JUNE FREE MECH EVENT!

EVENT PAGE >>>

A NOTE ABOUT SPECIFIC WEAPON DAMAGE TARGETS

Please be advised that the Weapon damage requirements are very specific.

EXAMPLE

For the "Earn 1000 Damage with Clan SRM 6" Challenge, You must use that exact weapon system.

For the "Earn 1000 Damage with IS SRM 4" Challenge, You must use that exact weapon system.

Using SRM 4 With Artemis is a different stat pool and will NOT count towards your goal.

all of the weapon systems requirements are available to be used without purchase on the Light Trial Mechs

Hmm... Looks like this is going to turn crazy in a quick order...

nice 2 free mechs!

[gearheadstu]

It looks like the event is bugged. Damage from SRM-4s with Artemis is not being counted towards the Javelin award.

I've played two matches in an ASN-21 running 4x SRM4-As. Between the two matches, I've dealt around 700 damage, but the "Earn 1000 damage with IS SRM4" still shows 0 progress.

Not complaining, it's just funny that have about 15% of mechs... and almost every single free mech from the last 2 years is a repeat of one of them. Same goes for both these.

Still, free stuff is free stuff, I shall accept them.

Damage inflicted by Clan SRM6 with Artemis is not counting for the event. I was able to change the SRM's to standard guidance and it seems to be working

Only works with Clan SRM6 and IS SRM4. Will not work with Artemis.

I can confirm that damage done with SRM+Artemis is not being counted.

In the picture the Javelin and Arctic Cheetah are both shown with paint jobs, on the event page it does not have a mission to earn the paint that is shown in the picture. Is this an oversight or intentional? As the previous free mechs did have paints as a reward.

[EightBitKnight]

Well looks like I'll be hitting the old mechlab after work and dust off the old SRMs mechs. Catapult here's looking at you baby lol

Event is NOT bugged. For the game, SRM6 and SRM6a are two different weapon systems, same goes for SRM4 and SRM4a or SRM2 and SRM2a (and for the LRMs, too).

But, you aren't the first ones to wonder about this, some events in the past either had it in the challenge description or even made both versions count (I seem to remember some challenge with both LRM15 and LRM15a counting).
Maybe Daeron will pick up the idea to have requirements like this in the future say "SRM4 damage (SRM4+Artemis does NOT count)".

I appreciate the solid light 'mech picks!
Even if I have 'em, free is free
I've been playing with brand new players recently and they'll definitely love earning these.
p.s. bring your bug swatters for all the new light mech jumpies

Just gonna say that after doing some matches, this particular event is very smooth to go. Keep it up.

Another amazing UAV detection event. So fun to see lights suicide rushing to launch UAV.

[Vamboozle]

Luckily spotted the fact that SRM+Artemis doesn’t count before I’d spent TOO long doing damage that didn’t count.

And man do I hate PPCs…..still I’ll grit my teeth and get on with it

Hey PGI, quick suggestion.
Don't get me wrong, I'm loving all the free mechs but please stop giving us free mechbays.

Put the mechs on 'pending' until we have a free mechbay of our own. Let us collect them for up to three months.
The free mechs are great for new players especially, they make a huge difference to how playable the game is, but if you want to monetise that - in a very respectful, sensible, proportionate way - make people buy the mechbays.

It'll cost players, what? about a buck fifty a month if we buy a ten pack on sale. That's very, very reasonable. It's not evil microtransactions, it's not EA Games style pay to play, it's just the cost of keeping the servers running and the lights on.

if you want to support the game that is fine (I have), but for the love of god stop advocating to make other people's experience worst

Woah woah ... are you saying that's NOT how you launch UAVs from light Mechs?!
