Alrighty, questions: 1. Please describe your gameplay preferences (brawler, sniper, beacon running, support, etc)?
2. What game modes to you play most often?
3. How interested are you in chasing the Meta?
3a. Are you Free-to-Play (aka F2P), spend some money, willing to spend a fair amount every so often to buy the newest carrot Pix dangles? 4. Are you looking purely at doing damage (and racking up kills), looking to maximize the "honor" gained after the game, looking to torment people via lockdowns/DOTs/freezing/poison/fire, max-beacon running, be an immovable object, healing?

GingrielA: Poopface has great questions. Ponder and get back to him/us B: My play consists of 80% DOM and 20% BR. All my stuff is geared to that. Lots of beacon pilot skils, yadda yadda.

1. My biggest play style would be brawler/mid range pop out hit you and hide again. That’s how I play with my current hangar….preferably I would love to be able to go full brawler on tdm and keep my beacon running to skyros type of play. I even thought about going a full hangar of skyros for beacon grabbing I love rolling them off a beacon and making reds mad 2. My favorite is beacon rush with like 20-30% TDM. Problem with TDM is I get 1-3 team rank but I die and have to wait 3-4 minutes for a match to end. Survivability is low with current setup/play style 3.I spend occasionally to get gold etc if a good deal comes out. And if a good mk2 not with weapons hit for 11.99 I’ll buy it if I can see it’s worth it. But I’m not all about the newest and greatest and I don’t usually hunt bots and weapons through chests I like to use my money on guarantee grabs. 4. When I play beacon rush my goal is to aggravate peopl like push them off beacons with skyros and grab as many as possible. I like to be able to go away with 4-6 beacons minimum a game but I also like to get in and destroy the enemy lol when I have a 4-4 score then get my titan out and go 9-5 to finish makes my day! |

I like to be able to go away with 4-6 beacons minimum a game but I also like to get in and destroy the enemy lol when I have a 4-4 score then get my titan out and go 9-5 to finish makes my day! 1. As far as brawling including hit/run play, there are a variety of ways to accomplish that. Scorpion is a great way to get that done. Your Skyros' and Ravana also can accomplish that. For pure brawling, Invader and Khepri are both good. Your Leech isn't bad, but can be extremely squishy.
2. Generally good to have a bit of diversity. You have a bit of that in your primary hanger.
3. If you're asking about purchases: 3a. Loki gives good diversity for beacon running. Depending on pilot and weapons loadout, you could either hang in there and take a beating if you are interested in playing it like Oliver Kloesov , RLH and use Jump module and occasionally hit people from where they don't expect them like I do, or play really nasty like meetjoeblack shows in this video and use Taejas. 3b. Fenrir can be extremely tanky and move reasonably quickly considering the size. 3c. Revenant can be tanky and hits from surprise, but doesn't run well.
4. You might consider putting a Skyros in your main hanger. I recommend your Cudgel-laden one with the guns leveled to the mid-MK2s. It's tankier in ball form. Level up the auto-shotguns and they're quite effective up to ~250m and great at 100m. I use a Repair Amp, Immune Amp, and Autocontrol on it with a max Armadillo drone. The AC helps to keep Reds from locking you down (mine is only level 2 and needs to be leveled further). Try to collect a few beacons early on to build up the +def stacks on your Skyros and avoid getting into prolonged fights. You can be extremely tanky, can last entire matches with 12+ beacons playing accounts comparable and somewhat better to yours, and get 3+ kills pretty easily if you try to avoid the tankiest opponents; Seraphs, Sirens, and Harpies are common targets of mine and get killed with a single salvo of my guns particularly in the early game.

Gingriel If you want pointers on spider bots, munkeeee is your man. I followed most his recommendations when I built mine (with a slight variation based on play philosophy) and it's a beast. And not be a noob what is RLH mean lol RLH = Run Like Hell
Like a lot in the game, you build your hanger based on how you want to play. My approach is to annoy people and cause chaos whenever possible. Wins are nice, but there's A LOT that's out of your control so I'm more biased toward enjoyment rather than max damage or wins. With that philosophy in mind, my Loki play is about creating disruption of all attempts by Blue to have a cohesive, focused attack. I can't justify throwing cash at the game to keep up with the meta and I'm too much of a contrarian by nature to just go along with whatever The Current Hot Thing is, so my game is psychological warfare. I try to get behind their lines and shoot them in the back or capture beacons they thought were safe. The more Reds I can tie up chasing after me the better.
And that's why I run what I call The FU Hanger.
