Missile Rack 6 or some Javs

MR6s can do a decent job on a Killshot. Some maps I prefer them to Javs. Some maps have a ton of overhead cover but long site lines, for example.

I'd get Javs first, but definitely recommend a set of MR6 too.

At 3.7, my RPG6 does 9611 per magazine and 1373 per shot. A 4.1 MR6 does 10,405 per magazine and 2081 per shot. So, in terms of straight up damage, not that much difference. In terms of upgradeability, in almost 3 months of playing, I've gotten tons of blueprints for the RPG6 and only 71 of the MR6. Then, there's the in play usage. I don't have the MR6, but I use the MR8 at lot, and in my opinion, I only need one weapon that does the whole alpha strike thing in my hangar (well technically 2 cause the Javs do alpha strike too), so, I don't need or want the MR6.

MR series pros - alpha strike does incredible DPS, and alternating firing will maximize your damage potential. The sound FX is also amazing. Splash is pretty big and gets bigger as you rank up. I've gotten the multi kill several times cause I fired into a clump of reds.

MR series cons - 2s longer to reload than the RPG6, and a miss will mean an entire magazine gone to crap. Projectile speed is also a bit slower so trying to hit fast mech running is a PITA. Some Juggs' shield will shrug off a single salvo of the MR8, which means I'm wasting my second salvo to take off the sliver of shield and will only do minimal damage to the mech. I've also had some high level Lancers survive after alternating fire of my MR8s. I think it's in part pilot skill, speed and overall toughness of the Lancer.

RPG6 pros - alternative firing gives you a fantastic POW POW staccato and is really good against fast mechs as you can adjust your aim while firing and still get decent hits to land. Projectile speed gets a bit faster with each rank. Semi-auto fire means you can take your thumb off the fire button once your target gets into cover or dies and still have a couple of shots to throw at a Jugg's shield or a crippled target. The RPG6 also has decent range and I've killed mechs that I could barely see because I fired while they were either slowed down, or moving straight at me and didn't see me firing. Also has the fastest reload between RPG6, Jav6 and MR6.

RPG6 cons - overall average reload means you have to be smart about your engagements. Every shot missed is a lot of potential damage wasted. Splash doesn't seem to be as good as MR series, and bullet magnetism makes it hard to shoot at targets in shallow cover.

Oh, and since I forgot the subject on the thread in my rambling...skip the MR6 and get the Jav6. It will pay dividends galore in Tournament (not so much in CPC on some maps).

MR6’s I find to be just ok. Jav 6’s in the other hand are all that. I recently ranked up my KS to R4, but kept the javs on it anyway because they’re just that good. I’ll probably slap on MR8’s in the heavily covered tourney maps, but otherwise the javs are staying for the foreseeable future. I’ve been flipping between MR6’s and RG6’s on Juggy, mostly for challenges, snd I’m thinking I might actually like the RPG’s a little better. Not completely sure yet. But if I had to do it over again, I’d probably pass on the MR6’s because there are plenty of good alternatives for EN12 mechs.

yea, on the previous day's tourney map, I switched my Jav 6 on KS to MR6 b/c there was lots of overhead cover. But otherwise, Jav6 on KS.
