Yeah, it’s a beast, but not 3M. Very questionable math skills and it’s 60% DR not 66%. I thought he was going for a defensive drone setup and maybe some defender skills which could intermittently get you into the 2.5M range. I’ll just keep him locked down and chip away with my real, honest-to-God JUMPING HelFire Falcon that recently did 3.5M, bruhahahaha. Oh and then there’s that Nodens. Where’s your 3M HP now? I don't know about 3M damage, but I threw down 10 bacons in Ember/jump unit tFalc the other day, not that Manni would be interested. Better to run it early, but make that Noodle blue, and I'll be in my bunk. |

Anyone try a 3x Hel Falcon? I’m finishing a 2nd to 2.1 today and will take a 3rd to 1.9 for testing this week. Backed by a Suppression/Paralysis Drone, I’m hoping it can be a nice Faffy counter. I tried it with 2.4 in the center and 1.5ish on the wings. The mechanic works well, but not enough to justify upgrading 2 more Hels. |

I’ve gone too far to turn back now, so I’ll give it a try with 3.1, 2.1 and 1.9. I think I’m going to prefer the versatility of the HelFire build, which is great vs Shells, Revs and Titans. Also the Incinerators really charge up the NA to 80% pretty quick. |

Oh, and Cormac is now piloting the Hel-Fire which will be a nice boost to that build. Got the components for the Hel, Will this be a suitable replacement for the Viper (centre slot).... I'm guessing it will be. What level before it's gets some red attention? Does the Nuclear Amplifier work well with these, sorry for so many questions.... #lovemyvipers |

Does the Nuclear Amplifier work well with these, sorry for so many questions.... #lovemyvipers Because I won a Hel early, I went all in quickly - maximize fun before a nerf (which have been rare lately, but that’s another story). I think it’s a good combo w Viper build for the same reason as Incinerators - freeze em/slow em down for better hit rate with the other 2 weapons. It helps to have a Freeze chip drone in support. I generally don’t even try out new stuff until 1.9 and I think Hel is worth a 2.4 investment (ymmv of course). By itself, it’s not a huge NA charger, and I haven’t tested NA w Vipers. I still run the 3x Viper build, but it’s been moved to my 400m+ hangar. |

 I've been working on this build and it has become my arthur/shell killer. I might replace the heavy armor kit for last stand though |

Just scored a 3rd Prisma. If I run out of brawler projects, maybe… Unload/reload works decent with the cooldown, no bottleneck where full charged waiting for ability.  |

Don’t do it Rollo as it’s not your style , I’m seeing Prisma on S level players using that weapon at maximum range . Darn good players being reduced to camping style playing simply to point and shoot for kills and damage. I’ve left TDM due to recent such play , I’ve a screenshot of darn good Hood players simply dropping out of range combining this weapon to annihilate others trying to play close quarters fighting.

Yeah, soooo many other projects stand in front of a dedicated LR build. I think Basil Tempest Falcon will cover it for the foreseeable future, and those things can almost brawl in a pinch. |

Decided to stretch Falcon's wings for the 500+m task, stylish and effective.  Don't think it's gonna be an everyday build for me, but I've been gimping it a bit by trying to stay outside of 500, I'll def give it a try for more normal play. |

Rollo Tomasi Whoa, stuff just got real... Tres Punchers! Rollo, heads-up on this guy. He deletes BoB/GT500 in 2 seconds... Good fun. I’m working on a Puncher 2x Avalanche set up, and do have 3 Punchers (3.1, 2.4, 1.1) to try out in the future. |

Have you tried Puncher build yet? If not, you should! Running 2x NA and Overdrive unit…..rocks, much funner than Erebus.  |

I’m gonna go steal my Punchers from their scattered positions (HB, Rev, something else…) and give this another spin. In other news, I’m giving FlameBoi Petite a try in a full rotisserie build. It might only be viable on Moon and Factory as brawler Falcons REALLY need access to cover these days. BU, NucAmp and the rarely-used-these-days Last Stand. RH, ArmorExp and Mechanic  |

Recently I upgraded my middle Viper to MK3 with the other 2 Vipers at 2.4
I wondered how it would fare? Well some dude in a Minos, decided he'd give it a go, after a charge he got ouched and rethink. He was about 400m out and then hide behind a building on Springfield.
The centre slot with 10% additional damage and other pilot skills help stack that damage.

Short version: I’m building an All Falcon Hanger and will update with reviews of different builds.
Feel free to ask questions and share your own experiences. Cheers Longer version: My 4th Falcon comes out of WS in a couple days and it’s time to dedicate some forum bytes to one of my favorite bots. I scored some extra gold in the BungOw lottery and splurged on Cormac. He will eventually pilot the hanger’s lone Glory T-Falcon (aka GTFO) which will be 12Mk2, 5% skinned w a maxed AC and regular AKs. The heavy brawler will be 5Mk2 w 3x 12Mk2 Avengers (nerf be damned), AC and Last Stand. I’m not sure if I will take the others past lvl 9Mk1, but maybe. With some pending upgrades, the initial build options include: All Viper (3x 9Mk1) Glory/ or Ember/Glacier (9Mk1 / 2x 1Mk2) All Trident (1x 12mk2 and 2x 1Mk2) All Tempest (1x 9Mk1 2x 12Mk2) If I like the build, I’ll work on getting Basil I also have Redeemers, Zeus, and ‘Goons to try out, but will probably not make the final cut. the falcon is an old bot, so it wont be anywhere within a mile radius of meta. you will have to play your cards, and play em {fluffernutting} good. i recommend for a falcon x3 vipers, candy vipers if you can get them. corrosion stacks with the hit damage from your gun if you keep holding fire, so if you upgrade enough, your falcon will claw anything to bits. |

You don’t see a lot of Vipers out there because you actually have to aim them yourself, lol. |

What’s old is new again. 2x BU & NA, Trixie has the usual suspects and, of course, Sharpshooter. I’m starting to get the hang is this BotEnder.  In other news, I’m trying my 1 Decay in center of my otherwise Midea Viper Falcon. So far, that fast reload give it more action time. Damn, right after I finally maxed an Ardent Viper. |

Just thinking out loud (just to myself probably) about another monthlong Return of the Five Falcons (again w no Traditionalist), but what to build…..
Here’s a likely mix:
Hammertime w/ Trixie
Viper w/ Medea
Puncher w/ Cormac
Incinerator w/ Peregrin
Tempest w/ Basil
Other 3-weapons build options include:
Hornet w/Medea
Prisma w/ Basil
Ember w/ Petite
Avalanche
And the LOL group - Hel, Tridents, Avenger, Thunder
I’ll probably have a floating variable build for occasional CQC excitement, so 1x and 2x Options for mixed builds:
Devastator, Glacier, Redeemer, Bane, Decay and Glory

I linked up my Mender with a traditionalist Falcon a couple of days ago and just followed it around wandering from beacon to beacon, healing away. We lasted a good while but eventually the Falcon went down and I wasn't far behind.

BOTH can work well if used correctly. Current Perigrine build for me is 4x Incinerator Behemoth, hardly anyone is running Perigrine on that build. I delete whirly birds of any feather that come within 500m and any slow moving titans, armored or not. |

My Hammers are making the rounds on other builds, so I’m giving this a good try. I’m still using Trixie and and my remaining HealMod-Enabled Drone a Persephone. The full HammerTime build is more versatile, but this is a pretty fun CQC option.  |
