Gepard

"One of the fastest robots. Considerably outperforms most of the light robots"

The Gepard is a Light Robot with 3 light hardpoints.

It is available at level 1 and costs 1,200 gold. It is currently the cheapest premium robot.

The Gepard has 54,000 hit points, and has a speed of 58 mph making it the fastest robot (at base level). The Cossack for comparison doesn’t reach the same speed until level 7 (however, the Cossack can jump, and jumping is faster than walking).

With 3 light hardpoints, one strategy is to equip a shield combined with two weapons. This allows the Gepard to be a fast beacon capturer, with defensive and offensive properties.

The Gepard is one of the best robots for hit and run tactics, with amazing speed and good firepower. Equipping three SURA-F Pinatas or GAU Punisher will make this robot excel in close range battles. This makes for a powerful combination, as this mech is already good at beacon capturing. This robot can sometimes be seen with three or two EP Magnums and can rip through light and medium robots with relative ease.

Gepards are the most heavily armed light robot. They are theoretically capable of outgunning any other light robot thanks to their three hardpoints. While they are often armed with Pinatas, CRV Pins, or EE Aphids for close range guerrilla tactics, it is not uncommon to see mobile fire support platforms or mobile snipers armed with GEKKOs or AT Spirals. Their agility allows them to dodge heavy gunfire as well as quickly reposition to get into range of targets.

Having hit points that rival medium mechs also allows it to survive better than any other light mech currently available in the game.
