If I purchase the Wrath level of the Resistance Pack it comes with 6 factions customization packs.
Such as colours camos etc.

Is there any benefit, or even possible, to select one House x6?
Or is one of each House implied?

If I get one House camo can I apply it to all my mechs? Or only a single mech?

If you go IS for CW and pick the house content that you are running, and you place these items inside the Mech you play in CW, you get an LP bonus.

I;ll see if I can find the source material

From what I understand:

• Camo colors only apply to the Resistance mechs
  
• The only plus from grabbing 6 Faction Packs of the same faction is that you'll have 6 times the items.
  
• Using faction items for the faction you are gets you loyalty points (iirc)

So personally, if I get a choice of four packs. I'll probably choose two of my main faction, and two of ones with colors I just like.

The faction skins will only be applied to the mechs that are "in the packs". You can not apply the skins to say an Atlas or Commando and so on. Not yet anyway.

But the colors of the skins, which there are 3 colors per skin should be able to be applied to any mechs in your mech lab... Provided you have picked that faction skin to unlock those 3 colors.

As for picking 1 house X6 of the same faction skins... Why would you want to? I don't even think you can to be honest.

It's like when we bought the Phoenix packs and had to pick 4 of the 6 LP medallions. We could not pick 4 of the same medallion, so I would not understand why ANYONE would even want 6 of the same faction skins from this new pack? If everyone is smart, they will pick all different skins so they can then use more colors from those skins lol.

Thanks,
So there is no real benefit to doubling up on one faction.

Get them all and enjoy the extra camo colour options!
Appreciate the input.

Selecting 6 of the same faction would net you 6 of the cockpit mounted/hanging items and warhorns. That is the only real advantage.

You lose out on the colors/skins if you selected the same faction 6 times.

Personally, I plan on maybe splitting mine up 3 ways, Steiner (of course), Rasalhague, and Davion or Marik. (I think Marik has nicest colors).

The only reason would be if you want 6x of the same warhorn and hanging item.

The LP bonus items were from Phoenix pack only.

This.

There's no reason to pick the same faction pack more than once other than to get multiple copies of the warhorn and cockpit decorative item. There are no LP bonus items in these faction perks.

The only real downside is if you are Kurita and have Davion warhorn in cockpit. Your Kurita buddies, when observing you, will find that awkward.

Hi guys. I'm currently running House Marik. I want to get several House Davion and a few of the others. From what is posted I can do that, but I see the post that by taking the option of one from each house I get 18 (6 times 3 Color options). Is that correct. Liao is really my least favorite, followed by Rasalhague. The option of multiple horns, medallions is nice, but the color palate with a few doubles might be awesome to at least hit the 4 mains ones I like most. (I'm at the wrath pack level.)

Also, I thought there was supposed to be an announcement on this, but this is the only post I have found so far.

They should split the color choices from the cockpit item choices.
That way someone who is loyal to one house can get all the same items, but still unlock many colors.

I'm happy enough just taking one of each though. Don't really care if my horns are wrong and will probably swap factions around anyway since I'm in a merc unit.

[PanzerTC]

good point. The more I think about it, 18 color options nice. Not sure I will use all of them though.

I really like having my favorite's more than my not so favorite emblems in the cockpit.

It would be awesome if we could sell the unwanted cockpit items back. Even if it were at a lower C-Bill/MC value.

It is so weird to see you with a Kurita tag. o.o; It's like you're a whole different person.

Thanks, all questions answered!

There are many me's.

pardon my lack of knowledge here, but when and where do you select the faction items? Is it AFTER you start receiving the Mechs?

I have had some thing show up already including premium time and a {LT-MOB-25} pit item or 2 (havent checked in a bit) but I am most interested in the colours (they are expensive you know, lol).

I have the Wrath pack coming and havent made an selections that I am aware of...

With my Phoenix Overlord Pack, I still have a couple of medallions yet to select, and I could only do that AFTER I rec'd my mechs (best I remember). Is that the way the resistance will work?

Thanks in advance...

[Deathlike]

Just wait a month or so or when these options are made available.

[Koniving]

I suspect because of the split-method going on with the Resistance pack as opposed to the All At Once method with the Clan wave 2 pack, that the selections are going to be made closer to the other half of the Resistance releases.

You're welcome.

I'll check back here sometime later if anything comes up about delivery but chances are that'll be on the front page on Tuesday.

[MadDrac]

It doesn't give me the option for a choice for my faction junk?
