You're 4 tons too heavy when you include the required 4 heat sinks you forgot.
EDIT:
Whoops.. Sorry, 6 tons.

I only see 4 heatsinks, you need the minimum 10 heatsinks to be legit.

unbeatable because it cannot join a match in the first place?

It is actually possible to run an lb10x with 1 ton of ammo on that locust. It actually has custom geometry for it.

And here's a picture:Posted Image

That's with an XL125, 5 external heatsinks, and one ton of ammo.

And the only way you'll get kills is hide all match then go to crit mechs when others have stripped their armour.

The role of the locust isn't to kill things I've learnt that after alot of matches losing 1v1 to ravens and spiders.

I want to like it but the locust really suffers from the fact it'***** boxes work unlike spiders so even a single hit can cripple you.

It also has geometry for double AC2s. You can't even use those. After adding an XL100 and 6 heat sinks, you only get half a ton for ammo, which does not exist (yet?)

I really want to see ammo in half ton increments. It would help a lot of my medium and light mech builds :P

Wouldn't the gauss show up on it in the mechbay, even if you can't actually launch the mech?

The only unbeatable Locust, is one without an engine. It can't be beat if you can't deploy it LOL.

I do like the Locust, but she is a tricky mech to do well in.

BTW. Even if you can fit a LBX10 in a locust, do you really want to go 100kph in one?

Locust shot me Shadowhawk with a ERLL yesterday. I shot him back. He died, I moved on.....

Felt it had to be said that is all.

Thank you.

I never said it was a viable build. I just know that it's technically possible.

A better insanity build is the double AC20 Cicada. That one can actually be dangerous in its short, short life.

OP is correct. You cannot beat something you cannot fight against, hence unbeatable locust!
