How to Build the Warhammer WHM-6R (MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries Quick Build Guides) 

The original Mechwarrior reboot before MW5 featured the Warhammer dueling an Atlas. It's one of the most recognized Mechs in the series. It also is constantly overheating as 2 PPCs are difficult to manage without double heatsinks.

I actually bought a Warhammer figurine in '99, 'cuz it looked cool. I was 8 years old. :)

Large lasers in place of PPC's is one of the best choices one can make. 2 tons per PPC removed for whatever you like. Extra armor, heatsinks and ammo. Less heat. What's not too like.

The Black Widow is so solid, it’s the Hero version of the WH. Keep an eye out, it can take some interesting configurations.

Excellent build Fox, keep you in the fighting and moving

My all time favorite mech... the Mad Cat being a distant second. The only real changes I make are swap the srm 6 for a 4, plop in some double heat sinks and up the armour. This mech sings in the right hands. The key I find is you're the floater, deal damage at range and mop up closers obviously... but once your in it, it's all about holding fire and deligating targets. Then you weave around the battlefield applying max damage in short bursts on targets not focusing on you.(I like to target dangerous weapon systems first) Then once you start to draw attention peel off, seek cover, and rinse repeat.

Ah some of the good ole edits used in your playthroughs made it in this video love to see them back.

great video, really helpfull advice and guide, thats a sub from me and a big thx

This is a great build. But if you are going to use a Warhammer, you have to use the Black Widow. 2 ER PPC, 2 Medium Pulse Lasers, 4 Machine Guns, and a LRM 10-ST. The rest of you tonnage goes into Armor and Double Heat Sinks. In MW5 Mercenaries, the Machine Guns at tier 5 hit as hard as AC 2s, just without the range. You shred through mechs with my build. Between the missiles and PPCs, you strip your target of armor if not destroy them outright, then the machine guns melt what’s left.

Ah the Warhammer a truly worthy mech... Much approve 👌

After watching several of your videos I've adopted the ammo in the legs of the mech philosophy. Thus really embracing the mantle of lower level shitlord I adopted after deciding LRM's for everyone. As currently the proud owner of 11 Atlas 3 Banshee 3 Highlander 4 Battlemaster 3 Awesome 1 Cyclops And various other 80 ton mech. 24 are in my current active/available hanger as I finish my first play through of a campaign with all DLC. I got tired of hearing "ammo explosion detected " in my Atlas. Then having to finish a fight with 2 medium lasers. Which works out if you can hide behind your lancemates or terrain. So i spent an hour last night upgrading 8 Atlas and whatever else for the last few missions of the Cavalier Campaign. We just landed in deepspace to start dealing with Comstar. After what I just did to Black Inferno with 3 Highlanders and a Battlemaster with just upgraded weapons, I'm feeling confident that the final few missions will go well with minor expenses. I probably have enough mechs to do it in maybe 1 or 2 trips back to an industrial hub for repairs. I unfortunately didn't finish the campaign before I got to the Dragons Gambit in the time line. So at some point I may try and do another play through from the beginning and try and do everything chronologically. All the nice mechs you get between regular rewards through the campaign and quests, the reward mechs from dlc and battlefield salvage are really helpful later in the campaign. So should make for slightly easier completion of the rest of the multi part Quests that come with campaign and DLC. Then after that, its a mercs life for me. Lol But yeah, after watching your videos, I realize I was already doing some of the customization you were. So after developing some tactics. The modifying the mechs, i think its now time to experiment with the smaller sb laser variants. As you've pointed out. It might look like less damage on paper until.you factor in heat and rpm. So, still much learning to do.

I just got this. Did not have any LL-SB so i used ppcx. Not as much heat as the normal ppc. Also downed the lrm10 to a 5 to help make up for the cost of the two ppc. Also have a little less armor. Not tired it out yet but heres hoping it makes an ok ai mech.

Ive noticed with a few of the 70 ton and up mechs they have less armor than they should. My philosphy for mech armor is this, and in only a few cases do I stray. Mediums i like 300+ to max armor. Centurion is tough until you get your hands on doubke heatsinks. Heavys need to be mid 400 and up to start. So max armor is usually 464 or so when I get done with a Marauder or a Warhammer. Max armor on all my heavy and assault mechs when possible. I usually keep stock armor and structure. I dont see a need to fine tune armor. Although othrrs do. Maybe in the future. But there are a few mechs or variants of mechs Iwont even field unless I have to. My lance can pilot them. Certain Cyclops, Zeus etc. Which have less than 400 stock. I usually end up running up and getting pummeled babysitting the rock stupid AI. So i need max armor. So of these mechs fall short of my standard opersting philosophy. I'm on PS5 so I cant make my AI any less stupid unfortunately. So as you say, I'm always keeping an eye on them while Im doing my own fighting.

Love this build, she performs quite well although question should I only do Multiple Mission Ops when I have enough mechs in my garage, it seems to be quite a handful when I have limited mechs, not to mention I'm very picky on what factions to attack(not ever touching House Davion) I'm still trying to get the handle of this game as it seems quite much right now still, and trying to save as much credits as possible but, I keep bouncing back n forth in areas to try and find good weapons and mechs that aren't too expensive. I currently have 7 mechs in my game right now and my Rep is 7, I have two HBK-4Gs, WVR-6R, CN9-AL, ENF-4R , GRF-1n, and of course the badass WHR-6R. While the Warhammer performed quite well it appears the other mechs in my lance will soon become obsolete, what should I do because right now, I'm just pulling my hair out I really want to get into this game but it appears later on it just becomes impossible without a lance group and having the right kind of mechs, thank you once again for this awesome build hope to see more from you, Cheers!

I always keep the PPCs, rip out the MGs and replace the lasers with S-Lasers. Rest is armor up and sinks. I deliberately ride the heat because using the PPCs just "feels" more awesome than the dinky lasers. If I could slap big ACs on the Warhammer, recreating somewhat the Hammerhands, I would. Oh I would.

First. Love the mw5 content

My only Question. Why Stick with Single Heat Sinks and Not Double. You got the slots, they weigh the same, but you get even better cooling?

Perhaps you'll answer this in the video, but does this game have the same build parameters as the Battletech game that released in the last few years?

Hoooooooooooooooooow do you aquire target on enemy mechs mine will only aquire on friendlys when I press the button?

Drop all 4 lasers and the SRMs... Add another PPC If you are using stock game, still drop the SRMS and add 4 heatsinks.

Remove 1 PPC, replace SRM6 to LRM 10 with 1 ton ammo, the rest you'll do whatever you want

I always had sour experience with Warhammer it seeems the enemy ai really likes the left side torso more than the ct

12:20 but where is the WHILHELM scream?

#Uglygang is here!!!

Best way to improve the Warhammer for me is: Take the Warhammer and sell it. Than brought an Orion instead😂👍

Me: Time to give SOD2 a rest. I guess no more GitGud. Let me give this MW5 a try... RU-vid: GitGud MW5 upload Me: 😁

Another great build, pity about the mech. The warhammer shall never be forgiven!!!!!!

The stock build is so bad. It just doesn't know what it wants to do, so it does all of them badly. A problem with the Warhammer in general is that you could make a career selling mercenaries replacement arms. It loses them so easily.
