    This is what has been my main ride for a long time now.

    At first glance, this is not a very good build.

    Try it.

    You are a blur, moving at Clan or Medium speeds, nobody seems to expect it, so it keeps your precious side torsos safer. The LBX10's generate null heat when you are blasting away with them. On any map, you will cool down while snapping off shotgun blasts. Pinpoint is possible at the ranges this engages at, that's why they are in the arms, so you can quickly track and slam anything with a face-full of buckshot. It really gives the light mechs a hard time. Those ape hanging arms have a great slew left and right, get used to shooting mechs at full extension.

    Interestingly, I've found that the LBX's are a great suppression weapon. A couple of long range shots into a gaggle will make the whole bunch retreat through damage fear. It also gives you those all important assists, it's easy to tag anybody with a couple of shotguns.

    Late game, this thing is a monster. Anything with armour exposed, you can zip into close range, kill it, then get out. Kind of a mopping up specialist.

    STD version. Also moved the weapons, my personal preference to have at least some backup in the torso, just in case.
