Just great. I will admit I wonder how the legs fit in but its cool so it doesn't matter all that much.
Thank you for sharing.

Can this thing wield 2 rifles like one mech sized and another that fits in the users arms and have dual fire options. That image in my mind is just so awesome.

I really like how you gave the operator separate limbs for their actual arms. Do the legs of the user fit inside the "thighs" of the Exo-suit, or is this meant to be worn by a cybernetically enhanced operator?

The operators legs fit through the thighs and into the knee sections of the armor. The Yeti's knees are double-jointed, with one joint at the top connecting to the thigh, and one joint at the bottom connecting to the calf. Both joints operate in tandem, so the armor's leg doubles the bend of the operator's leg (i.e. if the operator bends his leg 30 degrees, the total bend of the armor's leg would be 60 degrees).

Thanks for the answer! It's pretty apparent a lot of thought and effort went into your work.

Landmate seems to be a main inspiration for this design. And that is good !

Indeed! It always seemed to me that the main arm/sub arm configuration of the landmates was a really elegant solution for having a mech that's substantially bigger than a person, but too small to have a full cockpit.

Wat was allways troubling me in landmates and exo-armor designs in general, is an inner thigh/groin protection. I just can`t figure out how to make it using plate armor, while retaining required degree of freedom. You can allways go for a soft cover, but it isn`t that technicaly sound, plus, harder to model

I concur with this point, the most common Anti-Powered Armor weapons would likely be Landmines.
Anti-Tank rockets (unless they're Homing) would likely be too slow for an Exo-suit,
and something like a Recoiless rifle (a simple stationary anti-tank cannon) would be too cumbersome.
Flamethrowers, Molotov Cocktails and other Incendiary weapons might work unless the filtration system is present on the suit
a Molotov in any of the air-vents of a Tank will kill the crew from the heat and smoke inhalation.
That or maybe something like the old shaped charge Vietnamese Anti-Tank Lunge Mine "spears" which killed the soldiers using them, however exo-suit user might survive, or an exceptionally well armored infantryman.
