GBO2 Gundam Mk-IV: 600 cost stealth general?!

- This video contains two recent rated matches I had with the LV1 Gundam MK-IV on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 600 cost general with great overall damage, long melee reach, good stun options, access to both LV1 Stealth and Fake Beacon along with having nice mobility. Its weaknesses would be having only 17500 HP, being large, having no Maneuver Armor skill, the downswing being a little slow and it having only 65 thrust. This suit seems really trashy at first and while I don't deny that it has a few crippling weaknesses, I think it can actually perform surprisingly decently if used on the right map where you can abuse stealth. Both these matches went pretty well, so I hope you enjoy watching!
Its primary weapon is a beam rifle with 2350 power, 6 ammo, 5 seconds cooldown, 15 seconds reload, 0.77 seconds swap time, 350m range and 10% stagger value. It has low stagger value but the cooldown and damage are pretty great. It is easy to start combos with this rifle.
Its primary melee weapon is a hyper beam saber with 2750 power, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 0.5 seconds swap time, 60% combo modifier and 140% downswing modifier. This has excellent range and damage but the downswing is a little bit slow. It can still be confirmed fine off stuns though.
Its first sub weapon is an INCOM beam cannon with 1000x3 power, 50%x3 heat, 300m range, 15 seconds overheat, 0.77 seconds swap time and 35%x3 stagger value. This is mediocre on its own since every shot needs to hit to stagger, but it pairs excellently with your beam cannon to more easily confirm stuns.
Its second sub weapon is a beam cannon with 2000 (2200x2) power, 65% (45%x2) heat, 350m range, 2.5 seconds cooldown, 17 seconds overheat time, 0.77 seconds swap time, 2 seconds focus time and 60% (50%x2) stagger value. This has good damage and stagger accumulation but needs to charge to instant stagger. It also suffers from needing to stop to fire and firing from the left shoulder, which can make it awkward to use.
Its third sub weapon is a head sensor unit with 100% heat, 300m range and 30 seconds overheat time. This sends out an AoE ping that jams the enemies radar similar to what EWAC Jegan can do, but it does not mark the enemy. It also only pings once, which makes it not really that useful.
The LV1 Gundam MKIV has 17500 HP, 16 ballistic resist, 28 beam resist and 22 melee resist. Considering it is similar in size to the Gundam MKV and Doven Wolf, this is pretty awful durability. It has LV1 Emergency Evasion but lacks Maneuver Armor, despite its large size.
It also has 135 (138 including ground affinity) hover speed, 220 boost speed, 65 thrust and 69 (75 including ground affinity) turning speed. This is pretty nice mobility for 600 cost but it is nothing really special either. It has LV2 Forced Injector and Flight Control as is standard.
The MKIV benefits from having a whole range of extra skills though. It has access to the rare skills LV1 Marker and LV1 Observational Data Link, but it also has a unique skill called LV1 Special Infiltration Device. This lets you toggle the suit between having LV1 Stealth or LV1 Fake Beacon active. Fake Beacon isn't all that useful, but Stealth can be great for ambushing enemies from behind. Like the MKV, it also has access to LV2 Power Accelerator which allows it to boost away from melee clashes much sooner.
Overall I think that the Gundam MKIV is kinda weak but fun at the same time. It has a unique playstyle which involves flanking enemies with LV1 Stealth and high mobility to launch melee attacks on unaware enemies. But in a direct fight I think it is gonna be at a big disadvantage due to lacking any sort of stagger resistance. I fully expect this suit to be buffed in the coming months with more HP and the Maneuver Armor skill. I can't really recommend rolling for this suit in its current state considering that the 5th GBO2 Anniversary is coming soon. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!

I've wanted this suit added for a while. I was hoping its cost was lower so that we had a relatively low cost incom MS, but I'm still happy that it's here. I'd still like an official Bandai High Grade release of this design, but given how they're being so cautious with their releases, we'd all be very fortunate if it even came out as P-Bandai.
why are they being cautious?
@@speedbird1668 Bandai have been losing confidence in model kits for designs that won't immediately appeal to the largest demographic possible. If they have any concern over a model kit not selling the maximum possible numbers, they either don't bother or just consign it to the P-bandai gulag. It's why we're seeing more and more original designs shown up on the P-bandai site rather than just recolors. The MG Stark Jegan - one of the coolest grunt suits to be seen in an animation - was made a P-bandai exclusive.
8:54 that downswing not dealing damage was a heartbreaker :(
The counter from that MP ZZ at 10:28 is why i dsilike this game sometimes
at least the damage registered but I don't understand why the counter did too after the slash connected
Yes , I have that too
Never ceases to amaze me how broken it is sometimes, same with hitboxes...
Nice matches; you showed off the suit well. I honestly thought this suit would get the shield booster skill considering that it's a precursor of the Mark V and that the shield looks visually similar to the Mark V's shield. Looking at this gameplay, I think it would be a perfect buff to give it decreased thruster consumption and maneuver armor.
Shield booster might be too much but I would definitely take maneuver armor and some extra HP. Maybe instead of shield booster they could give it the LV2 version of that skill that reduces thrust consumption on boost start-up?
Kinda sad that we've reached a point where lack of MA is a weakness in 600...
TBH for a huge suit like MKIV it isn't ideal to lack it
@@avenger1_gbo260 True. How big is it exactly? I watched this on a small screen so I can't really tell.
@@r1l426Just compare it to the other suits on screen.🧐
@@r1l426 atlas height is 18m
Just by looking from what i see, mk-4 is a 20m, so its nu or sazabi height
@@somechinesedude5466 it's honestly not that big then, the Rezel is around the same height.
Man dude, I just started playing the PC version and I think "Maybe if I just watch more skilled people I can learn from them" But this is leaps and bounds different than what im doing, you move so much faster than I can and U peak corners so much better. Thanks for your content brother.
That down swing is beautiful god damnit. Lol.
I just pulled this yesterday with my daily pull and the design is pretty goofy but it’s really good
You're cookin', my good sir! ❤
🤗🤗🥰🥰
I saw the buffs for this months. What do you think about the buffed suits?
Ground Gundam good but could be better, GM WD not enough, Sniper II good but could be better, Gunner Gundam not enough, Hambrabi good, Rick Dias II good, Modified Rick Dijeh too much, Despada good. I feel like they buffed less suits than usual this time around, maybe cause we only got buffs for 300 costers, 400 costers and 600 costers.
hold up it dosnt have the shield booster like the mkV didnt have in the beggining?
Yep no shield booster
This livery is familiar. I met you today!
GG!
Salut, je peut savoir ce que tu lui met comme améliorations stp ? Merci
I hate hover suits so much
Why?
@@TheLurkerAtTheThresholdbased on my experience they extremely agile in space, but really hard to control on ground
10:27 I hate this game netcode.
Is it worth it ?
Short answer, nope.
Long answer, it's not great and the anniversary suit is lile next week or so
It is sorta ok but this suit will definitely be buffed in the future. And yeah like what the commenter above is saying, the anniversary is next week.
