You know, my Urbie R63 would be ok there.

1 ERPPC, 2 SLasers, 3 MGs with an XL170. It's tiny, long range striker, and still pretty mobile (man that skill tree nerf hurt).

I could take out the 3 ERLLaser Urbie, but I'm afraid Bishop and a few others would hunt me down and impound my Urbies. I'm not even sure they tolerate the ERPOC one (hey, at least it still has a large weapon barrel).

PPCs and LPL are Urbie approved.

Urbie armament has ONE solitary requirement. some form of BFG somewhere in it's arsenal. 12 SLs and 8 MG need not apply. Unless maybe for a Hero variant.

I ran these four Urbie builds on Highlands last night to very good effect (the AC10 build was actually the most successful). The rolling terrain is actually great for them... there are lots of good ways to close distance with the enemy, and the Urbie's high mounts let it poke from relative safety once in range. Since there aren't a lot of 'Mechstopping terrain obstacles, once the brawl kicks off you can abuse your 360-degree twist for fun and profit without worrying about tripping over rocks and roots. The biggest, most wide-open map might actually be the most favorable Urbie stomping ground yet.
