You can not sell them.

That's why I am sitting on a ton of unsellable consumbles that I will never use.

I just discovered there is (for me) new addition - bolt-ons. (accessible from camo-spec option)
Well, most of them looks absolutely terrible (I mean the models itself), but there are a few which looks on specific mech nice.
For ex., knuckle on Atlas, or small hand fuel tanks for Timber.

So
1) do the bolt-ons go sometimes also on discounts ? -50% ?
2) are bolt-ons sometimes part of events ?

thx.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, but rarely, on both. You also get them as rewards from Solaris but Solaris is mostly a dead game mode...

lemme sumarize the special variants of mechs:

(L) - loyality (if you payed enough, you get some special variants for free with +30% cbill)
(H) - hero (+30% cbill)
(C) - trials or champions (+30% XP)
(R ) - resistance pack variants (+30% cbill)
(S) - special (+30% cbill)
(I) - ????

what stands (I) for ?

Invasion, from the early clan packs. (I)nvasion for clan and ®esistance for Inner Sphere packs.

[Speedy Plysitkos]

Ok. I also remember back in 2016 there was an event only for hero mechs. Is this also active in 20/21 ?

Yes, there was one event for "Quarantine" Hero 'Mechs almost exactly a year ago. Just one challenge I can name off the top of my head ...

I do not think so. However, I think that they are used as a reward in some challenge sometimes.

And of course, there are some cockpit items that are unique because they are connected to just one specific event. I have a few of those.

Those are normally event exclusive or pack exclusive items. Corgi was an event item (much like the Thanksgiving Turkey as another example), and Nvidia was originally an old item from a preorder or something, but is now also an event earnable item.

Ok, ill wait then for events with it.

F is for Founders. You will rarely see these since the chassis they go with aren't "meta" or the variant--Jenner, Hunchback, Catapult, Atlas.
A minor clarification--Trial mechs are based on Champion mechs which themselves are based on a standard variant. Trial mechs earn no XP however. In my opinion, Champion mechs are not worth buying. Save that MC and put it towards a Hero mech instead. The 30% XP boost is only valuable until the mech is skilled up, but 30% cbill boost is far more versatile. And when I'm leveling a mech (which I've only recently had to do because I finally exhausted my GSP from the skill tree refund), I find myself spending far more in cbills than xp.

(O)rigins for some IIC clan mechs, (P)hoenix for the Project Phoenix mechs, (G)old Camo Mechs, just to make the List complete.

Golden mech ? GEEZ how to obtain that ? And is it accesible on all chassis ?

special versions of the original invasion clan mechs. They were (are?) absurdly expensive and caused a huge outrage as the ridiculous money grab they were. Soon after that PGI parted with the publisher that was trying to push for that.

You can not buy golden 'Mechs anymore because PGI not longer offers them.

Speedy Plysitkos, on 18 May 2021 - 09:37 AM, said:

No, it was available as a special version of the original first wave of Clan OmniMechs (Uller, Puma, Black Hawk, Ryoken, Madcat, Thor, Masakari, Daishi).
