I am thinking about the addition of a LR build to my hanger to prepare for Yamantau and also E task. I was thinking which gun battery would be better for Gauss or Treb. Jaeger or Behemoth? I have actually less to no knowledge at sniping as I focus more on brawling and beacon capping. I know 079 has a decently leveled Jaeger so what's your opinion on this? I sold a Treb a few weeks back and now regrets it terribly. Or would Trebs be better for this job then the Gauss? What's your thoughts? Either way, this porject is gonna cost a lot. TIA |

Well, like most comparisons, there is no definitive answer, but I will say, it is more clear-cut than other cases. Here are the advantages of the bots and weapons on paper:
Behemoth Advantages
- little higher DPS (Gauss only)
- taller to reach over cover
- better cornershooter
- more raw health
Jaeger Advantages
- can move with all weapons active
- shield
- faster
- higher DPS (Trebuchet only)
- cheaper (less weapons to upgrade)
Trebuchet Advantages
- more range
- little higher damage per shot
- goes through (blue) energy shields
Gauss Advantages
- much higher DPS
- extra damage to physical shields
- resistance bypass
- harder for targets to identify (no glowing barrels)
For my preference with bots, I prefer Jaeger a bit over Behemoth. While Behemoth may be more fun with its four weapons, Jaeger’s shield, speed, and built-in canon make it the better sniper. The built-in cannon is something people do not give enough credit, it has almost twice the DPS of Gauss, so a Gauss Jaeger actually does not give up much firepower to gain its utility, not to mention the cannon’s extra range. The cannon of course does not have a charge mechanism and needs a pilot for resistance bypass, but it is definitely worth it.
My preferred weapon is Gauss 100%. Trebuchet may be a classic and that extra range actually is handy, but Gauss is just so much more potent and up to date with the meta. Unless you have some attachment to Trebuchet, Gauss will serve you much better.
So yeah, my conclusion, for performance is to run Gauss Jaeger.

From what I’m seeing in Masters/Champs, Prisma is the way to go. Lockdown Ammo increases the fun factor. Leveled, they melt everything. I now have my 2 on my Hawk in my FU/Troll hangar.

Jaeger is a better sniper, but you really should get prisma.
I run a mk3 prisma Erebus (first bot and weapons that I leveled over 1.10) and I melt anything in a matter of seconds.
Enemy snipers with Trebs or gauss do not stand a chance and they can only hide or die.
I suggest that you don't invest on the 2 weapons that you mentioned, they are outdated, wait until you get prisma.
Mani has a video with prisma Erebus and what he is showing is just a usual game with it.
Lots of times I get 5 - 6 kills at the first 2 minutes of the game.

Switching modes on behemoth is quick. It is a very strong bot where jaeger is not. Up till now have not seen a jaeger that left any kind of impression. Behemoth has 4 heavies that will burn more holes in anything from a distance before it dies compared to jaeger and it can be used as aa non-sniper. Dedicated sniper builds are waste of resources imo, better build something that has more versatility, behemoth is the way. M2c
