Beacon capping is extremely important in beacon rush. As soon as a beacon is captured, slow robots can spawn there to attack other beacons and defend.
These are the best cappers in my opinion in light, medium and heavy classes.
Light: Stalker Pinatas
Medium: Rogatka Orkans
Heavy: Rhino PDB or DB
Stalker is often criticised for not being able to defend a beacon. In beacon rush, As soon as it is captured, allied forces can immediately defend it from threats.

Kumiho on places like Shenzhen, Hover on places like Powerplant, imo. Another point: Kumiho is less vulnerable to snipers.
F2P best capper is probably Rog. Jumping speed should cover the extra speed Stalker has.

DB Rhino is almost always my #1 bot out of the gate. Good for one or two caps and usually at least one dead red. Though once in awhile on Power Plant I might start with my Orkan Rog, in case I'm the one grabbing that lower level beacon, the jumper gives me more ways out of the hole.
But I also see a lot of mag Stalkers doing the opening beacon runs, if nor Kumihos and Haechis.

Dash bots are basically impossible for f2p players.
They need components which are hard to get.
Spinning the wheel or choosing an unknown reward always gives silver, then !! 7 !! components.
IT'S RIGGED

Jumping speed should cover the extra speed Stalker has. You'd think so, but the two second delay when you hit the ground actually makes you lose distance when you otherwise could have just sprinted at a consistent 60 km. |

The best it can do is make you wait 6 seconds before you tear it apart. In the current meta light bots simply do not work unless you are in the bottom leagues. The only reason to use a stalker is because you don't have anything else and even then, should only be using it for event cap tasks. As for you comment about how allies can drop, you are only talking about beacons that are in no way contested which is not what a beacon runner is for, if it can't take SF centre or Yama centre lighting fast, it's not a beacon runner. |

In beacon rush, As soon as it is captured, allied forces can immediately defend it from threats. Stalker is definitely #1 for light bot simply because it is the faster bot without using any ability, and the stealth mode will allow it to cap the beacon if there are snipers targeting it. I agree with Rhino for the heavy bot as well, but for the medium bot, orkan kumiho is the best beacon capper. Not only is the orkan kumiho the best medium capper, it is THE best capper in the entire game in my honest opinion because it is the fastest bot with the low cooldown on the dash ability. I got it from the event and I use orkans on it and ever since I got it past lvl.8, I've never lost to a beacon battle in a 1v1 from pdb/db rhino, rog, stalker, db/pdb griffin, gareth, or a galahad. Because mine lvl.11 with lvl.11 orkans, I've been able to kill a stalker coming for my beacon, as well as a db or pdb rhino that's right behind the stalker and still survive with a good amount of hp to bring an incoming DB griffin down to half hp or even kill it. Usually when I die, it is because the opponent is using a higher level kumiho with better weapons or I have multiple enemies firing at me. I can kill ancilots in many cases by dashing and hugging it inside ancile and then fire orkans, then dash back into cover to reload and repeat. This will be more than enough to stall so my team can get there. Even if your light bot can get to the beacon and cap it first, if you can't hold it until your team arrives, then that was pointless because no one on your team is going to switch out a full hp bot just to spawn at the center at the start of the game. If it's BR, I use kumiho first, if it's dom I use it last. |

I think he was comparing the best cappers for each class. It can be good in the hands of a skilled pilot and it has it decently leveled - Check out Manni's vid on youtube for his stalker gameplay. One of my clan mates did 400k with a pinata stalker in champion league. I was in the same match, but he was on the opponent side and he was annoying as shet making use of buildings and stealth with his max mk2 pinatas. Stalker probably works better in dom as a last resort for beacons to turn the tide over because there won't be many targeting you and you got the speed advantage. If it's BR, I just wait until his stealth is over and my orkan kumiho kills it in 3 seconds. |
