That is a really good question. I'm assuming it comes with a skin, but can be swapped with the faction ones if you own them. I bet the default skin is the green concept we've been shown constantly, with the "shark face."





PGI crew, could we get clarification on this?

Yep I'd like to know as well. Frankly none of these paints are doing much for me, and while I know I'm in the minority, I'd like confirmation that I'm getting what I think I paid for (ie the concept paint scheme with the scary teeth). Gonna paint it orange and name it Zoidberg (not really, but maybe).

You never pay for the concept paint. Just like the ads for sales showing came, etc.

The default "special" KGC is almost certainly going to be the 3 Norns scheme of the other "freebies" of the AS7-S and CN9-AH.

What are you basing that on?

The two other "thanks you for giving us money" mechs we already have with the same basic stylings....

Right, but those were loyalty rewards. Is this being considered a loyalty reward? If so, then yeah that's pretty likely.

[Saobh]

I would suppose we receive the green with a shark grin one we've been seeing since the start ? Don't see the point of creating that pattern if they don't use it ...

As for the Loyalty patterns weren't they special for the anniversary thingy ? I would suppose they aren't used for other events.

CapCon camo looks like Warrior Hourse Hiritsu, makes sense as had a few novels in the lore.

it is, and releasing only 2 of the 3 norns would be idiotic

I don't know too much about the norns, apparently. Can you link me to some info on it? I looked on sarna but didn't bring anything up (maybe I missed it).

Norse Mythology, so that is part of it.

Thought you meant in relation to Battletech, specifically.

Now that I read it, I'm really going to be peeved if I was left out of getting that AS7-S despite having bought a pre-sale package (bought the resistance one as clan doesn't seem to do much for me). The CN9-AH has become one of my favorite mechs.

well, the Norns is also a code name for part of Lyran Intelligence.

Yes the Free Crab for buying a pack would be a loyalty reward. Hence you bought something else...shows your loyalty so you get a free crab with the Norns scheme to go with the Atlas and Cent variants already given to us.

I am very happy! The way the arms looks like 2 ballistic hard points per arm! 4x LBX10!

2 Crit Slots shy in each arm.
I wanted the same.
Unless there's a variant that happens to have torso Ballistics, Quad LBX 10 is going to be the sole purview of the Direwolf.
