The time has come to honour the workhorses - the steadfast workers who are there, rain or shine, no matter the hour, side torsos or no side torsos. Those workers.. are the Raven 3L, Hunchback 4SP, Catapult K2, and Stalker 5S. When you need a quick ankle biter to harass that LRM boat, when you want that Mech that your enemies will blame if you win - the Raven 3L is there. When you need a Mech that can bring versatility, the ability to take forever to be destroyed, all in a cool-looking case of metal - the Hunchback 4SP is there. When you need to put gauss rifles where machine guns were, and nothing where PPCs were, and then stride forth and pick off jumping pilots - the Catapult K2 is there. When you absolutely need a ton of missiles and lasers, when 'just one more SRM6' is all you want, when you just can't decide if you want an SRM boat or an laser boat so you pick kinda both together - the Stalker 5S is there.

So to honour these Mechs, we give you - the Employee of the Month sale:

30% off the cost of the Raven 3L, Hunchback 4SP, Catapult K2, and Stalker 5S

• Raven 3L
  
  • Now 1,645 , Reg 2,350
• Hunchback 4SP
  
  • Now 1,019 , Reg 1,455
• Catapult K2
  
  • Now 1,488 , Reg 2,125
• Stalker 5S
  
  • Now 3,059 , Reg 4,370

And to help you get elited up on your new Mech, we're offering 40% off 3 Day Premium Time: reg 650 , now 390 .


When is this sale? From Friday the 24th of May, 10am PDT - To Tuesday the 28th of May 10am PDT.

So get in there, and give these venerable Mechs the salute (and grudging admiration, just admit it) they deserve.

You're a funny guy. I'll kill core you last.

At least mention the dual AMS on the Stalker!

Otherwise, I can commend you for the "good" work at trying to give a package that someone can spend $6.95 (4SP + Premium) on and I hope you can start to bundle starter kits once UI 2.0 is out

haha another sale on Cbill mechs for MC. Does anyone actually buy non hero mechs with MC?

I sold mechs bought via MC for C-Bills once. That was when I was still mech romney and willing to spend money on MC at all. Currently... I'll wait for the MC sale.

[Vassago Rain]

The stalker is a good deal.
K2 should be a permanet discount GRAB DEAL for its usability to new players.
4SP is pretty bad right now, with no set date to fix it up.
Raven 3L has the problem of needing expensive components you're gonna have to grind for, anyway.
The prem time is pretty nice. but not really that special.

You should do some kind of event grab deal for a full kit of mech, cockpit statue, hanging bling-bling, and a matching flag.

[Buso Senshi Zelazny]

Raven 3Ls don't usually come to play without their side torsos...

Perfect timing on the premium time sale. I need more money and GXP

[Goose]

[Skoaljaw]

Groovy... I had my eye on the K2 for a while now thanks Garth!

[RoboCriminal]

I have to admit, the descriptions cracked me up.

[Mason Grimm]

(puts my wallet away again waiting for that MC sale)

EDIT:

Or a mechbay sale
Or an Ilya sale
Or a Highlander sale

[Appogee]

It actually seems like a good sale to me. I may well get the 3L and the Stalker. I will definitely get the 3-day premium time.

[PoLaR]

The 3L and 4SP are great 'Mechs to sell, as they are kings among their fellow variants.

Thanks again PGI.

[Deathlike]

I have no interest in the sale... I've played most of the mechs (minus the 4SP).

The only bad deal is technically the 5S, if only because the XL engine inflates the price. If it were a 3F or even 3H, it would be cheaper.

Although, the 5S should be getting more play because of the current meta, which doesn't make it a bad deal anyways.

[C E Dwyer]
