How to exploit the incoming 30%+ light queue of slow walking trash cans? Something with a high pinpoint alpha and decent range to outrange the ac10/20's should do the trick?

Perhaps the good old 2x Gauss/PPC? I reckon dual gauss will be the best choice for dumpstering the dumpster cans. :D

Same way you farm cutefoxes, because they will go the same speed. Except the urbie will be smaller. and can turn all the way around like a creepy horror movie girl and shoot you while running away.

Not mine. Mine will creep up behind you at 36kph like a zombie.

I hear aim is OP.

Though, if you truly are soulless, use Streaks.

The Cute Fox is somewhat fortunate, but silly.

Too bad falls were taken out then like true horror movies the mech would eat dirt as the urbie slowly comes trudging towards the fallen mech before finishing it off.

I vote for the Partyback. Let them do their last dance before they perish.

It will be like a Steven King story.
Farmer plants a new crop, but when he goes to reap the crop he gets killed himself.

Because urbies will f you up boy.

There are few moments more delicious than when the "hunter" discovers he has become the hunted.

So please, toss on your coveralls, Farmer John, cuz this Urbanmech? Is gonna tear you up, son.

For you? I'm not even gonna use lube.

Cool. Been awhile since I got to kill Trebuchets with any regularity. ;)

Anyone who is consciously planning to kill Urbies in a specialized hunter mech or something, should promptly go out and walk into traffic.

Grats on emulating Kramer's most tryhard endeavor, you ******* potato hunting scrubs...

Wannabe Tryhards gotta pad stats somehow....not everyone is as accomplished as shutting down in a corner as a certain Steel Jaguar.

It's just amazing. The Urbie is going to exist in this game solely because it is - apparently - financially practical for PGI to market something that is wholly about 'fun'.

Let that sink in for a sec for all you out there who think the only things the game needs is tangible **** for you to try and min/max around.

When it's presented as such it's pretty much welcomed with open arms. When it's more along the lines of a mech falling flat and DoA, that's a different thing isn't it. Cuz it wasn't presented as trash. Gimmick is key.

Anyways, all I know is, people who want to go out an directly overtly hunt Urbies... I'd ask... do you want people to not have fun with this game? Do you seriously suck so bad that you're consciously strategizing around something that will be underpowered and thus you can slow roll it with your steering wheel? Seriously, just curious what the justification is.

It is astounding to actually be able to shoot lights, since at 35-40FPS they dont teleport around anymore....lol. Ive actually dropped a number of them haha.
