Wow!  If the servers cooperate, this thing might be decked out before the night's over.

Do you like shotguns yet_ If not, have two more!

[CaptainDayman]

Anyone else a little bit skeptical about the emp as its primary offensive_ Or maybe I just don't like the idea of non-stop emp wars during matches

Besides that, I am pretty excited about this update and still looking forward to this new mech!

If you dont believe in or use EMPs then just get rid of it like im going to. I dont need emps and i never intend to use them.

Most pilots will probably switch it out for Det or HE. With the amount of burst it seems to have already, a detonator would be devistating on this thing.

Also, looks like the tried and true movement/def spec will optimize the reaiderKs capabilities.

As for a downside, I can see fuel and heat management will be big for this mech in particular. I can already see rookies popping blitz, then rushing in guns blazing, and then overheating plus be out of gas by the time they even get within optimal range.

Can't wait to jump in one.

During Alpha, [inset words here]

We don't talk about the alpha.

Seriously, we're still under NDA for it.

Wondering how the reflak ricochet will work. I'm hoping the angle of incidence will be consistent, so that you can actually calculate well placed bounce shots. Be lame for people to just be spamming it at walls haphazardly.

there's your restriction point

I think the Raider will be an essential tool in unclogging the AAs during siege

I even took my lucky Hawken.hu T-shirt today for this occasion.

[Osune]

Its a Scout/infil mash up in a b chassis_ Oi
Or did I get it wrong_

[BlackCephie]

Anyone else find it odd though that the MIRV is the close range function, while the nades give you more range_ MIRVS are very long ranged ballistics usually.

[musio3]

Do you recall gun from Unreal Tournament 2000 where Flak cannon had similar feature of ricocheting pellets_

I don't really find it odd.... TOW missiles are wire-guided usually.  Artistic freedom I suppose.

The Raider is a BEAST!

Also couldn't read anything in the patch notes about bots being added to the training mode.  Very nice.

There i was, checking the Raider out and mr infiltrator starts shooting at me, was i scare for a second there, yay.
