Bought Kaiju during the sale, I know it isn't good, but it looks cool. Any builds out there that make this behemoth somewhat viable?

I did a build with 6 light PPC, SRMs, and some machine guns. This build works if I can get close enough but once your out of range of the SRMs the light PPCs don't really do much (even with 6 of them).

Thanks!

Looks very weak for a 100 toner. Also, don't force yourself to use all the hardpoints, 2 MGs on any mech without RoF quirk are basically useless.

I don't own the mech, but the "classic" build looks like 3ERPPC+2LG - should be good.

Used this build last night and it seems to work pretty well: kgc-kj

I haven't decided on the optimum amount of ammo, but I can shrink or get rid of the TC as needed for extra ammo.

I don't want to invest much in the weapons on the arms, they are too low and far apart to be useful in many situations. With this build I have decent mid-range fire power and up close the 6 small lasers are still effective as a DPS booster without costing much heat or weight.

If you don't want weapons on the arms, you might enjoy this build.

i was thinking of doing a build with 3 ER PPC and an MRM 30 but it does run a bit toasty.

here is the build code for it.

A]882:a1|i^|i^|i^|i^|bg|f?|AOp91|i^|i^|i^q91|i^|Z@|0=2rT0s41|^?|^?|^?t91|GP|GPu91|GPvB0w;0;0;0

though i will likely go with this 2 ER PPCs and 2 MRM 20s as it runs cooler

here is the build code for it

A]882:a1|i^|i^|i^|i^|bg|f?|AOp91|i^|i^|i^q91|1=2|Y@|Y@r41s41|^?|^?|i^t91|GP|GPu91|GP|GPvB0w;0;0;0
