Make sure you come back here and tell us all about your experience with your new purchase.

I found out that my aim doesn't suck that much: I was playing at 6k DPI. I lowered the DPI to 3600 and now seems like I can play much better than before with my Raider. I almost begin to like it lololol

I don't want to spend that much money for a mech which is not versatile. I need something that allows me to change strategies during the match. Since I already have my raider I'don't deem it as useful at this point

[MechFighter5e3bf9]

try turning that down to 1530 and polling rate to 1000 see how that does for you (high dpi when not needed creates lag its wasted cpu) poll rate 1k is crucial

If you buy an internal, you can take it off and NOT lose it. It will remain in your inventory for that mech. You must buy internals for each mech, they are not universal. But you can equip any internal you buy for that mech on that mech provided you have the internal slots for it. There is no interest rate.

As for DPI I currently play at 800 DPI and 20 sensitivity. I've been lowering it steadily (sens)

I think that 800 is a bit too low, I'd have to move the mouse a lot and I do not have a lot of space. Thank you for the answer on the internals.

Ah, I did my first MA with the Pred, and ended 5/8/7. It's difficult, but I like it a lot; maybe it was right decision... time will tell!

And since we're here, is it good Deflectors + air compressor + basic failsafe/Shock coil_

Air compressor is excellent on Pred.

Failsafe and deflectors aren't bad options, but I believe evasive device/reconstructor are better.

Shock coils are mostly useless, though it can feel nice knowing that you can fall from any height without breaking cloak.

How is your Pred play coming along_

[S7EVIN90]

I hadn't much time to play the game in the last days... Anyway the feedback is positive, I've reached rank 5 and my mmr went up from 1322 to almost 1500 while I picked up my pred

[BurnsHot]

Good lets us know if you need more help at getting better with the mech. If you want us to critic your game play etc.

[S7EVIN90]

As of now, I'm getting beaten up a bit since I've begun to use the EOC R, and I have to adjust my playsyle to it a bit.

Any suggestions_

[BurnsHot]

Cant say much unless i see how you play.  Can you make a video_  

In general I find the EOC R better at engaging more than one enemy.  Regardless of your weapon, you can use hit and run and kite them, until you get a Health Point advantage then you can press back against them.

Well I guess it depends on the situation.  The EOC Repeater is good for spamming to cover an area and I have noticed that it also does good volley damage if you can land the shots where the target will be.  Sometimes just sweeping the cursor as you fire/release the trigger will work quite well.

Also it depends on the map and the game mode.  For TDM I love playing the pred in Uptown.  If you can keep the high ground you can rain those pebbles of death down on the opposing team or target someone trying to take cover.  For siege I find it works really well in Wreckage and to some degree in Last Eco, though those mines work well to choke up any where on the AA with constant annoying damage.

When I have some time to film it I will post a video so that you can give me a better feedback. Maybe I can do it in the next weekend.

OBS is free, though it takes a little bit of tweaking to make it good.
