Try running him as a RDB

RDB Rhino is a good starter build. Helps learn the driving mechanics but keeps you out of the fray.
Most important tip with a Rhino - it’s not a tank, fight from the flanks vs charging right in.

I've got Punishers and Punishers T on him as I dont really have anything to purchase RDBs for now - still trying to get used to the running thing and stopping to shoot

Oh man. I miss the gold old days. Rhinos  So awesome in the right hands. OP - Rhino is all about awareness, you need to know exactly where everything is around you, and know when it's time to use that speed and that shield. In the current meta, I'd be using him in situations where the enemy is packing plasma, especially midrange and I'd run him RDB. You could learn to be a serious pest on long maps with patience and practise. |

Indeed, it's now rare to see the rhino on any map in this current meta. However your punishers need to be leveled as high as possible, there's a lot of spread for those bad boys at 500m. Incoming Hydra's you can rotate the torso and activate the shield, rotate first..... Otherwise your gonna eat those impossibly windy little 「illegitimate child」s. People love shooting at Rhino's. Plenty of practice for sure.

Rhino is the toughest bot to master, but so 「deteriorated bum-bum」 if you do! DB is the best loadout imo, puns or RDB works until you get the orks. And if you learn to drive a dB rhino, youâll destroy peeps once you transition your orks onto a haechi later.

I have one at lvl 8 now, run it with Pinata/Orkan [lvl 6] and it is a beast but dies to other rockets easily. Shotgun build is really good too. Maneuvering it is a pain at first. Practice. . . Foggy Gaming has a few videos of him running just Rhinos, helpful stuff CLICK HERE to see it. |

When I used to drive a Rhino, I just treated it like a big Mack truck! RDB was great because you could stay out of range of DB's and run from cover to cover and just be annoying.

Rhino is one of the few Bots where mixed weapons can work...Light weapons to soften the target/strip Anciles while the shield is up, Mediums to give'em hell. I like the thought of sustained-fire Lights and strong Burst-fire Mediums.
Molots/Tulus
Punishers/Orkans
Gusts/Orkans
Magnums/Tarans
Magnums/Scourges

now im having trouble maneuvering the darn thing LOL - hope i can level him up - he's Level 4 now! and i got no weapons for him just punishers its so hard to get ahead in this game! I run Punisher Rhino for a long time in FBGR Champs last fall (ended up at level 10/10 IIRC, which I believe is Expertish upgrade level on Android). It was a great build for me. The Punishers pack a punch up close (and Rhino is pretty good at getting up close), while still allowing enough range to tackle short range rocket builds. Just remember, Rhino is one of the bots which benefit most from taking it to level 9 for max speed. Also, since the Rhino speed buf about a year ago, Rhino is not as unforgiving as it used to be, you can actually drop the "anchor" (AKA lower the shield) and still retreat in a sensible time, and also you can steer decently with shield up, once you get the hang of it in different maps. Hellfire Rhino (Orkans and Magnums) used to be my favorite Rhino build back in the time before Dash bots and other current nonsense, but I think today it will not work too well once you start seeing too many Spectres and Inquisitors and Dashes (which is probably in Bronze, with all the tankers?). |

Since this thread I've reinstated Punisher Rhino into the line-up. Dropped at the right time, usually mid game, it's been a hoot. Okay I'm only Diamond 2 but I love seeing those ancile shields drop, especially on the Haechi, sometimes I've managed to knock a couple off. I'd only got the Punishers and Punishers T to Level 9, but maybe I'll keep going who knows. Cheers and thanks for the memories. |

So awesome in the right hands.
