==Overview== <section begin=description/> The ''HBK-4G'' is focused towards being a ballistic weapons platform and is capable of mounting a massive [[AC 20]] or [[Gauss Rifle]] in its right torso. With an equal number of energy and ballistic [[Hardpoints]] though, the ''-4G'' is able to put more emphasis on either weapon type, to a degree. <section end=description/> The ''HBK-4G'' was one of the four [[Founders]] BattleMechs, which featured a unique skin and a 30% [[Image:Cbill.png|x12px|link=]] bonus. ===Stock Loadout=== Its [[Autocannon 20]] is capable of disabling light mechs in one shot alone while the [[Medium Laser|Medium]] and [[Small Laser]]s provide reliable back up weaponry. If there is a failing with this machine, its that its pilot may become too confident in its abilities and try to tackle 'Mechs above its weight class. ===Strengths=== * Possesses an impressive torso twist angle, up to 144Β° after the [[Efficiency|Twist X Efficiency]] has been fully upgraded. This is very useful in order to keep the torso mounted ballistic weapons on target while in the middle of a brawl. * Arm mounted energy hardpoints allow the ''-4G'' to track faster targets accurately while a head mounted energy hard point provides a last ditch weapon should all side torso and arm mounted weapons be destroyed. ===Weaknesses=== * Concentration of most of firepower in one location. The right torso is often targeted and due to its size, can be hit from both sides of the 'Mech. Once this location is destroyed, only the left arm and head mounted weapons remain. * Its large head hit box is another concern as it can be hit relatively easily from the front and left side. * Limited tonnage of the ''-4G'' means it will be difficult to mount three ballistic weapons of any type other than [[Machine Guns]] or [[Autocannon 2]]s. <br> * Maximum [[Engine]] limit is lower than most other Mediums(275). {{Online Mech Lab}} {{Template:Hardpoints Table |selected=Medium Mechs }} {{Template:Chassis Comparison Table |selected=Medium Mechs }}
