I had apparently fooled myself into thinking that one would only win one of the prizes, mech bay, XL or radar derp, but I was pleasantly surprised.
Only took 37 openings :)

Well, you can at least use the ones you get?

I have hundreds of each consumable.
I'm not using them, not because they're expensive or that i don't have the c-bills for them, i'm not using them, because i hate the very idea of the consumables and what they stand for.

My other IS account got the grand prize on the 12th grab bag.

This here Clan account hasn't been so fortunate even after 100 attempts. Got two punching bags though.

As always, my heart goes out to the people who never get the grand prize.

PGI really should change the challenge so bag #100 is always the Grand Prize, unless you got it earlier. So many of these challenges leave players burned out and pissed off.

Spoken like a true Idealist!

But dang, dude, cool shot 9 X 9 can be a life saver. Only 40k a game. That's chump change relative to how much you earn each match especially when you stay alive longer.

I used to hate seeing the consumables too.....

then I noticed after a few events etc I had big stockpiles of them that I didn;t have to pay for. So I said wtf and equipped various ones on various mechs to use them, figured heh- if I get a XP/C-bill reward for targeting in match or something because I put a free UAV up, all the better.

Not that I want a bunch of cool shots(I actually don;t use those) vs MC rewards. But I never look a gift horse in the mouth as the saying goes.

edit- oh yeah, i got the grand prize on like open #10 out of my 50 freebies from preorders. I have only played 7 matches so far this weekend(it's fathers day you chumps, make a phone call or go hang out with your kids or some ****) So, yay grand prize for like no effort!! Cheers!

If he's your cousin then I guess he's my cousin too, bro. Just don't like this post please as I don't want to cause any sort of ruckus. It's already bad enough that I'm quoting you.

I just got the grand prize but cannot equip the radar deprivation module. It shows up in owned modules but it will not let me drag and equip it. Still shows as 'locked'. And that was what I wanted most. Thought would save me 15K GXP.

Have you gotten the screen like in OP?

Edit: Ah, yeah, you need to unlock the skill first. But at least you won't need to spend the 6,000,000 C-bills :)
