Weapon

Secondary weapon : Grenade launcher

 

Primary weapon

1. Flak Cannon

2. Heat Cannon

3. Mini-Flak

 

 

Here is what I think (may be wrong though)

1. Not too complicated, reuse existing chasis/weapon should be easily done right?

2. There is no new weapon but all of them never being use by any B-Class mech

3. Even with low armour the ability and walking speed giving you the upper hand by flanking and alpha strike your enemy

4. Enemy rely on radar when it come to corner play and this ability give you the advantage

 

 

so what you guys think?

I don't recognise that chassis, but I like it. 

[DeeRax]

I bet when they release 'Pusher,' it'll be really, really similar to this prolly.

And I'd love that.

(Although, technically mini-flak is not on a b-class yet........ But re-flak is similar enough I think)

How about the weapons are also silent while the ability is active?

Yes.

Ooh, I like this idea! =D or maybe a 'vampire' Mech that's short(ish) ability is to be noiseless while firing and moving, and to not be able to see where it's firing from.. With a Vulcan and the Tech beam on permanent red. so you could sneak into a fire fight for close range and the enemy wouldn't know they were Vamp'd  until they saw your Vamp mech on their 'killed by' screen because pilots wouldn't notice the sustained damage until the last moment. or even equip Shotgun type weapons and time them on your allies Tow hits. You'd be amazed at how many people you can ghost on hawken without using an inf or Pred! I used to walk behind people and do that in my raider all the time =D

Also I want to see a mech with a cosmetic cloak on it's back...

...In a panda costume..

it would be awesome to have like capes that you can wear on your mechs, flowing in the wind with such majesty and grace.

paintable tarps hanging on mechs? i could go for that, ideas how they would work with invisible mechs though?

they would flip up a hood and sort of "zip up" around the mech like a raincoat then cloak with the mech itself

not for this mech, its only manipulate radar so you can still hear foot step/boosting/weapon sound

but you will not get bleep on radar like infiltrator when invi

If the weapons still make sound then as soon as you get to skill levels where people know what they're doing, trying to assassinate/force a 1v1 with someone would be a lot harder if their team will hear you instantly and rush you.

Having silenced weapons (when the ability is activated) would benefit an assassin/flank playstyle, which is what I'm assuming this mech would be used for.

Although to be honest a team using voice comms would re-introduce this weakness

Either way it's definitely an interesting concept, as an ability even if the entire mech concept wasn't added

Nice idea, it feels like the big brother of the infiltrator and the scout.

I suppose that you put aside the scanner issue concerning its ability ?

its ability focus on evading radar, so scanner wont pick up anything

still, you will be attack by leftover machine-gun turret (not happen when you on pred/infil sionce their is complete invi)

you get caught on enemy HUD too

Reaper already has a tarp on it, so it wouldn't break game style or convention either.
