Was streaming a DLC campaign for the first time and I was talking with a viewer about SoK and the upcoming DLC.

TBH I never used King Crabs let alone the Carapace hero mechs in any of my previous SoK runs before. Currently using a quad LBX5 solid burst & twin ATM 6 equipped Carapaces and a lone Marauder II hero mech since my other Carapace never got repaired in time.

Only using QoL mods for my vanilla+ Mercs for a substantial number of playthroughs now.

Holo table so upgraded with lostech Spears is phasing through the display

NGL I never even bothered to wander around during briefings before to see other good views

Cavaliers drowning in other lostech stuff Ryana, Fahad and Mason lookin fine after more than 50 years

I tried to offer my Milla Serenas with their Annihilators to the Ghost Bears in Last Frontier, they declined

Morgan Trenskies from previous career playthroughs along with King Crab Carapace hero mechs. Using only QoL mods for my vanilla+ Mercs.

After a long break I was able to play Mercs again & I took one of my King Crab Carapaces for some refresher contracts in prep for Chaos Reign DLC next week.

Currently I'm using LBXs solid bursts instead of UAC-BFs. I tend to use a lance of AC-equipped mechs on demolition missions before but I've been contemplating using LBXs SLD BFs on my lance of Carapaces for quite some time now.

Along with my old hoard of ATMs I'm also using these LBXs on other mechs like the Hero Annie and on a lance of Victor Basilisks. Will tailor the build either to increase the ATM loadout or upgun the quad LBX of the Carapaces.

Only using a QoL modlist for my vanilla+ Mercs.

Not a highlight reel in any sense, I lost limbs in this arena when I recorded this vid while testing out TTRulezAI v3 two months ago.

I fielded an IS fast assault hero lance and I used LBXs on one of my hero Basilisks. ATM usage were not ideal throughout the match but I continued to fire these to get aggro on the remaining lance.

LBXs slugs are so good for my needs. I've been fielding a lance of fast IS assaults for the last 3 playthroughs and I'm about to replace other builds with LBXs, especially on my lance of King Crab Carapaces.

Only using QoL mods on my vanilla+ Mercs.

Tried quad gauss on a DWF-B just for fun as a nice icebreaker during the monotony of arena farming. Initial cobbled-up loadout was 4 C-Gauss, 2 emotional support C-ER small lasers and around 3 tons of gauss ammo. This was more than a month ago.

My main themed arena mech was a SRM-Inferno firing ARC-2P wielding a Heavy Hammer. So far, it's good for lone duels at most, it's also fun on Scrapyard shuffles but before I bring my rifles to bear almost a third of enemy AIs were already destroyed by other enemy AI.

I'm on PC only using QoL mods on my Vanilla+ Mercs, no YAML (one of my QoL mods was from a standalone YAML modpack made by cszolee79).
