It's a video about a build for the Stalker 5S. I tried to make it not-boring so even people with attention problems can watch it through . Check it out:

I don't play the stalker, nor am I interested in one, but your video was entertaining nonetheless.

seems similar to the trial stalker. I don't play stalkers but with how easy it is to close in on them, not sure if I would want only mediums lasers and maybe streaks to combat close range. Would depend on what kind of team support you get.

Thanks! Always nice to hear your video reaches audiences it wasn't targeted for.

bump for fun

Was that "headshot" box edited in or do you have something doing that in-game?

[Ptom]

I enjoyed watching the "jack of all trades" stalker build you got going there.

Unfortunately, 6 ppcs just are too fun to drop to change to this build, but I may try using it on another stalker variant!

[SpammyV]

This is close to how I like to run my Stalkers. Use all those weapon hardpoints to be a threat at any range I want. Nice vid too.

Loved the "Never Boring" part. ;D

Well yeah that was edited in

[GalaxyBluestar]

better vid than the lrm's op one, much prefer to see mechs built that way.

but why elephant tentacle stalker?

[yashmack]

cute video but that trance track is so old... lol

[Mr Mantis]

It is a good build because it covers all the ranges, balanced, not boating, and still packs a punch. That is the way mechs are supposed to be ran.
I don't like assaults, but props on a great video.

Entertaining. but in reality it wont make you a OP killing machine

These vids always show the last 3 seconds of vsing an enemy mech when its about to die.

What do you do when you meet a raven 3L? Your ppcs, streaks and LRMs cant touch it, so you just have 4 medium lasers on a slow mech that can barely twist vsing a fast mech you can barely hit. You still get torn apart like in the first part of your vid.

Old? It was posted less than a month ago . And besides, music never gets old.

The first part was all staged. I let that happen to me....

Well I felt that I had a weapon for every range and nobody could escape me so they were like tentacles gettin everywhere and stalker is a big fat mech so I thought of an elephant. I also though about the custom ultralisk from sc2 who had spine crawlers growing from its neck but I guess not so many ppl will get that one. So when I was thinking a name I thought well let's go with the name that came first to mind, that is always the best right? Elephant tentacle stalker it is then .

The first rule of an assault mech: don't get caught alone.well that rule works with basically for any type of mech.
in a 1 on 1 any assault mech is going to struggle against a faster mech, it is not what they are supposed to be used for.

Exactly this.Well if you are alone fighting light with your hvy/assault you are doing something wrong.

And I have almost similar build.4xMLas,2xERLLas,2xLRM10,2xSRM6.
I prefer SRM6 bcuz I dont need to lock on if I stand against DDC.But I think I can switch those ERLLasers for PPCs bcuz I dont use them on close range anyway(too much heat)

Nice video.Its more like Stalker trailer than fan video .

Like I said on your video:

I personally do not like the PPCs because of their minimum range thus I usually run with duel ER Lasers. Might give the PPCs another go when the EMP effect is finally added in but in the meantime the PPCs are just not something for me and the ERPPCs are just too hot for this build.
