The promo image says you need to redeem on the your profile stats page. Haven't played my 5 yet so I can't confirm.

[MrRoxbox]

There is no redeeming. I got my 5 matches and in 20mins I had both Mech and "bay" in my inventory....already played one match with it

[A Man In A Can]

Got the mech. Thanks!

[MacLeodConnery]

I won more than five and it says it is complete on challenges page. Still not mech or bay. I was looking forward to playing a new mech.

[SgtMagor]

when I won the last game #5, took 15 minutes to post, then another 15 minutes before my game updated, s give it about 30 minutes from the 5th game you won.

Again, we would advise PGI to alter the amount of won games to at least 35 or more.

**** is wrong with you?!

After you login here to check your challenge progress (in the challenge tab) it will update your profile as "challenge complete."
Simply log back in to play, and it will redeem the TBolt for you.

Yep what he said...

Yeah, to those try hards and no lifers who say "make it 30 wins" read these posts I'm quoting below... if the idea is to get people playing again you don't want to make it so hard people say "heck with it". If it was 30 wins I wouldn't of bothered logging on and playing this weekend but I got my 5 wins and tagged along with others in ZhiZiu who wanted to do this challenge and we actually had some fun this weekend... first time in a LONG time my group has played world of mechs. If it was 30 wins I'd laugh and just go back to WarThunder...

Normally our TS mechwarrior channel is deserted to the point the few in our group like Koniving who still play usually go on other TS servers because everyone is off in WarThunder or World of Tanks or WarFrame or Titanfall or... the list goes on. If you try hards don't want people coming back to the game and want to have an all weekend grind fest playing the same small group of players over and over then that's fine, but do realize many paying customers have been leaving this game also and without people willing to shell out the coin all your grinding won't mean diddly squat.

Please try to realize that this game has a really hard learning curve even if you are familiar with battletech and it's not hard for a new player to play for hours to get these wins. My group is experienced but rusty (ya know... playing and paying for other games and all) and it took me personally several hours to get my 5 wins in... and I'm hardly a newbie. So really, people complaining about this is to easy need to chill... There is a reason that a year ago it took 25 wins to get a holo cockpit item... because more people were playing then... and... wait for it... wait for it...

Paying then...

Here's an idea... let's have an event that's to good to pass up (afew of our guys had to patch for about an hour because it's been THAT long since they've played)... and hey look have a sale on hero mechs and hope people have fun and say "oh heck this is fun I'll go pick up a hero mech now"... It's called good business...

PGI wasn't in the "try to draw old players and wallets back" mode and for a lot of us it'll take a LOT more to bring us and more importantly our wallets back. To say nothing that if I remember right that 25 wins was over a week or two week period. I dunno because I didn't do it... This is over a weekend and some of us have lives and better things to do then play a video game all weekend to get more pixels.

To PGI: things like this are a step in the right direction to motivate people to come back and see if this game has improved to the point we will keep on playing. I want to express my appreciation for the effort. We did have some fun tonight, over all I'd say most of us did more then 5 games however a few did not... clearly we still have some work left to do.

It's almost funny at this point. Just about 4 hours and I'm at 2 wins and 21 losses.

ebichu, on 18 April 2014 - 12:28 PM, said:

Took me 16 games :/

To all those people saying that 5 victories is too easy, you want me to play 50+ games in a single weekend when I don't even play that many in an entire month? Good luck with that.

5 is a good number, 10 victories would be my absolute maximum with anything more making it a grind. This game does not need any more grind.

@Robert Sager
it's not instant it might take half an hour to get the reward after completing the challenge.

Why are people saying 3 straight hours 2 wins you say ? I'll tell you why , Ironically this is one of the few games that I've come across that go's above and beyond punishing you for being a new player, It feels like your almost fated to not lose a lot but lose far far far more then you win . The thing is when you do this a lot of new players simply leave and refuse to play a brutal game that punishes them for trying to learn, Leaving you with a game with mostly nostalgic old timers and the very few new players that can stomach staying logged in being forced into a life of cannon fodder for the old timers punishing them even more so. Rant off.
