You're probably getting too close to the enemy with the Sleipnir. I mean, I'm focusing the hunch on a Hunchback too, am I not? The much longer range means, you might draw aggro much sooner than with the AC/20 (your AI lance-mates might put down more damage in the beginning and are thus focused more by the OPFOR).Īs for the AI focusing fire on the part of the mech housing the big gun, that makes a lot of sense to me. It might be not the Gauss itself, but the effect of it. I am in 3048 now so it has got me wondering if all of a sudden the K variants will start showing up when the timeline advances to 3050. Then I got to wondering and from Sarna, the K variant didn't show up until 3050. I mean I had to have seen over a dozen D and RS variants show up but no K. I have been looking all over hell and half acre for a Atlas K variant because I think it has the perfect hardpoint sizes and combos to be my personal goto mech for the end game an can't find it anywhere. Back to the AC/20, the issue goes away again.Īs far as the availability of mechs, I am beginning to wonder if it might have something to do with the timeline.

Thinking I must have been imagining things, I switch back to a Gauss Rifle and guess what.lost the right are twice in a row. I switched to a AC/20 when I ran out of replacement Gauss Rifles expecting the same issue but have only lost my right arm once since then. Every match the enemy would shoot my right arm off or die trying, often to the point the rest of my mech was relatively untouched. I noticed this first when I had a Gauss Rifle on my Highlander. It seems any mech that has Gauss Rifles mounted always gets special attention from the enemy. I also found and odd trend where the AI seemed to have a special hate for Gauss Rifles and I think that is why my Slepnir kept getting creamed. I had the Slepnir for a while but ended up selling it because it kept getting wiped out each fight.
