This video demonstrates a 75-ton Marauder mech build featuring a rail gun as the primary weapon and six small lasers as secondary weapons. The rail gun deals 20 damage with a 2.5-second cooldown, while each capacitor adds 8 pinpoint damage, 4 heat per shot, and 1.6 splash damage per side. The build uses Light Engine 280 as the base, with 6 tons of rail gun ammo and 3 small lasers per arm. Small lasers are preferred over ER smalls because they have lower heat (1.1 vs 1.6) and higher DPS at closer ranges, despite ER smalls having slightly better range (200m vs 160m). The build achieves 46.5 firepower and 60.5 kph speed, making it a compact but effective rail gun platform.

The Smallest Mech With The BIG RAILGUN! - Marauder - German Mechgineering
Added:This is the smallest mech to ever house the fabulous new rail gun. At just 75 tons of weight, this mech is basically a main weapon on legs. Naturally, most of your damage comes from your primary rail gun.
But if you get attacked by light mechs or need some other close-range firepower, this mech is no slouch with six small lasers.
And always remember, the next cockpit kill is just a rail gun slug away.
I don't underestimate small lasers. This is like more than an AC20 firing right now.

>> Nice.
Hit him in the back. time.
Ah, now we get to get enjoy the joys, the broken capacitor.
Ah, isn't it beautiful?
You know what? That was a good fight on the side here. That was actually a good side. Good side fight >> acestroy target acquired.
>> I took a lot of attention away from my teammates there.
>> I I want I'm going to call that a good death.
Forkd a solo kill. Thousand damage done.
7 tanked.
Oh, top damage in the match. 555 match score.
Piranha was playing out of his mind.
Very nice.
And I've got Paul and hat. Good as always. Well done, guys. GG's.
>> Target acquired.
>> Bad shot. Too slow. That was a Kodiak.
Kodak and Charlie for Target spotted.
>> Good thing I brought extra ammo. That way I can miss a couple of shots.
This guy's going with the plasma cannon build, but he also dropped the SM6 Artemis to normal SM6s.
I think I feel almost like the Artemis might be a trap on that Kodiak.
>> Target spotted.
>> New target acquired.
>> Let's go behind here.
C7A is always good. Go beside him and hide and get shot in the face.
>> Shoot that guy in the face.
>> Almost.
>> Behind us.

I hit him.
Was a locust stuff. Locus running through. I don't know if you saw it. I hit him.
>> That hit spotted.
>> Two stuff, guys. Not the four.
Night Star and the champion Apache.
>> No, my teammates are not reacting to it.
In fact, they're just running. Okay.
>> All right. Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice.
All right. Well, >> spotted.
>> If you guys are all running, it forces me to run as well. So, let's go.
>> Wanted to go up here to fight, but I think one further is even better.
Just got to keep an eye out from the flank here.

This isn't looking so hot.
That's good.
A I missed.
>> I keep missing cuz I suck.
>> What? I said about the lasers being an AC20. Target acquired.
again.
Keep missing the locust. I hit him once and now I can't hit him anymore.
Where did the night star go? I wonder.
Oh, there he is.
Let's go say hi.
Cuz they're winning by circle right now.
UAV.
Target acquired.
Warning. Missile.
>> No more shooting for you guys. Target.
>> Oh, come on. Really?
New target acquired.
>> Nice. Dead.
>> Target spotted.
>> Right.
>> New target acquired.
>> Target spotted.
>> Come on. Run up here. Run up here. Run up here. Of course not.
>> Special moves need to be made. Special moves need to be had. You're going to annoy me and then you're going to die behind the wall like a cockroach.
The classics.
I missed a couple of shots on the Lucas.
I should probably not have taken the shots on the Lucas. Should have saved those shots for something bigger. Uh to killing both a solo kill and 800. Solid match. The components almost 500 match go once again.
GG's. Hi friends, I'm TTB and you're watching JC Engineering. Here we have the build for our mech on screen. As you can see guys, we're rocking a light engine 280 as the basis for our build.
I've got, of course, the rail gun here with both capacitors. Then we've got six tons of rail gun ammo and three small lasers in each arm. We're removing three armor off of the arms each and eight armor off of each leg. Enos structure, light ferrof fibers, and double heat sinks are our upgrades. Our firepower, uh, it's listed as 46.5, but that is not exactly correct. Our speed 60.5 kph.
In terms of the crooks, we're getting 10% heat dissipation. That is it. Plus 10 full body structure and 30% chassis seabill bonus. Now, how does the rare gun work? Well, look here. The rare gun right now after patch is going to be a little bit less damage. Right now, it's listed as 24 damage. After the patch, it's going to do uh four damage less, but the cooldown is also going to come down by 1 second. So, long story short, the DPS of this weapon is not going to change. It's going to do a little bit less damage per hit, but it is going to shoot a little bit faster. So, the ray gun is going to be at 20 damage. And then you've got the capacitors. And if you mouse over the capacitors, you see that each of these capacitors increases the heat by per shot by four, the pinpoint damage by eight, and the splash damage by 1.6 on either side. So, basically, what happens is that each capacitor adds an extra eight pinpoint damage. That is 16 damage right here plus the 20 right here. It's going to be 20 + 16 = 36 plus of course the splash damage. If you lose side torsos then of course you lose a damage capacity. So that out of the way. Uh make sure to take the ammo skill by the way. That way you get uh six tons of ammo six shots per ton of ammo and not just four. Very important.
That is basically it guys. Weapon group wise. I mean it's a no-brainer. Mouse button one shoots the laser, but mouse button two charges the rare gun. That's it. Your lasers, like I said in the intro, great for point defense, great for knocking out components, uh, and keeping pesky lights off of you. You might think six small lasers is not much, but um, that's about the firepower of an AC20 that's shooting relatively often. Um, basically heat neutral and, uh, has pinpoint instant hit scan. So, don't underestimate this. I've fought and won many a fight with small lasers in this game. And of course, the rail gun being the high mount. Really, really nice and easy to use. Great mech. If you've got the uh tournament support back uh pack, I will think that you will enjoy this a lot. But hey, if you guys have played this build, let me know how it turns out for you. Oh, by the way, last point, small lasers, not small lasers. Why? E smalls. um 2.5 cooldown, 1.6 heat. The small lasers, 2.25 cooldown, and 1.1 heat. So, heatwise, they are a lot cooler running at the same damage. And the optimal range is 200 on the ER small, it is 160 on a normal small laser. So, there is a small bracket of like 30 m where the ER smalls are going to be better. And then everything below that, the smalls are just better than ER smalls. So, I would just go for the small lasers. is higher DPS closer up. Um, and those extra 3 meters are they're not going to make or break uh this. So, I would always go smalls over er smalls. Uh, clan, of course, different story. The clan ER smalls have a lot more range and you don't have normal small lasers here uh as an alternative, but yeah, I would I would just go small lasers unless there are specific use cases for smalls, but this mech ain't it. Well, there you have it. This is the smallest mech that runs a rare gun currently in Mech Warrior online. definitely a lot of fun to play and uh is a I would say very interesting and a pretty good mech and I really enjoyed playing it. At this point, of course, I would like to say thank you so much to all my amazing supporters, guys.
Don't do this fulltime and I could not do this without your help. So, thank you very much for that. And hey, if you're not a supporter yet and would like to say thanks for the videos, just have a look at the video description. You'll find links to my Patreon, my merch store.
