I know everything in the game would have to be non-canon but just imagine if you could build your way up to becoming a great house, or even first lord…

What mechs do you hope to see on 1st september DLC reveal?

2 hours ago we got the news the 1st of september we will know details about the next dlc! Many hope for Operation bulldog/serpent and i am also leaning towards that.

But what new mechs do you hope to see?

Im going with 3060-62 candidates and one wildcard.

  1. The Hellspawn

Because we need more medium mechs. And the hellspawn fits it well. And its already in mwo. 3062 might be a bit late...but never say never!

  1. The Thanatos

Lets follow up a juicy new IS medium mech with a juicy heavy one. The thanatos. Its fast. Packs a punch. Looks awesome. And we already have a model in MWO!

  1. The blood asp

Fan favorite of many. Even as a IS surrat i highly respect and praise the blood asp. And by praise i mean frikking terrified of it.

  1. The lancelot

My wildcard. I want it. I need it. Its an SLDF mech that is just wicked cool. The SLDF vintage model goes 97km/h and the downgraded succession wars model is basically a rifleman with 2 LL and a PPC. But its awesome.

Unpopular opinion..

I found chaos a bit... boring.

SoK... amazing.

I think it was the cut scenes that just did it for me. SoK cut scenes were amazing. Left me with an 'of my god' moment. Did the second time too. Chaos reigns.. Just felt a bit poor. Like it was missing something.

Still mercs in general, can't stop playing.

Just wanted to share.

PGI performed well financially with Chaos Reign thanks to loyal fanbase & free weekend event - EG7 finds the franchise strong and plans to continue future content according to plan (i.e. the DLC model) - here's to more Clans & Mercs DLC!

12 Rifle Sunder Hero

someone here was talking about the Hero sunder with Light rifle's and with all slots filled you only have space for 4(5 if you drop the heatsink) tons of ammo and a heatsink wich gives you roughly 11 shots and 4 left over rounds

to be honest i dont think setting up the Hero sunder like this is worth it

What's the best mech and why is it the Awesome?

Seriously it's as small as an assault mech can be which means it should actually be crap.

But I absolutely love it! i? It doesn't matter if I'm driving it or one of my crew!

I just love seeing those triple bolts every time anything moves!

If you think about it the game was lucky to survive nearly 2 years as an epic store exclusive with nothing but the vanilla game and mods sustaining it.

proc gen mission was 3rd partied

Just did a proc gen mission against smoke jags. Objective raid. Multiple dropships dropped lances and they fought it out...super weird. I've never seen this before. Had to share (pc, all dlc, nod mods)

DWF-B: is it supposed to be the rarest variant?

It's the year 3068 and I have yet to encounter a Direwolf-B. I have fought and salvaged multiple of all other DWF variants, but haven't even met a B in a mission. This is confirmed by the database showing zero encounters with this mech. I have done all mission types against all clans in Clan occupied space and I'm beginning to wonder if I'm doing something wrong or if I'm just unlucky? I've even come across multiple of every other Direwolf variant in industrial hubs. Is there somewhere I should be looking that I haven't yet?

Game loading wrong weapon?

anyone loving these MRM spitting cannons?

is there a reason why the MRM's are loading in as cannon's on the Vulture?

u/Enjoyer_of_40K — 22 hours ago

Question about 'Mech variants.

So, it's my understanding that some of the Hero 'Mech's (Hero Annihilator, Hero Champion, etc) are simply a variant of that mech, not a wholly unique, individual model. I know the Hero Zeus and Highlanders are supposed to be unique thanks to their modifications (I think.)

What the hell is Samson thought? (The Hero Sunder.) Is it supposed to be a variant of Sunder, or is it a unique Sunder? I'm sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense.

Is the ability to add Clan Active Probes to ANY mech intended behavior?

Since SoK launched nearly a year ago, we have been able to fit clan probes to any mech in the game, Clan or IS, regardless of whether they have an AP slot.

But the method for doing doing this makes it seem like a bug or oversight. You have to uncheck the "valid only" box on the inventory to be able add clan probes. Notably, this does NOT work for Clan ECM... only probes.

However, it's been nearly a year and a whole other expansion has come out and this jank method has stayed in the game. If it were a bug then one would think it would have been removed at this point.

Has there been any word on whether we were actually meant to be able to do this?
