If you like the Incinerator:

Grenadier: The Grenadier shares many things with the Incinerator, though the Grenadier is much more directly an offensive, rather than supporting mech. The Grenadier obviously has several grenade-type weapons, which will be pretty familiar to you if you are coming from the Incinerator, and is a C class, though is markedly slower than the Infiltrator. While the differences are important, the transition should be smooth.


"The Grenadier obviously has several grenade-type weapons, which will be pretty familiar to you if you are coming from the Incinerator, and is a C class, though is markedly slower than the Infiltrator. "


..."Infiltrator"_ Is this intended, or is it supposed to be "Incinerator" again_

I'll try shouting it again today: "Saturnine! Saturnine! Stop the spam, Saturnine!"

Another typo:

Ability: The Incinerators ability is the only directly offensive one in the game. While other mechs have abilities that may augment their ability to damage their opponents, the Infiltrator's ability directly damages enemy mechs when used, and like everything else about it, this ability is more powerful depending on how much heat you have...

Other than that, keep up the good work!

Fixed! Thanks. :)

Weapons: The Infiltrators default primary is the Assault Rifle, which you are probably familiar with, though you may find its use to be at odds with the Infiltrators secondary, the Grenade Launcher. Because the GLs grenades travel in an arc, you generally have to aim above, or lead your target in order to hit them, which means you aren't aiming directly at them to hit with the Assault Rifle. However, the ease of use and strength of the Assault Rifle means you may still find you prefer the AR on your infiltrator. From here, the other options are more difficult to use, though their strength and versatility may well prove worthwhile once the learning curve is overcome. The alternate primary for the infiltrator is the Heat Cannon, which, with practice, can deal some great damage, and even has a small damage radius to deal damage on near misses. The prestige primary is the EOC Repeater, which for a long time has been famous for how difficult it is to use properly, but once learned the damage potential is enormous. Finally, the Grenade Launcher is the Infiltrators secondary weapon. Using this you can hit enemies just out of sight with solid damage.

What is 'optimal' changes all the time and depends highly on personal preference. I just wanted to give people as much information as I could so that they could figure what kind of mech they want to play and works for their preferences.

Alright, the guide has been mostly updated to be completely up to date. The only thing I know to still be missing is the information on the G2 Raider, and I should have that before too long.

Woah! A totally awesome and amazing person by the name of Wraithknight went through the guide and fixed a bunch of the minor grammatical problems and such that littered the guide. For those unaware - if you put the guide into a word document, that's a 38 page document, and Wraith went through and fixed all these minor problems that have eluded me since its creation.

So please show Wraithknight some love for doing all this work! It's very much appreciated on my end, and I think they deserve a ton of respect for doing this.
