Does anyone have the stats on a DL12 right out of the box? Of course I will eventually level it up, but you can bet that Blueprints will be few and far between....so it may take a while

Of course I will eventually level it up, but you can bet that Blueprints will be few and far between....so it may take a while Just look at the stats when the offer for DL12 comes up. Individual disc damage and clip damage are shown along with damage area, reload speed, optimal damage range, and total damage range.

You got the DL12??? Lucky! Nope, just going to start saving for one. If it is solid from square 1 then i have plans for it. It will definitely be a while before i can clone it.

*************** So what do we all think the 12 will go for once they drop it into our progress bar? Fingers crossed around 800,000 credits.

If the Prototype-Weapon pricing remains consistent, it should be around 750,000 credits. Like the DL8s, which mirrored the pricing of CB8 but sold for credits instead of ACs.

Because I have no patience, I finally got my 8’s. Spun a bunch of vaults and got the crapload of credits I needed. Haven’t played a game with em yet. Now I gotta figure out what to do with my MR8’s. Put in a much lower-leveled Zephyr to replace a fairly well leveled Juggy with CB10’s? Or replace a fairly well leveled Lancer with the Zep? Or just leave it like it is for now?

Is your Lancer close to maxing? Maybe put the DL8 on it? Or do a hybrid DL8/JR6 on it. I did that on Shadow for a while and it worked pretty well on maps like the Air Ship Carrier where it can be hard to hit reds with JR when they are at centre beacon.

Put in a much lower-leveled Zephyr to replace a fairly well leveled Juggy with CB10’s? Or replace a fairly well leveled Lancer with the Zep? Or just leave it like it is for now? Depends on how much lower Zep is and your playstyle. His health is pretty atrocious. Not Surge dirt low but still pretty squishy. With that said, if you have the patience to set up encounters and camp spots, it would be a fun change of pace from your usual game. BUT I wont necessarily bring him out just bec I had MR8s lying around. I imagine those dont kill as quick in the higher levels. If you had dual Arc10s, that would be something else entirely. And you can also try a DL8/JR6 like Koalabear said. Im currently trying out DL12+JR6 on my KS and its pretty fun. Very different playstyle though from when I had Arc10/MR8 on him. I imagine you would also see the difference with the DL8s coming from MR8s. And and and did I mention with the staggered reload speed, you'd (almost) always be shooting.

Though the DL12's on KS are really fun too (and very effective)

I imagine you would also see the difference with the DL8s coming from MR8s. And and and did I mention with the staggered reload speed, you'd (almost) always be shooting. Good info here from all, as usual. But I think ima leave things as they are, at least for now. I’m not very good with mixed weapons, so I’d prefer to keep ‘em on one mech as much as possible. Juggy is still too good of a tank with a pair of CB10’s to take out of the lineup, and there’s nothing else I want to take out to make room for the Zep at the moment. I’ll level up the DL8’s as much as bp’s allow, then save up resources for DL12, then copy that and split the 8’s and 12’s between Juggy and Killy down the road (way, way down the road). So far after just a couple of games, I think I’m liking the DL’s. Still figuring out exactly how they work - sometimes they look like they bend much farther away than the 60m lock-in range. But they do pack a decent punch for right out of the box. I can almost see them on a maxed out Lancer ….

Thinking of putting the DL 12 on my KS as well when they put it on the progress path..... after I get the resources. Not sure yet. Really fun and a good damn build. If it looks like MR 12s aren’t going to come after all, they will be my permanent Killy choice. In preparation for the MRs, though, I am trying them on the Ares now and they are just as effective… but in a different capacity. scape211 nailed it when he said that Prototype weapons may not be the best at any one thing, but they are damn sure versatile. You won’t be disappointed if you give DL 12 KS a try… just take the time to get the hang of it. They take a bit of practice to get down (well… they did for me, anyway), but they allow for some good ‘round the corner’ shots and have great AoE. When mixed with dashes that work, it’s a full package. Also, I am practicing on hitting beyond the lock range. It’s tricky, but that AoE is so good that I am making it a point to get it figured out. Early on in matches on maps when Reds group up together in chokepoints, but are too far away to lock on to, this can help a LOT. Either by getting a couple of early kills at the same time, or knocking down very large chunks of health from multiple Reds, it can help decide the game’s end from the first 10 seconds.

My KS is at 6-3, so i got time before i need to clone the DL12 when i get it. Big question is what to pair it with till It makes it to 24 Energy? Javs are on Cheetah Carb12 wont fit.....both are on Panther anyway, and AT 10s and MR8s are split up on Zephyr and ARES

DL8s if you have them. If none, two options:
1) I'd lift the MR8 from Ares and slap it on KS. Ares can stand being in the heat of battle better so he can do with the PC8s.
2) Take the MR8 from Zeph and do Arc10+Arc6 combo. You will be sacrificing mid-range and burst damage. But overall clip damage should be at par.
IMHO

I can confirm that a DL12 and MR8 Killshot works very well. It has usurped my CB12 Panther as my most valuable bot.

If it’s upgraded… RPG 6 is another option, dukeofadvil… synergy should be very good with DL. Most folk don’t have them leveled up enough to use, though, especially compared to MRs. MR 8s should work just fine though, as those fine folk, above, have suggested.

Brain fog is the reason for the edit.... Was DL 12 only offered as an event prize, or was it at one point offered as a buy-in also? If it was available for cash, does anyone remember the cost?(USD price preferred) Thanks.

Yeah, it came up to buy for $$$. I don't remember how much. I think it was like $80 CAD or something like that. I ain't spending that kind of money on any game in one shot. I have over 20k A-coins and 1M credits saved up now. I'm pretty sure I can afford the DL12 when it becomes available for in-game resources.

Well I did a thing i spent 800,000 credits on the DL8's just because I couldn't wait. I like it so far, but once i get the 12's I'll move them to something else.

Yeah, I dumped the credits on DL8’s as well, and I like them - it’s a fun build that’s gotten me a few MVP’s. I only wish they did a little more damage, but that’s why I’m saving up the resources now for if/when the 12’s hit the progress path. I’ll split 8+12 on Killshot and probably Juggy until either one gets big and strong enough to load 12x2, which right now is about a lifetime or two away at the rate I play.

I was thinking of the 8-12 setup on KS as well. Killy is at 6-2, so i still have a way to go to max it anyway. I picked up the 8s ona whim, figuring i could at least get some practice in wheni do get the 12s.. ..which may be a while since im resource starved currently. Only played a few games, but it is a fun build....even if it doesn't have the punch I need.
