I'd vote archer over the warhammmies if only because the Archer W is a truer wolf's dragoon's mech than the black widow warhammer is (as N.K. used a stock 6R during her time in the dragoon's after she lost her marauder). That and the fact its a blast to play. Literally....16 tons of missiles and 9 launchers

For new players looking to drop $20 on a set of heavies that can translate to good QP or FP play I would still go with the Whammers, because lore doesn't live here... much...

So seeing the new pictures I take it that the mechs won't have those sweet tie dye colors will they? Because I was really looking forward to that sweet paint job.

Loyalty have had a rather unique camo the past 2 years so I don't see why they wouldn't have it again... perhaps the devs needed to change them up for their own sanity...

[Jaspbo1]

They change them every year, this year I guess their inspiration was classic thermal vision, or a tie dye which I am starting to see now. Wish they had the funky cockpit glass colour again though.

When do we get to see the quirks on these guys?

On patch

I already explained that two pages ago.... the quirks (if any) will be announced with the patch notes.

[Juodas Varnas]

Can we get some attention to the fact that the Cataphract is missing its Left Arm Hand Actuator?

Both the record sheets for it (and the previously released loadout details for the variant) show the fact that the Left Arm is supposed to have full suite of actuators (upper, lower, hand) while the Cataphract in the picture has the ugly metal stump instead of the hand, like the Cataphract variant that is missing the Hand Actuator (CTF-4X).

Well, I have bought the Bushwacker Ultimate Collection before october. So this means I will only get the Blackjack-2.
To be honest, the blackjacks werent a mech I was planning on buying. But with the BJ-2 Loyalty mech I will buy 2 other blackjacks now. After I have bought another Victor that is... I wanted an assault mech but I didnt want to get the 'good' assaults... This is how silly I am.

Oh well, I think I will have fun(?) with my bushwackers.

[Dee Eight]

No you'll get the cataphract. The BJ-2 only comes from MC purchases or steam performance packs.

How my Adder Prime with PPCs relates to this I'm not particularly sure. Someone else tried using a video where the b33f runs around in a locust 1E and I was the last to fall in a cheetah to prove another point again unrelated to anything being discussed other than the b33f is a good player. Also at the stage I killed myself in the adder from overheat, I was fighting six enemy mechs SOLO because the rest of the pansies on my team had all died early, in a conquest game, because they were more concerned with chasing the KMDDs than actually playing the game mission, even to the point of not actually hitting the R key because they didn't want to share the info that they were engaged with targets someone else might then do more damage to.

If you wanted to post screen caps relevant to a discussion on lrms, you should use one where I'm banging off 4 kills or 10 kill assists in one of my LRM mechs like my Archangel. Or 888 damage games in my streak crow again with many kills and assists.

Tried to pay you a compliment on your skill as a light pilots, and how you fought all in til the end. I got a lecture on how your team stunk, and that I should compliment your skills as an Lrm pilot. Next time a simple thanks will do.

Hey all!

I've added the Quirk breakdown for those new 'Mechs into the Loadout Details post here. You can find the Quirks for each underneath their Loadout tables.

Also, the artist who handled the Ultimate Reward items knocked it out of the park, and I can't wait until the Patch Notes on Monday to show you at least one of them. Both the Atlas and the Kodiak Ultimate Reward items have these kill animations. Pardon the slight hit to the lighting quality in this GIF.

But I thought you explained two pages ago that they would be announced with the patch notes.... (which by the way is NOT how the quirks were announced for the last loyalty mechs.. they were announced ahead of time)

So how do you explain this?

Yes Dee please explain on how you are wrong yet again.... one of the few joys of my life is seeing you consistently sticking your foot in your mouth like you speak for everyone and PGI here on these forms.

Now... if only the Atlas can do this on a kill~

Because at the time I wrote that... I wasn't... Alexander did explain that the loyalty quirks would be in the patch notes. That he also then, as a PGI staffer updated the loyalty mech loadouts page with the quirk info, isn't anything I have any control of, or knowledge he would do ahead of time. That you and GasGuzzler cannot tell that I wrote my post 2 days before Alexander wrote his on your own, is not my problem.

[Gas Guzzler]

Quirks are always in the patch notes, including the mech of the month quirks, yet we get those early as well. Just because Alexander said they would be in the patch notes doesn't mean they wouldn't be somewhere else.

Oh wow that is pretty.
