I was wondering, with the new variants that have come out, what other in game mechs have in timeline variants (3052)? There's the Victor A for example.

Victor-A has been available for months in the game files.


At this point, it's unlikely well ever see it.

We'll see it.

Soon™.

Currently PGI's current system of monetization of new variants is what we're seeing already, so it's a matter of time.

True, probably building some other variants for a whole wave, rather than piecemeal release.

We had to ask specifically for a ECM heavy IS side and CTF 0X was delivered, I suppose if we ask hard enough we'll get some more Victors and others.

Maybe, the ECM Phract and 2C BattleMaster shows they don't always need a "wave"

They've used the 9-A's energy hardpoints to create the Dragon Slayer, but let that left torso ballistic slot rot.


We haven't seen it for sale yet.

I've asked Russ about the Victor-9A on Twitter a couple times but he completely ignored it and did not give any response.

It's not even a well kept secret (the mech)... but it's not like he's apt to reveal spoilers even when many of the clan loadouts that were farmed from their own data came to reality/surface.

I don't mean chassis, I'm talking about variants. Phract 0XP, Griff 2N, etc.

PGI will give us anything that we'll pay for, so any variant is game.

They just spread the release of variants out to pay for salaries and to create hype.
