On in-game mech/weapon Modules? I personally have spent 225-250 million c-bills on various weapon/mech modules, and I plan on buying 6 more weapon modules for my IS CW drop deck so another 18 million and maybe one more at 6 million if I decide to get another shock absorbance or radar deprivation. I laughed when I realized where those "Richer Than Blake" funds went


PS: The only reason I need to buy 6 more is because I've bought 5 IS Assaults and a light at around 65-70 million, including upgrades/engines/weapons, can't wait to drop in them (Selling the unneeded engines helped a lot)

PPS: Also these c-bills were earned during matches, not through those mc bundles (I'd be totally broke if I did that), though I did have help from premium time and hero's from time to time

9 million. I may only have 3 mechs but god effing dangit my wubverine will be rockstar status with his LPL range and radar dep modules

[Greenjulius]

I'm afraid to add it up. I have 5 radar deps, a couple dozen weapons mods, some other random ones... I better check.

Edit: I've spent 96 million on modules... I think I need to stop buying them.

Havn't purchased any in a while, had my mechs loaded with modules, when they changed the module system my modules were eaten/vapourized so I lost interest in them.

In fact I use no modules/consumables at this stage in the game.

I don't need the extra range to kill. nor do I have the c-bills for them.

[Bartholomew bartholomew]

I think I have spent about half as much on modules as I have mechs. Which is still too much, but oh well. At least they get put to good use.

Just spent all the Cbills I earned over the last few days on modules instead of mechs.

They really do cost too much.

[Senor Cataclysmo]

theyre so expense. I went to buy my first one today. It was like, 15,000 gxp AND 6 million C bills. I didnt know you had to "unlock" them with gxp too. Where does gxp even come from?

10% of what you made in a match as XP is given to you as GXP. You can also pay MC to convert XP on mechs to GXP at the cost of 1MC per 25XP

[Fishbulb333]

Just added up how much I'd spent on modules, kinda wish I hadn't. Over 230 million cbills Being too lazy to switch out equipment between drops is expensive..

[Brody319]

None. I'm so poor good I don't need them

Yeah Wubverine is beast, I'm terrified of those when I pilot my lights/mediums because they chew me up.

It really depends on how mechs you have/plan to get, I'm quite happy to have all these modules especially these 6+ Radar Deprivations/Advanced Seismic Sensors.

Yeah especially the "essential"/"advised" modules for lights are quite expensive, I've got like 18 million c-bills worth of weapon/mech modules on lights I yearn to pilot.

I find swapping out/finding them is quite easy, because the ones I use a lot are given unique names, so the search isn't too bad, though I haven't even touched gauss/streaks/lrm modules + some mech modules so my c-bill deposit box is gonna be barren once I get the inkling to explore those kind of builds.

x1 Medium Laser Range 5 and x1 Radar Dep (that I've lost in my 50 something mechs)
So little less than 20 mil

[DarthPeanut]

I would have to find all of my modules to count them... to much work.

Quite a bit it my rough estimate.

I know that feel, the only reason I did it was necessity, seeing what\if I had to buy for my Inner Sphere drop deck for Community Warfare. I was quite pleased with the amount of zoom modules and radar deprivations I had.

Ps: Since I really like to pilot lights, mediums and assaults are alright, but heavies aren't quite to my liking most of the time

Holy **** yoki...

[Vassago Rain]

About a billion space dollars.

[Krysic]

I started the game not long before the final C-Bill nerf and have bought 3 modules because I can't afford them as my money all goes to IS mechs. You can buy 3 light mechs for not much more than some single modules. Someone isn't paying attention. Good luck getting modules for your 100+ mechs guys that actually spend money.

[Ghogiel]

Entirely too much because it takes too long to swap and save the mech load outs and I couldn't be bothered to waste time on doing that and/or keep other people waiting.

Only super veterans can actually afford that luxury. I myself have 6 radar derps, 6 seismics, and 4+ of virtually every other module in the game just sitting around.

[Sarlic]

The costs of modules is insane... probaly 3 modules per mech. This is just standard modules such as Radar Dep, Improved Gyro etc.

30 modules for all 10 Atlai. That makes 180 milion of cbils for just the basic modules. This is without cooldown modules etc.
