No, No "but I got the panther and enforcer to level!"

pulse lasers.

[Brody319]

Slap 6 Medium lasers and its one of the meanest predators on the field. Can pop in and slam a 30 point alpha where it hurts, twice in a row, and keep running.

I might take the 6SPL 1E out for a spin again, see if it can win back my love after my 1M replaced it.

6 medium lasers works really well too, give that a try if you want.

Oh boy... and can my Locust run!

Tried it, didn't like it.
Duration is too long for me on a mech going 170.
I think that maybe my 3S has a medium laser, and one of my 1V's has an ERLL (the other an MPL) but all my other Locusts have Small or Medium Pulse Lasers so that I know when I fire, most of the damage is goign to hit where I pointed.

my medium lasers fire pretty fast on the 1E. can poke and run.

It's nowhere close to the glory of the old 3M unfortunately.

[Ovion]

ML has a duration of 0.675 with the quirks.
MPL is 0.45,SPL becomes 0.375.

I will try the 6ML build but I think I'll likely stick to SPLs.

But each to their own at the end of the day!

[Y E O N N E]

I've got four ML, two MPL on mine. 32 point alpha, same heat as the six ML. Squishy as f**k, but so much fun.

Wiser build is definitely six ML, though.

I do have to say, the LCT-1M is even more insane than the LCT-1E. Those ML, man...

[Soulscour]

I still use small lasers on mine

I keep posting that locusts are OP

I have 100% magic resistance... when it comes to Locusts.

I tried to master the E1 in that way...for the lol. But no, despite some hilarous alpha, it's not in the locust nature to focus fire so long time going at 170 kph.

Try 6 spl. So many 4*6=24dmg in so little time.

And once again I say; locusts are OP (or over quirked if you want)

Shh, stop telling them, enjoy it while we can.

TBH, haven't played since last patch, but I think Locusts are in a pretty good place atm overall.

Locusts can be fun. I don't have a 1E, but the 3M had done well for me. It might be fragile, but it does have punch before it dies a horible death

[Rhaythe]

Love my 3M. Dual-AMS. 3 SPL, 2 SL. Just feels right to me. And also... weeeeeeee!!

Though, it is still a locust. Even the maps can kill'em.

That reminds me. I wonder when Mining Collective is coming back into rotation. I miss that map.
