So, I’m just getting ideas for my loyalty Fox. I’m thinking ATM12, 3x anti missiles, Tag and ecm... hide behind the fatties and shield them with the ecm at the start of the game, lobbing in ATMs when the enemy is close. Anyone try this? Also can’t get SMURFY to work on my tablet for the Kit Fox, Just says no mech. Maybe it’s a sign!

[Exard3k]

it's an omnimech, so most of other kit fox builds work too.

This will open the Loyalty kitfox directly.
Keep in mind Smurfy isn't all that great on tablets. If you start seeing extra slots appear or removing stuff doesn't remove it... don't bother continuing with it as the tablet doesn't have the memory to run it properly.

Thank you,

Actually just maxed armor, added a ppc, a micro laser, ECM and two atm3’s - probably an extra heat sink or two. I like it.

I've been running mine with 6x SRM 4. Like a mini SRM Linebacker. It's been fun.

Don't you get ghost heat? Wouldn't it be better with 2xSRM6, 2xSRM4, and 2xSRM2?

Not saying it's an optimal build... But I don't think heat's an issue. I personally never fire more than 4 at a time, usually sets of 2. Open with a big salvo, then mostly "chain firing."

[Brethren]

I've tried to go full splat on it. 6x SRM6 + Ammo, nothing else. Yes, you have to alternate between arm and shoulder mounted weapons, but I have to do that anyway since I like to run with arms unlocked.

It's hot and tends to dig up the landscape until you get below 100m, but then it works like a charm. It's way more tanky than the Jenner IIC and often gets ignored in favour of one of your teammates. More often than not that's a terminal mistake.

[JC Daxion]

I run ATM 6 + 2 2's, with the S left torso for JJ"s, then 2 ERSL+2 LMG's in the left fist for extra damage and some pin-point crit.

It works fairly well IMO. It's probably my best kitfox build outside of my one trick pony city brawler but that one gets wrecked elsewhere.

[DarkFhoenix]

I just took out the large laser and added more lurm ammo. He makes a cute lil lurm boat .

[Muriel Steiner]

I like ATM's and I'm trying to get ideas for using them on light/medium 'mechs, but they don't make the best "up close" weapon due to their minimum range.

[The Schwartz]

Manage to cram quite abit into this thing but not a stock omni build.
Did abit of trial and error on the ballancing and even though the HML have better synergy with the LMGs they're simply too hot. This gives you plenty of support options while not completely gelding your damage output, is my personal favorite build.

The other thing i like about it is if you find you're in LRM hell you can drop .5 ton of ammo and put on a LAMS so your ammo consumption goes down 1/3 without sacrificing the effectiveness of AMS bubble and doesn't really get all that hot. The jumpjets in my personal opinion are what make this mech usable but i'm a huge fan of JJ's to begin with. Another play tactic i use with this one is if you end up in a brawl *which isn't desired but it happens* you can tank abit with the AMS side *sense at that range lrms are the least of your problems* and can sacrifice that whole side without losing too much firepower. Usually i'll nail the JJ's to help spread damage too.

The LA allows you to grab e.g. 3x (L)AMS (using KFX-C RA) and put the ECM into the other arm.

Anyone know when the KFX-G pods will be available for C-Bills?

Good question, recently PGI has not been in a hurry to make Omnipods available. I would suggest 3xAMS, 1 ERLL,ECM, and whatever defensive weapons+DHS & AMS ammo you can fit.

[Koniving]

G is available for MC now... Once the G is available for cbills, the pods will be available to all.
So between 1 to 2 months from now, give or take. It lingers on the MC availability for a bit for the impatient and then becomes available for cbills, as with most new variants.

Great to know. If the would just make the D Omnipods for the Sun Spider available for C-Bills I would be a happy man.

Once the Sunspider's available for cbills, you'll be able to get them.

That will be a while from now, though.

I found out that either the S right or left leg gives you two jump jets. I used one of these on my new laser vomit Purifier Hero Omnimech. If I can get a knack for back stabbing like a politician then I will be in the catbird seat with this little killer.

[Horseman]

Running 2xSRM-6 and 2xHML on my loyalty fox. Not the best thing ever, but it will do.
