The Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle is a variation on the Gauss Rifle a ballistic weapon used by the Clan and Inner Sphere.
+
The '''Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle''' (HAG) is a high rate of fire, low damage per shot variation of the Gauss Rifle used by the [[Clans]]. The technology is based on a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of smaller-caliber Gauss slugs.

The Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle (HAG) <br>
+
With a long reach of 1200m, solid [[Damage Types|kinetic damage]] [[DPS]] and low waste [[heat]], the Hyper-Assault Gauss is a versatile weapon system that performs well in many combat situations. The HAG comes in 3 sizes (20, 30, and 40) each having the same ammo cost per ton. Projectile spread increases the further out the target is, and up close HAG is capable of outputting impressive pinpoint damage.
−
With long reach 1250m, massive kinetic damage and low waste heat, the Hyper-Assaullt Gauss weapon is everything a warrior could want—but heavy. The weapon is especially effective against Vehicles, Battle Armor and Aircraft showering them with 900 shots per minute. Firing multiple projectiles of far lighter caliber though a battery of capacitors, making up for the lack of punch with an extremely high rate of fire. <br> The HAG comes in 3 sizes each having the same cost per ton 1500 cbills:<br>
+
 
−
The HAG 20 is the smallest and lightest of the HAG series. <br>
+
Contrary to other similar weapons, the weapon bar (usually indicating weapon heat) represents the charge level of the capacitor bank. Larger HAGs have more capacitors in the bank and thus more charge, meaning longer burst times.
−
The HAG 30 is the middle class of the HAG series. <br>
 
−
The HAG 40 is the largest and most deadly of the HAG series.

The cooldown time of all HAGs is 16 seconds. Instead, the shorter jammed duration is used to calculate DPS and players are advised to fire until the weapon jams for best results.

The Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle is a variation on the Gauss Rifle developed by Clan Hell's Horses in 3068. Hoping to stay ahead of the increasing technological curve, they apparently used similar design principles to the Lyran Alliance's Heavy Gauss Rifle. To compensate for its drawbacks, however, Horse scientists used a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of smaller-caliber Gauss slugs. The resulting high rate of fire, akin almost to Rotary Autocannons, made these weapons very effective against Battle Armor and Combat Vehicles.

The Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle (HAG) is a high rate of fire, low damage per shot variation of the Gauss Rifle used by the Clans. The technology is based on a series of capacitors and launching tubes to fire a multitude of smaller-caliber Gauss slugs.

Overview

With a long reach of 1200m, solid kinetic damage DPS and low waste heat, the Hyper-Assault Gauss is a versatile weapon system that performs well in many combat situations. The HAG comes in 3 sizes (20, 30, and 40) each having the same ammo cost per ton. Projectile spread increases the further out the target is, and up close HAG is capable of outputting impressive pinpoint damage.

Contrary to other similar weapons, the weapon bar (usually indicating weapon heat) represents the charge level of the capacitor bank. Larger HAGs have more capacitors in the bank and thus more charge, meaning longer burst times.

Gameplay & Hints

  • HAGs are used most efficiently by shooting full bursts until the capacitors go empty (full weapon bar) and waiting for the recharge. Unlike Ultra AutoCannons, that lose DPS for jamming, HAGs maximize their DPS by jamming.
  • Projectile spread widens significantly beyond 500m. Keep this in mind when attempting to target individual components at longer ranges.
  • Kinetic damage offers some bonus damage to air units.
  • Rapid fire and decent projectile damage can be useful against enemy Battle Armors.
