Topic title. Got a bolt on in a supply cache, but I have no idea what it fits on.

Is there a list somewhere that figures this out?

From a brief inspection, bolt-on seem to not fit non-humanoid mechs, while they fit evey humanoid mech I checked.

I think if you hover over it on the bolt-ons page it shows you.

The page only polulates for mechs that can currently fit bolt-ons, so you have to check it on something like a Centurion, Atlas, or Urbanmech.

I figured it out. I won a 'Fan Blade', but it only fits on a cent. The Atlas also has a fan blade bolt on, but I didn't win that one.

UI could use a lot of help here.

Not all of them though. Last time I checked my Roughneck couldn't install any of the bolt-ons.

So apparently I won one - Some tusks or honrs or whatever.
The equipment I got with it (2x clan Masc) is in my inventory, but not the tusks.

No matter which mech I select, they do not appear in the list of bolt-ons, so there's no way for me to hover over them & see what they fit onto...
Dodgy UI, and no idea if they're registered to my account...

Bolt-ons are mech specific, but they don't tell you which mech you won it for... so you'll have to go hunting through all your mechs (assuming you even own it in the first place).

It should be trivial for PGI to hotfix a parenthetical label to each bolt-on. Shoulder Cage (Atlas), Fan Blade (Centurion), and so on.

Same here, I can't find won bolt-ons anywhere, just MC bolt-ons.

Also K9's lights and siren got removed and is now listed as a bolt-on but can't add it back on.

Banshee's got the Tusks with the hazard stripes. Atlas has Rollcage shoulder as well.

we could just make a list here of who finds what.
