Horrid Little Mech Goes Fast | The Locust

  • (SUBTITLES AVAILABLE!) The Locust is one of my all time favorite mech to pilot. The combination of small size and ridiculous speed makes it one of the most abusable mech on the field. Today we go over a special build and maneuvers needed to pilot light mechs.

      That scummy tactics is viable only because there is no melee in MWO. Of course, even if there is melee, it'll work against mechs that don't have swinging arms like the Fafnir or Stalker

      Lore is why BattleTech is so great, and why pilots are drawn to different mechs.

    @spacehitler4537 5 місяців тому +9

    Another strategy for the locust is to run a 1v with a Large X-Pulse laser. The 1v's laser cooldown quirk makes it fire absurdly fast; meaning you can easily hit and run scrapping off armor and pulling attention for your team.

    We have a saying in Poland that can be translated "to draw somebody subconsciously/with thoughts" as I did yesterday thinking what's up with the B33f and just today the algorithm shows me this masterpiece. Now this can be called the top quality MWO pedia ever created. Thanks and goodluck B33f!

    I am new to the game, downloaded it like two weeks ago.
    Your video sure highlighted one of the funniest chassis to play.
    After learning the controls and HUD, i purchased LCT-1V, that universally recognized as the worst of the bunch.
    And I absolutely love it. Dealing 500-800 damage per game and even breaking a 1000 damage per match a few times.
    Thank you B33F, your videos are gems indeed.

That was one of those matches that still lived rent-free in my mind. Gooood times indeed.

    Okay this is great. I loved your original content for the craziness and how much you embraced ‘hey this is cool and that’s what really matters’. But if this is the standard the new videos are being held to…wow. Funny, informative, helpful to newbies, and even helpful to a vet with almost 1000 hours in the cockpit but can’t pilot a light without jump jets to save his life.
    PS: A moment of silence for all of the Locust pilots that we have killed via friendly fire whenever we have a great shot lined up…only to have a friendly come running across the crosshairs as we pull the trigger.
