I understand why the Gazelle DropShip is seen on the tarmac at the Space Port in River City but why does the broken in two Gazelle on Frozen City have Mechs inside of it? Did someone not read that the Gazelle is a troop and vehicle transport, not a Mech transport? The Leopard is the lance size Transport lol

[von Pilsner]

Maybe it crashed on top of them...

^--- and to you go all the fancy internets.

I haven't played yet today, but unless something changed from last night I have never seen 'Mechs In the ship on Frozen City.

Are they there since the new patch?

[Monky]

They've been there for a while but it can be hard to spot, step inside the 'breach' in the ship, then look to the back of the ship, some smoldered atlas and hunchbacks in there.

They have been there a while. Next time your team is winning go in and have a look around...

EDIT: Monky beat me to it...

They've been there ever since the Dropship got opened up.

Easy answer... "stowaways".

Thank you, I was just recently looking for an example of something pedantic. Now I have one.

You got to go into the ship to see the burnt Altas. The problem is that there is never a game where you can call a ceasefire and just explore the map.

If you do go into check out the dropship, do so when it is 7-1 for your side and everyone is hunting the last player - probably the safest time.

[Livewyr]

Do testing grounds until you find Frozen city, then explore.

He is now free to explore in training provided it gives him the map.

Cool, thanks for the responses.

I'm home now and am going to jump on and check It out after I eat!

The Mech carrier on Alpine Is really rad too, holding a busted atlas and other parts.

PGI, It's the little things that count

Sure, some people get mad at splatcats. But you haven't seen mad until you shut down next to the dummy mechs in the dropship, wait for someone to go through, and then splat them in the back for a one hit kill.

You know, maybe those Mechs walked in there after the crash sometime and then got destroyed by enemy forces while "exploring".

[p00k]

so, time to drive my atlas in there, power down, and wait for someone to come visit?

Nope they are still in their drop cradles. Locked down and secured for transit. They were there when it crashed and got burned with the rest of the hold.

LOL i didnt think there was anything other than bases on Alpine. Thanks for that one!! As for frozen City... the Gazelle has 3 mech inside of it. An Atlas, Hunchback and next to the Atlas buried in the snow on the ground is a Jenner. Even though the Gazelle is not meant to hold Mech and does here for some reason... it may have had a full lance on it and there may be yet a 4th mech laying outside somewhere that got thrown from the crash. Lets play where's Commando... i... i mean Waldo lol

[Escef]

Maybe they were being smuggled? Who'd look for mechs inside of a vehicle transport?

nope... the Atlas and Hunch are still in their Harnesses for transport.

i watched someone do it with their Centurion lol. He was being chased, ran in backed up to the wall like the other 2 mech, powered down and the enemy team thought he was one of those mech lol
