First and foremost, we need more ballistic hardpoints. It’s that simple. When it comes to ballistic weapons, only a few mechs in the current lineup can fulfill that loadout. The King Crab hardpoint system allows us to mount dual AC20’s! Like myself, many players prefer to use heavy ballistic weapons in battle and it would be nice if the developers gave us a mech that can fulfill that role.

Second, the addition of the King Crab would add an area denial weapon to the game. No one in their right mind would challenge this mech up close, especially with their dual Autocannon/20s. This mech adds unique tactics and strategies to the battlefield. To combat this mech, it requires smaller and faster mechs running around this lumbering giant slowing picking away its armor.

Third, the King Crab would add a mech that is less-humanoid in shape. In full confidence, the art team could definitely make the concept art look absolutely sickening!

Fourth, the King Crab is a very popular assault mech and hasn't been playable in any Mechwarrior game.

No, instead we'll just have Gauss Crabs. :D

Was hoping this would be the fourth Assault. Was disappointed when it turned out to be the Highlander...
