Which mechs are getting the IS Faction Camos (sorry i mean patterns) besides Resistance pack and King Crab ?

Probably just those.

I find it slightly amusing that the crab was listed as 'display purposes only', despite apparently they clearly textured it and thus wound up introducing it. I wonder if we'll get people whining we got an extra thing when resistance ends, since they didn't know they'd get crab camo due to rare positive false advertising?

It's not crying but a legit claim for actual FALSE ADVERTISING. I had to drop $15 to get a pattern that was supposed to come with the pack for my king Crab ......saddly ....false advertising makes tons of extra money in bussines and those "%!#$ or whoever had the idea must be fliping and laughing knowing we felt for it. I'm finishing my Bussiness carrer and seen a lot of similar cases.... this is a very popular practice and keeps growing....i don't know if we can call it a scam...but people has the right to ask for a refund after that obvious move.

There was a delay in them getting the faction camos to people, if you wound up buying any of it before you properly received it from the pack, you should probably page support about it.

Unless the crab doesn't get the faction camos and they just happen to exist and must be paid for, which is... odd.

They stated a couple of weeks before Resistance launch that the Crabs where not going to get the camos even if they advertise them like it was with a big fat image showing examples of faction crab camos for months. I love the pack , their mechs and items but....... this thing about the King Crab makes me feel very unconfortable.

I can't stop thinking of someone at PGI saying "you know boss? , let's not give them the Crab Camos because that way they will have to drop $15 to get 2 of them or 1 and get something else....more sales numbers...more happy investors".

I thought that after buying the Faction Crab Camo i wanted , that last stupid idea was going to just disapear but nope...it's still there and now i feel bad for buying the freaking camo for the crab

I can in fact confirm that you do not get the camos for crabs, how odd. At least they exist to begin with, considering crabs had no camos beforehand?

If nothing else, one-shot's only 150 MC, I suppose..

Assuming you keep the raw colors, Marik looks like the tattooed albino. Not thrilled. Practically an aiming guide. On the other hand, you choose black for your base and it becomes Tron-like. That isn't bad, but its busy busy busy.

The FRR is kinda neat, but you don't get much flexibility. Much of the detailing is reflective albedo, so no color control and that scorpion thing... wut???

Steiner's Arrow half and half is not bad. Wish it had more to it

Kurita has the same prob as Marik. Not good till you change colors.

Liao has a cool reflective pattern that is perma green so its mixed reviews, but I wanna like it more.

Davion got brutalized by boring. Its base colors make me cringe. It might be better with different ones, but Jeez!

The base camo for the panther, meh. Enforcer, ick. Hopper, bwuh?? Zeus, AWESOOOOME!!!!!!

The Crab was never a part of the Resistance Package, though, so I don't see why people assumed they'd get patterns for a mech outside of the package. Unlike the Mad Dog the King Crab was a reward for any top tier package and you didn't even get the standard variants with it, whereas the Mad Dog was clearly advertised as part of the Wave 2 package complete with a badge and standard variants.

These packages have never given you a pattern for a mech that wasn't part of the package. The only reason (and this was stated by PGI the day the images released) they used the King Crab in the advertising of the camo patterns was because the King Crab's model was done already and thus could be skinned. Same reason the Mad Dog is showing off the faction camos on the Wave 3 page. Nobody assumes they'll get the Mad Dog patterns with Wave 3 do they?

The crabs don't get the camo only the resistance mech the crab you have to actually pay, they didn't do it like the Mad Dog when they kinda said" fine well let u have this one free but after that the others have to pay for it when they buy after injection date".
