Hasn't seen action yet, but the theory is Scourges for corner shooting, Thermite for lobbing bombs from behind cover. Still a work in progress.

Still running mine in mid Champions League. Carrier is the best map for this build even though I hate the map. It can camp the whole round and deliver 2+ mill damage (if you don't get over run by Blitz/Ravana/Phantom

I've got about 25 days to go before I get one and I'm looking forward to it.

Currently working on mine (MK2 soon) for my fun/troll hangar; but still waiting on Mr Frost to show up for hire before I field it - and although a name like that almost screams for a cryo setup, I'm a bit more inclined to go full flamer (as I have some already maxed, collecting dust); or I may go with atomiser/nucleon - but am not sure they are worth much investment as they are clearly due a nerf. Gah, decisions, decisions.... Jeb: Do you find that destroyer skill to be worthwhile?

Gah, decisions, decisions.... Jeb : Do you find that destroyer skill to be worthwhile? I guess? I don't know, it came up on a random spin and I thought "I'll keep it," but I wasn't necessarily aiming for it. It's just part of the kill chain, because usually when I land a Blackout shot, I'm immediately on with full guns and so the damage meter isn't showing any one damage more than any other. But I've become a fan of DOT effect (got maxed Stings on a Raven too and Vipers on an Ao Jun) so I'm not looking to change it.

I wish I had a pair for my Raven, to go with the Stings.

When I first built a Cerberus I ran the opposite build: 1 Calamity and 2 Vortexes . Fell in love with Cerberus and really loved the lock-down and juicy missile smack so I finally built a Thermite for this bad boy... Bot is level 1.9 with 1.8 weapons and only Mechanic skill, but I play in Diamond and it works great. I like the quirkiness of this bot and actually the sitting-duck aspect after weapons are fired too. And how blackout and the missiles reload in the same time is perfect. It’s a great bot for holding back reds when they are throwing themselves at a beacon and for a while it was my top damage dealer, until I put a shotgun Strider in rotation. Still Cerberus has become a staple. Almost as fun as Rog in its glory days. Also has Quantum Radar and there’s just enough time to blackout and lob those missiles at stealth bots, even hitting AJs and Nightingales in mid-air.

Been running this since day one with two maxed fortifiers since the range of the guns matched that of the ability. If and when they ever fix the Legendary Pilot’s broken skill I’ll make the switch over to viper/wasps.

Recently built a Cerberus and then got the OP for the new Legendary Pilot and skin. I’ve got it leveled to 1.9 and have been taking it for a run in Masters for about 2 weeks now. Goon squad weapons chosen primarily because the look cool with the new paint job. Also the synergise better with the extended range on the blackout that the Legendary Pilot gives you. I am having a lot of trouble hitting anyone with blackout over 200m though, the delay between pushing the button and the shot, slow bullet speed, fast moving bots, lag make it tough to get full use of 350m let alone 500m. Some peopke are reporting that the Legendary Pilot doesn’t actually give you the extended range, but I’m not expert enough in matters Cerberi (I assume that is the plural of Cerberus) to tell. I am liking the goon squad setup. I’m finding the Cerberus works well in the second line and dies quick if multiple reds can get a bead on you. The hussar hit very hard on corner shooting, and the full firepower sends the reds health bar backwards quickly. Ducking back into cover to reload allows the shield to regenerate. This set up discourages brawling, but with blackout you can brawl for a little bit, which hopefully will be long enough for nearby blues to help out. I have a pair of fortifiers which are currently in use on a Bully, so when I swap the Bully out for something else I will move the fortifiers over. The plan for the pilot is to get crazy electrician and mechanic next. After that skills I lime include road hog, armor expert, and suppressor. I am using a drone with several chips which reduce DR, and that’s made a difference, especially against Titans.

I don't have the legendary pilot but I also don't think the 500m Blackout shot would be functional against anything but a flying Ming, or maybe a Kid across an open field.

It’s taking me a while to get used to the delay between pushing the button the weapon deploying, the shots being fired and the bullets (charges?) going to the target. It definitely isn’t useful against highly mobile targets except at the shortest of ranges. I have had some success tagging AJs, Nightingales and Hawks as they land, because the landing animation locks them in place for a bit. If the 500m range works, it will work against campers, Mings, Nodens, someone standing stilk to cap a beacon, and bots that think you can’t see them hiding. Regular bots moving around normally will be very hard to hit at 500m.

Except it doesn’t even work against flying Mings because beyond 350m blackout refuses to track up or down or left or right, only straight forward into empty space....it’s a joke

Mine hasn't gotten enough loving to show off, literally lv7 and I just throw my fortifiers from bully on there as well as the glacier and cryos that I have decently leveled (7 or 8 I think) when I want to use it. It is a fun bot but I never really liked the glass cannon approach so I rarely use mine. Great bot that can be brutal but I would rather just use what I already got.

Unless you mean that the pilot isn't working for some reason.

I've got about 25 days to go before I get one and I'm looking forward to it. off topic but... what are you gonna use on that nemesis? I recommend pulsars because they work really well with the ability (near the same range, lock people down as it is hard to land hits with the rockets and you have something for every shield type). I also use SB so if there is anything with a shield I always can kill it using the nemesis should I want/need to.
