Ah cool.
Almost makes up for that Crate nonsense in the roadmap.

Almost.
But not completely.

It is no Stalking Spider, but it will do. It will do.....

R - Ready!

I will proudly wear that grizzly badge.

If there's one thing I find different between the concept and actaul model, it's that the head is smaller on the model.

[Dee Eight]

Now how about revealing the quirks...or lack thereof...

[Dawnstealer]

GAH! Pop the right torso: check. But still....yeesh, that thing's going to be scary.

always happy for new mechs to kill

[Wintersdark]

Expect none. HGN IIC has none, after all.

[FauAcht]

why is the title called "The Grizzly"? why not "The Kodiak" afterall the mech is named after the kodiakbear, not grizzlybear...doesn´t make sense...or has that sth to do with lore?

Maybe if/when they introduce the Grizzly the badge will be "The Kodiak"?

Even with the normal one, if the choice is between a CUAC20 torso or a 2xA-SRM6 torso, that's a hard call. I would probably still try to take the gun out, but those SRMs will still pack serious hurt.

And depending on side torso squishiness you'll likely find the lasers on the same side.

I mean, a 3/3 ERMLas setup would work fine, across both arms. 2 ASRM6 and 3 ERMLas is still respectable. The other option being 3 ERMLas and a UAC20. Plus whatever you decide to stick in the CT. Which is probably going to be a Large Pulse Laser. Still a terrifying amount of firepower. 58 damage, or 54(74)? Pick your poison.

when losing half your mech leaves you with lpl/3erml and either a uac20 or asrm12.... Lol.

Either way, this is NOT the mech to spend a lot of facetime with, no matter what you're riding.

The badge says grizzly because Kodiaks are a sub-species of grizzly bears which is the name for all north american brown bears.
