To be candid, I always need more silver especially since all guns are now 10 and higher and It takes ~18M move a gun from 11 to 12.
I had aspirations to create one or two bot setups that could collect most all the damage needed while the other quicker bots in my hanger could get the beacons we needed. My hopes was to collect average silver from 800k to 1M, every battle. So here is what I did. I took two single Malots and two MkII Malots and leveled them all at 12 thinking that I would harvest all the damage I needed at a safe midrange+. I have to admit, running level 12 Malots from either my Rhino or Grif is great barrel burning gratification, watching an unwary enemy step out from cover at 600m and just..... DIE!  But the plan was flawed. The Malot rigs only work best on big open maps where I can unload on someone before they can get to cover.
My real money maker bots are Rhinos all around leveled at 10 with Orkans and Magnums. These are the guys that work just about everywhere to bring home the money as they get the damage "and" the beacons. The dual Orks are a "death button" for anything point blank. Another is my Gala leveled up to 10 with Aphids and a Taran. I don't know why, really, but for some reason I claim a lot more silver when I open with that rig.

I don't think the rig or weapon type matters for silver acquisition per say - just that total damage number, and the amount of kills and beacons taken. That said, nothing gives me damage in hunks like a level 10 Thunder Carnage running loose in Dead City or powerplant.

Beacons aren't worth that much. You only get 7500 silver per beacon.

My A/O Griffin racks up a ton of damage fast. The PDB Griff can amass lots of damage. But usually I know these bots are gonna get damage fast and die, any one of my other bots could survive the whole battle. So bringing in the Griffs early helps my damage total.

There are just some games where it goes off. I've had some good moments in the new Shenzen when I've taken a corner at speed and found slow, fat midrangers there just ripe for the picking. |

Thunder carny on deadcity. Plenty of cover and ambush spots. My stalker also gets me some Ag from beacons as well as Au too.

Trident Fury gets you reliable damage and silver. Not too reliable about the AU amounts or win rates either.

When the Carnage is good it's great. Once I was able to take out 3 heavies and 1 light with one thunder carnage--all close to full health. Other times, he (or I, more appropriately) die even before firing a shot. So I'm not sure it qualifies as the main money maker though but certainly is one of the most fun. Right now, with the predominance of anciles and mid-range carnages, I'd say a loadout with plasma nets the most damage. |

 Zues Carnage. This was a 5minute game on Schenzen. Got 5 gold for most damage and got to keep all my silver since the reds never got past my ancile (notice the 0 repair cost). If this game would of went on longer I might of got 300k Ag with a minimal repair cost. Loving this bot/build. Same. What level bot and weps are you? |

Pilots get a bit cocky with them. I've seen them run right up to the nose of a Lance(Thunder/Tarans) and it never seems to end well. |

Zeus Carnage can put out some hurt. I ran almost an entire match on Yama yesterday with mine (11/11) and finished with 700K+ damage. Given the right map and enemy movement, Thunder Carnage can deal damage too. Eventually I wanna get my second Carnage to 11 and have the option to run both Zeus Carnage and Thunder Carnage in my starting lineup. They're one of the most fun bots to drive, that's for sure.

If this game would of went on longer I might of got 300k Ag with a minimal repair cost. Loving this bot/build. loving mine as well.. I usually spawn it 3rd or 4th bot, depending on beacons we have. Have yet to play a full game with this bot only. The awesome thing about this set up, is that its a midrange support bot. It can still cap beacons... oh, and I have a lvl 9 carnage with lvl 8 zeus' a lvl 8 carnage with lvl 8 thunders. both builds i adore |

Zeus Carn, Thunder Carn, Thunder Ork Lance, Leo Thunder Puns or Pinatas (believe it or not), and Stuka Griff, are always my best damage dealers. Lately, I've been playing the PuniGriffon and getting at least 3 big kills with it (Leos, Raijins, Natty, and Fury)... if I can keep that average or bring it up, then I will put it on the list, as well. Levels average 8/9.

Im trying to keep my damage up right now leveling to 10's.
I rotate a level 7 Leo / 8 Carnage (L9 Tri) / 9 Rhino in 5th slot.
My best ave damage is with the Leo with Mag/Thunder.
There are enough bots running Anciles or Carnys it just rips!
But I have Fury Fever - $4800 Au Almost there!!
I have Level 7,9,10 Tridents waiting to mount, might get the 3rd to 8 before my purchase, can waitttttttt!

I don't agree with dark angel on much but, I will say he's correct on that. The trident fury when played correctly can probably yield some of the most damage in a slow burning game (meaning, your team is holding three beacons steadily) than just about any other rig I've played. I have broken the 1m mark twice on Shenzhen with my 11/12 rig.

I try to make sure all my bots are worth their keep if I am going to keep using them. I do switch up my line-up often to keep things fun and fresh, but I consider all the bots viable. But if I am running my "serious" hanger, then it would include a Plasma Galahad, Trident Fury, and DB Griffin. Right now, I am having a lot of fun driving the Carnage Thunder. I try to find someone to follow like a Rhino, Leo, or Lancelot. I've killed 4 full health reds in a span of 20-30 seconds, so this build can seriously up your silver in a matter of seconds.

But the plan was flawed. The Malot rigs only work best on big open maps where I can unload on someone before they can get to cover.
