How about tips on how to beat Bastion? I met another maxed one and was OP.

Keep some distance between you and them. I mainly have used DL builds against them. Have encountered maxed but so far players seem too new to be that good with the mech.
On a related note, I have been consistently getting Bastion blueprints since I bought mine. It is now a couple levels ahead of my Gatecrasher that I bought weeks ago, even though they are both legendary mechs.

Knock off his shield and avoid the blast. Then go for the kill after quick reload. Ive found the Volraic 14 rpg is useful in slowing enemies and syncs well with Missile Rack. I was really surprised. So slow/freeze Bastion then unload missiles. |

I don't have VRPG14...I was too cheap last week to pay for the last few tokens it would have needed to unlock it. Oh well. I will get the VRPG16 when it goes on a similar deal.

Probably better to just get the 16 anyway. The 14 shoots 5 rounds instead of four but it's enough of a drop in damage per mag, that I'm doubtful it's really worth it. |

The vrpg14 slows down reds and mixes well with other missile weapons imho. For lower energy mech builds it could be an option. Matched with a mr8 or 12 it works pretty well, especially getting that last sliver of health.  |

Been running this MR8+VRPG16 on my Ares all week in CPC. The VRPG is only 4.7 (and I'm using a pilot with only MR implants) but this has worked better for me than any other VRPG build so far. Pretty fun and good for like 5-6 kills in CPC. Even held it's own against some human opponents. Also, it's helping me knock off some of Ares MR Achievement task too. Tried it on a Stalker and it didn't work for me. Feel like the shield is a must, but I could try KS or Surge and see how speed/stealth pairs up with it. Anyway, fun tip - thanks!!  |
