Scrap to Scrap; Dust to Dust; If you don't launch these 'Mechs, they'll turn to rust!

Previously regarded as among the least competitive 'Mechs, Quirks have breathed new life into these Tier 5 Variants, now on sale.

You can learn more about the design of the Quirks system in last month's roadmap:

Tuesday to be precise.

Interesting, a "Highlander" reference, but no Highlander on sale?

I guess because they are in the Tier 3 slot and these are all Tier 5 mechs on sale.

Well, I guess the Jenner oxide is on sale.

That would be nice. I had the Oxide on my short list to pick up on sale but the default loadout is non-starter for me. So it's -35% MC and +5M C-Bills. Not an impulse buy.

[luigi256]

I can only assume the black friday sale in a few weeks will make up for this.

[DaniBot]

I never cared about sales and will never do since these mechs can be purchased via . If i feel like pumping some money in the game i buy some premium time or Hero 'Mechs which can only be puchased for (or more screaming Surat warhorns for every mech).



TL;DR:

We want more sales!

[Groutknoll]

well darn ... was hoping for a cbill sale

[LennStar]

OMG?

Who the hell put the BJ-1X in tier 5? The BJs are one fo the most effective mechs on the field, and the X1 is a devil as a brawler! I even killed lots of 2xAC20 jagers in an 1:1 in it, which is as about as brawling as you get.

There is no other IS mech on the field that combines that much firepower (120dmg in ~10secs) with high speed and the peeking abilities of the BJ.

BJ-1X is tier4, the list of the sale is all messed up. Many tier5 ain't even on it, such as Pretty Baby and Dragons.

[LennStar]

its still OMG - I would have put it in tier 1 (for mediums) or 2 (all mechs)

[LT. HARDCASE]

MC only sales on cbill mechs.... Please stop trolling your fanbase.

The Thunderbolt TDR-5SS is a beast now with energy loadouts. Try sporting an XL300 (I know... it's risky), 5 MPL, 1 LPL, throw in loads of DHS and a BAP and AMS for fun Thing is a damn surgeon... better than the other ThunderWub I see running about I think very affordable for Cbills versus a Clan mech

Yup. The Oxide was listed as tier 3 the last time I looked at the list.

Well, I pilot lights, including the locust for fun - of course I am crazy!

MC sale on Cbill mechs???? No thanks! I can see that this "sale" is another obvious ploy to entice the masses to open their wallets and buy more MC and if that is your objective then put an MC discount on things that can ONLY be bought with MC (Hero and champions) and put a discount on Cbills for things that can be bought for Cbills (or like you did for all those great sales in the summer we have been waiting months for PGI to do again, discount BOTH MC AND Cbills). When actual MC Mechs are on sale I have spent ($ to buy) MC on them and more than likely I will spend again if something interests me in future, but spending MC on something that can be bought for Cbills is POINTLESS. Seriosuly PGI stop trying to find new ways to get into our wallets and MAKE WITH A CBILL SALE already!
