{{Quote|"When Clan Wolf clusters invaded Satalice, Oeverste MacGalliard used guerrilla tactics in an attempt to disorganize the clanners. This strategy was thwarted by Clan aerospace supremacy, reducing mobility and leaving no place to hide. Recent volcanic activity has turned the terrain into a unique and unforgiving battlefield."|Map introduction}}

The '''Locust IIC''' is a [[Clan]] light mech. While it carries considerably low armor for a light mech, it makes up for this with its high movement speed clocking in at 130 km/h (181 km/h with MASC), 360° Torso yaw to see in any direction and hit-and-run weapons loadouts. A front-line unit making it a excellent anti-infantry BattleMech with capabilities to harass heavier BattleMechs. Care should be taken piloting this mech from the top of a hill, one of the few occasions where the poor lower torso pitch will be felt and can be punished.
 +
 
 +
 
 +
==Roles and Gameplay Hints==
  
−
==Overview==
+
===Prime===
−
If you like it hot, this is the map for you. Inferno features the highest [[heat]] floor of any map in the game at a staggering 225 degrees. Assets with loadouts that cause sharp heat spikes are often unusable, and even some cooler-running assets will struggle with the reduced heat capacity available. A very important thing to note is that while the heat floor is very high, heat dissipation is '''not''' impacted signficantly. Your heat sinks will work largely as they would on most other maps. Flamers are very popular on Inferno and can be quite effective when deployed in a large brawl.
+
The role of a striker mech is to lay down hurt to the enemy while some other friendly unit is taking the damage. Should your damage tanking mate fall victim to it, you most probably next to die too.<br>
 +
Having that aside, let it be known the [[CERSL|Clan Extended Range Small Laser]] has the damage profile nearly equaling that of the [[ML|standard medium laser]] (5:7 damage per hit) we see across the Inner Sphere. This in effect means, this unit has almost 5 medium lasers worth of damage, or there about.<br>
 +
Not bad, right? Now get in the mech and ''go get'em tiger!''<br>
 +
The [[BAP]] will provide extra 200m of detection range and the [[iJJ]] ease hasty departures behind massive obstacles, should the need for that suddenly arise.
  
−
The map features numerous lava pools and flows, which will rapidly overheat your asset and kill you should you fall into them. Use the map and zoom in if you are still learning the map's layout as it can save you from a frustrating death in this manner.
+
===Variant A - ''"Al-Azif"''===
 +
{{Fluff}}
  
−
Inferno is a very center-based map, due to the 3.0x capture zone at the central caldera. This capture zone is effectively shaped like a large donut, meaning that the entire caldera must be clear of opposing players in order to flip the zone. The size of the capture zone allows for stalling/blocking tactics not commonly found on other maps, especially with [[Battle Armor]]. Brawls are frequent, though sniping from the high ground using [[Gauss Rifle]]s is an effective tactic too.
+
===Variant B===
 +
{{Fluff}}
  
−
The side bases on Inferno, which only allow buying & repairing up to 65t 'Mechs plus the [[Warhammer]] and [[Nova Cat]], have been known to break when a 'Mech goes critical inside the bay, which can vastly alter the game flow of a typical Inferno game. As a result, Inferno is not often included in [[Terrain Control]] map rotations. Repair bays can be found at C5 and F4, however your team will have to supply an [[APC]] to enable reloading ammo at these locations.
