Wikipedia defines a chicken walker as:

"A chicken walker is a fictional type of bipedal robot or mecha, distinguished by its rear-facing knee joint. This type of articulation resembles a bird's legs, hence the name.However, birds actually have forward-facing knees; they are digitigrade, and what most call the "knee" is actually the ankle."

The bottom of the event Page lists the mechs we have identified as "chicken walkers"

[Rhialto]

Ok what I thought. I was reformulating my previous post but you were faster with the answer.

[suffocater]

Supernova no chicken?

[Tarogato]

Marauder IIC
Linebacker
Bushwacker
Supernova

... appear to be missing from the chicken walker list.

[Palerider Recon]

I was JUST going to list those same "missing" 'mechs.

[Tarogato]

Also, the jumpjets mechs are listed inconsistently. Hopefully that doesn't create issues with the event. For instance,

BJ-2
BJ-2(L)
BLACKJACK BJ-3
BLACKJACK BJ-1
BLACKJACK BJ-1(C)

GHR-5H(C)
GHR-5H(S)
GRASSHOPPER GHR-5H
GRASSHOPPER GHR-5J
GRASSHOPPER GHR-5J®

THANK YOU!

Thank you for starting the event early enough so that those of us in the Asia-Pacific-Australia-Oceania time zones can work on it during our Friday night shenanigans.

[Diana Gearhead]

But can't the Dire Wolf equip jump jets?

[Der Hauptman]

Huntsman can also equip JJs...

And Timbi S and what about Night Gyr??

[ZachMan119]

Will the JJ mechs have to have JJ equipped? Or just be in a mech that can have them

Also if you kill the DWF that has JJs will that count as both chicken walker and JJ mech?

[Kargush]

What, Nova is a chicken walker but not a JJ mech? Are the people setting this up snorting drain cleaner or something? Same with the Viper.

[suffocater]

PGI drunk, but Supernova now chicken. Me happy (and drunk).

I believe 2 variants/omnipod pieces can have JJ...

DwF-W comes to mind...

[Tina Benoit]

We've added the missing Chicken Walker 'Mechs to the list, thanks for reporting!

And yes, if it is a Chicken Walker and a JJ Mech, it will count for both.

And another note, the Jump Jets 'Mech list is not fully correct, we're working on fixing, please hold!

[suffocater]

The event could have already started for my taste.

[TheFourthAlly]

Thumbs up, event starts properly on time for the Oceania region to make use of our Friday night and the theme and rewards are pretty funny and worth a bit of effort.

So big bummer I'll be away over the whole long weekend.

GLHF everyone.

[Tina Benoit]

We like to post a day ahead so players know when they will need to participate ahead of time. Although it's true that that's mostly helpful for dailies type events though.

We're rewording the Hopping Map, Jump Jet challenge to the following:
Achieve 10 Kill or Kill Most Damage Dealt using a Jump Jets capable 'Mech. (See the Jump Jets list)”

[Pilotshark]

Cool event! Thanks PGI!


PS

I know I am probably sounding like a broken record but the two most recent heroes added, the Supernova and Assassin hero names still aren't displaying. Just the chassis number SNV-BR and ASN-DD. Is this the new norm for hero mechs or oversight?

[Hawk819]

I'm willing to bet that we're getting some kooky war horn for the Easter surprise.
