Long and Middle range fighting and "get a lot of money" don't go together in this game.

To make lots of Silver and Gold you have to do significant damage AND run beacons. So if you thinking of a setup that avoids close contact (by avoiding close fighting or avoiding bots because beacon running gets you killed), then you will never make good silver/gold.

If you are considering the Raijin, Fujin, or Carnage and want some range, then only the Carnage has the speed to get you into battle position fast (and out of trouble if necessary).

However, have you considered a Rhino with a Tulumbas/CRV setup? The Rhino is fast and it's shield can be used while the Tulumbas reload. The 500-515 max range is functionally long range on the small maps (Dead City, Shentzen, and Power Plant). The bonus if using this setup now is that nothing will be wasted, as you can swap the weapons out for close fighting ones easily and repurpose the Tuls/CRVs other bots when you get to gold/top tier.
