I noticed in my choose mech screen that some of the mechs have a 2X XP modifier on them which seems to be for mechs I haven't played in a bit. Can anyone explain how it works please?

I've noticed that sometimes I get one game before the 2X XP disappears and sometimes I get two. I was wondering if it's capped at a set amount per day or if it depends on how many games you play with that variant.

If it is a daily thing, when does it reset?

I'd like to exploit it as much as possible to level my commandos. I only want to spend money upgrading one of them so for the other 2 I'll use to unlock elite skills I'll be playing them as stock and they kinda suck. My other mechs seem OK out of the box even if they are comparatively slow and don't have the firepower of upgraded mechs but slow lights are just awful.

It's a daily thing. You get it once per day per variant that you have and you get double of whatever XP you earned in that match, so make sure you have a really good one when you win.

I believe it resets at midnight UTC, which would be 2AM CEST or 5PM PST.

Ahh thanks. The 2 in a row I got must have been because of the matches spanning the reset timer.

You also only get double XP on a victory, so you could have lost a game and won a game. When you have a really good game with premium time enabled and double XP you can get quite a bit in one match. It's a good idea to try and play each mech once a day if you can.

You can move equipment off of a mech, even if it's currently in a game, and onto another mech to use right away. This is great if you are sharing an engine or expensive modules between mechs.

It's a great way to help you grind mechs.

Yea that happens.. But i forget the exact reset time.. i should make note.. because it is really nice when you are leveling mechs, and can get the double bonus!

I forgot to ask: How does the double XP, or XP in general, work with faction warfare?

I pretty much only play QP anyway (only had 1 game of FW ever) but it will be good to know.

Can I use the double XP bonus on 4 mechs at once? Do all mechs get the full game XP or only the one you start or end in? Is game XP split between all 4 or if you don't use 4 mechs just the ones you use?

<edit> Also, regarding FW in general, should I introduce myself to it by taking short contracts and farming the free mech bays you get at rank 2 of each faction, just stay freelance or look for a newbie friendly clan?

I believe the XP is split evenly between all mechs that have dropped out of a dropship. This is sometimes used to level variants that aren't very good by dropping it in the final stages of the game when you're about to win/lose anyway.

XP is split evenly amongst all the mechs that drop, then the XP gets doubled, or champion bonuses, or whatever. If you only drop three, that last doesn't get anything, but keeps it's x2,

Thanks for the info guys.

Some clarification in regards to FW XP.

1) All XP earnt is pooled together
2) Premium /championship sponsor bonuses are applied
3) XP is distributed evenly among all mechs that dropped.
4) Champion bonus is applied to champion mechs XP
5) Assigned XP is doubled for any mech that has the daily 2x

EDIT: While it's been stated it was a bit obscured. Double XP is only spent and applied in the FIRST VICTORY of the day, losing doesn't double your XP or spend the double XP daily.
