Upgrades

@t_t I think Overdriver would work well on Blockhorn too, basically just as good as Minigun. I think Viper makes sense on Blockhorn, you need some protection for sustained fire. The long reload on Minigun scared me off a bit as well, but the trade off is the power while it’s active. I think the developers are going to offer certain weapons for credits, etc… that weren’t before, very soon. It might be worth waiting a while to see what they do in the coming months. 

Never played Lacewing, but Storm is great on any mech. Hanging out on rooftops and smoking mechs with Storm would certainly be effective. I’m focused on other weapons because I can’t target the way Storms should be with my current preferred controller setup. Checkout the thread I created about targeting and using Storms, it might help you. Storm has more nuances than I knew and when used correctly you can get a lot more out of them. I would say it is mandatory to have Storm legendary reload pilot implant, it knocks the reload in half and makes it much more powerful. 

My experience with these mechs and weapons is very limited and I’m sure someone else would have better insights. 

@t_t Not sure if you've already spent your resources, but BH minigun is a meta option. Don't forget that the reload implant for minigun is -40% and the legendary storm rack one is -50% (so a 5.5 second reload on those storms...). Storm Rack Lacewing is another very meta option and one I'm running. Only thing you should be aware of is that it's extremely campy but effective. I'd recommend it 😊
