Not my build. But I'd think not moving at slow assault speed aka molasses would benefit you more than a few armour plates.

This is oddly making me want to try out the fearsome Ubie Mech.

Urbies are a solid buy and give you the most fun for your CBills of any mech in the game. Get the K9 and you even get sirens which elevates the fun to a whole new level other mechs are incapable of.

There's two types of Urbies:

Big ballistic and a small engine.

Medium (Pulse) lasers and big engines.

If it it's not the former it's an Urbie in name only.

I haven't taken it out in a long time but for a while my UM-68 with SRM12 & some Med Lasers put out respectable damage as well.

I have... 5, 6 Urbies? They're a really fun mech. I play them like a pocket medium.

Welcome to the club!

If you're going straight for the K9 (although I'd recommend trying the R63 first) I believe the default key for your sirens is 'K'

For the Tier V Veterans: The Urbanmech with AC20 is also great for staying in tier 5, because without superb positioning and a touch of luck you won't do great damage resulting in the low match scores needed to stay down in the swamp of good times
