i know the hero mechs do , but there are others that give bonuses to cbills , is there a list , or how can i tell while in my mech bay ?

[Lostdragon]

The Prime(I) version of clan mechs and the ® version of IS mechs have the cbill bonus. These you can only get by purchasing a mech package.

The ( C) and the one ( S ) (Sara's Jenner) mechs give XP bonuses, not C-Bills.

Any non C or S named ( I ), ( R ) (L) etc and all hero mechs give a bonus to C-Bills.

You are talking about the Trial mech (C)s or (C)s you get as prizes . I am talking about the (C)s you buy from the store.

I never got the (S), so I can not speak for that.

All of them - C is for Champion and they all give a 30% XP boost, not C-Bills. It doesn't matter how you get them.

It's you that is confused because of the poor UI. There is one ( C ) type named mech, they are all Champion mechs. Trial mechs are champion versions so that new players are not stuck with stock builds that are unplayable.

When you are looking in mech lab at things you own the H or C icon on the picture just denotes special models, H is for hero and the C indicates that is a mech with a Bonus that is different that the standard version. It can be either XP if the mech model is name with a ( C ) after the name, or C-Bills if it's a pack letter name e.g. ( R ). The C icon itself on that screen doesn't indicate which, you need to see what the variant name is to determine which bonus applies.
Example The Enforcer:

If you bought the Resistance pack Enforcer you get:
ENF-5D ( R )
ENF-4R
ENF-5P

In the store you can buy:
ENF-5D
ENF-4R
ENF-4R ( C )
ENF-5P

Notice there is two models of 5D and two models of 4R. Both of the parenthesis named versions show in Mech lab with the C icon over the picture, but only one is named ( C ) as the model. The ENF-5D ( R ) Is the exact same configuration as the ENF-5D except it has a custom camo and a 30% C-Bill bonus. It's shown as C in the mech lab to identify it has a bonus that the ENF-5D doesn't have. You can not buy the ENF-5D ( R ) in the store, it is only available from the Resistance package order. The ENF-4R ( C ) can only be bought in the store and comes with different equipment from the stock ENF-4R and a 30% XP Bouns. Both the ENF-5D ( R ) and the ENF-4R (C ) display in mech lab with the C icon over the image. Only one of them pays C-Bill bonus and that is the ( R ) version.


CN: If the variant is named with a ( C ) caption it has an XP bonus.

The bonus use to be displayed along with quirks no?
Is it still there?
I was looking last night for it and I did not see it... just the quirks.
Anyone actually see a C-Bill bonus lately? Can you post a screen shot?
I am asking because I recall my Hero Mechs getting a C-Bill bonus but I am thinking they expire after some time.

I have the phoenix package, (that I now wish I could transfer to my pure IS account but oh well).

[Chuck Jager]

On my T1-2 mechs I continually make more Cbills than my hero mechs except the GI.

The huggin has insane quirks and a bonus, but the short range and DPS nature means a quick death and the inability to make a hard push against good players. Firestarters and Cheetos will allow a few more mistakes and the ability to knock out a damage compartment quicker. The biggest Cbill bonuses come from damage, kills and assists if you are alive and helping your team win you will get more of all of the above.

Big rebalance coming soon so if $15-35 is an investment to you, it may not be a good time to buy a hero or other cbill bonus mech.

[627]

as the OP is an elite founder he should at least have a F and L variant.

this is the complete list if I haven't forgotten one.

30% XP boost:

• (C) - Champion
  
• (S) - Sarah's Mech

30% CBill boost:

• (F) - Founder
  
• (P) - Phoenix
  
• (I) - Invasion
  
• (G) - Gold Khan
  
• (L) - Loyality
  
• ® - Resistance

All these are in the champion tab, though.

Hero mech don't have a special indicator but are listed in a seperate category in the mech select screen.

Maybe it was a "bug" that was "fixed" then. I had the Banshee (C)hampion I bought some time ago, it had a 30% C-Bill bonus.
