Funny I had this mech built, set, and tweeked first day it came out. This is by far my most favorite mech, and it should be banned/nerfed. This mech is a nightmare for ALL mechs, in the right pilots hands. The amount of times I have come around the corner behind a light with or without ECM and just one tapped things, is a ridiculously high number. The mech looks unmanageable, but when you tweek it right and utilize ( more like abuse) the MASC correctly (run it to 78% and just ride it when you can from there) , and quickly - don't hesitate to use it! - You can tear thru an enemy back line in mere seconds, and I mean Assaults and Heavies ... and anything light and fast ( lights and mediums) need to fear you as well, because your MASC *will catch them* and half your Alpha will bury them. I literally have 4 buttons set up - All left side weapons linked, mirrored on the right, then I have my LBX's and my Srm-6's linked individually - for heat management if needed, otherwise it's one left hand shot and one right hand shot and your dead son...... Suggestions, get rid of range skills , you are gonna hug them anyways , thats the point of MASC, get you in and out with precision and speed. Get rid of the Heat Containment, Like I said you are a Angel Dust induced Fat Locust, you aren't gonna/shouldn't be continuous fire platform. Dump those points into "Improved Casing" to reduce the and stop crit damage essentially.... making you even more of a tank beast.... Like I said this mech should be banned/nerfed. It fears NO mech .... unless you got range on it and it's in an open field- even then, if it can bob and weave and use it's MASC correctly, the sniper needs to fear it. Only little jumpy mechs that *hide* from it, live. If they engage it and it can get a shot off, light mech dies. And I have ran thru the gambit of assault mechs it has for "peers". And I have taken on 2 assaults at a time on multiple occasions and solod them with this *tyrant* of a machine. King Crab isn't so kingly anymore, Kodiaks turn into Teddybears, Atlas turn into Thesaurus, Direwolfs turn into puppy dogs , 100 ton IIC's are just too old .... I hope the new weapons platforms can kind of calm this mech down ....
Imagine you're in a hunchback, and this thing comes charging at you. You can't get away from it. You crap your little hunchpants. Now you're going to die hoping your corpse is spared the embarrassment of being found in such a state. Don't worry. After the Koloss is done with you, there wont be much left to find.
Hi thanks for the comment! I have had a look and found that I was using a "Zaku" weapon soundpack. I removed it when the Binary and XPL's came out because they are not supported in that sound mod. Hope this helps!
Hey Mate! Love this vid! Could you make a build video for a wolfhound? If you’re not taking recommendations then no worries man. Keep up the great work!
Only reason I didn't buy this mech is because it hurts too much when they always nerf them. I'm reconsidering though as you're literally paying for increased fun factors. Maybe it is worth it? Awesome games, Improvise!
Yo Mr I. Im all about inner sphere assaults (especially the two stalker ballistic variants) Did you say 79 kph? Wtf was gonna ask if I should get this. But yeah ok I'm gonna get it.
i hope they not going to farm some bucks before shutting down the game. because this mech looks too imba with its mounts even if pgi remove all quirks.
@@improviseMW Things like the HSL perks make sense, but I dunno why there are any heat/cooldown/laser duration/spread quirks on any variant. None of those belong on a mech that is completely capable of filling that many hardpoints while still having adequate cooling. The Koloss is just a particularly egregious example. It already gets significant accel/decel/turn buffs without MASC, can mount it's full complement of weapons, and goes some way to making LBX-20/SRM-6 builds more synced. Why the heat/spread quirks?
fantastic content, thanks for the shoutout homie.
As an assault main, my life has never been better. I’ve not pre ordered in years, but this was one of those rare times. Beautiful mech.

Absolute bonkers mech man
Great video. Can you tell me
The weapon sound in this video no longer activ? The current soundmod have no other weapon sound?
Hi thanks for the comment!

sure mate, big thanks !@@improviseMW
Id be interested in a video talking about what skills you feel are must haves in all of your trees.
Hey Mate! Love this vid! Could you make a build video for a wolfhound? If you’re not taking recommendations then no worries man. Keep up the great work!
Thanks man, I'll give it a go! I own 2 wolfhounds but have barely played them, time to give them another go!
Thanks dude!
Wow that was no cheap ace of spades either, tons of solos/kmdds
That looks wild. Just one tapping mechs.

Won't be nerfed for a while so your good lol

not filling in the top with big guns should be bannable
however it is a great and entertaining video!
i hope they not going to farm some bucks before shutting down the game. because this mech looks too imba with its mounts even if pgi remove all quirks.
why are lbx20 better than uac20??
haha great match!
I put it simple: O M G
I see they balanced this mech with that shit warhorn 😂😂
Pay to Win. They obviously don't care about balance in the game anymore. Cash grab > Balance
I think this mech is going to be nerfed, but hopefully not too much, still needs to be strong, simular to the Scorch.
