    A simple fit that performs solidly. Cresting hills at a half click is good, but you can brawl just fine too.

    I've been running mine with a STD325, 6x MPL instead.
    This chassis is ridiculous.

    LB10s and meds on a Marauder is a seriously old trick ;)

    5/5,
    Man, this variant was agonizing. I tried 2xRAC5 + 6xML. I tried 2xRAC2 + 6xMPL. I tried 1xUAC10, 1xUAC5 + 6xMPL. I settled on this 2xLB10X and 6xML. I went with a STD350 though in lieu of the STD360. It gets you better cooling:



    Max the cooldown on the skilltree to stack with the 10% ballistic cooldown, and get your LB10X's firing as fast as possible. I'm going with this, your mileage may vary:

    Almost done skilling it up... it has grown on me. Pulled a couple 1k games. You have a good option to swap out 1 heat sink for AMS and a 1/2 ton of AMS ammo. So many missiles these days...

    Make no mistake, the quad LB10X Cyclops is a better mech than this at 10 tons lighter. This can work for solo quickplay, but high tier group play versus skilled opponents this thing is going to suffer.
