lets see...

more hardpoints than any other IS assault mech...
lots of ballistic points cappable of twin heavy ballistic (first for IS)...
very fast torso with a huge twist range...
favorable weapon quirks...
short low profile...

yehp. dat ting DOA fo' sho'

Some of the Stalkers also have 10 weapons hardpoints and it still has less than the Dire Wolf.

First IS ASSAULT that can run twin heavy ballistics.

I think it's going to need that torso twist because it's such a wide target. The King Crab will probably upset a lot of teammates when it blocks so much fire. Moving through buildings on River City is going to be quite the challenge.

If the quirks are considered too good, they will probably get toned down later.

Top mounted missile and energy meaning it can't fire below its face with them. Wide arms meaning hard to fire at face hug range.

Guess the Xenos knew how to kill the crab before we did.


Hug the face and melt it.

Pinched.

Yea I am not finding it near being OP at all... to be honest I think it is pretty decent but actually not stand out great.

Very easy to CT them, like the dires where originally. Even with the good twisting they have.

Agreed, CT'n the Crabby man isn't that hard, easiest way to drop them honestly.
