I have been playing this game for two years. I have 130 mechs in the hanger, half of which I actually use. I don't sell any of them because many have skins I paid for with real money. That and they are kind of like a merrit badge or trophy case to me. They also have a little bit of sentiment to them of past times in MWO. I have weapons, engines and modules to load out my mechs twice over (I never sell anything). To get to the point, I feel less inclined to pay for mech bundles when I really only want one of the mechs. Mech bundles seem to be getting less of a thing to be excited about. I would love to give PGI more money. However, I feel their early access wall is a bit steep. Buying a le carte is a rip off. It doesn't make sense to me, paying 15 extra bucks for the same content as a bottom tier pack for 20 bucks. So I can wait until they are released for cbills.

Time to break out the mechs I already have but never use and make a personal challenge. It's gonna suck but I will make these mechs work. Some of the ones I never play are:

Locust
Stalker
Victor
Shadowhawk
Orion
Enforcer
Quickdraw
Myst Linx
Ice Ferrit

If any of you have successful builds for these guys. Post em for me. Im finishing up Wave 3 pilot trees this month but will be going back to some of the older mechs over the next 6 months.

To paraphrase Dr. Emmett Brown, "when this baby hits 169 kilometers per hour... you're gonna see some serious sh*t."

My Commando going past at 171?

That's just complete mis-engineered BS.
^ and that is just insane amounts of jealousy, because I will never forgive the Commando for being faster than the Locust...

Which variants of Shawks you have? The 2H is usually used with dual AC5s + back ups.

I hear ya. I have no interest in buying more mechs at the moment. I have more than I need and the ones I have I'm ok with. Buying with c bills from here on out until they come out with some different micro transactions.

Anyway... a 3 small pulse and 2 srm4's has been my mist successful build with the most lynx. Alternatively, 4 small pulse or 4 er mediums.
Edit. Bwahahaha. .. autocorrect. I'm not even going to fix that!

Any particular variants of those mechs? I have all the Shadowhawks, all the Locusts but the 3V (I'll grab it soon), all the c-bill Orions, all the Enforcers, and 3 Ice Ferrets. (I also have 3 Mist Lynx, but... ugh. Those things are rough.)
