Not sure if anyone has posted this yet or not, but I just got the Dark Chocolate achievement. It's... okay.

Spoiler

It's 100 MC and a standing item: chocolate madcat for the Clan one.

Need clarification on the Hard Boiled Challenge.

I was overheating, and shut down. On the next firing phase, I was overheating, triggered override, bypassed the shutdown, then shut off override. Scored over 100 match score, won the match, and survived.

Challenge was not awarded.

What went wrong? Are you only allowed to override once? Does override have to be on for the entire match?

The override challenge seems bugged. I've done as the challenge states and completed it multiple times, but it doesn't get a check mark as achieved. Maybe I'm missing something? Step one - Overheat. Step two - Override. Step three - survive with a score of at least 100. Step four - Win. Anyone else having an issue?

Yes, doesn't register

Unlocked mine without issue; Played Kitfox, overheated, overrode the overheating with override, got more than enough matchscore and won the game.

That's good to know. I've completed everything else using a Nova. Maybe there's a requirement to use a light mech. I'll give this a go.

[Commander A9]

Or maybe you're only allowed to override once WITHOUT shutting down at all during the match...that's how it was last time they had something like this...

I mean, free stuff, but yeah -- that's underwhelming at best.

[Kael Posavatz]

does killing the VIP mech count for the IS assault?

[ZortPointNarf]

Hard boiled seems bugged for me too, I've tried overheating early on and then getting to the score, and getting the score then overheating (every time hitting override the moment I start to shutdown). Not quite sure what I am missing. (Yes, did win match and had score over 100)

Update: Finally unlocked, might have just been a delay.

My Timber Wolf has Jump Jets, does it not count?

[Anatidaephobia]

Anyone else seeing mechs on sale, but not really having lowered cbill prices from what I can tell?

[Scynonymz]

Just an update for anyone having the Hard Boiled challenge issue.

This worked. I played using an Artic Cheetah. laser spamming right at match start. Overheating, immediate override, and then shut override off.

Yup. Just got it myself... I suppose the first part is okay?

[Fox the Apprentice]

To those who didn't get Hard Boiled, did you enable override *while shutdown* from overheating? I'm at work so I can't try it, but that sounds like what the successful people did.

[Commander A9]

So that means you have to shut down once, enable override, then get the "override shutdown" warning..

Yes. First attempt i thried just that.
Now i am waiting if second or third attempt worked..

Hey Folks!
Adding the rest of the JJ mechs as we speak...

- First Pass was a search of all mechs that come with JJ
- Second Pass was all mechs that can Equip Jump Jets
-Third pass should grab up all the mechs with Fixed Equipment.

Sorry for the Confusion.

I have been putting the Easter sale together this morning and will be adding the missing mechs to that as well.

override challange bugged
overheat-override-100+-win
5 times in a row

zeroo effect

[Commander A9]

Everything I've tried thus far has failed...this is getting frustrating.

Tried keeping override on all match.

Tried shutting down, switching override on, then getting the bypass shutdown notice.

Tried it in a light.

Tried overheat-shutdown once, then avoiding it the rest of the match.

Each time, I've won, survived, and gotten over 100 match score-still nothing.

By the way, the Timber Wolf-S DOES count for the jumpjet challenge, but is unlisted.
