The base variant is almost never the most useful. And, well, that does hold true here. But with 1 ballistic, 2 missile, and 9 energy hardpoints, you can do some crazy things.

Here's where things get exciting - the KDK-2 is the only Kodiak with jumpjets, and that's to go along with 1 ballistic and 6 energy hardpoints (and a missile one, I suppose).

nice +10 there buddy
Elijah Kelly
Only two of them don't have structure quirks.
Ryder Lewis
Obviously it was never going to be quirked to Atlas levels but that's a lot better than all of the IIC shitmechs and any extra structure isn't negligible. NOBODY will use the KDK-1, it was going to be shit anyways. KDK-5 will probably end up doing ERLL/ER PPC memes to compensate, rip SPL/MPL Laserboat.

Joseph Bennett
So when is someone going to open a thread on the Gold Forums complaining that the Kodiak is now the strongest Assault in the game, while the HighlanderIIC gets shit on for quirks?
Luis Ward
They'll probably nerf it to dogshit when it becomes available for cbills, when they've already got the real world moneys from the golds :^)
Zachary Sanchez
Like I give a fuck, I'll enjoy my pre-ordered Kodiaks for the next 60-90 days. Get fucked, freebaby.
Owen Smith
This line of thinking really doesn't work anymore in [current year]. MWO has been a pay2doexactlythesame game for a quite while now.
Hudson Gomez
the only sad thing is that it won´t help the golds play any better :( Clan golds will still whine about the strucure quirks on my far superior OP ultra meta Orion
Grayson Perry
Do we even know, if all the quirks actually work by now? I know that most of them hadn´t done anything until half a year or so after the rebalance
Ian Evans
It will twist exactly the same as a BLR-2C with a 340 engine. In other words, not very fast at all.

Don't worry guys, the game will get better eventually! You just need to grind through it!

They fixed the accel and crit quirks a couple months ago.

What's the least shitty clan assault at the moment? (excluding kodiak)

If the game was fun no one would give a flying fuck about the grind

don't play it then

I don't. I'm just here to make fun of you.

good for you

Thank you, that's kind.

i'm fine with this, but how will we get past the $2,000 vass has put into star citizen? we cant just write that off, he must be beholden to it if hes invested so much money into it
Should I buy an EXE or just save up Cbills for a sale?
Carson Carter
>Should I buy an EXE Do you like small pulse lasers?
Owen Morgan
>Should I buy an EXE Do I really need to answer that question?
Isaac Edwards
I think I can make a poking build for it, but yes I do like small pulse since I run Spurdos.
Noah Ward
Hello?
Nicholas Mitchell
I see Cataphracts rarely, more in the European queue than NA.
But fuck, what he did to that poor Grid Iron.
Easton Bennett
Yes, it's sexy and fun.

Is it me you're looking for?

It's shit, so it fits you perfectly.

Give me a second dropping in QP.

It'll work.
Even if it's literally X-D

Look at all the (You)'s we gave him. That's embarrassing.

Who the fuck told you about this general anyways? This is just like fucking Pardo, you people NEVER learn.

user, that is Pardo.

Possible IIC quirk pass also. Keeping you posted.

Actually, considering you're unironically T4 I guess the answer really is "No."
James Hall
>"very soon"
Austin White
The only reason he has Ebins is because he ran Invasion with a completely stock drop deck of trials and it was that or the Warcuck. He then proceeded to whip out his wallet upon receiving his first mech so he could buy camo and colours as well as that badge he has- he sold the grabdeal mechs that came with it since he hates IS.
Aaron Johnson
Hopefully June with the re-scale, because that's supposedly when yet another quirk pass for all mechs is coming.
Carson Thompson
I have 3 Summoners, 3 Ebins, 3 Novas, 3 Garg, 3 Hunchback IIC, 3 Onions, 2 Huelanders sold the missile variant.
Easton Green
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!??
Robert Powell
I only bought the origins and resistance 2 pack.
Mason Price
You have to admit "Scrub-Lord" is a good fit to his choices.
On the other hand, it's worth noting that outside the NA servers, 'Mech choices tend to be a lot more into what we'd call "shitbots".
I'm much more likely to see a regular diet of things like Lynxes and Kitfoxes vs. the almost inevitable ACH's in NA queue. Same thing applies all the way up the line- people unironically in Vindicators, Dragons, etc.
It's almost like an entirely different tier of play from NA server drops.

any bets on whether they'll go cross-platform for multiplayer?

No clue in the slightest

I hardly play QP unless its Cease Fire or i'm extremely bored of FP.
Jace Richardson
>Hunchs2s with Hunch power quirks MAGA
Jason Sanders
all I ask for is UAC jam quirks
Ethan Flores
Anything I can kill half the enemy team with has potential, even if it's not meta-tier. Quirks make the 'Mech in many ways in any case.
