Splat TBR > Spirit Bear

Spirit bear sees your splat, and raises you an autocannon.

KDK-3 -

XL375, 4xUAC5 (10T ammo), 4xERML, TC5, about 17 total DHS. (ES)
XL375, 2xUAC10 (4.5T ammo) 2xUAC5 (5.5t ammo), TC5, 15 DHS (ES, FF)
STD300, 4x Gauss (9t ammo) (ES, FF)
XL350, 4xUAC5 (10T ammo), 2xLPL, 18 DHS, TC1 (ES)

Dont really care about other variants, tbh ill probs end up selling most of them once it comes out for cbills, so i can buy more of the -3 variant... Hero should be fun from time to time though.

You forgot 2x Gauss, 2x LPL for 56 damage alpha at 660m range.

Actually, he forgot 4xUAC10.

Well yes, both of those too - though i personally prefer the UAC5/UAC10 mix to 4UAC10s on a dire, because it runs so much cooler (and will allow tonnage on the KDK for a big TC to improve projectile speed, at the cost of 1 extra UAC5 on the Dire build)

Damn, i wish i could petition PGI to sell me another pack of 3 more KDK-3s, i hate rebuilding mechs all the time.

You mean you wish they would allow us to save loadouts...

Id still have 2+ minute save times...

Also, saved loadouts is a minefield, because you have to make sure that you have sufficient weapons/modules/cash (for ES/FF swapping) around at all times to select any of the loadouts. I see why we don't have it.. PGI arent about to make equipment cost nothing.

edit: sure its possible to implement, but tricky.

the dissappointment will be strong here

Wait:
- You/we know the stats and variants
- You/we know the hardpoint locations
- You/we know the model
- You/we know some special game mechanics involved (Clan Battlemechs, MASC, etc)

If you will be disappointed, the error will be yours and yours alone.

Yeah, this. Instead, they're giving us an extra KDK1, which is worthless, as its just a straight laser vom build.

The SB and KDK3 desperately needs multiples, especially the KDK3. 2xGauss+2xLPL vom is a very powerful build, along with 4x cUAC10 and 4xcUAC5s+laser vom. That's 3 builds there!

I'd rank the chassis like this:
1) KDK-3 - many viable builds thanks to the 4x ballistics
2) SB - MASC!
3) KDK-1 - Base laser vom on the base package
4) KDK-4 - For the 2x ballistics, but starving on laser hp, and gotta fork out money for it.
5) KDK-2 - Would be the worst, but for JJs
6) KDK-5 - Like KDK 1, with more hardpoints (which you'll never use), but you gotta fork out more $, which makes it worse.

Those mother fricking top ballistic slots on the KDK-3 better populate first.

Doesn't look like it on... what I assume is... the KDK-1? It looks like it's in the lower slot.

Yeah I know it'll be that way. Just venting to rush myself into the acceptance stage.

Man. The 3D model has put me off a tad. The height of the shoulder pads and head just seem a little nkr compared to the artwork.

[BattleGnome]

This thing looks like much lulz, but what I'm still wondering about is this: What is its maximum torso twist angle?

That could determine the lulz or ruin everything.

well, im actually vaguely tempted by the KDK-4, because 2xLPL, 2xGauss, STD350 with a dead shield side is completely doable (5-6t ammo, 15-16 dhs).. you can do the same build on the KDK-3 though...

I don't see it being more than 70 degrees.

Definitely a bargain for $20, to get 3 variants of a 100 tonner. And they all come with an XL400!

This!!

The Kodiak will be really expensive to level but it looks awesome!

"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are now at six days until we reach our destination. The staff would like to apologize for the salmon refreshment table massacre that occurred yesterday, apparently some of the bears have MASC and we did not anticipate that said bears would be able to catch up with the train and consume it's passengers."

"Survivors are encouraged to join us in the forward cabin for today's continental breakfast, picnic baskets! That's right, feel free to pick up your complementary picnic basket and return to the viewing windows for any sightings as we continue through Kodiak country. Each basket is full to the brim with aromatic delicacies enjoyed by Kodiaks. Due to recent loss of life on the train, passengers traveling with a family of four or more may pick up two picnic baskets."

I like this thread! It's like Snowpiercer but with robot bears and cynical internet dwelling, online gamers!

But the KDK-2 has Jump Jets and could be a solid jump sniper.
