Kind of the wrong place, yes.
But this one is quick
go to https://mw5mercs.com/profile
look under "MWO content"
there you will find 4 codes, at least 2 of them you already have redeemed. Redeem the code that says "MWO Early Adopter Variants Code [Click to Reveal]"

Has anyone tried dual LBX 10s and 4 SRM6+A KC? With full Cooldown nodes and the Quirk, the LBXs can fire very quickly (not like the LK but still good enough) and can time the SRM burst every second shot for a nice alpha with decent heat.

the problem I see with SRMs on the king crab, is that the chassis is not very good at short ranges, due to the wide arms. I'd rather (in fact, I do) settle with a little more range and dual LB10s and MRM60. Serves me nicely so far.

Nice range synergy, I must say. So, that's LFE 320, 2 LBX10, 2 MRM 30, 4 tons of LBX 10 ammo, 4 tons of MRM ammo and 2 extra DHS? Or do you drop the engine size down further to 315 and pack an extra DHS?

Actually, I went with this [color=#000000]https://mech.nav-alp...690d8d_KGC-001S[/color]
lower heat and better spread on the MRMs plus some utility I chose over the 3-4 kph boost of a bigger engine. The pure LB/MRM with LFE325 build has been posted somewhere above, I believe

I'll experiment with this KGC-001(S) first to be sure 'cause I'm hesitant to move at 48kph in NASCAR-QUEUE while being such a big target.

Solid build, I guess. Although I don't see where 51 Kph will save you where 48,6 Kph would kill you.

It's just that I don't need any utilities. So I might as well save the tonnage for a bigger engine and an additional DHS, that's all. For all I know, I might fail incredibly at it once I do build that loadout and take it for a spin.

The one build I have settled on is for the Marauder.

endo steel
max std armor
325 LFE
17 DHS
2 x MRM20 w/ 4 tons ammo
5 x medium lasers
ECM

It has good speed and excellent sustaining power.

For the Catapult, I've had good luck with paired MRM/30s and paired HMGS. On the Marauder, paired MRM/20s and 5 medium lasers with ECM, for the King Crab, quad AC/5 with 2 medium pulse lasers and a pair of RL/15s as an emergency "oh sh**" button. The Warhammer? Mostly stock save for scrapping a jump jet or two for more armour.

On the first three, each load out was designed around LFEs to make them less squishy.

Made as a joke build and then refined as it worked really good. Cat with 2 lbx 10, 4 15 rockets, and jump jets or ammo as preferred. I'm using 2 jj and enough ammo I can keep blasting all match. The lbx can keep pounding away, and the first time someone holds still the rockets mess them up bad. If you don't need more ammo could always increase the rocket count too.

If you have the Catapult C4 it will do much of what you get on your build but with nice missile quirks. of course you will need to swap the HMGs for energy back up weapons but the MRMs on the C4 gain +10% range,-10% heat,-20% cooldown from the chassis quirks.

The only other Catapult I have is a Jester, which I love.
