ACH: 6 SPLs
HBK-IIC: 4x UAC 2s
NTG B: 4x UAC 5s
KDK-3: 2x UAC 10 + 2x UAC 5

Aside from the ACH, I'm just Dakka Dakka-ing my way through this (and if you copy me, I suggest you start light and work your way up - because a few times I was in NTG or HBK and forgot I wasn't a Kodiak anymore and shouldn't just play a game of chicken with enemy Kodiaks...)

light:

formerly "tubes", a jenner iic with 36 srms.
replaced with adder which i bought on sale 2 days ago, 4 srm6s and a medpulse


medium:

1 of the 2 trebs im leveling. both have some combination of large and medium lasers and srms. have bought a pair of doom crows yesterday and will probibly use those instead. configured one as an lb20 + 3mpls, the other has 5 erml and 3 srm6, i haven't run it yet but im sure it will be a hit.


heavy:

the 10 mechs i bought in the heavy mech sale, and a summoner i bought in the clan mech sale. in the course of trying to get my 2x bonuses im sure to get a kmdd. i usually start with one of the 2 timbys and get a kmdd immediately, but some of them are really derpy builds, like an xl engine tbolt with 7 medpulse and 27 standard heat sinks. its actually leveling faster than the others for some reason.


assault:

an almost leveled zeus with 3 srm4s, 2 medpulse and 2 ac5s. when its leveled i will probibly switch to a kodiak 3 (quad gauss slowdiak) or an lb60 troll dire.

In pug q I find relying on brawl builds and spread fire weapons less of an aid to the team's victory chance.

SO

Question is having more players being motivated to play this way (KMMD) help break up the mid range coward poke until other team is down by 6 playstyle?

OR

Are folks going LEROY to get the least threatening easy kill and farm their kmmd for that weight.

I hope it is choice one. I love pushing and not being left alone or shot in the back. I also like the idea of knowing that if I lost damage, I still get some type of reward for doing what is considered good team play.

I always preferred close range brawl over any other ranged fighting. It would be great if people realize they dont need to leroy to get a KMDD, bringing a brawler build and waiting for the right moment attack will probably net you one KMDD or more...

Lights:

OXIDE / WLF-2

Mediums:

[Shiroi Tsuki]

Standard SDR-5K

CN9-A(C) with 2 MPL, SRM 6 and SRM 4

AC/40 Cheese Jager

AWS-8T with 2 SRM 6, 3 MPL and 2 LL

Figured that brawling actually made things easier

I've been running this since early June (6/6 date, my first drop in it), didn't copy from anybody (I love me some MPLs...). Remember this on 7/26? I was running it in that match, too. It's a great PUG mech.

It was the first thing I did with the A. I have about 48hrs (checked and it's an 2 days 23hrs )of play time in 6mpls on it XD.

I'm a little surprised it wasn't the first thing I did considering how much I loved the 5MPL SCR, but I was also late to HBK-IICs since I had new Jenners... Nonetheless, I didn't copy you or anyone else. I have no shame or reservations about stealing builds, but in this case I didn't.
But you're right: It has seemed to catch on lately.

[Champion of Khorne Lord of Blood]

I just run what I usually run, though what I usually run are:

Adder: UAC20+3ERSL
Shadow Cat: 2LPL
Hellbringer: 6ERML

Then the assault is either the Kodiak 3, Spirit Bear, 5LPL Banshee, some crazy Dire Wolf loadout, or an Atlas.

[burns]

L: Jenner IIC
M: Hunchie SP or Nova
H: TopDog
A: Atlas or Stalker (Atlas seems to be working better lately )

Urbie R63 w/ 2xErLL and 3xMG (the only light I seem to be able to hurt people with)

R60L has better Laser quirks. MGs don't use the Ballistic CD.

1.) Dakka Direwolf
2.) Brawler TBR
3.) HBK-IIC-C
4.) KFX-S

[El Bandito]

Adder with lurms.

Kintaro with lurms.

Archer with lurms.

Awesome with lurms.


Too bad there is no Medium class mech with a name that starts with "A".

[Ano]

12 SPL GAR-D seems to be pretty brutal.

[CycKath]

Light = Classic SRM4 Huginn. As always, fear lights in it, but farm so much damage against larger prey.

Medium = Wolverine 7K with ER PPC and 3 SRM6A. Hot but nice thump.

Heavy = Ebon Jag Prime/A/C. Grinding them from Elite to Master whether the challenge was on or not, alternate between.

Assault = Gargoyle D with 3 ERL and 2 ERM. I hate it, but currently 20,500k so one match away from Master and never playing ever again. Then I'll swap back to either Founder Atlas and Loyalty King Crab.

[MOBAjobg]

Light: An Arctic Cheetah with 6x spl and shoot from point blank.

Medium: A Shadow Cat with 2x lpl and shoot from far away in an elevated perch.

Heavy: A Hellbringer with 2x lpl + 3x cerml and peekaboo.

Assault: A Kodiak (KDK-3) with mixed dakka build ...enough said to avoid unnecessary limelight.

[l3elthaz0r]

Light = I don't have any so any one of the trial ones. Jenner IIC has been working for me
Medium = Griffin 2N with 4ASRM6+2ML
Heavy = Catapult K2 with 2 ERLL, 2ML + 1 AC20
Assault = Stalker misery (either 3LL, 2ML + 1AC20 or 2ERPPC,LBX10,3MPL) or Stalker 5M (5ASRM6 + 2 LL)

[Mazzyplz]

light: trial jenner iic

medium: cicada 2b with 2xLPL+3sl scrapped this for a nova prime superstock, cicada is a great team player but nova gets easier kmdd.

heavy: depends- one of my dragon or orion

assault: aws8t with LPL or aws8r with srm; it's easy to get kmdd.

[DovisKhan]

SRM Jenner IIC

Cpulse Stormcrow

LRM Mad Dog

PPC Warhawk

[invernomuto]

• Oxide
  
• Griffin (Sparky with 2LPLs or 2N with 4SMRs + 2 MPLs)
  
• CTF-IM (3UAC/5) or MAD-BH2 (3LPLs)
  
• Kodiak Spirit Bear (LBX-20 + 4 ASRMS6 + 2MPLs - best brawler in the game IMHO, if I get to short range I usually get 2-3 KMDD)

Haven't bothered. Just playing random mechs. Worst mech in the game can easily get 1 KMDD per match.

I challenge you to go at it with stock urbie.

How you get a WLF-2 to have that much fire power?
