5/5,

65tonnage Mech but Limited free weight for Guns. So let's do some PewPew Surgeon, add some MGs and a TC1 for higher Crit-chance. Now Go and Superlaser Vomit on some Foe's Rears or Sidetorsos or Legs, while strike like a fast moving Ninja and quickly return back into the Shadows ! You Can do it.

I took this build and stripped off 1/2 ton ammo, a ML and put an extra Heatsink in.

I went in heavy on Heat Containment, Cool Run, Heat Gen, Armor and Mobility. All the Speed Tweaks as well.
I can Alpha three time on Tourmaline without overheating which means it's a Tough little SOB in a brawl that can handle the Heat.
The MGs are great for finishing off any mech that I created Crit areas on with the lasers.

 

I've been at a loss what to do with last event's free LBK-Prime and took a nosedive with the stuff I came up with.
This build however quickly earned its place in my garage after some minor modifications.

I removed the TC1 and some ammo, while adding two additional Double HS.
The Large Pulse Laser went to the left ST, gaining the whole right side of the mech as shield.

Some investment in the survival skilltree plus the armor and structurequirks make this mech surprisingly sturdy.

Edit: Update reflecting new gear.

 

Rainer's version is the build I've found most effective on the Linebacker for my style after trying a number of variations. I found on other builds the cooldown too slow or the heat too high for the harasser style I like to play.
For me, this builds works in delivering a good punch with the HLL while maintaining a sustained barrage of fire with the LMGs and ERMLs. The LMGs keep you in someone's face while waiting for the cycle or sliding away to cover, but are also good enough to crit out damaged mechs for the kills when heat is spiking. Great update on a solid build.
