[@rmelzhim6033]

Mate the moment you start chainfiring at the end of the first game groupfiring became an act of heresy. Chainfire is 10/10 to listen to and probably makes enemies panic like crazy.

[@Acaios1]

Yeah, that`s what I thought too, the sound is nice

[@robertagren9360]

It doesn't do any damage

[@rmelzhim6033]

@@robertagren9360 Getting constantly and repeatedly hit causes plenty of emotional damage. Players can't tell what's how much damage each of the individual hits are dealing most of the time either.

Good for suppressing fire, bad for actual damage

[@philtkaswahl2124]

There's always something about running around in a tiny mech while wreaking absolute havoc that makes things so fun that you feel like cackling loudly.

[@MrTBSC]

tiny compared to other mechs maybe ... but if this thing stands in front of you it´s not that tiny anymore ... and those 8 guns are meant to be anti personal so immagine this thing stomping with 155 kph torwards you as a simple infantryman or civilian

[@philtkaswahl2124]

​@@MrTBSC Yeah, there's a reason the fandom call them the Poor Bloody Infantry.

[@VultureXV]

The best time to be in a light mech is near the end of the match where all the rookie lights are already popped. Being able to flank and reposition rapidly at a time where people have shifted into "trench/line warfare mind" absolutely screws with people.

[@purplefood1]

@@VultureXV The same with a lot of games where you have the heavy, medium, light archetypes. Lighter units often suffer in head on clashes where they can't use their manoeuvrability as effectively. however once both sides have lost a few players there's a lot more room and lighter units become far more valuable. Experienced players will save themselves for the later stages of the game where they can have the most impact.

Love the content, Baradul! I don't get to play as often, but I can get my fix by watching you have fun.

[@jbuck9821]

"I like it. I really do!" I should say so. First overall in damage on the first map. Third overall in damage on the second map. In a FLEA! Quite impressive.

[@BassRacerx]

oh shit! they finally added magshot ammo quircks to the flea! i did this when the magshots first came out but you only could carry 240 shots and it just was not worth it always running out of ammo with only 350-400 damage to show for it.

[@Makibishi93]

I'm so going to try this. Edit: 10/10 this is a hilarious good time and I love it. Double edit: This thing is glorious. What neat little midget. Triple edit: It has now been nicknamed the Maggot.

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

Glad you like it, you're driving many players who have played for years from the game.

[@TalinkoMontaro]

Flea game strong today. Bara most damage in the first game and Cougurt with almost 1k in the second !

[@ZoneofA]

In both games 20t fleas did the most damage. Truly it is not the size but the way one uses it.

[@nonaurbizniz7440]

It is the size. Its so small its easy to miss even looking directly at it if its not spotted with a red box over it.

[@markjordan9059]

Your wife disagrees

[@illusionist1872]

There are two types of people

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

It's because magshot plus the shittiest hit detection for missiles I've seen in a while = overpowered light builds. I say this as a person who mainly uses light mechs.

[@pedrob7374]

Also in a match last night I matched up with another flea with this build and a spider... we ran arround like a team and wrecked everything.... we ripped apart a king crab.... it was glorious.

[@stompyrobotguy4376]

God, reminds me of the single LPL Locust build from yesteryear. A whole lance of those was hilariously effective.

[@thedevilinthedetails3061]

I made one of these before I found this video!!! I call it the Wild Weasel build. But I run with 1.5 tons of ammo and a ER med Laser

That was a joke. I bet Baradul must have watched southpark too, when he was younger. Search for " Butters - What, What in The Butt (Official Music Video) - SOUTH PARK", or the original song by Samwell.

[@billt4394]

Ooooo, that looked like sooo, much fun!

[@pedrob7374]

I run this with a small laz (when I run out of ammo) this has become my best preforming light mech.. hands down..

[@Jackelmandingo]

You can fit in light Ferro and just roll back some armor to make it a full 4 tons of ammo.

[@Karlzbergx]

You can run light ferro and armor up your legs and your head a bit.

[@natakuu13]

If you can put 8 ballistics on the flea. Is there any variant with enough hardpoints to fit 4 clan srm 4s? I can't play mwo but I love everything battletech when it comes to lore and the cockpit playstyle side of battletech aka mechwarrior. Was just curious if they had one where you could basically swap those 8 magshots for 4 csrm 4s. With the csrms you basically can do double the single shit burst of the magshots with, if I'm not mistaken, each srm offers the addition of a chance to critseek at the same weight cost. Would be fun as hell to play i think

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

You could, but missile hit detection in MWO is absurdly bad.

[@noble64890]

How did you do the chainfiring?

[@michaelbarnard8529]

The advantage of magnetically driven projectiles is that the ammo for it is much smaller than powder weapons. Why in the world is it so heavy in Battletech?

[@Bigbacon]

I like this build,....just always run out of ammo.

If you don't run out of ammo (and didn't explode 3 minutes in) - you brought too much :D

This mech is great, but the Locust 1V is better. I can only get 4 kills a match before I run out of ammo. The light PPC and 4x mags in the Locust keep it terrifying late game.

how about a full magshot piranha

[@danbuter]

What is a magshot? I haven't played in a year or two, and they didn't exist then.

[@MrSpartanspud]

It's like a short range AC2.

[@cynin1]

They are supposedly antipersonel gauss rifles/machine guns

[@boomerkobold3943]

Light gauss weapons that do two damage per shot. They got added in one of the more recent updates.

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

AC-2 for a fraction of the weight but not as much range. Completely ruined the balance of lights in the game. If you use any light that's not one of these, these will demolish you.

[@zer0render]

How about CASE on the arms?

[@MrWhateverfits]

case prevents ammo explosions from damaging surrounding areas. It won't work on the Magshots themself and the ammo doesn't explode so no need.

[@g3heathen209]

Don't guass weapons explode? I remember dying from a weapon explosion on my magshot flea..suposed it could have been the ammo pre quirk.​@@MrWhateverfits

[@Acaios1]

@@MrWhateverfits Don't magshots explode, like all gauss rifles?

[@zer0render]

In a previous video I commented on CASE on the LT/RT for an IS XL build, which someone corrected and correctly pointed out makes no sense. But Magshot/AP Gauss rifles themselves explode so having it on the arm might let you live a tiny bit longer here.

[@asdfghjkl-un3gv]

@@zer0render you are correct, CASE will prevent weapon explosion damage in an arm from spilling over into the adjacent ST. it would be a straight upgrade since he has the slots for it, though in this instance i would probably instead add light ferro and max out the leg armor, or possibly even strip a little off the torsos and get an additional half ton of ammo.

FLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[@chronoatog5650]

Trade 2 magshots + 1 T of ammo for an XP-Medium.

[@tkell31]

Dont play, but seems like they are trying to make all mechs be able to deal huge amounts of damage. Curious if players see it the same or if comes solely down to the skill of the pilot.

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

You are seeing it correctly. But it's really only PPC boats and ballistic boats that can do that. missile hit detection is crap.

[@minard13son]

well heck, ima buy me a flea

[@hohenzollern6025]

"a" flea? Buy them all, and the Locii too. Best mechs in the game.

[@Kasperring]

How does a flea without ecm survive..? I played a few games and got 100 dam lol guess I just suck

[@hohenzollern6025]

It is a learned skill. Couple years ago, I wanted to tank my PSR as Every t1 game I got into was a rollfest. So wanted to knock myself back deep into t4. Decided I would just play my lights, because like you, would often die quick with little damage. And since that was sort of the point, I lost all inhibition. Just charge in and git em. Funny thing is, if you do that intelligently, as in charge in on that one straggler, or wait til everyone is shooting the atlas, you become a god. After about a month, I was right back where I started, in t3 fighting t1 players, and still gaining PSR. I got good just thru practice. Lights are retarded fun when you get comfortable in them. People generally panic when a light latches onto them. Adrenaline shakes end all aim ability. You barely have to move, just a little forward and back dance, and you can kill anything 1v1, with the right knife fighting build. The closer you get, the harder it is for them. So avoid trying to build a 'long range' flanker, thats a job for bigger lights, like the jenner iic or cicadas. Flea, Locust, Commando, get in under their feet. Small pulse is 100% better than er mediums. Watch some of DATAs light vids, see how little he moves when he latches onto a straggler. It's almost comical, and yes, it really is that easy. Just dont charge into the hornets nest, but if you do, pop a UAV. Edit: I really want to stress how much people panic when a really aggressive locust or flea focuses on them. I've run whole lances of snipers off the wall in HPG. Ive destroyed countless assaults who thought they were gonna be a sniper, because ERlarge burn time is so long. Fear NOTHING! (except somebody who matches your aggression and also has streaks.) When people think you have no fear, they WILL assume it's for good reason, even if yer sporting a single small pulse cuz yer MGs are outta ammo and you have no armor left.

[@robertagren9360]

Flea mobility is faster than their reaction

[@Kasperring]

@@hohenzollern6025 True, I guess I should give it another 100+ games before I decide I'm bad at it :) I actually play TTB's Osiris dps build and regularly have 1k+ games in a 30 ton mech with no ecm...The flea just moves very differently and lacks JJs, oh how I'd love for it to have JJs...

[@hohenzollern6025]

@@Kasperring Osiris can be a fun mech, but yeh, completely different than a flea. How I break it down for people is basically there is 3 types of light mechs. Flanker: Fast, longer range mechs. Get where people dont expect you to be, and poke at them so their cover isnt safe. Either they face you and ignore your entire team, or you get free shots, or they have to flee, thus giving up a defensive position. Knife fighter: Short range high dps builds. Find the stragglers, snipers, or Linkdeads, and eat em up. Backstabber: High risk, high reward. Come up from behind and dump a massive alpha into peoples back armor. Sneaky Snek is the master of this, watch his vids. Bigger mechs do not work well as knife fighters, you really do need that tiny hard to hit mech to pull it off all the time. Not saying you can never do it, as I have a few small pulse bigger lights, but they are very hit n miss. Whereas it's really hard to have a bad game in a flea or locust.

[@Kasperring]

@@hohenzollern6025 I prolly just need more practice, I've only played a few months, but quickly found that I gravitated toward the light or fast medium mechs...I used to play a lot of World of Tanks and was actually pretty good at it (top 10% in EU), so my map awareness was already pretty decent...I did find though, that everytime I got into a slow heavy or assault, I'd wind up in the wrong spot and just be stuck there, or I'd commit and everyone else would bug out while I was stuck... In the faster mechs, I find I can easly switch flanks to keep them unsure of where the fight is gonna be, run to assist an assault getting swamped by lights or even kite a few heavies or assaults if I end up alone...But atm I'm around 500 games played and only just learning the positions to go to on the different maps still...

[@hohenzollern6025]

Why do you not already have all of them. Locust and Flea best mechs in game, and they are cheap! Had a 1500 dmg game in my Peanut Butter couple months ago. The stars just aligned... in a locust. Nothing instills as much fear as a tiny bug. You get under their feet and they panic, cant hit a single shot as they start shaking.

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

There really isn't any if you're using a fast ballistic boat.

[@austenmoydell4357]

Dude I haaaaaaaate fighting this build in lights. It is absolutely broken. I straight cannot play against it in a locust or anything with an xl that can't tank more than a couple of those pinpoints point blank.

[@hohenzollern6025]

It's only 16 damage on a 2 second cooldown. Six small pulse is also 2 second cooldown and 20 damage. It's not broken, thats all in your mind... any light knife fighter that latches onto you will destroy you, that is their job. People panic too much and cant aim when they get the adrenaline shakes. So relax, it only takes one, calm, well placed shot. Breathe.

[@robertagren9360]

16 damage is 4 medium laser alpha strike. This one does this in rapid fire.

[@Gustav_Kuriga]

@@hohenzollern6025 Are you stupid? pulses still spread damage even if it's less than their normal counterparts because they still have laser duration. magshot has zero duration that spreads out damage. "Take a well placed shot" yeah sure, if they decide to be so polite as to sit still. I've played spl locust for as long as the game's been out. They stopped being decent once the Pirahna spam basically completely outmoded every other 20 tonner in the game. This just makes it even worse, because there are no ballistic boat locusts. In fact, any light that isn't a ballistic boat is at a huge disadvantage because these things are just point and click, goodbye torso/arm/leg.
