So I recently returned and was having fun with the new KDK3... And because I cannot consistently aim with a UAC5/10 combo, I built something different...
kdk-3

and I was getting some good results from it. Only issue was first of all I need to get up close and personal, and I could only trade against a limited amount of mechs before I die.

So I was trying out swapping over a pair of gauss into the mix so I have range option as I try to close in.
kdk-3

So far I have not tried this out yet. So I am wondering if there are other pointers on the build?

There's a monthly free mech build guide, and since we've recently have had the KDK-3 as free mech...

KDK-3 with:

4xAC10 + ERPPC
4xAC10 + 2xERPPC
2xUAC10 + 2xUAC5 + ERPPC
2xUAC10 + 2xUAC5, but with XL395 engine!
4xLBX10 + ERPPC
4xGauss + 2xERLL
2xUAC20 + 2xUAC10, albeit with the rare Clan Standard Engine 295

As you can see, no matter how you slice+dice it, the KDK-3 is a potent damage dealer!

Oh, there's also a +30% CBills bonus version of KDK-3 now!

The widely respected GrimMechs has KDK-3 down with:
4xAC10 + ERPPC

Having tried the 4xgauss builds, I can only say that they're super underwhelming. Just not enough stopping power and since you can only charge two GRs at a time, you eat a lot of damage during engagements.
