I have a question about larger mech packs that I have not been able to find a answer about.

Specifically the resistance/R2 packs and the faction content. I get the early adopter items and such are long gone.

Do the "Faction Content packs" unlock the colors associated with them for the entire account? Or just the 4 chassis in the pack?

So ordering the Mauler pack and getting 6 faction packs I could select each of them and get the 6 associated colors for each faction totaling 36 colors? If so, I would assume the clan versions work the same way(well, for the last one the IIC's, the earlier Resistance and clan pack only show 3 colors each)

Either way, I want more mechs, kids want more gaudy colors to decorate them in. Wondering if this is a way to kill both birds with one shot since the overlord is relaxing the purse strings.

Colours are unlocked across all mechs, only patterns are mech specific. Yes, 'tis a good plan.

Colors are not restricted to mechs (unless a default pattern of the special versions as such they are the "default" colors instead of basic green).
The faction colors are colors. As such they are available for all mechs. Patterns are restricted to the four chassis.

Am not sure if it is 6 colors or just 3 per faction. But yes, you'd get the paterns associated with all six factions that you choose.

Clans work the same on the packs that do this, yes.

That is how I got most of my colors, except for the ones you can open with C-bills. I think that there are 4, red, purple, pink and something else. Then the default green

Thanks all.

That works out great, I get the mechs I want and don't have to spend more than I need to on colors for MC, I can use those MC on patterns instead.

You also get another 3 colors from the Resistance II pack - Resistance Black, Red and White.
Not sure if the same is true for Origins but I'd expect that to be the case.
