Adder with 5 ERML, mostly efficient at getting KMDD from light 'mechs (I find pure streaks boring and bad, especially on the BAdder)

CN9-AH - AC20 with a cooldown module seems to sync almost perfectly with 3 SRM4s

NTG-A - I find this build a lot of fun and it's pretty useful. The streaks are for pesky lights and I almost never use them against heavier since the dual UAC20s are so hot as it is.

AS7-S - CN9-AH's big daddy

I don't keep any 'mechs in my hangar that I feel like I have a hard time getting KMDDs with. So I just tend to look at what weight class I need a KMDD in and just pick whatever I feel like playing. Yesterday it was my Spider 5D with 3 MPLs, my Crab with 6 medium pulse lasers, my Dragon with 2 AC/5s, 2 MLs, and 2 SSRM2s, and my Gargoyle with 2 LPLs and 4 ERSL. Today it was my Urbanmech with 2 MGs and 4 MPLs, my Stormcrow with 6 MPLs, my Warhammer with 6 MLs and 3 SRM6, and my Awesome with 2 PPCs, 2 ERLLs, and 3 MLs.

Streak Adder

Griffin-2N

Atlas-S

[Holdfast]

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

Crab (not sure which one) w/ 3xErLL or my hunchie 4j w/ 2xLrmA10 & 2ML, depends on my mood

Jagermech w/ 4xAC2 or Marauder w/ 3xAC5 and 4xML

Atlas DC w/ AC20 and lots of SRMs

[Kangarad]

DWF-Prime(I) 4xuac5 2xclrm20 nets alot of kkmds
MAD-3R 2xLBX10 and 2x erppc
HBK-IIC 2xUAC 20 put on chainfire and waste away. low ammo count..
JNR-IIC 6xSRM6 hit override at the start of the match. find an enemy and waste away.

[Angel of Annihilation]

Kodiak - pretty obvious choice for raw damage output.
Warhammer - Currently in the process of unlocking its skills these plus they offer a good amount of firepower.
Stormcrow - Seems to easiest medium I have the score a KMDD.
Arctic Cheetah - Also still unlocking its skills plus again good firepower for a light.

This is only because I only have about 1.5 hours a night to knock out the challenge so have to get my KMDD in the first match.

ACH
HBK IIC A
WHMs (leveling them which has been more than adequete at getting the Ws and kills.)
KDK (Which has performed poorly for me this season, I will probably start using a dakka KDK3 because reasons)

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.

Been relearning to ADR (5ML) just for fun, my 6MPL HBK-IIC-A is one of my favorite PUG mechs, any of the NTGs I'm leveling and rotating between two different KDK-3s (dual gauss/dual ERPPC and 2UAC10/2UAC5/2MPL).

I'm going for wins. If your team wins it will have made more dead mechs on the other team so there will be more KMDDs generated for you side. Also losing is for scrubs.

Been seeing people start to copy me in the past month or 2.

[Thunder Child]

ACH-Prime, SPL Build

My Hunchback II-Cs till Basic'd, Quad LB2-x (done), Quad ERML Dual LPL (done), Quad ASRM6.

Jester - Dual LL Quad ML XL 330 Dual AMS. This thing is just vicious. Unless we get rolled, this thing will net me 3-4 KMDDs per match (Not intentionally. If I know for certain that I have mine, I try to let team mates get the kills instead).

WHK-B - Mostly Stock, except swapping the 2 SRM6s for 2 LRM 10s. This thing is surprisingly effective. Especially when the team realises that LRMs on a Narc Beacon is GOOD. Though, Narc is great just for keeping track of enemy movement out of LoS too.

[DGTLDaemon]

For this event:

KDK-3 with 4xUAC10
NTG-B with 3xUAC10
SCR-D with 4xSRM6+3xSPL
ACH-C with 6xSPL

Working fine so far

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.

Yeah, the only novelty for me is that I'm not just leveling mechs solo and running lights in group, which is my usual MO. My first four drops I just go down the line so I don't have to think about it later.
