I know it's totally the wrong way to do things but my OCD won't let a single hardpoint go unused. That being said, is there a viable build that uses all the slots?

Edit: I've got the 000B

Which variant do you own? Filling all the hardpoints and making is viable is no easy task, and most likely not possible, depending on your definition of viable.

Updooted description. I actually didn't fill the arms and put LB's in them but it doesn't seem to be performing.

I just concocted... This... Thingy.

You said use all the hardpoints. Do you mean all the critical slots? Or do you want to have weapon batterys in each torso and arm?

Filling all hardpoints is a terrible way to build mechs. Really.

Well, the arms being the exception to the rule. If you put a big enough gun in them then you can't really put two weapons.

Oh, I know it is. I really do. But at the same time it's like a challenge trying to build something around the hardpoints you're given. The clans get the benefit of being able to choose their hardpoints.

So teach me a thing. I know that spreading around ammo is the thing that everyone likes to do, but doesn't that also increase the amount of limbs that could be potentially critted? I get one advantage is if your ammo goes off in one part the rest of the ammo doesn't go with it. I generally put it evenly split between my arms if I can, my logic being if the guns are going anyways I'm not going to need the ammo and it keeps the explosion away from my CT.

[Roughneck45]

Filling all critical slots this could be okay KGC-000B

Really can't come up with anything that uses all the hardpoints that I wouldn't call terrible if I saw it in game. Picking a King Crab to do it with makes it really hard too. There are a lot of mediums with fantastic builds that use every hardpoint and critical slot.

Wait... Scratch that. That's just my usual 000B.

What about this:

or
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...26f516bb8c4d8ad
Or
http://mwo.smurfy-ne...d81935fd88feeba For ams.

On all I would give a mod CD and Range boost to the SRMS to balance it out. Plus seismic and deprivation.

30 heat alpha. Generally fire the ML's in chainfire and the SRM's if desired also. I'm curious if there is any invisible bloom on SRM's. I wonder if fireing in chain gets better accuracy?

The heat is kind of bad. But I bet when the skill tree comes out this sort of build will be much more desireable. Especially if we have more control over heat.

In fact the SRM's in chainfire will bleed off heat. so basically fire as you get into range. Mass fire UAC/5's till you can add ML's and chainfire those. When heat is maxed start pumping out SRM's in close range in Chainfire if you aren't already. AKA, when everything else is exhausted fire the chainfire SRM's for last ditch DPS. Might need to adjust SRM/UAC ammo though depending on desired usage.

Not going to do much better then this if you need to use ALL the hardpoints.

Probably would try this myself.

KGC-000B

I came up with that in another thread the other day. It has decent damage and decent heat. It's an xl engine though.

LBX/10 x2, MG x2, ML x3, SRM4 x3, 20DHS, 360xlengine. 60.9 Damage base 25 heat alphas. 51% heat management(smurfies value), 4.5 alphas.

100 seconds of base speed lbx/10 firetime and 50seconds of base SRM and MG each.

Use a CD Mod on the ML and SRM's so LBX, ML, and SRM's fireing times sink up.

Alternatively:

KGC-0000
KGC-000
KGC-000B AC/5 Basically, Leones with a few mods.

Try this, the streaks should help get lights off you, the rest of the loadout is pure meta.

As a King Crab pilot trust me you don't want to run anything smaller than a 325 engine or else your just gonna get left in the dust.

Hopefully you won't give up on it once you feel the Lurmageddon.
