New guys, I recommend buying energy range modules instead of cool down (fast fire) modules. The both give you effective dmg increase, because many engagements are outside optimal range. Range modules won't affect your heat efficiency.

Yes. Cooldown on Ballistics (other than the AC20), Range for the Energy (and AC20 and MGs). For missiles, it's less clear cut. SRM range mods can be hit or miss due to spread (and aren't that exciting on LRMs), while cooldowns can cause heat issues.

Basically, if you're buying a cooldown module on anything that generates more than 2 heat per shot, make sure you know what you're doing.

They didn't exactly keep this a secret.

Well there goes 59.4 mil c-bills and 80,000 gxp, lol. I didn't buy any modules (other than advanced zoom) previously, glad I had saved up! (so sad, now I'm under 100 mil cbills and under 100,000 gxp...back to grinding!)

ER PPC Cooldown Module acquired! Now the only thing missing is my Panther 10K. Gimme gimme gimme =)

[RiotHero]

I've been putting off getting my Gauss rifle cool down mod and my LL range. I have a bout 52million cbills so I think I'll do some module shopping now!

[SethAbercromby]

Aww, I though it was a sale for all modules. I thought I could finally afford a Target decay and Radar derp mod. Oh well, good effort everyone for pushing past 400,000 points. Shame we missed the 50% by this little.

Finally got some weapon modules. Always thought 3mil was just too much.

[Papapeshu]

I was about to purchase the LP laser cooldown & range mods for 6m cbills.
Then this tourney/sale was announced so I held off.

Just bought both for a total of 3,300,000.
CHUFFED!

Now I really got my wubverine pumpin'

[LT. HARDCASE]

Just spent 21,000,000 space bucks. Feels great.

Thanks, PGI!

[Khwaj]

Am I the only one that can't buy any of them? when i use the module section of the mech lab they all show up as lvl 1 and it says it's not unlocked. but i have the lvl 5 unlocked. when i go to the store to buy them they still say lvl 1 and transaction failed error. please tell me i'm doing something wrong. I only have 4 million c bills but i do want to give them to you

[Khwaj]

Only thing I can think of is that maybe you have IS ones unlocked but are trying to buy clan modules (or the reverse, you have to unlock both separately)? If not I'd open a ticket

[Khwaj]

OK never mind i'm just stupid, i had unlocked Clan but didn't do the IS, my stupid.

I got my main modules for my four CW drop mechs and im very happy I new that my hunch back's would be some bad boys even when I started with them everyone thought I was nuts being a noob and all at the time .
O and horns in each one plus extras for the future

I kinda feel bad for the new comers using trial mechs


Update I named my LRM hunchback 4J :HAIL STONE !! With the new modules it rains rockets dang

Torn between getting either cooldowns for weps I don't have/don't use just in case/because they are on sale or just buy multiples of cooldowns/range for weapons I do use heavily.

The other day I had over 50 million. Then Clan Wave 1 sale happened, following the IS sales... Now I'm 3 Dires, 2 Battlemasters(3S and 3G), 1 Centurion-D, 4 Cicadas and 1 Locusts up. I consider the mech sale way more important than any silly modules.

That left me space poor of course.

I realized after getting home and logging on that I already had half the modules I listed. Looks like I only need around 8 million after all things are considered. Most of the modules are for weapons I don't even really use, like LL and LRMs.

That leaves MPL cooldown and Gauss Range as the only ones I "need." So I'm not worried about getting a few million in a few days.

But what do you spend c-bills on when you already have most of the mechs anyway?

I only collect three variants of each, so other than saving up for my crabs its time to hit the shops!
