Super Fast DPS - Locust SRM2 Build - Mechwarrior Online The Daily Dose 1551

This gameplay tutorial for Mechwarrior Online shows you how to utilize your Mech to it's best extent. I'll give you a rundown of the build and what it is made for and show you the actual combat role in two games on the battlefield.
Mechwarrior Online is a competitive first person shooter where you build and pilot massive Mechs and prove yourself on the battlefield. The game is based on the Battletech franchise, which originally was a science fiction tabletop game in the 80s. Big part of the game is configuring your loadout and find the best match of missile, ballistic and energy weapons for your playstyle. The weapon variety ranges from devastating autocannons over particle projectors to deadly arrays of laser beams. On the battlefield your team of 12 Mechwarriors fight the enemies on rather small arena-type maps. Teamwork is crucial here because a single Mech does not survive long if it steps in front a full firing line. Communication and teamwork is key on your journey to glory and victory.

[@alexsolosm]

You were the MVP in the first round really.

[@docthorr]

And almost 1st of his team in damage on that 2nd round. With a legged SRM2 locust

[@mintaka3317]

I was the Jenner in game 2 and it was me that legged you :D crazy the amount of damage you put out despite taking that much damage and getting legged early on

[@laggybum3218]

I have been loving the LCT-1M with 2xMRM10's. I get plenty of range and still pack a punch.

[@Kopalex23]

I think it might be possible to strip some armor from arms and heads if one wants to get an additional 0,5 tons to play around with, for example to get more ammo or a small laser. But aside from minor backseating, this channel has been great fun in learning these games and I look forward to it reaching the hundred thousand milestone. :)

[@Kopalex23]

Well, literally after I typed that comment, the moment at 2:00 happened, hahah. So not sure if there's much room to wiggle around with when it comes to armour.

[@indignantlamentation6307]

You can run this mech with 4x Rocket 20 and be an absolute menace to society.

[@FunkThompson]

Well, a menace to 2-4 mechs at least :D

[@ctakitimu]

It's sometimes a good trade to remove an assault

[@FunkThompson]

@@ctakitimuOh, for sure.

[@ctakitimu]

I didn't blink much during that first match!

[@matthewhammond7067]

Always have love for Locusts ! If you're feeling cheesy, add an LBX 2 to the Locust 1v ( with the 50% global cooldown quirk ) - Boom Boom!

[@pvtmustaqim]

armorless?

[@matthewhammond7067]

Pretty light on, but normally you're overlooked.

[@Artificer1911]

I think you mean the 3V? 1V has an Energy Cooldown of 50%

[@matthewhammond7067]

@@Artificer1911That's exactly it - the 3V. Too many critters in the garage to keep track of :)

[@ix8750]

I love locusts. I mosty pilot my kit foxes and spiders these days but the Pirates bane was my first hero mech and it taught me the ropes with light mech piloting in general. My favorite Locust right now is the 1v with a medium X pulse laser in its energy hardpoint with full cool down and heat gen skills. Its gets over 60% laser CD and duration. It also reaches those 600+ damage multi kill games with relative ease in the hands of a capable pilot.

[@Baraz_Red]

Wow. Impressive. Not only did you survive (!!!) with a Locust, you did among the most damage and 2nd best score of both teams. [first battle] And very high damage in the second battle.

[@gehrman9834]

I play this mech very often with the 4 srm 2 and 1 sxpl, extremely powerful

[@jamessilva1259]

You may have Died, but you deterred the other light Max from Sabotaging the your big guys!!! Also, over 700 damage from a Locust!!! Awesome!!!

[@Booma4142]

Oh ho ho! You weren't here for the old new Terra Therma, then the new new Terra Therma! I kinda miss the old new Terra Therma, just a bit.

[@daveevans4551]

I just came back to MWO and started by running a LCT-1E with 2SXPL and 2MPL. Locusts for life❤

[@Cosmicthoughts79]

I run a similar build with 2 MRM 10's. I appreciate the increased range for sniping and use it to peek rapidly.

[@Artificer1911]

"This mech isn't built for countering light mechs" My go to mech for a very long time was a 2 SRM4 + 2 SRM2 Stealth Javelin. Oftentimes a flanking maneuver would go south and the enemy would call their lights on me. If it was just one, I would let it chase and then 1v1 it. I got pretty good at SRMs that way, although my skills could use some sharpening again. :D

[@Yertle_Turtle]

Those nightvision battles were AMAZING looking!

[@JagHiroshi]

I love the look of this build 🎉

[@markymark3668]

I need to apologize Baradul. We were on the same team last night and I may or may not have accidentally shot your arm off when you were using your Crusader on Viridian Bog. 😅

[@Artificer1911]

I don't think Baradul has much room to be mad about team damage 😄 It happens sometimes when one is being aggressive.

[@diazinth]

@@Artificer1911 wdym Mr. "Sorry for the team damage" doesn't have much room to be mad about it? :D Tbf, stuff happens, yeah.

[@Edriklongtail]

I once accidentally alpah’d TTB in the back and killed him 😅😅😅

[@markymark3668]

@@Edriklongtail oh noooo 😂

[@stokbr5]

Would love to see you LRM boat a light mech. I know you are not a fan of LRM boating but its a good way to LRM boat without taking a ton of tonnage away from the team. I have had good luck LRM boating the Adder.

[@Artificer1911]

Cougars are great for it, too. Tiny little heavy mechs.

[@TheInsomniaddict]

Quad LRM5 locust could be hilarious.

[@stokbr5]

​@@TheInsomniaddictI have tried that build. It is too underpowered to be worth it. The main issue I had was getting enough ammo on board. I have been away from the game for a while so I completely forgot about the Jenner IIC. That thing can be an absolute monstrosity as a LRM boat. I know LRM boating is often frowned upon but I still enjoy it. I try to avoid pulling tonnage from the fight to LRM boat though so I normally LRM boat with lights and mediums. Adder, Jenner, and Kintaro are some of my favorite boats.

[@Yacovo]

Live fast, blow up faster. Thanks for the video.

[@tkell31]

Amazing how much damage you can do with 4 SRM 2s.

[@Aquagenesis]

Ayyy I'm in a Daily Dose!!!!...on the wrong side with my unskilled Bushwhacker

[@xanrilteneb7673]

I’m still a fan of the pirates bane but those srm2s look satisfying

[@welvryn]

A buddy of mine used to run a Piranha with 12 machine guns and a larger engine and called it a Hummingbird. That thing was a menace, I wonder if you can run that in MWO.

[@Tewemeh2ter]

How dare you expose my favorite build! More everyone is gonna use my baby 😭

[@robertagren9360]

How dare you stand where Flea stood.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

When you wanted an SRM Catapult, but the store was only selling kiddy portions.

[@ironcladguildhand9321]

I'm curious, what's your opinion on BSPs and TComps? I've been poking around and not seen many, if any, builds you run with either of them

[@TheInsomniaddict]

BSPs you mean Beagle Active Probes? Worth it if running streaks, lrms, atms, or if you're a slower light hunter. BAPs can counter 1 ECM mech, meaning it can help you get support when you're being swarmed. Clan TComps are alright since they increase the chance to crit out enemies and increase ballistic speed/distance, plus give you better zoom. IS is harder to recommend since they give less benefits for the size, but since DHSes are bigger they can often be a good use of the final ton. My main Warhawk build is just 4xERPPC, a 6 ton (or around there) TComp, and the rest heatsinks. ERPPCs deal splash damage to nearby components, which can also crit. I've taken out both side torsos on an enemy mech a couple times by hitting their CTs. Extra speed/distance/view also helps with the Peeps.

[@jameslincoln4154]

@Baradul will run in any direction, as long as it’s “away” 😂

[@ricklee7171]

Baradul missed that chance to send airstrike when he was in the midst of the enemy but good play still

[@NicholasMarshall]

Wow did you also buy a stainless steel Locust from Discount Dan? Yeah, my Locust's leg also rusted off. Must have been a bad batch. Discount Dan wouldn't have sold us fake stainless steel would he?

[@nick_alderman]

"Meep-meep!"

[@reaperboy151]

How are you able to aim so well? I'm a new player, for me the leg rotation really screws me up

[@Artificer1911]

Same way you get to Carnegie Hall. Practice. Don't worry, you'll get there.

[@Cynnister-vy5tl]

First. To get the ball rolling.

[@nonaurbizniz7440]

180 with an added flamer would be optimal for this fit.

[@DTSephiroth]

9:57 "It's a very slow paced game... other than me running around like crazy." That's cause you're in a Locust. If you aren't running around like crazy, you're probably dead.

[@0KOrbU0]

Would a light mech with lots of flamers work?

[@admiralgalactica]

Yes but no, it depends you Run into a laserboat? Absolutely, lrm boat absolutely anything Else, nope youre fraked

[@karmadyllic]

It's an idea.

[@ghoulbuster1]

Not really, flamers only work if you have other weapons to shoot the over heated mech

[@screamingcactus1753]

Flamers can be crippling against certain builds, but are not a viable primary weapon. They do basically no damage themselves

[@Artificer1911]

If you have a friend and aren't concerned with match score, certainly.

[@BDA1137]

Why does it feel like I have watched the second game before...

[@alby910]

When I run laser boat , I get this map .

[@Lourthain001]

Notice you didnt comment on that "Timbies" title... Death Star....

[@Lourthain001]

Wich is to say exploiting/cheaters are driving me nuts with the "ESP" and getting cockpitt'd off the hip multiple times a day while running and twisting @ 110kph+.
