Look at those ballistic mounts.

2 UAC2s, 6 tons of ammo, and even room for a JJ, is you are willing to shave .5 to armor off the arms.
(Or toss on a Charlie arm, lose a ton of ammo and add ECM)

There is nothing about the Kit Fox that cannot be forgiven, now that we know we've got the C-variant's EW arm. I'm already pseudo-prototyping a ghetto Clan-tech Hellspawn in Outreach. An LRM 'Mech with its own ECM protection that's not a 100-ton plodding Derp-O-Tron? Mein Gott in Himmel, yes please! I will aggravate ALL the players!

Yeah, AC 2s. In the torso versions I have tried thats all you will get fitted there, no room for larger ACs.


I do not think dual 2s will be an effective sniper.

Dual ultra's make one hell of a suppression mech.

Yeah, was thinking it would probably be a better sniper with one PPC than the ACs....but the high shoulder mounts are an added plus if you go this route.

Not really a sniper, and I have to admit those devil-horn CUAC/2s look awesome and provide one hell of an advantage for such a little guy…but I’ve got a horrible bastardization of the thing configured with 2x CERML and a CALRM-15 w/2t ammo in Outreach (CURSE YOU GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT). As well as the Charlie right arm with ECM and all three AMS, as well as 3t AMS ammo. And four of the Sierra’s six jump jets. With the stupid-long range of the CERMLs and ECM coverage on the tiniest LRM carrier everz, I could support a main push with serious ECM/AMS coverage, or I could operate on my own and guerrilla warfare my way into several enemy migraines. Sure, I’m Jenner/Firestarter food, but if the Kit Fox has the Tiny movement profile it damn well ought to, and I slap in both the AMS boosting modules as well as Target Rejection, once I get up to triple module slots, and make the ULTIMATE aggravating jerkface light.

600+ rounds of ammo and insane RoF. You rely way too much on FLD.

the RT might. It is not full of DHS like the LT,.

more "reasonable" build is UAC2 with 2 tons ammo, 3x AMS w/2x ammo, 3 ERMLasers, ECM, Max armor.

You can also get a CUAC/10 w/3t ammo in the Kit Fox-S right torso (well, the gun goes in the right torso. The ammo goes wherever you find room), with 2x CERML in the Prime left arm and the Charlie's right arm with ECM. No jump jets or AMS, and also more or less stock armor, but it's an ECM-equipped 30t 'Mech with an Ultra AC/10 and 14 points of laser damage. Could drop to CERSLs and pick up a couple of jump jets, but you'd miss the range on those mediums something fierce with how fragile the Kit Fox is. Nevertheless, 30-ton CUAC/10 'Mech Ahem:

SUCK IT, URBANBRO.

2 CLRM15 w/ 5 tons of ammo, 2 MGs with .5 tons of ammo, 1 CERML and ECM seems pretty respectable for a 30 ton 'mech. Near max armor. Food for other lights, but lot of LRM tubes for a 30 tonner. It has a truly ridiculous looking arm.
