GBO2 Gundam Mk-IV: The melee powerhouse of 600 cost!

- This video contains two recent matches I had with the LV1 Gundam MKIV on Gundam Battle Operation 2. It is a 600 cost general with good mobility, long melee reach, access to LV2 Power Accelerator, excellent stagger ability, very high damage along with the ability to swap between LV1 Stealth and LV1 Fake Beacon at will. Its main two weaknesses would be that it has low HP despite being quite large, it also lacks Maneuver Armor despite being big. This is a suit that I have no idea how to honestly evaluate. It seems ok at best on paper, but in real matches it feels like it can slaughter with absolute ease. It practically plays like a general version of Gundam MKV, except it is 50 cost lower with higher overall damage and has Stealth rather than Maneuver Armor. Both these matches went pretty well and had really high damage, but the second one had some misplays that might be awkward to watch. I hope that 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 65% (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, 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. This seems poor at first but you can use it to more easily slip behind the enemy with Fake Beacon. Approach with Stealth, jam their radar and then activate Fake Beacon. They are much less likely to recognize you as an imposter this way.
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 by pressing the touchpad. 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 than other suits can.
Overall I feel like the strength of the Gundam MK4 depends a lot on how strong your enemies are relative to you, AKA a noobstomper for lack of a better term. It struggles in head on fights against good players since it is both squishy thanks to low HP and easy to stun thanks to lack of Maneuver Armor, with its radar related skills easier to counter if you have good game sense. But against A+ or A rated players you can basically freely move about with Stealth and Fake Beacon to flank them to take full advantage of your highly damaging loadout, letting you achieve incredible results for a suit that is lacking on paper. I feel like you can even make it kinda work against lower S- rated players if you learn enough of the suits tricks. I think that if it gets buffed that getting +5 thrust and LV1 Maneuver Armor would make it strong without a doubt, but it might not get a buff considering how well it can perform already if the right conditions are met. Thanks for watching, and I hope that you enjoyed it!

There just something about the simplicity of this suit that i just adore.
My only gripe is that I wish the arms were a bit beefier like how they are in the line art
Im soo happy for jesta buffs i kinda wished for active guard lvl 3 since geara doga kai has it and a dodge roll great cideo :)
The downswing on the pilot! 😂
One of my favorite MS’ since it’s release
Are you going to do a video on the buffed hamma hamma?
Yes I am, probably tomorrow. I played earlier today at 700 cost and recorded a 237k damage game alongside a 209k damage game. So expect to see that tomorrow. It feels like it can unironically compete on a level playing field with the other 700 cost supports which is kinda crazy.
Losing that bad when you have an extra teammate... Jesus those guys were somethin else
Love the MKIV and III. Really wish the MK III had a second melee weapon or twin beam sabers at least.
0:06 dong thruster lmao
What do you think about the new special modes?
I only had really bad Matches so far👏
