Bot is 2.12 and the weapons are L9. I used to run this with 2.12 Taran and Magnum...basically when the Titans hit the scene, it was curtains for Gareth.

Looking bad 「bum-bum」!
Show of hands, who remembers when Gary was the best bot in the game?

Fun little bot, I ran Galahad & Gary for quite a while. I remember the evil of Pix and the Shield bypass “bug” of the SpecTrain, but still ran em. Then that sideways running bug hit and I pulled Gary, all too easy to hit that exploit without trying.

I ran Gary last month. Still good fun. Fast as and that shield is great in these days of lots of Laser/Sparky weapons. I think I surprised a few reds.
Wasp/Magnetar was my build of choice. Annoyance Death from a comfortable distance.

BB to the white courtesy phone. I remember about 2 years ago, I was purging all the old dinosaur bots from my hangar in a fit of housecleaning (I donât like scrolling thru dozens of bots). My 4 beloved Geps, 3 Griffs, 2 Leoâs, 2 Galahadâs...gone. I had 2 lev 12 Gareths on the chopping block, went back and forth, decided to keep them for ONE REASON. They are FUN as 「fluffernutter」 to drive...period. Yes, they quickly melt in a barrage of rockets, Iâm quite aware of this, thatâs why I outfit them with 600m troll weapons; scourges, pulsars, and now hornets and magnetrons. I play in Master leagues where there are still plenty of opportunities to shine with leveled up legacy gear if you play smart. Just yesterday on Canyon, some expert level noobcake in his mid leveled Godbot decided that heâd had enough of me peppering him from behind a mesa, so he sauntered on over to me with his frankenbuild (no rockets thankfully) without a care in the world, and found out the hard way how strong a boosted up MK2 shield can be. 12.12 pulsar and magnetron helped out too. The end, ty for coming.

Gary was done when DASH meta took over I dont agree with that because I ran mine long after that.
I ran my gareth until the purple panty trains made all his fancy footwork and shield cycling moot.
Until Ares my garys speed and skill at strafing was an advantage against a majority of the bots until that point. Well for me anyway. I used to run him with maxed molots which still are really underestimated by so many. But in a fight at 500m or closer they can bring home the bacon while on the move sideways.
Then when they added mods and pilots gary and a lot of other bots got dookied on. But the extra features he can have make him even more interesting and capable in the hands of a smart player.
Ive seen some in champs that made me think what the hell is this guy doing here until realizing they are wrecking house more than it makes sense. Ive run my own maxed- pilot with 3 skills.... seeing some guys running them maxed with maxed pilots and skills with all the maxed bells and whistles? I have to admit feeling a little funny like i let myself down for not believing he was worth it. And Im not about to put him in the lineup and do it now...
So i have to live vicariously though those who are running glorious Gareths lol... no not done when dash meta came. no lol

Lance was the op god back then as I recall lol That was the last of “balanced” God bots; when there were still trade offs between speed, strength, agility and firepower. Lance was wicked strong but was slow to rotate, as a heavy lumbering tank build should be. I still remember my first discovery moment (Shenzhen, open side beacon) that you could get inside the Ancile bubble. I did the circle dance of death with a staggered shooting GePunisher and took the beacon from that clumsy beast.

When I got butthurt about the Ares I ran a legacy Ares hunter hangar to make a new game of hunting Ares since Ares ruined my war robots game at the time. The little Gary did good and ran after many back peddling Ares.

My favorite Gareth memories were hanging out at the bottom of the ramp in Yamantau (it was a map, look it up) and lobbing 1.9 Vortexes up and over the ramps at incoming Reds. Fun. "Hey! Catch this!"

My favorite was early in my War Robots history realizing that I could consistently cap two beacons on Moon off the break before most of the plodders behind me could get to home. That first beacon always flipped right as I reached the far edge of it, so I never had to pause.

Gareth doing that is lovely.
One should at least get a ptsd ahead warning like the flashing lights ppl do when bringing up that bloody pest. lol
edit: sorry. after reading that over i realize im thinking about the persuer lmfbo but the stalker was pretty nasty too

I had to learn to face ares and not be scared of the bubble lol

Stalkers are fun too. Ran one as an Ares hunter for a while too. Its a thrill trying to run at a meta bot with a literal light bot with only 8 seconds to work with.

Who got really good at running around backwards with the shield facing the direction of incoming Disco Gekko beams and Treb one shotters?
I found it was Tri Furies were the Gary and G-Had killer. Those Tridents were nasty.
