I have an issue unlocking the "master" level in the pilot lab on certain mechs and I am just reporting it to see what everyone else experiences. I have logged on and off and restarted the game so the issue does not appear to be related to a slow data update after completing elite levels.


1) I have 3 different mechs (2 lights and a medium) all with the master level unlocked but not yet purchased. The master level is yellow coloured and I could spend GXP to complete it. In each of these cases I have only completed the Basic level 8/8 in two other variants for each mech. I did not do any Elite level skills on any of the other variants. In this case, I no longer own any of the other variants since I only played them sufficiently to unlock the master level on the one variant that I was interested in.

2) I have 3 Stalkers at the moment as welll ... Stalker-3F, 5S and 5M. The 5S and the 5M have completed 4/4 at elite and the 3F has completed 8/8 basic. In this case the master level is still greyed out for the 5S and 5M. I do not have the option of spending my GXP to complete the master level for these mechs ... even though I have completed the Basic level 8/8 on all 3 and the Elite level on 2/3.

There is clearly a bug.

EITHER one only needs the Basic proficiencies on 3 variants to complete the master level in any specific variant (in which the case the second example is a bug)

OR you are supposed to complete Elite 4/4 on 3 variants to unlock master (in which case the first example is a bug)

The only difference in the two cases is that in example 1 ... I do not own three variants for each of the mechs ... I sold them as soon as master was unlocked ... just like a lot of other folks ... since the other variants were much less effective.

So how is it supposed to work? What have other folks found as the way to unlock the "master" level of a mech? Unfortunately, for myself and possibly many others, if example one is the bug it would cost millions of cbills to re-buy mechs and a lot of play time to level them up.

You need to get 8/8 Basics for 3 variants to unlock Elite for any of the individual variant.

You need to get 4/4 Elite for any 3 mechs of the same class (eg. light) to unlock Master for any of the individual mech.

Your unlock will not be lost even if you sell your mech, when you buy it back you can continue to unlock the remaining mech tree.

You do not need to own a variant that you have completed to finish unlocking the mech tree on the other variants.

I saw this as well. I unlocked all the elites on an Atlas D-DC, but I had two other Atlas variants that had only the basic skills unlocked (no elite skills). The D-DC let me unlock the master, even though my two other variants were 0/4 elite.

Although Senaiboy correctly states how it is supposed to work, there is a bug.

If you complete 8/8 basics for 3 variants, it unlocks Elite in all.

But all you have to do to gain access to the Master level, is to complete 4/4 Elite skills in ONE variant. As soon as you do this, even if you don't have any Elite skills in any other variant, you gain access to the Master proficiency in that variant.

This has been true for about 2 months now.
