I can buy weapons, but all the other categories show only things that I own. Leftover ammo from previous builds, heat sinks and engines I own. That's about it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I assume you are trying to buy mech parts in the inventory?

Go to the mech lab instead, install whatever you want in one of your mechs, and click "save". The parts which you didn't own before get added to your inventory, and the cost in c-bills will be deducted from your account.

Weapons and other equipment are greyed out that the mech either do not have actual hardpoints (ballistics are greyed out for an all energy mech) then followed by weight and crit slots exceeding a specific weight. Partial availability happens when the mech has an available weapon slot but either not enough crit slots and/or not enough free weight below a specific number, and the issue will have the slot/weight in red.

Like the example below. There is an opened ballistic slot for the machine gun but no slot nor available weight. Same for some of the missiles. The other ballistics take up too many slots (only 5 slots avail in the Right Torso) or exceed the weight limit cutoff (needing to free up a lot of weight).

I can access weaponry, but things like ammo, engines, heat sinks and consumables are gone. Only the previous things I owned show up.

I go to the warehouse, and it only shows what I own. I'm able to buy new weapons, but I can't purchase ammunition, equipment and modules.

That's what it's supposed to do.

Not from inventory you can't.

You do that straight in the mechlab. Show us a screenshot taken when the issue occurs.

EDIT: Question, are you perhaps assuming you have to pay for ammo reloads? That is not the case, you only pay for the bins.

and modules.
The module system was removed more than half a year ago. They do not exist any more.

^^^^

No more Repair and Rearming needed for your mechs, that was removed ages ago. And the module system + old skill tree were combined, along with other "quirk" items combined into the new Skill Tree. If you had played long time ago and just coming back, when logging in you would have also had pop up a conversion sheet showing various conversions.

You can see that sheet anytime in game or the website/your profile then [View Skill Tree Refund Ledger]

https://mwomercs.com/profile then click on [View Skill Tree Refund Ledger] [View Skill Tree Refund Ledger]

Edit - also about ammo. There are check boxes uncheck to show all ammo or check to show ammo for EQUIPPED weapons. Good to have checked to make sure you do not purchase the wrong type of ammo....then equipped said ammo then save mech profile to make the actual purchase.

NOW.. if you do not have the funds you will not able to able to purchase said items.. your register cost will show up in the red.. meaning you do not have enough funds for the purchases..

Just trying to cover as many bases as possible since there are no actual screenshots of what you are seeing....

Never mind, it appears everything was fixed. Thanks for the help, though.
