Boo, no clan mech!

I'd like to file a petition that everyone who is complaining in this thread does not get the holiday mechs, but 100 lumps of coal

The Urbie's snowball camo makes me think of it as a snowcone and I love it!

[Ratsnacker]

Fantastic to see the old tradition continues. Also looks like a slightly longer period to get your matches in. I’m gonna try re-convince some buddies to come back. Free stuff is free stuff when all said and done.

I still say if everyone playing the event brings a friend we can build the game back up instead of killing it with negativity and requests for unrealistic updates.

Love the loadout that was shared in earlier post. URBIELOVE!!!!!!

[loopala]

you better not pout, you better not cry, cause Santa Urbie will put you on the naughty list.....



Enjoy your free Urbie and what ever that other mech is!

I don't believe you'll be able to sell these, but hey, adding completely free mechs to your collection by simply playing one game ain't a bad thing!

Thanks for your opinion, but it's precisely an opinion.
I was expecting a response from the devs...

There is no official word on the loadouts yet. Just pipe dreams of users.

In this case, you need to ask someone you know well to enter the game and play one match for you

Many players in this game have children who play under their parents' account

Mmh, play one game in december and get free stuff. Very generous indeed ... and will furthermore produce some high(er) numbers of players being listed as active end of year, eh? Smells like some kind of a Win-Win-Bargain here ... at least for PGI and em players that is.

Good for the annual EG7-review I suppose.

They have done this for some time now. They gave away the Vanguard and another mech that currenlty escapes me, then they had the Broadside and the Bludgeon. Playing one single match was always the requirement for these mechs.
Having to play one match is unfortunately not gonna increase the number of ative players that much anyway.

Roughneck Powerhouse was the 4th one.
The base models are already available this time, but unlike the other 4, you probably can't buy them with MC or real money later. They might end up being offered in the customer appreciation program 2021 again.

Actually, original basic versions of these Variants already exist without any kind of (C-Bills) and/or XP Boosts attached. And those ones are already purchasable with either (MC) or (C-Bills) only, albeit that one should really use (C-Bills) to purchase the In-Game Store versions that already exist. Just go look in the In-Game Store to find out what the Basic Loadout happens to be, if you're curious. If someone should want to duplicate the "(S)" versions as closely as they can, all they have to do is get their hands on "the original Variant + the Mountain Line Camo + the correct colors" in total, and they'll have the closest thing which they can manage. It still won't have the boost for (C-Bills) earning, however.

But yeah, do consider it possible that people may get access to them with the Annual Loyalty Rewards Program in the future, and don't expect an "(S)" version to be purchasable In-Game later, unless the folks at PGI are about to do something rather strangely interesting. Frankly, if they DID do something interesting in this regard, then I would be totally positive & thankful about it.
