Hi all. No, this is not a thread asking you to pick a mech for me. I have only been playing for a couple of weeks or so. How often do mechs go on sale? That includes mechs for MC and/or C-bills. Also, how big is the sale usually? Right now, some are on sale for C-bills, 40% off. Is that a massive and rare sale, or is it common? Will it be a week, a month, half a year, or a year before we see another such sale? Thank you to any mech veterans who can give me the bigger in-game economic picture.

Sales are pretty frequent, there is usually something each month, but the sales around this time of year are normally the best and the rarest. MC is on sale right now, and that only comes once or twice a year usually.

Ok. How soon are we likely to see mechs on sale, 40% off for C-bills again?

During summer-autumn we had each weight class on 65% sale on their turn, each for about a week I recall. But it's been several months since last sale, maybe close to 4 months now.

I would think and hope that some sales would come, I've stockpiled cbills and mechbays. 65% is the usual price on cbill sale.

hero champion's hit sale a few times a year, they are either 35 or 50% off on MC

C-bill sales are rare.. the last few years they all went on sale for 35% off in January. outside of that, they are rare, so if you see a mech you really want, get it or you could be waiting a LOOONG time.

I honestly don't recall the sale last summer.. but ok, there could of been one. but to note, it was for 35% off.. you paid 65% in case you were confused.

So, in other words, this 40% off sale, is the lowest c-bill sale they have had to date at least i think, i don't recall a 50% off C-bill sale.

The hero sales, a couple times a year they happen, outside of that it is a random crap shoot.
