Hello,

It seems all mechs cost MCs. Is there any mechs that costs only C-bills? I press the "Store" button, list "all" mechs, and all mechs have an MC cost to it. No mechs costs only C-bills. Please help, thank you

All mechs have an MC option (skip the grind, buy a mech), as PGI doesn't sell any "pay to win" stuff.

You need to look for the option under each.
Note: "Champion" (the trial mechs, which are Cbill variants pre-enhanced) and "Hero" (unique variants usually mixing traits of two others with their own flaws) are MC only.

Click the Mechlab, then "Filter" at the top for "purchasable" or use the Store (can't see how they look, though) to see the ones you can buy (as by default it exclusively shows the trial [champion] mechs).

By default it only shows Owned Mechs + Trial Mechs in the mechlab. Change the filter to purchasable.

Also: Welcome to MWO.

Sorry I couldn't give a more detailed response with an image -- but someone I've known for 15 some years is coming over to meet in person for the first time. >.> Panic and rush and procrastination is bad, and whoosh! (Good luck will check in on you later!)

If you mean there's both MC and C-Bill options, the MC is in terms of equivalent C-Bills. Either or. Not total.

Thanks Konnivig! Much appreciated!

Ah. Makes sense now. It's "or". Not total. I get it now, thanks!

Everything has an MC option.

Most have CBills. Except for Hero's, Champions and some of the newer releases which take a month to become CBill available.

Here is a video to show you step by step how it buy a mech. It can be a little confusing.

You're welcome. And yeah that's something I took for granted, even in the original UI it could cause that confusion; it gave a "Buy MC" and "Buy Cbills" option at the side of every mech -- it wouldn't have been confusing if it said "Buy with MC" and "Buy with Cbills", but now it's just "Buy" leading to a choice menu.
