Just making sure I'm reading this right: 2,000,000 cbill Max Bonus from CW matches only, correct?

Doesn't affect the 12,000,000 (150,000* x 20 x 4) cap from the other game modes? *special mechs

Thank you Russ and PGI.
I'm sure some will complain about this (why I have no idea) but you cant make everyone happy. I have invested $thousand+$ easy into this game. I'm satisfied were we are. Happy about where we are going. Weekend give backs like this make what I have spent worth it and reassure me spending more is a good decision.

You get up to a maximum of 20 qualifying matches per weight class






wonder if this will finally diversify the mech queues a bit............probably will, or probably means everyone will just cram lrms to any mech with a missile hardpoint. either way, lets hope it doesn't mutate into another mercenary event again.


also: I need the cbills to get another radar derp so good thing this event is happening.......

Great event. Should be easy to achieve, as I usually get at least 40 match score, even with a bad match.

Are the CW matches counted separate from the weight-class public drops?

So... if my math is right...

The most you can make with regular mechs per weight class is 2 million... 3 million if using the "special mechs".

Total then becomes 8 million for regular mechs, and 12 million for special mechs for all 4 weight classes. This requires 80 total matches.

For CW... that seems rather disappointing. You would need 40 matches max to get 2 million... and only 20 in the best case scenario.

The CW one seems like a bad deal TBH.

I'll grind, but the math seems weird otherwise.

CW is something you can do after you max out the pug drops. And 40 max is only if you meet the qualifying score of 80 (no light rush please)...
