Special instead of hard attacks

[Ria]

Hard attacks are more useful for dealing damage, they're more reliable as regards hitting your opponent. Regardless of the amount of hits a weapon does, the special will still hit less than normal. Plus mechs aren't that strong, as a rule. You'd probably do more damage using a saber-style weapon or something.

It's still a satisfying feeling hearing a mass of laser bullets hit your foe over and over
