This thing is far more effective in PuGs than it has any right to be. Please, help me make it more silly.

ditch the case, drop in another DHS. move MG ammo to the arms. if you lose the MG ammo the arm is already done. more srm ammo to legs and head, front load the armor more, shave just a hair of the armor to get that extra heat sink.
OH i almost forgot paint it cammo black

or drop the engine for the 2 LPL as mentioned. i dropped the ams ammo to 1/2 ton also

in pugs late game a 6xMG can really abuse the crit chart. but hold back on the MGs till you have open components. i might drop the SRM6s to 4s for a bit faster cycle and less heat but this thing is very heat friendly

nice troll build. i did something similar with LRM 10s/15s when KC came out. strip the armor as i closed then rip them apart with MGs

I've tried running with LPLs in the past, but on any map where range is a factor it leaves the KC effectively neutered until i can sneak into range. Which, to be fair, isnt hard to do on most maps with an engine that large, but it is something ive had to take into account for the snow maps and the early stages of canyon. I'm also incredibly uncomfortable putting any kind of ammo in the CT, especially since a KC's CT hitbox is gigantic and hard to protect even with proper twisting.

MG ammo is in the legs so that if i lose a side i wont lose a huge chunk of ammo, or worse, be suddenly dry because of feed priority (which has actually happened when i did have ammo in the arms)

XL engines are a sin in a mech this wide.

i don't even own a king crab but have killed a few and I usually just target the so hit-able CT maybe and xl wouldn't matter that much.

While its true that most KC deaths are to pure CT knockout, people can and will shoot out a ST to a) XL check and b ) eliminate half (or more depending on model) of the firepower on a krab. I know I do.

*Ahem*

KGC-000 The trick, you see, is to sucker them into MG range with your minimum range brackets on your 'main' weaponry.

Toss in LPLs instead for super effectiveness.

My take on this concept. There's enough free space to swap the LPLs for PPCs.

Alternatively, there's this bit of nonsense. Why use MGs when you can use AC/2s?

I guess I'd also drop it down to STD-350 and then drop half ton of MG ammo, and switch to LPL's. I find I get more utility out of a 22-damage medium-range poke stick than an 18-damage long-range one, but YMMV.

Surprised to hear that build works well, but good for you. The reason I'm a little skeptical is that apart from the MG's, that weapon loadout is worrisomely similar to what I run ... in a Shadow Hawk. Posted Image

KGC-000 Swap the lasers for flamers. Laugh as your enemies are unable to return fire on you.
