Gauss Vomit: Combining the medium/long range lasers of Laser Vomit with a Gauss Rifle for extra precision and heat-less damage.
Laser Vomit: Uses medium and/or long range lasers such as the cERML, cLPL, cERLL, LL, and ERLL to do massive damage at most ranges.
Skirmishing: Plays at a sweet spot between short and medium range, often using quirks to get the extra range out of weapons like the cMPL, ML, LPL, and various ballistics.
PPFLD: Stands for pinpoint front-loaded damage, uses such weapons like the Gauss Rifle, PPC, and the Autocannons 5, 10, and 20 to get focused damage on a specific spot.
Dakka: Lays down high DPS using rapid-fire autocannons like the AC/2, AC/5, U-AC/5, and all clan U-AC’s short of the 20.
Hybrid LRMs: Uses mostly medium-range weapons with some backup LRM launchers.
Hybrid Brawl: Uses mostly medium-range weapons with some backup brawling weapons (usually SRMs or Streaks).
Streaks: Boats a lot of streaks (almost always clan) and not much else. If the streaks are more supplemental, the build is usually Brawl or Hybrid.
LRM Boat: Boats a lot of LRMs and not much else. If the LRMs are more supplemental, the build is usually Hybrid.
Brawl: Uses short-range weapons such as (c)SRMs, (c)Streaks, (cU)AC/20, ML, MPL, SL, SPL, cERSL, cSPL, (c)MG, and any LBX to do super-high damage at very short range (usually sub-200).
