which legends mech pack is the best to pick from the legends beach party event.
is there a place to see what mechs are in the packs

Well, there's no one "best" Legend, though there are standouts and less popular choices.

The easiest way to look at Legends is either in the Store Page - all the individually named 'mechs there are Legends, and you can mouse over them if you're unsure - or else using MechDB to directly check the stats of the Legends you want.

Spoiler

My own personal mileage is that the Deathstrike, Moonwalker, Warlord, and Gausszilla are great. Stone crusher is also good - it's an Annihilator. I don't own all the Legends, but the ones I've had are all good; they're not designed to be game-breaking, but they all do something existing variants don't normally do - such as Gauszilla focusing on Gauss Rifles, or the Stone Crusher being an all-energy Annihilator.

However, some Legends aren't as good for someone starting out. Brawling, for example, is very much what the Warlord is (terrifyingly) good at; but that play style can be hit-or-miss, depending on your positioning skills, and the general behaviors of the people you typically encounter in matches. So, that being said...

I'd recommend going for the Deathstrike or Moonwalker, depending on what weapons you prefer. They're Clantech Battlemechs, with good architecture and weapon hardpoints - they're easy to optimize, and theres's a reason they each have only one, solitary qurik. Once you pick, use The GrimMechs Database to set them up until you're comfortable tinkering. That's actually good advice for any new 'mech. GrimMech's isn't Gospel, and not all of its builds are equally effective at all levels of play - but it's a vast resource full of solid, curated builds contributed by quite competent players. I strongly recommend it.

ok thank you ill look at the mechs you spoke of. i usually go with lrms and laser. tho i have a couple of maulers. i tend to do poorly at the game. i see the moonwalker and deathstrike are mad cats mk II. i have a couple of them but i do not think i have an annihilator so might look at that one. trying ti diversify what i have

Maybe, to diversify, you should try a heavy or medium

Diversification is an essential practice - learning other weight classes will definitely make you a better player. Even if you end up specializing in a certain weight class, knowing how other weight classes (and types of loadout) work is essential in learning how to fight them when you run up against a skilled player.

i figure the assault mechs are the costly ones so better to get those. still have the medium/heavy/assault pick from beach event to go over ive got 14 lights / 23 mediums / 28 heavys / 32 assaults. a couples of the heavys/assaults are the different mech varients but most are unique
