Unofficial notice,

I heard next patch they're releasing a new item to make the game a more "tactical" experience:

Particle Fragmentation Array (RFA)

What it does is makes all PPC based weapons do 0 damage to the mech it is equipped on, as well as other mechs within 180m of the equipped mechs. Also, any enemy mechs within 180m have all friendly mechs on their radar show up as enemy mechs.

Successfully Narcing the equipped mech will disable RFA for 7 seconds.

Also, hostile (to each-other) RFA equipped units that are within 180m of each other cancel eachother out and disable the system completely.

All in the name of making the game have more "tactical" choices.

AC10s will also disable it for 5 seconds.

Only after 2 months of "testing"

Sorry, forgot that part. They'll also buff the AC10 to be vastly better than any other AC in the same patch.

So, it's a PPC nerf then?
And like ECM - the only counter to PFA is more PFA?
Have to see

I think you'll actually find that you have to fire AC10's at the section that it's mounted in to expose the array, then you have to switch to flamers or MG's to critseek it to disable it for 4 seconds. Then you repeat the process.

L2P.
