Mechguns can be a RAmars best friend in later levels as their high damage output superceeds their high risk use. I suggest equipping a God/Speed while using them as their cooldown time is horrid. Go oil your joints there pal you're sparkin all over my carpet.

I usually carry a my best "mechgun" type weapon to fight Falz. I'll use my best "handgun" type to take care of the darvants, then when his second and third forms come(the dragon base and the part when his "heart" is exposed as he rolls around the outside of the circle) I'll use the "mechgun" type weapon to get rid of him.
Yeah, whatever you can use I guess. I'm not a fan of them anymore though, I used to use them often, but they tend to just be a pain, since a Rappy Fan can do the job quicker =

mech guns used to be good but they suck now because %'s dont work the same way they did on dc only a select few are good like red mechguns
Mechguns with high hit % are a hunter's best friend in ultimate mines. Melee in ultimate mines is futile, since everything ignores your hits, and V1's enemy hit rules apply.
If you are playing a hunter, better start looking for a nice set of high hit % mechs. Or avoid ultimate mines online altogether.

I found my go-to mech in the V-H Ruins. Chaos Vulcan 40/0/0/35/45. Rarely misses and does hundreds of damage per hit thanks to my decently high HU ATP. Mechs have the most damage potential of any weapon, imo. The area % mean squat for a mech now, tho. Only thing that matters now is the hit bonus.

Mechguns are fun, but FOnewearls + mechguns = death. You wanna know how much damage I was doing with them today, at level 43? miss 0 0, 0 miss miss, miss miss 0!! I thought it'd be helpful, being of the heart-series...

Ditto that. I have a vulcan, and I swear its the best weapon I've got. Its nothing special other than the 45 percent to hit. Its been my best friend in ulti mines. Well...my rafoie helps out too...
Why are those sinows so mean?

S rank mechs were my FOnewm's weapon of choice in v2. Of course, I could hardly hit anything after the forest, but in the forest, I could take out anything in one combo.

I never had a problem hitting anything in Ult mode with my pair (I was a FOnewm also, ofcourse) with 30 s/d + j/z I didn't have any problem, although for mines I used my Huge Fan for it, since it was stronger+%s+wide range

Ah, mechguns. They are my weapon of choice because they take enemies out fast. It took me a while to learn how to deal with the long pause after a combo, but I think I have it down and I don't get hit as often as I used to. The only problem I have now is trying to find some good mechguns with a decent precentage. They seem rather scarce in the GC version. I made it to V. Hard and have been looking all over the place for at least a pair of Vulcans, but so far I've had no luck.
Just as a side note, I have started to carry a long range weapon as a backup since so many creatures in Ep. 2 do status effects. Right now I'm using the highly sexy Visk which looks good with my character. Paired with mechguns, it's a dangerous combination.

only % to worry about now is hit. with base weapon atp as the only factor a 100% mechgun may only give 30 atp in an area!! I am happy to hear that they can work in ultimate. i had to scrap all of my good mechguns from ver 1 because they did nothing in ver 2. but if a vulcan works in ep1 ultimate hurray!

God/Battle... you know what he means.
Mechguns are my absolute favorite now. I just found an 80% native gatling (my first over 50% wep YAY), and yes it owns everything in the forest. wheeeee

It seems that ???/battle units are damn near impossible to find.
I am about to enter Ultimate offline and between offline and online I haven't found a single X/battle unit of any type.
