, choose your targets and keep away from the wrong opponents.
That being said. I love making a run for the far beacon in springfield with a rhino.

The shield is a speed boost when you are above 30K health. Then it becomes a shield to lag out your enemies |

If I am in that situation then it is usually time to eject. |

If I am in that situation then it is usually time to eject. Unless you are in dead city or powerplant, I wouldn't a Rhino as first bot. You are going to get hit by trebs and kangs. Paying solo, I always use my midranger first in Springfield, Yamateau, Shenzen and canyon. In powerplant, DB Griffins are best there and DB Rhinos rule dead city. I play in high silver |

I'd argue that a power runner is always the ideal start, unless you're some sort of Cossack artist. |

For starters level up that Galalhad and Carnage to 6 and get all your wepaons to 7, that way your hanger will be pretty bot to bot balanced and will boost your relative strength. And probably won't be messed with too much with the incoming Match Maker changes.
Otherwise, it is a super solid setup so far. I'm not too keen on the full Plasma Griffin anymore, but it has a place and hammers unshielded bots that you'll be facing in the lower tiers pretty hard.
