Gundam GP02 [MLRS]

GBO2 Column #017

This machine did not appear during the GBO2's first anniversary campaign. It first appeared in Sept, 26, 2019 as a gacha pickup. 

The MLRS (Multiple Launch Rocket System) is a symbolic weapon in the name of the machine, but at first it stood out in a bad way, and the user's evaluation of the machine was controversial. Still, as time goes on, I get the impression that the evaluation of this machine has become more popular. Now, more than a year after its implementation (Oct, 31, 2020), this machine is a Support type that is trusted by users under the battlefield rules of 550 to 650 costs. 

In the situation where the only way to get this machine is gacha, it cannot be said that it is a popular machine. However, it will be available for the first time in May, 25, 2020 in exchange for a recycling ticket, and the penetration rate of this machine will have increased. I wrote about that time in the article. (See "Gundam GP02 [MLRS] LV1")

This machine is a Support type unit with an initial level of 550 cost. The iconic weapon, MLRS, is not the main force due to its limited use, but it is a powerful weapon if it can be handled effectively. 

Judging from the type of this machine, it is a machine that damages with cannon bombardment + machine gun. Combat means that moderately stall enemies on the battlefield and provide sufficient firepower are standard support-type combat methods that continue from low-cost machines, and are easy to handle. 

The reason why this machine is active on the battlefield with a cost of 550 or more is largely due to the existence of a huge shield covering most of the machines. This shield makes it easy to prevent the stun effect of the beam rifle, and the fact that it cannot be easily destroyed also contributes to the improvement of survival rate and the ease of attack. In addition, the high-speed movement speed is also high, which is useful for positioning, and evacuation. 

This machine also benefits in a gaming environment. In battlefields where powerful beam weapons are the main force, it is easy to neglect the measures against live weapons, which is the main weapon of this machine. Therefore, high fire power can be expected, so it has a strong presence.

 Compared to the initial implementation, this machine has more rivals that it is not good at, but it is not in a situation where there is no choice for this machine. This is the reason why it is popular as a machine that can be expected to play a certain role in the battlefield where this machine can sortie.
