Today we are playing the Locust because a lot of people have asked me to show some hit and run Light Mech Gameplay. For this purpose I took the LCT-3M with 5 Medium Lasers. This loadout enables us to poke from mid-range and engage somewhat safely while relying on speed and cover. If you can manage to motivate some other Light Mechs on your team you can form up a deadly wolf pack that shreds through single targets in no time.

25.07.2022LOVE dropping UAVs and 'Strikes while playing fast moving light mechs…. 🙂

25.07.2022I bought this one in the sale some time ago. But to bring it to life you have to spend a lot of c-bills. Engine, double HS etc.
So I haven't really played the mech so far.

25.07.2022Light lance swarming the big guys one by one… that is exactly how Locusts were meant to be played. That was fun to watch!

25.07.2022Love my lights, locust 1e with either 6 erml if I feel like a toasty run, works fine.
Mount up the xl 190, you not meant to burst, he is the ankle biter that drags other mechs into a 165kph chase, your size is the biggest bonus you have, you wedge yourself into tiny holes and zap away safely.

23.07.2022Also, surprisingly enough. The suitability tree serves the locust really, really well.

23.07.2022I love the 3M. After not playing this game since about 2015 I picked it back up. After failing with the JR7-F for a bit(used to love it, can't do shit with it now) I took my 3M out and had a blast. 4ML and 2AMS with 1.5 ton of ammo is a lot of fun. I might just drop the AMS and add another DHS but at the same time I think that's one of it's better attributes is it's AMS hardpoints.

23.07.2022You did a large pulse laser Locust once, as far as i remember… or was it an ER large laser?
Did you notice that you pulled a Dory in this vid? "just keep swimming/moving" XD

23.07.2022Lights are just so full of quick action. For that I love playing my PB, Grinner or Piranhas. The only disadvantage is, no matter how great you perform, if your team sucks, you just CAN'T change the outcome.
BTW, the first skill I aim for with these mechs, is always Speed tweak.

23.07.2022Hey Baradul,
Mir ist aufgefallen, dass du noch nie Stealth Armor benutzt hast. Warum nicht? Stealth ist Großartig 😀
Probier doch mal meinen Pirates' Bane aus wenn du Lust/Zeit hast:
XL190, 3 DHS, Endo, Stealth, 2x Med Pulse, 2x ERSmall, Panzerung von Cockpit und Armen strippen bis es passt.
Skills: Max Speed, Max Laser Duration / Cooldown, Heat Threshold.
Obernervig, sehr schwer zu töten, sehr geringe burntime auf den Lasern, macht auch Spaß für S7 🙂

23.07.2022hmm wonder which 50 tonner with ecm would ya use for a medium raptor build.. small silhouette, fast great hitboxes and has ecm on a 50 tonne mech??
ElGreZZo
23.07.2022did you use a sound pack?
Descenter1976
23.07.2022oh god, Locus and cans, kill em with fire! then step on them and kill them again. I like Jenners and Ravens, that's about it for lights.

23.07.2022Locusts are still my favorite mechs to run. Learning to pilot them effectively takes time and patience. I always use a 6 x SPL build as I enjoy closing the distance in combat and sowing confusion amongst the enemy.

23.07.2022Dang, great video. This highlights as Mech pilots we have to adapt to the Mech and adjust our play style accordingly. I fall into the trap of trying to force a Mech into my play style which generally ends in a quick death!

22.07.2022Frenetic guerilla brawling warfare. I love it. Harassment and poking at its best.
Psych Olocke
22.07.2022i remember how you first showed the Osiris. lights can be a lot of fun 😉

22.07.2022As a light mech guy, nice to see you playing more of them.
Paul Matisz
22.07.2022To the guy at 7:54 who commented “EZ”: Bad form. It wasn’t a stomp and even if it was, comments like that show poor sportsmanship.

22.07.2022One single snub, that's all I run on mine

22.07.2022Hi. I wanna join your unit…
Disk Giant
22.07.2022I want moar! Utility builds, assassination builds, harassment builds! MORE MORE MORE!

22.07.2022my only issue is that at that speed i can hardly keep up with where am and how am facing
MonoKabi
22.07.2022Problem with Lights is also their strong suit. Speed. You need good aim while running, good positioning lest you get one shot by big guns, and a computer that is able to keep up with the pace of movement without stuttering.

21.07.2022Funny fact. I got confused and thought this was a BTT video about making light lances to play 'em in Battletech as MWO… anyway, had fun watching it. 🙂

21.07.2022Remember building an SRM assassin. It was built to take out LRM boats at the back of groups. I'd pull up behind one silently and tag it drawing LRM fire to it and whenever the LRMs hit I would unload SRMs into their backs. They almost never notice I'm hitting them. XD
Then there's the 1x LPL Locust.
