I doubt it takes the entire staff to re-skin a mech and slap some new hard-points on it.

They did kinda finally do the Hunch weapon model update, but tbh I think it looks pretty dumb for the most part. Like if you put in 2ACs, 1 kinda just sticks out the bottom part of the hunch awkwardly. Or the 4P looking real dumb with that array of laser boxes.

My point was that it doesn't take all the resources of PGI to pump out a Hero Mech every month. Other resources are being poured into UI 2.0 which comes out in...what, 26 days?

Besides the Phoenix/Sabre Mechs which ones are missing heroes?

I've got Quickdraw, Trebuchet, Raven, Spider, Blackjack...am I missing any?

Was your 4G also using the LB 10-X and XL275?



LB-10x, 2 MGs, and an XL 270.

I really hope the Quickdraw Hero gets some ballistic hardpoints.

Ironically, though nobody really likes the Trebuchet much, it would have had a LOT of potential for a cool hero mech. JJs, could have any weapon system, yada yada

don't drink the cool aid


Nobody should really be drinking Kool-Aid given all the carcinogens in it, not to mention it is nearly devoid of any nutritional value.

We will have a Quickdraw hero with a ballistic slot someday. I had a dream where I was using one the other night; therefore, It must come true. This would be an insta-buy for me.

Well, meh. The HBK is my favorite chassis, and I've been waiting for a Hero for over a year. I bought a nice chunk of MC during that sale in December, specifically for this...and it's really underwhelming. Every loadout I've seen posted is slow or underarmored, but mostly slow, and I can't believe that someone who works on the game put a gauss rifle in a torso slot with an XL engine. I've tried to work with it in Smurfy's and I'm really having a hard time making a build that feels good, and also distinct. I guess if push comes to shove I more or less get a hero 4G, which admittedly isn't the worst that could happen.

Can I get some feedback on this build? Should I swap out the SRM 6 for SRM 4 and an MG or AMS and more leg armor?

They should've just included the cheerleader at no extra cost to encourage people to buy the hero now rather than wait for a sale. I know it is a small extra but small things like this look greedy when they had a chance for some good will.


Seriously I read this far and I'm good on waiting for the sale if ever. Free bobblehead was all in.

The Huncback needs a special "Quirk" for its "Hunch".

But in the end its a Medium and Mediums get beat up in this game if you are not a Mobile Opportunity Hunter or Assault Shadow.

never mind just read the prior posts. it sucks I already bought the one without with no recourse to fix that. Pretty lame, should have been only one buy option or a lot clearer.

Were they to make it available for people who bought the wrong one to get the bobblehead separately, I imagine they would sell a few.

Email support. They're very good with helping out with this stuff - I'm sure they'll be able to fix things up.
