so i am curious as to which of the Legendary packs people are interested in taking (or have already taken) from the 2025 Beach Party Loot Bag event. personally i have narrowed it down to two. the Marauder-Blight and the King Crab-Argent. there other Legendaries i found interesting but either got them during other free Hero mech events or they aren't part of the event offerings. (leaning more towards the Argent due to its paint pattern)

with builds something like these

Blight (2 LBX-10s (4t ammo), 2 LLs, running an LE-310 with endo and LFF)

Adi:2:H1|Xgpl0|o?ql0|o?r`0|`?s`0|`?t]0|JO|JOu]0|JO|JOvB0w404040

Argent (2 UAC/10s (5t ammo), 5 MLs, running an LE-360 with 6 DHS, T1 TC, and Endo)

Aij82:j1|i^|i^|bg|i^|i^|Y?pB1|^<2|N@|Y?qB1|N@|Y?|o<2r41|Y?|i^s41|Y?|i^t<1|7P|7Pu<1|7P|7Pv<0|7Pw202020

(i did look at the War Emu but that mech has pretty garbage quirks)

Your build codes are corrupted, please use a mechDB link when sharing builds on the forum (or anywhere else on the internet).
But from what you're saying, I find them badly designed and optimized.
I won't talk about the Blight since I will recommend you the King Crab, but you really should mount one more UAC/10 on the Argent, since it has an HSL+1 quirk (not showing on mechDB for some reason), like that.


PS: since you're curious, I'm a shameless whale so I already had all the LGD packs, but I chose a second Gausszilla in order to built it with UACs - it's not really cannon, but offer some variety compared to the classic gauss build.

i made the horrible mistake of just buying all this stuff when it came out. so i ended up getting the behemoth, because i always regretted just buying the hero rather than get the legend. everything else i already have and im not sure you get two sets of goodies on legends if you buy them twice. ive bought most of the legends except some of the newer ones that werent on the list. in fact i think all my choices for this event were stripped and sold (usually for omnipods). but il keep the behemoth. probibly the charger from the other event, and they wont let me sell the "happy" elf commando so now i have 2 of those.

I confirm you can only redeem the battlepass content once, even if you buy the pack multiple times.

double checked and the build codes work fine for me. just so you know i don't give a rats *** about optimization and meta, i just play what i find fun (that includes trying to keep a heat management around 1.40, if a build requires cool shot to run they it needs a rebuild.). also if MWO can't manage to allow screen shots then i refuse to use another outside source for it. i am not so wrapped up in a video game to juggle multiple sites just to do something. so since screen shots can't be posted the build code will have to work. (if you are talking armor i don't bother putting it the way i usually do when doing a build test as everyone tends to prioritize armor differently). i also don't do purely ammo dependant builds, i always have some kind of energy back-up (especially with UACs given how often they tend to jam for me.).

i guess in the future il leave a couple of these packs on the table in case they do another one of these.

Double checked and the codes indeed work. It just requires every reader of your post to carefully copypaste them (and NOT double clik on them in order to select the text, because it will add blank space at the end that will make the code fail).
In my opinion, sharing a mechDB link is just good practice that make the things easier for your readers.

Good for you.
But if you're posting your builds here, you're asking for them to be discussed.
