Hi...newbie here.

Brought the 8Q after seeing it lol. Can remember how awesome it was in Mechwarrior 4 and mech commander.

But er...in my haste, I stripped it to play around with the module system (great fun btw), but I seem to lost the perks?

I saw in this video that his PPCs can reach out to 725m. But right now my ppcs can only reach 625m i think?



Was it because I stripped it? How can I get the perks back?

Regards,
Noob.

I think in the video he has the range modules. The standard PPC only reaches 540m stock, so you definetly have quirks still

Oh and I forgot to add, if you hover your mouse over the chassis in your mech bay or in the store you can see all the quirks it has. Cheers and good luck with the game!

there are certain things that do not work in the testing grounds as well.

Is that still true? I thought that had all been fixed.

Yeah - I'm pretty they fixed this issue.

The date of that quirk video is the initial set of quirks, which led to the "Five Minute Awesome"... The 8Q at that time, with 43 standard heatsinks (and kinda slim on armor, less than 220) was able to fire 3 PPCs, non-stop, for five minutes straight on snow maps, and after letting off for roughly 7 seconds (almost long enough to have fired 6 PPCs), would be below 40% heat again and able to carry on for another 2 to 3 minutes of non-stop fire.

I'm sorry, but these were the obscenely overpowered quirks that were quickly abused and changed.

Welcome to MWO. The quirks there and the quirks of the Awesome 8Q are different because there were some balancing changes between then and now.

(I checked the date, the video upload is dated before the changes actually occurred... but just watched the video. The video's listed quirks are accurate with the current Awesome 8Q's quirks). So I take back what I said. Based on the date I worked with the original quirk setup (which did give an obscenely long range).

He also has "Level 5" cooldown (faster firing rate) and "Level 5 range" modules.
