[Mod Release] The Archer and Rifleman Are Here!

[bloodydoves]

So, I recently released the Archer and Rifleman to the community, if you're interested, check 'em out at the Nexus! (I don't post much here so I don't know if the links are kosher, if not, please remove them as necessary, though I'd like if they stayed so people could find the mods.)

Rifleman:

A little late for a Christmas present, I know, but I hope you'll forgive the brief delay. There's a vanilla and a MechEngineer version of both, for those who have vanilla mechbays and those who have MechEngineer installed. Enjoy!

love your mods man.
the ASN is one of my goto recon meks.

while the CPLT is a good solid fire support heavy the Archer really puts it to shame...especially if ya get too close and it melees your arse.
picked up a 2R other day though it cost me a quickdraw.

encountered a RFL-4D in a base defense....and the lucky basterd spawned in water....
i got him in the end though....even named the mek Lucas McCain (look it up if you are too young to know)

great work man.
keep it up.

Glad you're enjoying the mods, my friend! The Assassin and Annihilator will be getting revamps here soon enough, so keep your eyes out for those in the coming month or so.

Nicely done @bloodydoves!

Your Mechs are deeply appreciated, the Archer most especially! It is a favorite of mine. : )

Your inspiration, innovation and hard work, along with the inspiration, innovation and hard work of your fellow BATTLETECH Mod Creators is a boon and blessing to our entire BATTLETECH Community.

Thank you, Good Sir. :bow:

Prussian, kind words from someone of your stature in the community. Thank you for the kindness. I know you're a vanilla multiplayer dude, but I do hope you find a chance to give the new mechs a whirl. There's some great stuff being done in mech modding right now, it's really open season on new chassis'.

Had the Archer installed for my current career run: it is amazing how much tougher the opposition is with an Archer instead of a Catapult. Got my ass handed to me by a fully armored lance of two Archers and two Warhammers, it was glorious!

Installed Rifleman today, looking forward to my first encounter with one in the wild!

We grognards thank you for your efforts!!!

Imagine the fun we are going to have when the annihilators show up

Oh, they're (the Annihilator and Assassin) already in the game actually. I just did them a few months ago and they're not too well done. I need to go back and fix them up so they're more modernized.

Haha, sounds like a good time, buddy. Glad you're enjoying the mechs! The Archer really stiffens the AI a bunch, those LRM 20s aren't jokes. The Rifleman isn't quite as strong but since the AI is pretty silly about heat you can get some scary turns where the AI just overheats turn after turn to alpha with the Rifleman continuously. It's a good time.
