If you check the equipment (weapon) in the mechlab, it should show what is wrong with it.
It could be not enough money, slots, hardpoints, tonnage.

You need a weapon slot (energy/balistic/missil) where you can equip a weapon.
If you want to buy a new weapon for your mech, you need to unequip a weapon to have a slot (hard point) and enough tonnage and critical slots to equip the weapon (and buy it, if you don't own one).

You can not buy a weapon without equipping it to the mech and saving.

Also:
If you just started playing the game and you have no CBills, you can't buy stuff without the money.
Play a few games to earn more CBills.

There is no Clan Hunchback in MWO, so there's your problem. The only Hunchbacks in the game are Inner Sphere models, and, as such, can only use IS equipment.

Edit: If you bought the Hunchback 4P(C) - the (C) does not denote that it is a Clan variant, but rather that it is a "Champion" 'Mech. Champion 'Mechs give you a 30% bonus to the XP you earn each game in which you use them. They also come "pre-customized" with a better loadout than the non-(C) version of the same 'Mech. For instance, the HBK-4P(C) comes with the double-heatsink upgrade, and comes with a Standard 260 engine, whereas the regular HBK-4P has single-heatsinks and a Standard 200 engine.

If that is what happend, and you bought the HBK-4P(C) with real money, if you ask Support very nicely, and explain what happened, they may offer you a refund. They'll generally give each player ONE refund, but this can vary on a case-by-case basis.

No problem. Hope it works out for you, and welcome to MWO

Of course, if you like it, by all means, keep the Hunchback.

+1 and a couple thoughts: 1) If it's too hot, I can tell you that mech really needs elites to cool well enough and 2) quirks come today. The HBK-4P is one I'm excited about trying again with those boosts.

Any way to see the quirks a mech has in-game? IE in the Mechlab etc or do we have to reference the PDF?

Ofc, just mouse over the mech in the mechbay. Not in the mechlab, but the overview. (also in the store)
The mouse over widget has the quirks, just like before.

Ahh...never worried about the existing quirks, so never noticed that.....

Well I am off to find something else to be clueless about, now that this one is out in the open...

Does shutting down cool you significantly faster than if you were to stop moving and shooting?

[Rogue Jedi]

No, shutting down will not cool your mech much faster than stopping moving and firing
if you stop moving and shooting, your mech will be generating little or no heat, so would cool down about as fast as if you shut down

Edited by Rogue Jedi, 06 November 2014 - 06:18 AM.

[TheCaptainJZ]

The whole shutdown mechanic is really all about discipline. If you can discipline your use of weapons, you can avoid the penalty of shutting down and being a sitting duck. It's just another layer you have in the combat system.

Does BAP counter BAP?
Example: I have BAP + ECM on my mech and come across an enemy mech with BAP. Does my BAP counter his BAP and I still have the ECM working?

BAP can counter the nearest ECM in range.
If you use ECM and BAP in the same mech, BAP does NOT counter anything at all.
You will only gain the effect of faster target information gathering and detecting shut-down mechs.

I'm not sure if anything changed since the range buff to BAP this tuesday, but I doubt that there were any other changes done.

BAP also gives you a 25% range boost to your sensors, but yeah, otherwise there's no added benefit for having both BAP and ECM on the same 'Mech.

[TheCaptainJZ]

Nothing counters BAP

[MFZ]

2 ECM do.

Well, not really. Two enemy ECM's nearby a BAP will stop the BAP 'Mech from being able to target for Streaks, or such, but it's not like the BAP doesn't still function. The BAP is still cancelling one of those two ECMs, and it's still getting it's boosts to target acquisition data, sensor range, and being able to target shut-down 'Mechs.

[TheCaptainJZ]

ECM doesn't counter anything that BAP actually does. BAP's ability to counter ECM might be stopped with 2 ECM, but that's not a function of BAP per se.

[GreyNovember]

In the quirks preview vids, the awesome's PPCs looked very different compared to what we have now. Why is that?

To clarify:



All I have are piddly little lightning balls with a jagged trail.
