Just remember to claim your free mech (free MC, free mechbay, and other goodies!) here:

Just be aware of when this event ends in your timezone, and when is the latest you can claim your free mech and goodies!

Have fun!

i will definitely sell the clan mech for the mech bay as i don't play clan often or even light mechs for that matter (i'll pull out one of my Urbies now and again for the lols but thats about it). might keep the Javelin but probably not. still two free mech bays and the other extras are worth it.

kinda bummed there is no free paint pattern though. oh well two mechs make up for that i guess if you like running lights.

il keep em unless i have them already. i think i own all the javelins, so that one is going to go, not sure about the cheetah though. free mech bay(s?).

The Javelin I am very much looking forward to though and also the Jet Blast decals!

it may be worth holding out for the june patch, as it is getting a fairly hefty agility buff.

Do not sell them, since one day you might find out that you would use them.

They look nicely even without a special pattern. I won these 'Mechs on Saturday.

I made these two pictures so you can see how neat they are:

Arctic Cheetah E




JVN-11A Javelin

There is the upcoming stats change of certain light 'Mechs, so you should wait with selling those 'Mechs.

Im assuming if you already have one or both mechs you just get the slots and credits in lieu for it?

No, you will simply get a new 'Mech of the same type that you own.

Even if its the exact same varient?

Yes. If you already have one Arctic Cheetah E, you will have a pair of them. It happened to me with the Timber Wolf a month ago.

[Leone]

I actually have three of that Madcat now. It's nice I suppose when I wanna drop in CW, or do back to back drops whilst my mech's are waiting for other matches to finish.

Yup, and sometimes you’ll do this intentionally with mechs you play in multiple configurations or have in multiple faction play drop decks. (Not that most people do...). I have several Warhammer 6R’s, Awesome 8Q’s, and Shadowhawk 2K’s.

[Wildstreak]

Keeping the E since I didn't have one and it lets me use a Cheetah while my other 4 sit around, just debating if I should run ECM again or dare without.
Keeping the Javelin.

well then it’s a free mech bay and some cash.

How in the heck does one shoot down a UAV?

shoot it with direct fire weapons, they only have 10 health

Easiest way is to press "H" for Heat Vision, and look for what stationary dots in the sky.

When you spot one, move your targeting reticle directly over the UAV white dot.
When this happens, the "range" changes from infinite [sky], to 600 meters as an example.
Shoot the enemy UAV, might need a few shots depending on your weapon type/range.
I personally prefer lasers and longer range PPC for UAV kill.
(Optional: depending on how high your UAV white dot is, you might also need to press [Left_Shift] to unlock your arms.)

Finally, try not to run around 100% of the time in Heat Vision; you cannot see the 'smoke' pre-alert from the artillery strike per se. Good luck!

Point and click.
