I'm not sure...it's a smaller, faster Sharpshooter. Slug and Sabot. Are we meant to assume this is a radically different playstyle_

edit: maybe it isn't a Slug Rifle.

uhh, theyve had these mechs in planned release for upto 12 months, so this mech was likely done quite a while  ago and slated to release around now.

black hats everywhere..

I don't think Sabot would do so well on an A class imo

a DMR-type roll would be better suited, so maybe instead, you should use a slug primary, and modified Hawkens as the secondary

We dont know what its special ability is yet and the features of its primary, wait till we get to try it out before making judgements imo..

Hope they get the crosshair alignment bug fixed before he comes out.

one of the dumbest looking mechs i've ever seen. this is likely not the work of either park or le. they must be outsourcing

keep your hate to yourself, or at least, explain your reasoning in constructive form

Already saved up for it! Love me some light mechs.

This is a Hit and Run Mech , to close to combat and you toast . More of support attack for the front line mechs . This is good team mate to infiltrator .
I think if we make squads and have a squad like ( scout+infiltrator+sharpshooter + REAPER) this will be a deadly team if they work together and can take out enemy mechs fast esp the weak and the lead mech ( all class )

[Omega22]

I also think its a good idea to have a good set of mechs in your garage as not all mechs are suited for battle for the maps . if one is not doing well , bring out another type .

Pointless just having a single mech in your garage i think.

No offense, but just wait and see lol. An infinite range mech that can run forever from anything but a scout sounds pretty powerful to me. Fight club participants know what im talking about.

[Omega22]

Its not about the looks , its what it can do on the battle field. I think special ability would be increase damage in sniper mode or speed boost to move even faster.

I wonder WHY another Long range sniper mech . Better to release a full set of all Class Mechs so we can spend all that in game hard moola lol

anywase i will also get myself one to join the ranks of a sharpshooter , never ever played the sharpshooter so this will go down well.

I have seen some good kills if mechs pair up with each other as a wing man does . If teams follow this , games will be a very tight match and rewarding.

[SUPPPORT_ARE_TROOPS!]

This has been a personal favorite mech of mine over his play test period.  I love this guy.  His default weapons are more suited to mid range than long range though.

SUPERRRRRRRRRR))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

[CaptainCiboulette]

The thing I love about Hawken, is the "recycled" look of the mechs!!!! This one is so cool, and a Class A Sniper_ I hope they redefine Class Cs too!! XD

they say it just dont kill you but your dog also
