I equipped NARC on a mech for the first time in ages. Noticed that it doesn't give a bonus anymore, is this correct or is it broken? Definitely connected with the narc and could see missiles hitting from my team mates. Happened in 2 matches.

You get a bonus if LRMs kill the enemy while they're still NARC'd. Any other weapons fire will not grant you the bonus.

NARC was adjusted to only pay when the victim is killed by lockon missiles while the NARC is active. It promptly stopped being used outside of organized teams.

You get very little for anymore. I been in lrm//narc teams and the narcer will maybe get cbills to cover the uav/arty.

I say this is pretty typical of what you normally get from NARCing:



Without premium time and almost no shooting, maybe you can aim for around 120k a match in a win. I guess that's not bad and you get more variety besides shooting lasers.

The rewards for using NARC are really poor...

The only reward is 10.000 c-bills when a NARCed target is killed by LRMs.
I often use NARC in solo games, but usually you get ~1 NARC kill, if there are some LRM carriers that can use their brain.
If there are no or almost no LRM carriers, then you get nothing.
Hell, you don't even get the reward for canceling an enemy ECM!
That's just lame!

PGI just has no clue how to do things right... they just have to take a look at MWLL and they'll find a very good system for LRMs and NARC/TAG.

Yep. Disturbingly, you usually get more being the first guy to put a red dorito on something vs. actually doing something about it.

TAG gives rewards if you -damage- the target or remove it's ECM. NARC only gives rewards if the target is an LRM kill.

That's just plain stupid.

Russ said that they want to add NARC damage rewards... this was a month ago!

A whole month? Be prepared to wait a year just for a followup comment.

People are not correct thinking NARC rewards were erased. They are simply not even calculated with so much Artemis being fielded. Artemis strips everything but NARC kill.

That said even the full bonus is woefully poor and needs a complete rework.

It is installed on my Atlas K

Thanks for clearing that up, I will keep it on my particular mech because I am a team player but then rewards aren't great
