Will they be reusable?

If you buy them are they yours forever or are they like consumables, 1 and done?

I would assume they are much like the cockpit items though possibly restricted to weight class or specific chassis but reusable if you feel like taking it off of one of your atli and putting it on a different one.

Can we shoot the ugly damn things off a mech? Nothing like an atlas with a mohawk to inspire fear in quick play.

I would love to see this as like an indicator of damage...

MC for bonus cockpit armor in the shape of ugly mohawks.

Bolt-ons fall off on hit, even if you don't hit the component it's attached to.

You can now battle with even more style with the all new Bolt-On 'Mech customization in the Mechlab.
This new customization has been added to the Camo Spec panel where you will be able to mount these bolt-ons on your 'Mech's head, left arm, right arm, spine, left shoulder, right shoulder, left elbow and right elbow if available. All Bolt-ons can be purchased with MC or won through the all new Solaris Supply Cache system.

Your 'Mech's equipped Bolt-Ons, earned and purchased in Solaris, will also be visible in all of MWO's game modes including Quick Play and Faction Play.

Note that any weapon damage in a match will cause the Bolt-Ons to fall off your 'Mech. Bolt-ons do not absorb/block/transfer incoming damage. If the Bolt-on is struck, but the 'Mech's hitbox is not, no damage will be done to the 'Mech and the Bolt-on will fall off.

I for one look forward to shooting exposed head ornaments when they are barely peeking out.

Like shooting the spike off of a german helmet.

[Captain Polux]

Should be exclusive to Solaris.

Also, it looks as unnecessary as someone that adds a spoiler and rims to an old beater car.

Cool. So that implies I can shoot off a teammate's ugly bolt-on w/o causing team damage.

Bolt On should be only useable in Solaris Maps, i really don't looking forward seeing all Mechs in Game with this ugly crap, or there should be an option to make it invisible!

I'm just saying, don't expect to not have repercussions for shooting your team mates, most importantly the bad will that will negatively impact teamwork caused when you spend the first five minutes of the match shooting them because you're fanny flustered over their cosmetic choices.

Exactly.

[Alex Morgaine]

Eh, lore has some kooky addons, like a banshee with a jesters cap, a riced out locust(i think it was pink and had figurines glued on it...?) and so on, but yeah some will just be stupid looking to some people. Like glowing atlas eyes or extensions on arms that look like shields...

I know what I'll be doing for the 1st minute of every drop now, thanks for entertaining me while we close with the enemy pgi

[BumbleBee]

Can i make an Urbie look like a Killa Kan?
