There are colors to the new skin. They're known as "Buccaneer" Black, Red, and White, and are automatically applied when you attempt to purchase the skin.

[El Bandito]

I was going to buy the Buccaneer camo for my A1 but then I remembered that the enemy can't see my skulls and crossbones from the front cause I always have my hatch open.

Screw that.

That's OK, they also can't see "Warning Missiles Incoming" on the other side, so it's a fair trade.

what's the 24/7 reference on Highlanders?

and GTGFST is Gotta Go Fast i guess?

[The Mech behind you]

I think you have to take the 24/7 reference with the DFA. Dead from above 24/7. Like the Big Deal from the Atlas knuckles or the 'Cheat mando'

The real question is whether you're willing to pay a heavy/low-end assault mech's MC cost for the pattern and its custom paint.

It is significantly cheaper than the cheap paint colors. 125MC is acceptable to me. But the cost means I am unlikely to buy it except on Mechs I know I will keep and play permanently. And so far, I only have one that fits that description and it is a hero mech. So I can't use this right now.

This is a neat pattern. I really love that it is unique to every mech. That is worth the extra cost.

Highlanders in Lore are known for something called a "Highlander Burial"...which is Death From Above (Jump jets). Because the Highlander is so heavy, DFA pretty much finished anything you used it against.

The 4P has 2 texts on it: "Sun Stroke" on the back of the hunch, and "Redliner" Both are rather amusing concidering how hot the mech is and how often you run on that red line before overheating ;D Also, all of the Hunchies seem to have the Annarchy "A" on the CT. Hah!

Ha, this is better than I thought. PGI should've advertised this more.

[Odanan]

Thanks for describing the cammos, it was very nice of you... But now, where the frak are the pictures?

They have a lot of goof stuff they don't advertise. I don't know if it's laziness or if they don't truly value their art department.

I see they are poking fun at how hugely toad they made it. That's pretty sad.

[Oriius]

Looking at the preview (not got the MC to buy it) I can't actually see the stuff written on the Cents gun arms, I must be going blind. :\


It is a cool one though, shame they didn't write something on the Cent shield arm. (seems like it'd be a perfect place to)

[stjobe]

Here's Buccaneer Spidey (colours are PC Gamer Black, Pyramid, and Gamboge):


Skull with eye-patch on left shoulder:


"ITSY" on right shoulder:

I got it from the preview too. The words are right below the barrels on the 9A and 9D. The 9AL has it written behind the lasers on the arm. There's only a skull painting on the shield.

Seems like Trebs are the only ones without words or I just can't find them. And I don't get the Mk-1 on Stalkers

I haven't been excited about buying a skin / pattern for anything, until now ...

I love my JR7-F, and this is perfect.

I don't think I've been this happy over a $0.50 purchase in a long time.

PGI's art department rocks! The mechs look great. The sparks, fire, and explosions look great. Hell, even the maps look good for the most part.

[The Mech behind you]

Found sth new ingame and updated my list:

The HBK-4H has 'Shootn N Lootn' in front and above its gun

Sounds like a reason to break out my SP again (I was waiting for SRM fix). That's always been my "pew, pew.. fwoosh" mech. I'm liking this design, and I hope there are more camo's that do similar things.

I'd love the see the celtic knots scheme used by the Sixth Donegal Guards. I'd be totally down with that.

Yeah wait for the fix. 3 hits no damage this morning before work. Grrr.
