Attachment DeletedYea man. Those 15k WSP were burning a hole in my pocket. And as usual, the second I hit the buy button, I have a panic attack and buyer's remorse. Heh heh heh. Didn't know what the Weapons du jour were, so I went with what I enjoy and am comfortable with. Y'all gorgeous gals have any tips or condemnations on this fine specimen, I'm all ears.

I was going to say you recoup the entire cost of the bot in the weapons it comes with lol. There's a thread somewhere with a video showing a hydra/mag rhino. It looks like a pretty useful setup when used correctly.

That remorse will really sink in after you start piloting it. It will take a while to get used to piloting this.
This is my rhino, its hobbies are getting caught on the edges of obstacles and getting pummeled by every missile bot on the map.

When I got mine I was reading the owners manually and it said, 'learn to pilot in 3 easy steps' 1) Just go straight forward, reverse is for wimpy bots 2) You dont need to see what is in front of the shield, just destroy it!! 3) You dont need to turn, see rule #1 for clarification Now you are now expert ENJOY!! Because RHINO!!!! I would say use the weapons you are most comfortable with. You will have enough to think about figuring out where you want to be on the battlefield compared to you surroundings. I would definitely watch videos on successfully piloting the Rhino. It takes some getting used to. I prefer the Hellfire set up, but I am out of Orkans, so I run it full plasma or Aphid/Plasma. My .02

definitely a learning curve, but i think aphids are the best lights you can put on it if you don't have high level pinatas for that half of the death button. being able to remain locked on when not directly facing someone is invaluable for the rhino lol
run the same setup as you, but it's temporary while i level my 2nd orcan up. level 5/6/7 orcans are pretty 「dookie」 and you'll take too much damage in the time you have your shield down to unload them
that hydra idea is interesting. i have about 8k wsp right now. Was thinking of getting a fujin and going tri tulumbas
i've actually had good luck with tulumbas on my rhino, the range is perfect for dropping shield and staying out of harms way then recovering for the long reload. really need to level up my tulumbas's

Might actually make the list of "strange robots out there". Why would you mix ranges, and use a weapon that is only good for long range with a robot that has a strength in charging and front protection? Mind you, you can't use the shield with the Hydras... Hydra Fujin or Hydra Spiral Griffin, now we're talking.

Tulus work much better on a Griffin (with Pins), that can jump from cover to cover while delivering its load.

DirtyLikaRat® congrats man. Might want to consider ork's and Piñatas. Just for a change up. And baby you got to practice with the beast and learn to dance with it. Hope you enjoy.

The most important thing you have to learn about the Rhino is not to go point blank combat with it.

I was little worried by the slow top end on speed. Im usually a knife fighter. So a little... meh.. But I think it could turn out to be a good tactical bot if I can learn to drive him

You might get upset sometimes. You carefully plan your way, then suddenly a Natasha steps in your way. It stands there, sniping and waiting. And all you can do, is yell at your tablet...

I know, what you mean, but I meant Shenzhen... If a Galahad backing away from Orkans gets in your way, don't push him. And if you're on DC and a Galahad backs up into you, he's probably backing away from Orkans.

Yea man!!! Took the ole Rhino for a test drive. This dude is gonna be pretty sweet. Im starting to figure my gameplan out already. I'm using the shield/assault mode in two ways. One method I use is for sprinting. Raise the shield and get to stepping. L I'm not sure of the exact percentage of speed increase, but its significant. I double time it with shield up, then if I'm not engaged in a scuffle, I drop shileds when I reach my destination. The other way I use it is the obvious defense tactic of raising the shield when I'm in a major firefight. Or double or triple teamed by Red. And I use a similar approach to that of the Wild Bunch's quick draw. Raising and lowering during the firefight, to open up those light weapons that are inaccessible when shield is up. Yea man, he's a worker.. Total 「deteriorated bum-bum」. Bug he still hasn't earned his name yet... Well see

+66%, I think. But your turning rate gets close to useless.

It's a 100% speed increase. Correct. Just confirmed it at the wiki. 3s cooldown.

Hydra Fujin or Hydra Spiral Griffin, now we're talking. Find/watch the video. It allows you to have your shield up for 10 seconds, then down for 3 seconds, then back up. Tarans and many other short range mediums have a long unload time. So to actually use the weapons, you can't really use the shield effectively. And you need direct line of sight to use the weapons, leaving you exposed. With Hydras, you can use cover while your front is exposed and you're unloading Hydras. Then put the shield back, and use your mags to suppress for 10 seconds and then back to cover to unload Hydras again. Trust me I thought it was stupid until I saw it in action. Then I thought maybe genius??

I enjoy alternative builds when running solo, and who knows... my dusty ole Rhino may get a new lease on life! (I'm highly doubtful, however...lol)

I saw multiple hydra-equipped Rhinos last night. Seems to be catching on. I would also suggest Aphids with Hydra could be quite effective, due to the auto-target of the Aphids while the shield is up.
I very much enjoy the Rhino. My main learning is that you don't do any serious fighting with the shield up. The shield is a movement booster, provides protection while you are reloading and allows you to lay down some suppression fire while snug against a wall or other complementary cover. There are times when you need to charge in to point blank with the shield up (e.g. to get inside someone's energy shield to deliver an alpha strike), but most combat should be at range where it isn't as easy to get flanked in the event you do need to raise the shield.

Alpha strike...wow that is so MW old school. I prefer the Taran/Mag setup because it gives you better range. For a DB a Griffin is still king.
