Dumb question. We've all been drooling over the faction specific King Crab camos.

Will the faction specific camos that come with our Faction Content be applicable to JUST the King Crab? King Crab and Resistance Pack? ALL of our Mechs?

This would make or break my decision to buy in.

Normally, I'd PM this to the Community Manager...but since that position is vacant I'm hoping a Dev will jump in. Maybe they'll even add this to the sparse Resistance Pack FAQ. Thanks!

You would just have the King crab, because the resistance mechs aren't coming for a while.

they also said that only the "prime" variant would get to use the camo, then after some patches they would enable All mechs to use it (within the same faction, IE, Clan stuff wouldn't go on IS stuff, and vise versa) But I think you may be allowed to use the paint colors on all mechs, its just the pattern that is restricted.

O'rly? That would be quite awesome! I'm a little sick of all the boring fixed camos on current Invasion/Phoenix mechs... Customization FTW!

Basically I'm trying to determine if buying the low-tier and getting the Rasalhague pattern will eventually allow me to space-viking camo up the mechs I enjoy most, but in my unit colors. The Resistance mechs themselves? Meh.

If I were interested in Clan Wave I and II Faction skins, yes, it would. However, I am not.

And/or the terminology of Wave I and Wave II is directed at different mechs on both sides of the aisle. Sigh...either way I'm still left mildly confused.

yes and it is likely the same for the IS who pick their content and get it on dec 16 like the Clans. So your King Crab will be the only mech you can put that on, till they properly patch it for all IS mech.

IF. That's a LOT of mech camo coding. Guess I'm wondering if it's even on the to-do list

well I don't really have any way to get IS stuff since I only bought the koshi collection. But I really hate the Clan wolf colors. so I guess I could riot.
