Jaeger

MEC variant of the Sniper class. The Jaeger is designed for fire support, with the best aim progression of any class in the game (tied with the Sniper), and a plethora of offensive perks to increase damage. Jaegers' main drawback are their low HP progression and a poor selection of defensive perks, making them a bit fragile for MECs.

Primary Weapon: MEC Primary Weapons

Secondary Weapon: MEC Secondary Weapon Systems

 ==Tactical Advice==
-These MECs are weak enough to be almost squishy. They are not designed for front-line combat roles like the Goliath. Instead '''Squadsight''' and '''In The Zone''' make for an extremely effective damage dealer at mid to long(ish) ranges. The Jaeger has the best aim progression of all MECs.
 == Sample Builds ==
-===Long-range ITZ cannon===
-LCPL: '''Platform Stability''': Adds aim and crit chance to every action in the ITZ chain, if you fire without moving.
-CPL: '''Executioner''' : ITZ chains often involve finishing off wounded targets.
-SGT: '''Ranger''' : ITZ needs raw damage, and Ranger provides it.
-TSGT: '''Squadsight''' : Core perk. Allows the Jaeger to fire from beyond visual range, enabling this extreme-damage but squishy build.
-GSGT: '''Bring 'Em On''': More damage, but only on crits, which you can't rely on for ITZ. Either of the other perks works as well - Repair Servos to take a hit, Shredder Ammo for utility on turns you can't take advantage of ITZ.
-MSGT: '''Vital Point Targeting''' : ITZ need damage to continue, adding more damage. '''Lock N' Load''' is also a good choice.
-This build is pure glass cannon, so it should engage from the rear of the battlefield.  Squadsight requires some skill in maneuvering the unit just outside the enemy’s sight range (18 tiles).  Don’t forget to bring some cover-destruction and shredder rockets with your squad in order to take full advantage of ITZ.  Give the Jaeger a Battle Computer and Tactical Sensors for increased aim and defense.  Since this build won’t benefit from most MEC secondary weapons, give it a Restorative Mist for a more supportive role, or Grenade Launcher to help with cover destruction (or just don't equip anything at all).
-===Short-range ITZ flanker===
-LCPL: '''Sharpshooter''': Adds crit chance to every action in the ITZ which is important for reliable killing power.
-CPL: '''Executioner''' : ITZ chains often involve finishing off wounded targets.
-SGT: '''Lone Wolf''' : ITZ needs high aim and crit chance to be effective, and this build will almost always be at least 7 tiles away from the team.
-TSGT: '''Aggression''' : This perk is crucial for enabling flanking shots to have 100% chance to crit even after multiple ITZ kills.
-GSGT: '''Bring 'Em On''': This perk pulls the rest of the build together, with this you should, in most cases, have a 100% chance to instantly kill most organic targets if they are flanked.
-MSGT: '''Vital Point Targeting''' : ITZ needs damage to continue, adding more damage. '''Lock N' Load''' is also a good choice.
-This build is an agile glass cannon, so it is best suited in a high mobility MEC platform. This unit operates on the principle that everything it shoots must die, it can move for multiple flanking shots, and then move back out of the enemies sight. The best gear is that of increasing crit chance and damage. A Scope, Targeting Module, and Battle Computer work nicely. It's even also a good idea to equip this unit with a Pulse Lance for increased crit chance.
-===Mid-range ITZ Tank===
-LCPL: '''Platform Stability''': + aim / crit %.
-CPL: '''Executioner''' : + aim / crit %.
-SGT: '''Ranger''' : + dmg.
-TSGT: ''' Damage Control''' : +1.5 DR.
-GSGT: ''' Repair Servos''': Auto-repair.
-MSGT: ''' Absorption Fields''' : +DR
-This is a more balanced build that substitutes some of its damage-dealing abilities with tanking perks.  This unit operates within enemy sight range (no '''Squadsight'''), and it can take a punch or two.  Give it a Battle Computer and Core Armoring for increased tanking.  Grenade launchers and proxy mines are useful when you need to hunker into '''One for All''' position.
