Best matches yet in my locust 1e let alone with my unit. Two of those kills were direwolves too. Of to post in yar it be whale season.


Direwhales are the best target for locusts - they are so cumbersome and do not have the turn to be effective at countering a rearcoring locust 1 on 1 lol.

But beware the srm crow.

PHWAHAHAHA!

Oh man, that'd be so...I mean. Wow. Yeah, the Urbies would have to stick together, and the Locusts would end up flying everywhere. It'd be like a herd of turtles that somehow wandered onto a racetrack. Locusts would be crashing into them and each other and exploding in fiery glory everywhere for something like 15 seconds until there is a 9 Locust pileup and the turtles are all like, "wut just happened?"


Dunno...

A swarm of Locust Vs may just cook the Urbies from distance.

Yes, they should be killed at all times by all means necessary! Save the locusts, kill the crows!

Yeah I would take the locusts too. But if they show (blasted autocorrect) super quirked the torso twist on the urbies and you had 12 of them with lb10x it might be close. Unless 12 1v's just fried them from 1000 meters. ;)

If it's builds set up for this fight, then the urbies should be going Gauss against the 1Vs. 12 glorious Gauss Rifles.

Bound to get a little messy when you're sitting hull down on a hill right under a tree.
Nice thing is, the mech now blends in perfectly for Alpine Peaks.

If they would just make an exception on the 10 heat sink rule for this one mech, it would be the most fun build I've ever created. You have about 10 seconds of continuous fire. I gave a stalker almost the full 9 yards, and then took a couple shots at the mechs that were pushing up candy mountain. I like this pic because you can see the guy that killed me. I spent most of the 8 minutes out of ammo, trying to call out intel.

Because I could. I played a match with one AC2, and it was fun. So I thought, if one is good, two must be better. It's true.

You could always use the old 3M/1E (actually, PB can do this too now) PPC joke build. That'd probably own urbies just due to their slowness. Though...gauss urbies vs ppc locusts would be...interesting.
