Hey guys!
I am new in MWO(about 4 weeks old). Bought some mech already, Orion already mastered, but Atlas is my favorite.
Atm I would buy a D-DC and want "**** my car".
I searched free redeem codes for skin or color, but I found "only" Razor dices.

Any1 can give me code or link for redeem color/skin? (Like the PcGamer, what closed already )

[Redshift2k5]

There are no codes available for free skins or paints.

The only ones we had ran out a year ago (last fall's PC gamer skin).

You can unlock some colours using only c-bills but they're not that great, if you won't buy mc then try waiting for the loyalty system which will probably reward some camo and paint

Thank you for info

I am not sure if you can still buy the E version of the PC gamer or not, but here's the link.

I would imagine if they are still selling it, the code would still be good. Give it a try if you have the cash, it gets you a red a black and a grey if I recall, dont remember if there is a special skin or not.

It's called PC Gamer Red, Black, and Grey, but no skin/camo. Supposedly they are slightly different from the "standard" colors, but from what I've heard not by much.

Previously the PC gamer colors, the Phranken, Buc and Phoenix colors were virtually identical just slightly brighter or darker. They recently made some changes to that (as of a few months back).



The skin/camo is on the initial 8 mechs only. Atlas, Hunch, Commando, Jenner, Awesome, Catapult and Dragon.

Above is the PC Gamer Awesome skin.

The PCGamer's closed as you know. But there are some colors you can get for free. In the upcoming CW, you're also supposed to be able to "unlock content" which given examples include "unique colors, faction/lore-specific camos and more."

I'll do a quicky tutorial on the basic interface to include painting your mech. The basic paints aren't too bad but aren't cheap.
Basic


Standard.


Basic.


Here's a collection of randomly painted mechs. There's also a number of pictures of the same mech at the same angle with a Basic, and then various shades of standard and premium colors for comparison.

Ahh....well something to look forward too. I've left Sarah's Jenner "as-is" out of respect, and never really fooled with the others as I knocked out the Basic skills. Don't own any of the other types, so never saw the skin. Once I get the mortagage paid off on the last Jager, one more reason to finally get an Atlas

Ah true. Though it's a "Champion mech," far as paints go the Sarah's Jenner falls under the line "Hero mech" when it comes to paints. You can't skin it.

Here's a Jenner with the default PC gamer skin and paints in an album. It also has a white/grey/black combo and the Zhizhu colors.

Also available are the PC Gamer Hunch, PC Gamer Atlas, and PC Gamer Catapult (all taken with Zhizhu colors, sorry).

Thanks (for the 42nd time) for the info Also, love the ZZ color scheme.

I think this will fit in here as well. My question that is; The Decal mode on the right side to the color mode, it is supposed to be only a placeholder button at this point? It doesn't do a thing right now for me.
