Can we get an exact explanation as to what this quirk is doing on the new Battlemaster hero?

[meteorol]

Probably means the mech is less affected by the external heat of the map (the base heat that is added to the heat treshold based on the temperature of the map)

[Trevor Belmont]

It's probably posted on NGNG or Twitter somewhere....

[Deathlike]

Explanations are Lostech.

[Bishop Steiner]

yup, because the PGI three have retreated back into their twitter turtle, so ... who knows?

That is what I am assuming, but I hate doing that and would really like to actually know what it is doing.

[FupDup]

We're probably going to have to wait for papa Smurfys to update to know what this even does. Or maybe it'll say in-game, but I won't be touching this hero anyways.

Say that 5 times fast...

So it would be cooler than other mechs in hot maps, but hotter than them in cool maps?

It's like the Pinpoint mech skill.
(it does nothing)

I assume it's a 50% reduction in ambient heat effects. On Terra Therma you'll get -0.25 (instead of -0.5) heat dissipation/second. The opposite is true of Frozen City. Further I would assume that the same multiplier applies to heat capacity adjustments.

It's an interesting quirk, but if you know beforehand that you're dropping on a hot map then I doubt you'll be bringing an assault mech with no ballistics

[Satan n stuff]

I wonder if it would be affected less by water if it has heat sinks in the legs, not particularly important given that you can't put double heat sinks in it's legs, but it's something we should know nonetheless.

[Carrioncrows]

If it's getting to the point where "THIS" is considered a perk / trait worthy of considering on a hero mech then I can't help but smell desperation from your idea guys.

[3rdworld]

It is 50% less effect from the map. So hot maps are cooler, but cold maps are hotter.

"Less environmental bonuses/penalties" is exactly correct.



So it builds up less heat from environmental heat sources, but doesn't lose as much heat to environmental cooling sources.

External heat sources (hot maps, cold maps, flamers, cooling in water) only affect the mech half as much.

Its not only the map, its everything outside that affects it 50% less.

So flamers are even more useless than usual against it?

Where was that posted? Never mind I found it.

This is so totally our mantra from the very beginning....

Yes, that has been posted already thank you for the attempt at help.
