Spider-mech. Spider-mech. Taking an x-pulse machinegun trek. Harrasses opfors of any size, Careless jumping will crack your thighs. Look out! Here comes the Spider-mech. Is it fun? Listen, hon. It's fast; it's jumpy; It's 30 tons. Oh yeah. There goes the Spider-mech.
There's something so invigorating about whipping around the map in a Locust like a mad man before getting annihilated by an enemy assault that can aim. XD
I see that baradul saw us running around in Spider LargeXPulse setups. Never thought of adding the machine guns though. We just slapped 10 jumpjets on it instead.
This is a 5K build, it plays closer to a pirates bane with jumpjets and no ecm, youre talking about the 5V, thats the only Spider that can do the 10 jumpjets and it has a lower laser duration and CD making the Large laser more viable by itself.
I’ve actually been seeing a lot of spiders in game lately, lots of light PPCs, or laser and machine guns. This one is the first XPulse I’ve seen though, almost makes me want my own
its always the same old story, made a fatal mistake thinking about having an ice cold timbiqui dark after the battle, that must be some really good brew
I remember first reading about the Timbiqui dark in the Black Thorns supplement, I think Hawk mentioned it in one of his brief journal entries. Strangely enough, one of his other entries was about how he contracted a nearly fatal disease. That story was one of the things that helped me through my own close-to-death infection.
For some reason, whenever I run something like this, and go scouting, the rest of the team seems to think that it's a good opportunity to follow and draw all the attention to me.
That looks like a fun build, I might have to try it! Never been a huge fan of the spider but you might have changed my mind haha. Thanks for another great daily dose my friend!
MWO has an insane number of mechs and variants, and at some point or another the devs and Cauldron always make sure each of them are relevant, if not OP, at some point.
Hey Baradul, you should consider revisiting the 6xSRM6 Chadapult. It’s lots of fun and I’ve had many a game with 1000+ damage and I even almost got Ace of Spades with it.
my only problem with this kind of build on the spider is that low mounted laser in the center makes you have to expose so much to shoot back. it gets blocked easily. Locust is the way to do this. you don't get MGs but its smaller and the weapon location is better placed.
Do love the Locust LPL build (played before X-Pulse update)--the duration/cooldown quirk basically made it a scalpel. I would hug the friendly assault mechs and just pop my head out to harass the enemy once they're already engaged with the bigger threat. You're definitely right that the Spider is at a disadvantage with that playstyle, especially since its movement is a lot more stable (easier to target its specific components), but Baradul's aggressive playstyle makes it work.
@@Thomas-fz9xw yea I've been back and forth between LPL and XLPL on my locust. I can't decide which is better. if the LPL cooldown and duration could be just a bit faster I think it would be the winner.
I don't like the facetime of X pulse lasers so I still run Large Pulse on my locust. It technically has less DPS but you can focus the damage a little easier to specific components I feel like.
@@SchwhatNow i think i found a better build than even the single lpl. Go xl170, shs, and do a LL or Erll plus 4 lmgs. The LL is also quick as hell in this. 600 plus range and 4 lmgs to back you up when targets are hurting. Super consistent and the LL is fast enough to be anoying. Durarion is like .35 so somethinf
@@Bigbacon You definitely could do that, though in my testing that runs way too hot with single heat sinks for my tastes. That said, I did manage to fit a Large and 4 LMG with DHS and intend to test that out. Requires some shaving of the arm armor but they are small targets.
I have started to gain a reputation for being the crazy spider pilot in MWO. Some days I can attract the enemy whole team for a few minutes, im usually playing a 5A with max jumpjets and relevant skills, ams and 2 er mediums lasers, but i also have one of these with this exact build. The ansani with lmgs mrm 10 and er mediums is more fun for me and less face time than this build.
Hitreg in this game is terrible ever since one of the updates several months ago. See instances constantly where attacking player is hitting the opposition, but nothing registers on the enemy.
What happened to trying to rotate evenly one at time through mwo rt and mw5??? Bad enough all live streams are now only mwo but 3 days 3 video for mwo booo booo
Spider-mech. Spider-mech.
Taking an x-pulse machinegun trek.
Harrasses opfors of any size,
Careless jumping will crack your thighs.
Look out!
Here comes the Spider-mech.
Is it fun?
Listen, hon.
It's fast; it's jumpy;
It's 30 tons.
Oh yeah.
There goes the Spider-mech.
Stuck in my head now and I'm not even mad.
Spider one of the funnest, usually got ERlarge and engage long distance untill some back armor is exposed.
From the video description I thought Baradul had somehow managed to cram 5 large x-pulse lasers into one Spider mech. Alarming, and terrifying.
Me too! I was a bit disappointed only seeing one
heat sink go brrr
I was thinking like "Did they remove that large flashing text when you override?"
Nope, nope they didn't.
Thanks for the uploads man! Love 'em.
I always think I should like the Spider, but the Locust, Flea, and Arctic Cheetah just work way better for me.
Spiders are great for objective based gameplay. They can be a lot trickier outside of that.

6:59 hot damn Atlas got headcapped!
I still like your light-hearted approach very much.
09:10 that marauder is OP. Every time I shoot one it feels like I'm shooting an Atlas
I enjoy how much fun you are having with the X pulse lasers!
That laugh as you got your overheated mech blapped off the field, you can recognize the sportsmanship right there!

I'm not convinced the mgs are worth it. I'd rather have the jjs or more engine/heatsinks/whatever
Good to see an actual good Spider build. I feel like the Spider gets overlooked at times, so seeing a good spider build is great. 🙂

@@ReinFreedom Cool.
This is basically the mech version of running around and poking people with a stick while going "hey, watcha doin'?"
7:01 That poor atlas got headshoot
I'm happy that you are back on Mwo content, lots of players are.back on Mwo too
Always good content !!🎉❤

Haha me too!
Holy crap dude! Great twitch aiming. You have inspired me to reinstall this game. I'm pumped to play it this weekend. Awesome content.
That looks like a fun build, I might have to try it! Never been a huge fan of the spider but you might have changed my mind haha. Thanks for another great daily dose my friend!
I've had a 5k collecting dust for like 7 years, I guess it's time to pull it out, lol.

Salute to Voltron, well played
That could be my new favorite Daily Dose.
Whenever i play a spider like this, i hear the sound in my head of the spider from centipede.
Spider acting like a gnat. Thanks for the video.

Can you please bring back the Mechwarrior 5 Merc’s vids
Definitely two fun matches!
Love it.
Your friendly neighbor ass annoying spider mech luv it👍
Sehr schöne Spiele! Es hat wirklich Spass gemacht es zu anschauen.
The suffering enemies are impressive!
Danke!

"save some of the machine gunnery" (has 32 rounds left)
1 large x pulse 2 small xpulse 3 dhs more. 220 engine and 3 jjs.
Paper cutter.
Hi I'm not here. Lol😂

LOL. Go V O L T R O N go!
That was soooo annoying - I want one.!!
Lol rookie mistakes were made!
Mechwarrior 5 dead ? :/
What happened to trying to rotate evenly one at time through mwo rt and mw5???
Bad enough all live streams are now only mwo but 3 days 3 video for mwo booo booo
Whine harder!~
MWO is the shit. MW5 is only against AI. Boring.
Agree, mwo is garbage
Any reason there is no Mechwarrior 5 videos anymore and it’s all this online garbage? Would love to see them come back and less of the online stuff
You really wasted your time typing that.
You have posted cringe!
Bro, nice makeup and blouse, not.
