Having certain colors and geometric shapes causing your vision to blur is called Kaleidoscope Vision. Might want to talk to an optometrist about that since it CAN be dangerous when driving.

The Hellbringer is a great beginner mech. Although for beginners I would suggest the same laser vomit build Bara suggested. With only four medium lasers you have less heat gen and more dissipation. The gauss requires leading your shots and therefore is not as beginner friendly.

@@ogie76 Who said anything about a professional mech? We are talking people that just installed the game. They have no idea what works for them, or their play style. The Hellbringer is a great starter/beginner mech. It is a heavy, so decent armor. It is a Clan heavy, so it has above average mobility for a heavy. No matter which one you buy, you can get the PRIME torso and add ECM. And laser vomit is by far the easiest for people learning how to pilot and shoot at the same time. Professional mech. They are all insanely deadly in expert's hands. The video and comments are information provided to help beginners.

@@ogie76While technically true, mediums have less armor. Even more of a handicap for new players that do not know why, where, and when to move. Anyone can play any mech in this game they like. The Hellbringer is by far the best all around starter mech (imho). Like I've said before, good armor, good maneuverability, good firepower, and the option for ECM. On top of that, omni-pods allow for changing the loadout without spending millions more C-bills for another mech. So you can buy 5 IS medium mechs to get five loadouts. Or one Hellbringer and half a dozen omni-pods for five different builds for half the cost. Buy once, cry once. The Hellbringer is a larger up front cost, but the benefits and the lower cost on the back end make it a better buy. Just my $.02. New players can spend it however they want.

Just been fishing for beginner stuff for MWO, so this is great timing! The mechlab is still a little daunting, but I'll happily get stuck in with a definable goal!

Nice choice for a first mech. If you want an inner sphere mech i suggest also a hunchback as an alternative

Can`t go wrong with the Hellbringer, excellent choice. That coloseum map does the same thing to my eyes hate that map. Great vid as always, thanks.

Yeah, dump left arm armor, use 2 heavy larges and whatever left over for heat sinks; keeps the SO8 bonuses.

I think swapping the head is probably? wrong. Running large or heavy lasers instead of a few of the mediums is probably a better build, because it uses the bonuses.

@robertagren9360

Doesn't help much. With 4 medium lasers it can have a flamer in one arm. This way not entirely defenseless once those laser heat up and headshot works with gauss. It may look like a good idea to have heavy laser but it got nothing at 1000m than a single gauss rifle. It's actually better to use er large lasers. Heavy medium laser fool you twice since it doesn't deal the damage.

I like the Bushwacker with RACs ;) was one of my first mechs

A classic.. Good recommendation for beginners.

Yeah the Hellbringer is a good beginner 'mech, mainly because of the ECM though.

Licensed Optician here, like others mentioned seeing an optometrist would be worthwhile but for what its worth a lot of people struggle with contrast on these shades of purple. Using some kind of "blue blocker" or computer lens could help with it.

For whatever reason, I've never been able to get the hang of Hellbringers. However, I'm very much in the minority there. All my friends have had great success with the mech. It's a good call for most beginners. Even the hotter build would be good for them to learn on, because heat management is one of the most dangerous abilities in T5. If you know how to avoid overheating and your enemy doesn't, you're golden.

The Hellbringer and the Warhammer are my two favorite mechs. The Hellbringer can also carry a HAG 40 + 4 ER Med Lasers easy.

I love Baraduls MWO content, for over a year now I make every single one of the builds he uploads (that I dont already own) and over time tune or refine them to my own tastes excluding a few of the new legends I wasnt interested in. I dont own a single hellbringer so I am excited for this one.

Thanks for the video.

I've tried a HAG on my Hellbringer Prime, but I keep going back to the UAC20, it might not have the range or damage of the HAG, but it also doesn't have the prefire charge of the HAG.

I use it with HAG40 and 2 C-heavy lasers at highest hardpoints. All for decent alpha strike

I thank you a lot for this video!

i am begging you: please include a link to the build in the video description, it takes one minute and i, for one, will be very grateful!

Good to know, thanks.

Yeah, visibility on that first map looks tough. The color combos would look more appropriate in a No Man's Sky planet. Picking mechs out visually on that map would be challenging.

Almost exactly the build I've been running in my HBR

The purple burns my eyes makes me dread playing an other wise alright map

Weird. I can see what Bara is saying. Even his room/background looks purple.

Yiou dont have the JJ on the HBR though, another skill to develop later on sadly. It's hard but ECM makes for walking around and learning the maps comparatively ^_^

Any news on the Roguetech patch?

how about a HAG fury?

instead of swapping out the head pod and losing your set bonus why would you not simply put that other laser in the other arm as it has an energy hardpoint already?

@@ArkLord001 Is this question serious? It take 2 and half mins of experience in this game for a normal person to realize how impactful high mounted weapons are. Most heavily quirked mechs are so because theyre forced to use bad mounting positions and these arms are about as bad as it gets.

@ArkLord001

@@helmholtzthemulewatson4763 I've been playing this since Beta and yes, I agree high mounts are best but in some cases the overall affect of quirks or pod set bonuses outweigh a "convenient" mount position. When playing mechs like BAS or other high mount mechs who only pop up the high points against me, lose them VERY quickly assuming I don't pop the cockpit off the mech. A good player doesn't rely on the mech's hardpoint positions but rather makes use of what they have to best affect. Situational awareness of where your enemies are, where your teammates are, the presence of enemy UAV's, type of weapons being fired from enemy mechs all outweigh high mounts. So someone realizing this after 2+1/2 minutes of game play in a match with me seeing them from the opposite team, learns in 3+1/2 minutes that those high mounts and 1/2 their mech are gone and I'm not the only player who can halve a mech that pops up like this. In a phrase, "Stick your head up so I can blow it off" high mounts a great to have but not the only way to play. Yes lower arm groups like the HBR, TBR, KGC, WHM, MAD, etc are terrible at hitting what's in front of them from peeking upwards and yes, that's by design otherwise all mechs would be the same. It's the same issue as having all the weapons on the same side of the mech. it forces you to always show the same side to the enemy to fire whereas mixed mounts do not and why zombie mechs are a real PITA. When facing an enemy mech, where do you fire first at it if you have full view of the mech? Think about your answer for a minute. I'll tell you where experienced players fire nearly 80% of the time unless they have target info showing them a clear weak spot. Experienced players ALWAYS fire high left to the enemy mech as it's the right torso. Why? Because over 85% of mechs have the majority of their weapons as right side mounts, ecm, etc and removing the right torso, halves the mech, removes ECM in most of them as well as nearly all of their firepower. I have a BAS-B that will delete the RT/LT of pretty much any heavy mech or lower in 1 shot and if it doesn't, it's as good as gone when something sneezes on it. I love removing legs on almost every mech in a or 2 shots depending on the weight class on HPG through the little slots between the ramps near E6. It's not the mounts. It's ALL about the quirks/bonuses and how the pilot uses them. Where the weapon resides can help but relying on the weapon because it's a high mount alone makes for a poor player who snipes from extreme distance because they can't brawl.

try this random hellbringer build plz

Why were you a prime target in the first match? Because you are a Hellbringer Prime,with light armor, you have a HAG 30 and you demonstrated that you can shoot straight

What I don't like about this mech is the lack of Endo-steel and Ferro-fibrous.

To properly showcase a mech for a given bracket you really need to be queueing with an account in that bracket. The "team work" and positional awareness and all the factors that support your personal skill are VERY different down in T4 and T5 currently compared to T1.

@@Artificer1911 I'm saying that you can give every mech the effects of ECM by globally reducing targeting range. It would increase the need to be perceptive and communicate enemy locations. And give mechs with ECM an information advantage against direct fire units because you can't read their build or damaged locations when those mechs are inside target range. Then it also becomes more important to carry equipment like tags or probes to increase your targeting range.

Hellbringer in general? Decent beginner mech. HAG, strip armor, all these tweaks.....not at all. Kinda lost touch if you think this is beginner friendly.

It is the thing about guns. They spread the further you stack them. It is better to have a single heavy large than 4 medium. If you got space a heavy large why not use the tonnage. It's supposed to be the case with every torso that each gun does not stack on each other. But then it is a videogame and physics doesn't exist. Looks for what it is. An iron cross designed for a single barrel. The lasers in battletech were computer guided.
