Because it cannot figure our what it wants to do.

In addition to looking like a big toe crossed with a refrigerator, it's one of the few clan mechs packing FF, and Endo, but still manages to suck at life

On paper, to me it looked amazing. Nice top speed, ferro and endo... But the hit boxes ending up being meh, making it super squishy
What I'm looking for here is some build suggestions. Help?

[Simbacca]

I run mine with SRM4 with 3 med pulse lasers. Mind you I only kept the Prime(I) variant. I effectively use the mech for fast hit and fade ops.

[FupDup]

Probably something like 4-5 ERML or 5 SPL.

[El Bandito]

Can't go wrong with CERML boat. Simply cannot.

5 er meds rest DHS. Good mech! Use its speed for strafe runs.

Forget the Prime exists and ignore the Cbill bonus.

5 E hardpoints made it an adequate robot; it can run 5 ERMLs with ~16 heatsinks.
Sadder can do that with 20 heatsinks, (minus 2 PoorDubs, still net superior) but slower.

Not to be that guy, but this thing appears to be the best clan light. I've seen plenty that lose lots of body parts before going down.

If it's not working for you, try one of the above builds in this thread or reconsider your general strategies as a light pilot.

No, it really isn't.



@OP: It's not you, it's the mech.

It's a light mech as chunky as an Atlas Leg, it's almost as tall as an Awesome.


5x CERMLAS or 5x SPLs or better yet play a mech that isn't awful at hitboxes and not jumping and not ECM.

Well, most of its construction choices follow the design philosophy of a light mech rather than a medium mech...it's like a Clan Cicada.

Just like the Cicada, it's a fairly mediocre robbit. Clan superlasers can at least make it presentable, fortunately.

This, it's a Medium class.

It plays like a light though.

Wait a minute. For some reason I thought we were talking about the Hankyu - aka the Arctic Cheetah.

Welp, I'm so tired than in an effort to be that guy I became a *******.

[lol lol lol lol lol lol lol lol]

The only thing its really good for is pissing off people by taking up a medium slot where something better could have dropped with the rest of the team.

Perhaps in an alternate universe where there's such a thing as Battle Value would this mech be useful.. but not in PGI's version of Mechwarrior.

I've used 3 SRM4's and ran down lights with it. AC's are a joke, and lasers work, but put next to a BJ1X or even a Stormcrow you'll see that the speed doesn't justify the amount of suck it brings to the table.

[1Grimbane]

as most players have said the 5 med lasers builds are the best.... forget any srm's on it go med laser all the way, fastest clan mech in the game with solid armor, the best non JJ medium clan mech in the game, super fast and super deadly my ferrets don't need a leash

[TyphonCh]

I just get sick of running all lasers on all variants. I'll try out 5 er-ml. 2 streak 4's and 2 small pulse has been working good so far with all the Cheetahs and Wolfhounds running around

[Davegt27]

I love the Ice Ferret

Out of the 3 two are streak mechs the C above and the other one has streak 6 and streak 4
2 med lasers and 1 small laser

I also have the laser Ice Ferret but I don’t use that one much

I fly around on the battle field

The streaks allow me to run past fire on the fly
PGI seems to have slowed down the game so it’s not as much fun
(You don’t get that feeling of speed you once did)

[Deathlike]

The "Fridge" is great as an energy boat. GI Joe approves.
