So I bought the original MW5 Mercenaries via Epic store. today I bought the expansion, in the game itself it says I have the expansion but I cannot find where to download it from? Epic games are u/s and clueless.

In all games shown I have MW5 Mercenaries, uninstalled and reinstalled the game. Clicked the 3 dots next to the game and still nothing.

Im going to ask for a refund if this can not be sorted out. I'm in the UK.

I do not think that it is actually released yet. I bought it last night and have the same issue as you. I expect we will be able to download it later today when it officially releases on all platforms.

I'm able to play it now. Just launch the base game and the new content should be there (assuming you used the same Epic account to make both purchases).

If you have auto-updated turned off, you may need to update the base game first.

Try going into single player, there should be "career" as well as "campaign" career is the new one

This threw me off at first too. I believe Heroes of the Inner Sphere is an update to the base game. You just purchase a license from Epic to unlock the content. There is no separate download package.

I also bought it through the epic store, but unlike you, it doesnt even appear as "owned" in the ingame menu

Anyone else experiencing the same?

your 3rd pic indicates both that you own it and are in fact running it.

You must sign up for online services to activate the dlc it looks like. If I start base exe offline dlc doesnt load. Start through epic games and agree to online services bingo dlc.

i think it installs as part of the main game, because im seeing the new biome, mechs and weapons. i just figured it would have its own item in my games library.

wasnt there supposed to be infantry?

I've done the first few missions and a couple randoms, no infantry yet. So far its not any better from the base game and a few great mods. I had thought it was going to have a new storyline, oh well.
