So I’ve heard it’s going to get another actuator added to each arm, but I havent seen anything official
on when. Anyone know?

Also this is going to nerf so much more then just the 5 AC10 load out, since those 2 extra slots impact many builds including 3 LBX 20, 4 SRM6 with decent engine. If they add the actuators losing those 2 extra slots will take away all of its already limited ammo capacity.

All Madcats have them and it was supposed to have them. Its an oversight. It was never supposed to do this builds.

And we don't know when the hotfix is coming.

Yeah ok ty, I do think it was intentionally unintended to give it a selling point. I also hope they keep it since it helps multiple build styles, and makes up for zero quirks.

Most canon Mad Cat MkIIs don't have lower arm actuators (1, 2, 3, 6, even the 'Enhanced' one from the Prototypes TRO, vs the 4 and 5 which do), and the 1, 2, and Deathstrike in-game don't either.

i actually doubt that the 5xcac10 is actually superior to the 2xuac10+3uac5 build. it does get you stupid dps with practically no heat, but lends itself to being vary face tank. where as the 10s and 5s build is probibly going to be a more peak and poke build.

I can absolutely confirm that it was an error that it does not have the LAA.

Well I’m very thankful to whoever made the error 😂

Here is a screenshot of MCII-MWK Moonwalker Legendary Mech, with no equipment for everyone's information.

(Agree that those who have not purchased MCII-MWK or FNR-J Legendary Mechs have limited or no access to theory craft build ideas is not helping the rumor situation. Even the MechDB 2.0 website does not have these two mechs as of this writing! MechDB 2.0 actually took down FNR-J mech layout from its website!).
(Many thanks to Heavy Money & Lockheed_ for the E&OE!)

PLEASE NOTE: WE DISCOVERED AN ERROR WITH THE MOONWALKER BUILD. WE HAVE UPDATED THE GRAPHIC!

THERE WILL BE A HOTFIX FOLLOWING THE PATCH TO UPDATE THE MECH.
ERROR: MISSING ARM ACTUATORS

MechDB has them both, you just need to uncheck Hide Specials.

What a let down.. wish they'd stop nerfing things people purchased even if it was a bug.. i might be a bit slower next time to purchase these..

You ... Don't think it was a tiny bit OP getting all of that critical space in the arms? Like, not even a little bit?

[Rondoe]

Forgive me if I'm wrong. IIRC My MadCat MKII's Deathstrike, B, and Moonwalker don't have lower arms. Seems like they should just have a shoulder/upper arm actuators.

Not really seeing where a lower arm actuator would be needed on them.

The point of the lower arm actuator is to prevent them from doing stuff like 5AC10 or 3LBX20+SRMs. These loadouts are bunching far above its weight and were not supposed to happen.

that really depends on the builds. these were both hardpoint inflated ballistics boats, which i have a soft spot for. id have a hard time justifying the expense if it was vomit or missiles.

It doesn't prevent 3 LB20s and SRMs, fyi

No i did not think it was overpowered, i didn't even use 5 on mine but i still feel its wrong to nerf stuff over devs mistakes.. after we bought something.
