Mech For Review: Gargoyle

Health levels: 3.5 (950)
Not the highest amount of XP out there, it’s still more than enough to withstand a couple of full alphas from most heavy and assault setups.

Speed: 5
This mech, though being a heavy, is definately quick and can travel across the ground at a blistering pace, able to give rapid chase to lighter mechs and flee easily from all but warp and strife jet mechs, or air bound harrassers. However, due to being a heavy mech, it will more than likely be able to mount the weapons to counter them.

Flight capability: 0
If you even touch the jump button in this mech, your heat will instantly jump to 100 heat, overheating you in the air. Whatever you do, stay ground bound.

Hitbox Size: 3.5
This mech is almost completely accurately portrayed by it’s hitbox. The only catch is, often times it’s chest is a little too wide, and winging shots will clip the prims, but not register. Same applies to the treads if fireing from the sides. Yet the entire setup is so compact, such issues seem minor at best.

Weapons that come with: Gauss Rifle

Gauss Rifle:
Equip slot: Left and Right arm
Damage level: 3.5 (65 normal, 72 with full perks)
ammo: 3 (80 rounds)
range: 3 (50 meters)
Projectile type: Physical
Projectile speed: 3
fire rate: 2 (about a one and a half second pause between shots.)
Heat generation: 2 (Alone they generate roughly 26 heat with no attached heatsinks)
Ease of aim: 3 (decently sized splash combined with medium bullet movemetn makes direct hit easy at close range, or splashing at long range.)
Special: None
Hardmounted: No
Splash Size: 4 (4-5 meter explosion)
Personal notes:
Slow fireing with a large splash, these weapons are best used to target assault mechs and other ground bound targets, or to splash light mechs off of roofs. Ill suited to target light mechs on even ground, use this weapon to target heavy ground pounding mechs.

Overall review
While the default weapon on this mech is less than admirable, it’s base mech platform itself is entirely worth the money. A respectable amount of health, a very rapid speed for a heavy, and a low profile, this mech is essentially a ground pounding medium mech bred with the heavy hitting weapons of an assault. Heights, however, will always hinder it.
For weapons, I suggest most anything to work for it, close range weapons useable by it’s speed, long range able to be used with it keeping it’s distance.
