    Depends which weapons you have and how you play. Alot of people go the frost blaster big torp route, freeze then deal big damage often their second weapon is a cannon but I've seen grenades too, getting froze then hit with a big torp then a quick grenade means you're almost done for.

    Some people use cannons like blast or explosive and Tesla bolt. So you deal a huge blow then zap with Tesla bolt so they can't return fire and speed away or let your cannon cool down for another blow.

    I've seen a few use carronade, which seems useless but at point blank range does major damage.

    I use two mortars, which I've never seen anyone else use on speeder. Speeder allows me to position myself to deal mortars from afar and speed away to reposition if approached by a fleet, often people don't even see me as I flank them from behind. Screenshot_2017-09-05-07-41-36.png

    Also with a speeder you want to make sure you utilize your yellow and blue spots appropriately. At MK 4 I used overboost and turbo for yellow and turbo and bandage in blue. This let me really speed around and get behind my unfriendliness to hit with my big torpedo and gernade. I would have used blast cannon but RNG does not want me to have that weapon.

    Once you get to MK5 you can add a frost or Tessa bolt. I recommend Tessa bolt as it is more reliable to hit then frost blaster and can allow you to escape quickly.

    I am at MK5 now so I use tesla, OB, and Nitro. I tried frost blaster but definatly like the tesla bolt better.

    Personally, I don't think the Nitro is worth it on a speeder. With my off the shelf t1 rare overboost and turbo, I'm fast enough to clear blast areas, even from a standing start. And for avoiding other weapons the Tesla Shield gives you a much longer period of protection without having to perfectly time a jump. For mobility, overboost wins hands down.

    I'm not saying it's all bad, but I think there are better options for that yellow slot.

    I'm mk4 speeder which has 3 yellow slots for 2 items
    I have a t3 rare turbo, t3 rare overboost and t1 rare nitro all maxed with some perks and crew training bonus.
    I tried to play around with frost blaster because I use mortars but the lack of a second boost really puts me in trouble. It's most important for me not to get hit and find spots I can fire from safely

    I think canons offer way more reliable damage than torps. Something like explosive cannon + sniper/flare gun is great. I prefer the sniper since you can snipe from far when you are low on health, thus allowing you to contribute rather than just sit and hide

    Here is the biggest thing. The speeder is a really fun boat to run mainly because you don't just camp and fire. You can load it up with multiple weapons and builds and have a lot of fun in the game. I personally was getting really frustrated as a shooter and I switched to the speeder and had a ton of fun. I run torpedo because I lucked into 3 epic big torpedos. If you have a big epic you can level it will work great on a speeder. Have fun sprinting around the bay while all those shooters sit still and wait for you to hit them.

    Grenade Launcher + Standard Cannon is a great choice if you're fast enough to avoid damage and focus on weakened targets. I loved that setup with an OB and Tesla Shield, as an MK4 Speeder. Grenade is so fun to use and does great damage.

    That is a really risky setup on a speeder. Might be difficult to take out any unfriend speeders in 1v1. No cannons for me is like no weapons. I'm not good with mortars or torps. Trying to work with a torp but it's really tough to actually connect. I usually end up targeting some unfriend and hitting some poor soul who wasn't even in my view. Whatever works I guess.:D

    1v1 against speeder I almost always lose unless I catch them from afar,
    1v1 vs shooter or defender I usually win with enough time even if they have much more health, I stay far away and lead mortars, they're slow.
    Enforcers can be tricky if played by an experienced person, they move differently and are dodgy.

    I play entirely different than a traditional speeder, it has worked so far, I'm almost in Ace league in a mk4, very rarely see another mk4 there.

    I always wanted to try Napalm+blast cannon, but never really got a good napalm.

    I have couple of blast cannons on my mk4 speeder with OB and nitro. With this setup i usually have to wait for my chance to get in close range with unfriendlies. Afyer you are in range - Hit em, run away (or revolve around em if 1v1), wait for reload, hit em hard again. Very simple, eh?
