I thought you were going to say... it's the light hero that nobody is looking for.

Only light mech that can carry an AC20 with ammo... booyah!

Your kidding I like the idea of it http://mwo.smurfy-ne...7675db3d4317a21

[RickySpanish]

Well maybe if it had 4 more laser hardpoints...

[Guchion]

RVN-4X

What?

[Dino]

^^ Not a legal configuration. Only 9 heatsinks.

[RickySpanish]

Clearly there are no other small fast Mechs capable of carrying an AC 20 and jumpjets... The bazinga is implied

[Guchion]

Fixed RVN-4X

You can't Quite do it in a spider, and the cicada while a bit more serious, has no jump jets, and is medium.

Is it a good serious build? hell no it dies like {Scrap} and so on.

But its a much better way of leveling that 4x

[Roland]

He's the hero Mechwarrior Online deserves, but not the one she needs right now.
So we'll hunt him.
Because he can take it.


Oh wait, no he can't. He's trash.

I personally love my RVN-4X for kicks with a single AC20 to troll, but that's just me.

[RickySpanish]

I've been considering buying one to put an AC20 on before my new found love for the 3L causes the match maker to gib it

First light mech to have KDR > 1 for me.
RVN-4X
I would stay with the main pack, and then use jets and speed to attack the enemy flank and rear. LrgPulse and MLas tied in same weapon group, 15 pts damage is enough to strip most back torso armor, then use SRM's and MG's in the open torso; a second burst of lasers will do the job if the first doesn't.
Not fast enough to scout, but fast enough to scoot around people who are focused on bigger mechs.
I wouldn't use it in the 12v12 queue, but in Pugland it works better than it looks like it should.

Kill-to-Death ratio of 2 for me in the 4X. Clearly I'm doing something very wrong if it's such garbage.

On the contrary, and you could be waging an apocalyptic war of genocidal annihilation if you were in a better Light. So... basically any other Mech in that weight range that wears underpants (Locusts don't count - they're insects not robots).

[PooHH]

Love this mech, lbx and mlas, ac2 mlas and srm, all sorts of fun to be had. God forbid it isnt meta.

[Blue Hymn]

The builds you people suggest are weak.

Annoyer. This is the true build that lives up to its name - the Annoyer. Follow the group - chainfire - ??? - PROFIT.

I like the 4X so much I bought two, just to run my two favorite configurations:

XL275
2 MLs
2 MGs
ASRM6
4 JJs

XL195
AC20
1 JJ

Not a "tryhard" mech, but surprisingly effective in chaotic PUG matches. Just a fun chassis to screw around in, and gives a sense of accomplishment when you do well in it.

That's what I run. Except I use an LRM5 instead of the SRMs because eff it. I can. Good mech, good speed, good durability. Plus jump jets.

[MeiSooHaityu]

Not my favorite mech, but still prefer it over the Locust 1V...*shiver*

[DONTOR]

In closed beta I used this mech more than even my commandos.
They didnt have a hard 10 heatsink rule.
So I had a gauss with alot of ammo.
1JJ gave maximum thrust.
So i jumped to the top of the highest buildings and sniped the entire game.
It was a seriously great time, and back then you could have more ammo/armor on the AC20 build, because there was no need for the 10 heatsinks. I will always love the 4X.
