1) I guess, Colors get auto-unlocked for all my mechs right?

2) Camo-shemes: IF i unlock the expensive, non singleuse one (750 MC) does that count for ALL my Mechs? Or all my mechs of this type? (I ask cause the Camos seem to me named after the Mechs "Woodland-Catapult").

1) yes

2) cheaper camo unlocks it for that specific mech in your garage. The more expensive one unlocks it for all of the variants of that specific chasis in your garage and that youll ever buy.

The cheap one will give you the pattern for your current atlas. The more expensive will unlock it for every atlas you will ever buy

No, the cheap one is a one-use, it's not an unlock.
The expensive one is an unlock for every Atlas though.

Ah thank you.. so the bigger prices makes sense of i have like 10 Atlas... thats useless.

Would have gotten it if it would unlock the same Camo for all of my mechs, but if i have to buy singly for all Types.. naah.

Well, I can see that from the point of it having to be a different skin for every different model of mech.

The more expensive one is mainly for people who like to swap their cammo schemes around.

The expensive camo means you can swap it on and off an unlimited number of times. For instance, you and your friends could all get Phranken, drop together for a night, and switch to another camo the next day. Again and again.

The cheap camo means that if you ever switch camo later, it is gone forever.

I was wondering why PGI did that with the perma-unlock on a per-chassis basis like that. That makes more sense now. Now I just wish I had known that before I bought the full unlock for the Raven chassis... >_<

Cockpit items you buy 1 of each, Which can then be placed in whatever mech you want and removed as many times as you want. But it will only ever be in 1 mech at a time.

So just so I am completely clear as well. If I pay for the more expensive Camo Unlock it is available for use on any Mech of that same Chassis but, not a completely universal unlock for any Mech I may buy in the future?

Just that mech type.

If you buy the expensive pattern for your catapult, you will be able to apply and remove that skin from every catapult you ever own as many times as you want.

750mc for unlimited camo per chassis. If it were 750mc to unlock the camo for all chassis types, I would probably by them all.

At the current price, I won't be buying any. This pricing scheme is offensive, especially considering the camo patterns are exactly the same on every different mech chassis.

Give us some mech specific patterns, or make the 750mc purchase unlock for all mechs globally. Or why not tie a free global camo unlock to a 60 day premium purchase? I think that would be a fine motivator to get people to sub for longer periods.

I totally agree. 750MC for just one chassis is outrageous.

I really hope this is changed to an across all mechs unlock. Until then, no money from me either.
