@Gantzer1 I will have to disagree with you there (although the Atlas skull is rather 'cool' - especially in the new MechWarrior trailer) and say that the Rifleman is the best looking 'mech around, with the JagerMech a close second.
@susumu07 As you said, there's little to no reference materiel out there but from what I've been able to find, they cause only a small amount of damage, while their true power lies in heat build-up, which makes sense, by spiking an enemy 'mech's heat to shut down level, giving you enough time to fire everything you have at it and hope to hell you can bring it down before the enemy can manage its heat.
Do these plasma gel guns cause a lot of damage? Or just heat up an enemy mech like flamers do? It would be cool if MekTek included them in future MW4 Mercs updates.
@susumu07 The only game reference I can find to it is from the MechAssault: Phantom War game, but the flame gun is mentioned in a few of the BattleTech novels
@susumu07 They weren't in the Mechwarrior games, they appeared later, around the turn of MW Dark Age.
Basically, flame gels are a gun equipped to a 'mech that is able to spit out a gel-like substance of liquid fire that did no real damage to the 'mech but spiked the fusion reactor to near shutdown. To a pilot, seeing a wave of liquid fire flood over your cockpit canopy is terrifying to say the least.
Flame gel guns? What are those? I played MW2 Mercs and I never saw a flame gel gun. Though I didn't finish the game due to compatibility problems with my PC. But still, there wasn't even any readme info on that stuff.
@gyrobotZ Psychologial warfare does have its fine moments, not just with the Atlas, but also the Flamethrower and Flame Gel guns. Apart from only causing heat levels to sky rocket, they're very effective s tools against 'mans' age old fear of fire.
When Kerensky asked for a mech that was as powerful as possible as impenetrable as possible and as ugly and forboding possible so that fear will be their ally, the Atlas proved him right
