I tried this out and its some serious damage.. currently I have mouse 1 set to chain fire all 4, and mouse 2 set to alpha all 4.
I've found that chain firing allows me to get off 5-6 shots back to back, and alpha is just fun.

you do have to be very careful about heat though, because you'll shut down in a hurry. 300+ dmg matches are easy even if your team derps up the fights.

My fourth mouse button is my chain fire button, but I rarely ever use it, just because the alphas can be so damn fun. There's nothing like seeing that Commando running around, and getting a perfect shot off on him to obliterate him. There was also that one time that I got really lucky, and put the alpha right into the left eye of an Atlas. Hilarity ensued in the chat box.

Kind of a newbie but I bought a k2 as my first mech and have been running it as a gausspult for a while. Been thinking about changing things up though. Think this is a good build?

move the ammo to the legs, drop the case(s) and pick up another ton of uac 5 and put it in the head or side torso. Live dangerous.

Fill the rest out with double heat sinks. (19 dhs)

Build runs a little hot, you can't effectively upgrade any any weapons to ER because of this. But this is my favorite Catapult build so far and I've tried most of them...

No links, but I posted what all was in it a few posts back.

If your a patient mech pilot and can shadow the slowest mech in the group, try this build.. I have found it so very fun!


300 XL engine
LBX 10 x 2
4 Medium Lasers.

Double heat sinks, and Endo steel, and lotsa ammo.. I think I even crammed in a BAP in there to get the occasional spot bonus and to have better situational awareness...

But it fast, agile, can twist well, and is really good at killing anything in the 'light' class wanting to attack that slow mech your shadowing...

Ravens, commandos, and jenners do not like LBx 10's, and two of them spitting lead and add bunch of medium lasers firing, that don't over heat easily, provide great support to the Assaults... in the back ranks..

You just have to know your role to play this well. Doesn't do great against other ALPHA loving heavies or assaults in any one on one role tho...so don't expect much from that.

But if your team gains supiriority in numbers, then this build is quit excellent hunting down the stray mech and blowing off components..fast I might add.


Again... just know your role.

I run a build like this on my K2 as well, except I have the stock fusion 260 engine and near maximum armor. I pretend I'm piloting a Marauder 3D

This is a fun twist on the 4 x LL K2. 2 ERLL in the ears for sniping and 2 LPL in the body for close-in. Nice and elegant.

Hey Pirate,

Nice build!. Might I suggest dropping FF armour and putting in Endo:

Still the same, but gives you almost 2 tons to play with...
