This build was inspired by Snuggles Time when the patch was released that killed the 4 x UAC-10 build. He suggested the shotgun build and it works quite well, so big shout out to Snuggles. I kept the 400XL as I am a tight arse and couldn't be bothered spending money on another engine
Makes me wonder how much a mech crowbar weighs. It's also a whole bunch of cbills for a marginal increase in firepower and weapons that are liable to be blow off before running out of ammo.
C-bills are no obstacle for min-maxing... Since KDK-3 is still less mobile, torsos will take most of the damage and you will usually have at least one arm left. This build has free heat to use. I can easily get four alphas in a game without heat problems. Easy extra 50 damage. I will trade 50 to 100 damage per game for a slight speed decrease. Plus the arms offer the only defense against mechs hugging you. Hell you can’t hit a Catapult if it is hugging you.
Just like the LBX, this has almost no ghostheat to speak of, but I figure it's more focused from a slightly longer range than 4LBX10.
5/5, I was going to write off the KDK 3 because I HATED the stock build, but this... this build is love. This build is life. I was laughing out loud the first time I took it out and racked up kill after kill after kill. Thank you for saving the Kodiak for me.
What about mix'n'match? Best of both or functionally getting neither? I figure you can get the 2 AC10s going at longer range (hence the extra ton of ammo) but once you get in close, you can just use all 4 and still enjoy the crits from 2 LBX10s.
5/5, Even though the Kodiak isn't meta anymore and the Sleipnir and Fafnir can arguable run it better, this is still a very solid and fun build. The Kodiak does have higher mounts than the IS equivalents. _ Skill tree: https://kitlaan.gitlab.io/mwoskill/...fe2111cff7f000058080100000080820100#s=Weapons 2xUAC10 2xLB10X, or 2xUAC10 2xUAC5 are also solid. 4xLB10X has the most reliable DPS, but doesn't have the same midrange presence.
