I don't know if somebody else has asked this, but is there going to be a VS that can actually stand up to to a fully armed PTX-140? I mean, if you go up against it with a GTT-01 more likely you'll get owned. For reference:

Hopefully. Maybe I'm just not the greatest LP player every, but currently my only defense against a Hardballer is the energy gun or hide until the pilot runs out of T-ENG.
I wrote the multiplayer guide on Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. You can use the guide as a reference.

Hardballers (PTX-140) are lethal in their versatility. They match the speed of the Evax, nearly double the anti-gravitational capabilities of a Drio and have the second strongest armor of all vital suits. A brandished VS saw can also one-shot infantry.
Vital Suits
No Vital Suit can truly match the offensive prowess of the Hardballer when both vital suits are equally equipped.
1. Turn the tide of battle in your favor by better equipping your vital suit. Adequete preparation is key to success.
2. Utilize signature attacks. The Cakti drill can heavily dent a Hardballer with little cost to personal survivability. The Haze has the most powerful signature in the game. Its stomp can kill most pilots in two hits.
3. Use the Cakti. It has extremely high defense and packs a stong punch with its cannon.
Infantry
1. Eject the pilot with a fully charged energy gun blast.
2. Eject the pilot with an energy grenade.
3. Joltlock the pilot with an EM laser.
4. Snipe the pilot with a VS Rifle.
5. Strike the pilot with rockets, VS rockets, hand cannon missiles, plasma cannon blasts, grenade launcher explosions or rocket pod salvos.
6. Spam the pilot with dummy grenades.
7. Joltlock the pilot with plasma grenades and run away.
8. Snipe the pilot with a plasma gun.
9. Run away.
10. Shoot the pilot in the knees w/any weapon. Utilize the grenade shot whenever possible.
