I use Orkans and Magnums. As mentioned the Rhino is no good in open ground, Tulus/tridents/pins even aphids will rip you apart, that's assuming you have your shield up. To me the Rhino is best used to get quickly to a hiding spot and defending. So use of weapons that can hit hard at short ranges where it's very hard to dodge, like the Orkan/Pinata are excellent choices. The Rhino can rush under cover which is where it beats the Griffin (Grffin exposes itself when jumping). ^^^This!!!

Thank you everyone for your input it is greatly appreciated What did you end up going with? I tried PDB .... Not bad...If the rhino could step in and out of cover with the shield a little quicker Id like it more. I tried DB....Great for targeting a specific threat or 2 , rushing I'm and killing them fast but then I felt defenseless. I ended up going back to hellfire (orks/mags) when I use my Rhino....Seems to fit me best. I use it to spearhead the front and push the bad guys back and holding the newly gained ground as long as possible hoping my team will press...Often works well depending on the squad. I have been swapping him out for a stuka Griffin (aphids/orks) and am really digging that build.

I'm actually back on the DB set up for one game in gold 3. seems to work alittle better than hellfire. I have aphids, but they are still at lvl 5. I'm hoping to level them at some point when i get the rest of my hangar to a 9. I love the Rhino, but it is very situational. Although, I had more luck taking down two bots at once with db in shenzhen, but that was only one game. Looking forward to replacing him with a lancelot soon.

Definitely, a bot that does what it does well (Break up the party!). As I am progressing through Gold and chasing Diamond I am finding it harder to justify dedicating a hanger slot to such a situational option. No disrespect to the Rhino! Me and my Hellfire Rhino "The Rhymnocerous" have raised our fair share of "Hellfire" up to this point. Favorite Rhino Move: Clearing out the center on Yamatu, charging halfway down the ramp, dropping off the side and digging in underneath the ramp!

Crazy you were able to make it work for so long. I'm counting the days down to replace it. Which sucks, I've seen legend members who use a db rhino. Maybe We'll be able to bring them out to play later on in the game.

8 is where I found it felt too squishy once I started running into a lot of Lance and Fury. Not agile enough to dodge the tridents

Going to 9 for the speed boost makes sense if your going to use it for a week or two

I would say it's worth the investment then, focus on upgrading the medium weapons instead of the small if you don't have an intended home for them once you swap the Rhino out for the Lance... I'll see if I can find any more examples of fancy Rhymnocerous break dancing for you

I'll see if I can find any more examples of fancy Rhymnocerous break dancing for you Truth be told, my mags are at 7's, I stopped after that as I don't care for them that much. I have 6 pinatas on it as a db set up. And my orks are at 8. I could easily get them to 9, as i'll try out the ork ancile set up first with the lance. And videos are fun! I fully enjoy watching and learning...
