Do you own any other camos for any chassis? If not, then that's the only one available, since it's the only one you own.

I can explain this one.

Truth be told, PGI hasn't had the time to do the actual textures of the skins beyond the Locust.

The Shadowhawk skins will unlock next month. The Thunderbolt the month after. The Battlemaster after that.

Nope...they are treated like Hero Mechs for camo.

It annoys me too...I'd rather forego the "special" camo. But I think it is because they have unique geometry. So all the camo patterns would need to be customized for them special, and it is too much time and work.

I believe the normal camo patterns are available for the standard variants, because they use normal geometry. It might be that you need to buy additional camo for it to be equipped though. If they can't use normal camo patterns, it might be because they are not officially released yet...only people with Phoenix packages can use them right now.

Case in point...the Locust is the only one officially released so far.

All of the mechs released recently do not get complete camo selection until the regular variants are available for c-bills. I'm sure additional camo options will come online next month for the Shadowhawk
