Purchaed the atlas hero mech. It is getting bonus exp but not 30% bonus c bills? Thought that was the purpose of the hero mechs. Have several pics of end stats with exp bonus for mech line and prem time bonus. No bonus for c bills for mech just prem time.

There is no hero atlas yet. Only heroes are listed in game. Alternatively there are Champion mechs that give exp bonus.

It seems alot of people are making this mistake - perhabs we need to point it towards PGI that people are misreading the differences between Champion Mechs(C) and Hero Mechs.
But to be honest I think UI 2.0 will have a seperate sales list for both - thus fixing the problem.

Still its ofc sad that you misread the item you bought, but it was never said anywhere that Champion mechs would recieve the 30% c-bill bonus.

Easy way to tell the difference

Champions are standard designation mechs with a C after - AS7-RS©
(So far there are 6 I think)
F - Jenner
5N - Dragon
RS - Atlas
A - Centurion
4P Hunchback
A1 - Catapult

Hero mechs have names - Ilya Muromets, Pretty Baby, etc.
(So far their are 13)
The Death Knell - Commando
Yen-Lo-Wang - Centurion
X-5 - Cicada
Golden Boy - Kintaro
Flame - Dragon
Fang - Dragon
Ilya Muromets - Cataphract
Firebrand - Jagermech
Protector - Orion
Pretty Baby - Awesome
Heavy Metal - Highlander
Misery - Stalker
Dragon Slayer - Victor

These 4 chassis will be a long time coming for Hero mechs because of the Founder's packages which gave a 25% c-bill bonus to the founder's mechs (we are expecting the same treatment for the 6 Phoenix Mechs, long wait for heroes).Some of us would like to see it happen sooner though as the true hero mechs have something unique in their hardpoints.

Catapult C1
Hunchback 4G

Thanks russsian wolf. that sucks. purchased it from the hero tab under purchase. though all the mechs there make extra. Is there a way to get the mc back to purchase a proper hero mech?

edit...
i have gone back in. it does have a different icon color for the champion mechs. wish somewhere in the descriptions it explained the bonus for that. every other game they show that. warthunder, world of tanks. why is this so hard? So they give xp bonus, but not cbill bonus. and rest give cbill and xp bonus. that matches up with what I am seeing in the after action details.

only thing you can do is contact support and see if they will.
