I'm quite new to this game after it came to Steam and Raider is starting to become one of my favorite mechs. It's great as long as you get to close or mid range. As I understand that's where it's best with Raider's guns . Sometimes it's hard just to win 1vs1 with someone, because can't take too much hits. But I guess it's the same with many other mech. That's where Raider speed helps with. Secondary weapon has such a low fire rate so it's bad if you miss the shot. But still, I don't know how much Raider has changed after coming to Steam, I'll keep trying to play with it. The ability skill is really fun too, great for escaping or charging some other player .
Some people here saying that Raider isn't so good anymore, I dunno. Most battles I've been in have ended quite well for me. But okey I admit it could be pure luck to play well and it really changes depending on enemy player's fighting skills.
