Greatings Mechwarriar!



I just got the last BASIC skill of the BOAR'S HEAD Mech. But the counter for getting ELITE did not raise up.

So i have finished all Basics of one other ATLAS and it countet. Now i did finisch BOAR'S HEAD and it did not.

Is this a bug or do only count "Standard Mech"?

THX for the answers in advance and excuse my bad english.

It should count.
Did you unlock 3 Basic Atlas-Mechs?

If so - go write a support mail

[oOEvEOo]

I did unlock 2 now.
Atlas AS7-D-DC
BOAR'S HEAD

But counter is 1.
Will write a mail THX ShockATC. Answer makes me happy

You'll still need a third Atlas. So you may as well grab one and get out there and get shooting!

You need to complete the basics on 3 of them. Get yourself the Atlas D or RS and get those skills, then you can get the elites for the boars head.

It's always worth getting elites provided that the following conditions are met.

1. You need more speed.

2. Need more cooling efficiency.

3. Need more agility for your mech.

You see, unlocking the basics on 3 variants of any mech will enable a 2x bonus on all the Basics you've already finished. Which means that you get an extra 7.5% cooling, and extra 10 heat capacity, you accelerate faster, break faster, turn harder and your twist is increased.

On a chasis like the Boar's head, which is a mech that will generate lots of heat because of it's lasers and will be slow because of it's weight, you can be sure that these bonuses will be a great boon.

Now, once you've done all of that, you can then get them mastered, which gives you an additional module slot.

Hope this helps.

Also, if you already mastered another Assault, then you will only need 3 Atlas to basic then you can get BH and DDC to master afterward. Best to get AS7-D or AS7-RS, as both have their traits, while Atlas K is bad in comparison and needs a buff, though it has a good engine.

This is no longer the case, now you need to get the mech Elited before the 2x Basics will unlock. I'm not sure when this was changed.

Then again, how could somebody realistically not need at least one of these?

Apparently, this was always the case, but the icon displayed at the wrong time.
