After getting the STK-5M, I decided to get the regular STK-3F (non champion) as my 3rd variant to complete my basic skills and unlock mastery for the Stalker.
8 million c-bills and a few matches later, I realized that the 3F doesn't count as a 3rd variant if you already own the 3F(C).
As a new player, I had asked someone in a game and they told me it counted, but now I realize it doesn't.
The game doesn't tell you either. There's no warning telling you you can't use the mech you're about to buy for unlocking the mastery skills.
I emailed support asking them if I could swap my 3F for a different variant, but it's been roughly 24 hours and I haven't heard anything back.
Guess I keep waiting?
