If I purchase an "unlockable" skin for my dragon, can I use that skin on any mech of any weight?

For example, If I purchase the Dazzle skin for 750 MC on my dragon-1N, can I then use the Dazzle skin on my Raven-3L?

Thats my understanding yes.

One shot means applied to that one mech, that one time, if you change it, its lost. Unlockable means its permanently unlocked for all mechs, like colors.

But im not 100%

No - it only unlocks it forever on all of your Dragons. You would have to buy it again for Ravens.

This is NOT correct.

The Unlock camos are an unlock for that Chassis ONLY. So unlock on dragons means you can apply or remove it to any/all Dragon variants you own. Unless you are going to be changing camo a lot, and have a lot of varients you play, the one shot camos are a much better deal.
But one shot camos are lost forever when you change a mech to a different pattern, you can change the colors w/o losing them though.

EDIT: Note that the camos don't apply to any Hero variants
EDIT2: Clarification on the one shot changes.

Last time I bought camo.. which was for my stalker.. I bought Phranken fully (unlocked, not single use). Only applied to stalkers, no other chassis. Could have changed since then, but I haven't heard anything about it changing ... (was upset about that, was a waste of MC).. That was about a year ago now though. (as I said though, haven't heard anything about it changing to cover all chassi).
-----------------
Either way, unless you're applying it to 10+ mechs, don't bother with the unlock.

i unlock, because i like to play the mech equivalent of "dress-up"

frequently changing colors and camos, i'd rather pay more to unlock and be able to swap freely, than to feel like "ok, the Hbk-4g has Phraken and will always because if i change it its a waste of 75MC...but buying it when its on sale for 675 seems like a deal to me....but i might be a bit touched in the head...jury's still out....

Oh... as a note to players: You CAN change the colors of your Camo without having to re-buy the camo. Say you buy the Fractal pattern and use a Red/White/Blue color scheme. You can later change the colors of that pattern to Green/Orange/Yellow if you wanted without having to change your scheme or buy a new one.

I don't see the point of camo.... PC gamer black and PC gamer white cover every possible map scenario.


Or you could paint your mech bright yellow with a tiger patter that can easily be seen across the map!

This counted as a camo right?
