MechWarrior Online: Highlander HGN-733 In Action

In an effort to not be sucked in to the current meta builds of 2 PPCs and 1-2 ACs on a jumpjet equipped mech, I built this Highlander HGN-733 with 1 LB-10X, 2 Large Lasers, and 4 SSRM2 (with a Beagle Active Probe too). It turns out to be a pretty decent brawler that can deal with any size mech thanks to the mixed weapon package.

In the below video I get 2 kills and 8 assists on 503 damage in Forest Colony.

MechWarrior Online: Ilya Muromets with LB-10X and 2 AC5 in Action

I was a little bored running a three Ultra AC 5 (UAC5) build in the Ilya Muromets and after the recent changes to the UAC5, I decided to try something different because this excellent Cataphract variant deserves lots of playing time. The result... One LB-10X, two AC5, and 3 Medium Lasers. It doesn't sound like much, but it is a well rounded mech good at dishing out decent damage at range and excellent at finishing off mechs stripped of armor up close (under 300 meters).

Below are some videos of the build in action. Enjoy.

Solo drop in River City: 4 kills, 4 assists, 491 damage

Solo drop in Caustic Valley: 4 kills, 4 assists, 500 damage

Another solo drop in River City: 5 kills, 2 assists, 662 damage

MechWarrior Online: Atlas AS7-D-DC with 2 LB-10X in Action Video Series

This is a video series showing off my Atlas AS7-D-DC with 2 LB-10X, 2 Medium Lasers, and 3 SRM6 with Artemis build. I don't claim to be the person who first ran the build, but I did originally run it back in Closed Beta and see others running similar builds from time to time.

Its major weakness is the lack of pin point damage of the AC20 and the raw damage per second of the Ultra AC5. However, with the fast recycle time, low heat, and critical hit rate on internals, the LB-10X makes for some good fun. Especially when combined with the SRM6s. Strip the armor off the torso armor and watch the light show begin!

MechWarrior Online: Atlas AS7-D-DC with 2 LB-10X AC in Action

This mech is a slight variation of one of my favorite builds from Closed Beta, Atlas AS7-D-DC with two LB-10X AC, two Medium Lasers, and three SRM6 with Artemis. I get 6 kills and 3 assists on 628 damage. This was also the last match of a nearly 9 hour long MechWarrior Online play session. This was arguably my best match of the day.
