I've had one CN9-A before the event already. Finished the challenge (got 5 wins) and was awarded with an empty mechbay only. Have anybody else experienced this? Is this a bug?

Got the mech after my second log out, then loggin in.
You just have to do it twice. So not a bug.

Thanks PGI.

Give it a bit (or restart the game)
A few other people have mentioned that, but they have all reported the mech itself showing up after a bit as well

[Kesslan]

Well damn PGI.

Thanks!

Too bad I already own it but I can at least strip the mech for it's goodies, sell it off and the mech bay will come in handy!

Free C-bills if you dont need the mech

I have waited 12 hours now, and restarted the game many times. The pop-up says that I should have the reward in the inventory but there is no new mech there. Looks like I need to submit a bug report...

I was rewarded the centurion while exiting a match. A message popped up saying something about calculating and disrupting rewards and there it was in my inventory.

I had to go to my mech inventory screen to confirm I actually owned a centurion because the 'owned' mech screen shows all champion mechs even if I don't own them.

Don't forget the 7 days of premium they gave us recently as well. I can't wait to see what they do next. More free stuff to add to my collection please.

I think there is a counter that shows how many of the mech you own.

Thanks PGI. Not sure if I'll keep the mech, but the free bay was nice. I'm all for occasional free stuff, keep it coming.

How long does it take after the 5th win to show up in our Mech Bay, I have 5 and dont see it yet.

Edit 1: Ok seems it took 2 log outs / in and about 5+ minutes. Not too bad. I have a lot of issues with the pace and scope of development, but thanks for the free mech PGI

There is up to a 15 minute delay between the 5th win and the system figuring it out. I suggest just dropping again and by the time you get out of that drop, your mech will be there.

sadly the only way I can earn a mech ( if I can get enough time to play and win 5 matches) I seem to be everyone favorite target to group up on lol

[Mikey MIRV]

Very generous. Thanks! A belated thanks on the free premium time too. It's nice when some of the moves don't seem like a constant effort to get deeper in our pockets. I have no objection to spending a good amount of money if I feel like I'm getting good content.

Police up UI 2.0 and get (quality) Community Warfare up and running and I'll be glad to spend a bunch more money.

[BrokenDog]

Thank you PGI! First mech I bought and mastered way back then. . . . Swore that I would never buy another, now i'm going to do something about that lousy K?D that stares at me from my starter days. Not bothered generally about K/Ds, but when a mech just does not go as you hoped. . . Oh well. Thanks, CN9s every where every game! As it should be!

After the 5th win, the system needs a few minutes to figure out you're due, which means it will be pushed to your client the next time it refreshes (IE, after a drop, or if you log out and then log back in). You'll get a notification about things being redeemed, and boom, there it is.

Brings me back to when I 1st started Playing MWO. The Bonus Centurion was a trial mech when I 1st started playing,... so I already had 23,000 XP on it when I got it today as a gift from PGI. ThanXs PGI Pretty sweet!

[desan476]

even when the very most of the stuff in game is free, it is nice to get something else that is free this centurion will replace my old A centurion also thanx for the free mech bay

I was going to say that - best of luck! (It's one of my favorite mechs)

Use it against them then!
If they seem to insist on trying to kill you, play hard to get!

I just finished my 5th winning game today, but how do you get this awesome offer?

Actually, it appears (since it is stated on the stats-challenges page twice, referring to stats and to challenge rewards) that it will take up to 15 minutes for your stats to be updated after a match, and it will take up to 15 minutes for a reward to be issued after a challenge is completed. This is why some people have had to wait up to 30 minutes. Also it looks like it might check for rewards after you return to the home/'Mechlab after finishing a match or logging in.
