You will get the Atlas and a mech bay.
You can choose to strip the mech for parts and sell it

Thank you! The loot bag events are always fun!
Your timing was perfect. I was helping a couple friends do last minute grinds for the Canadian/4th and Cool Map events last night when this very pleasant surprise popped up and went live.
(Yes my two friends both managed to get all the colors out of the 4th event like they wanted.) This was just icing on the cake for us and we all had a really good time. Thank you!

Glad to hear it! I hope you and your friends enjoy all the Loot bags and Content!

FYI can't purchase the items that are suppose to grant bonus bags for this event since your payment processor was hit by ransomware & isn't back online yet. You should extend the deadline of the pre-order on that mech pack due to this.

Just putting this out there:

<<<snip>>>

Ugh... 'Lockheed_'... You're reading way too much into it. No really, I mean way beyond too much. *facedesk*

Bah... I'll probably have to reach back up there, just to put some of that inside a shrinker. Those paragraphs were meant ONLY as a kind of "What If...?" sort of thinking, merely with the intent of player retention and kindness to newer players, but very literally nothing more. If our friendly 'Matt Newman' decided to look for any opinions on an adjustment point because his metrics for the Event were showing too many people struggling, at least I've been a constructive person who kindly gave him something to utilize too. Please try to look more at the bright sides, instead of possible negatives that are based on the past!

Now, to give you a rough idea, I used to be the kind of person who would have wanted to pull the count for the last Pick-A-Prize item down to around 250 out of 300 total. These days, I'm not that kind of "crazy critic" type of person anymore. I would very likely verbally pulverize somebody with the use of a soundly uncrunchable & reasonable argument in return, particularly if they acted like a softener to somewhere from 275 to 290 was not enough. While it might be nice to have a little overhead in terms of where the finishing point is, it explicitly does NOT have to be mile-high either, and a limit from 8.33% down to only 3.33% in overhead is reasonably enough for that. (Quite frankly, I would probably opt for only about 285 of 300 total (5% overhead) on the button if I were having to do that kind of change personally.) Who needs to ask for something ridiculous anyway? Not me!!!

EDIT :: By the way, I just updated that previous posting with the shrinker which I was talking about. You might want to fix that area in your earlier quote of me to reflect the state change.

Now, pardon me... I've got battlefields to land on, Mechs to smash, and so on...

First I NEED to say THANKS all the events, challenges and cool things we earn by playing!

The events really are the icing on the cake, so to speak!

Looking forward to my first Atlas!

Keep it up!

My collection of Atlai rivals the Stalker collection of Jayz. Thanks but no thanks.

If you said Atlas IIC, well then I might make some space on my M.2. for your little event. I am still pretty happy plugging away @ MW5, on steam. (Finally.)

I am wondering why i did not get any GSPs from the Loot bags. Does anyone have the same issue?

[Ch_R0me]

I just realized that the event is missing a one, particular camo.

Lootbag-Content is random, so ye may just have had back luck. Have not checked if GSPs are on the list of available lootbag items though. Just got GXP and no GSPs so far either.

Thanks for the event, but, PLEASE, next time can we choose at last one of two mechs?.. Like "AS-7D or DWF-A"? Some of us already have "dusty AS-7D" while try to grab 200 lootbags for some c-bills, mech bay, few colors and some more trash items is not a rly fine IMHO.

You can sell that Atlas for extra C-Bills.

And I instead of GSP, I just got a ton of warhorns.

There was a way of the "3 second rule", but can't find it anymore; something to open bag, then wait exactly 3 seconds, and open next one. By that, the chances to get the same reward is higher.

[Kalimaster]

Loot bags, you never can go wrong with loot bags. Thanks.

Ich habe jetzt 165 Lootbags geöffnet und kein APS erhalten.... Sind diese überhaupt Teil der Belohnungen?
Sie sind in der Beschreibung aufgeführt ... aber bei 165..nicht einer ... Ich denke, sie wurden vergessen oder die Beschreibung ist einfach falsch

Edit :
Loot Bags : 200 ( 150 Event / 50 Bonus from Mech Pack )
GSP : 0

They are listed in the description ... but at 165..not one ... I think they were forgotten or the description is simply wrong

The text says: "All prizes are randomly selected."

Who wants to Strip & Sell a nice big Atlas that had to be fought for and earned? Not me, because I'll be keeping mine after I receive it!

Thank you for making it the Mech-of-the-Month to acquire, Matt... I look forward to putting some kind of fun build on it!

I'm curious about what items are actually available to be won, and at what kind of odds. The list says you can win GSP but I've opened 150 and got zero; on the other hand, it doesn't say you can win cockpit items and I've won quite a few of those.

Either I'm really unlucky or there's quite a limited selection of cockpit items available...winning 11 warhorns was cool except that 7 of them were Arcade warhorns (and another 3 were Urbanmech ones). The only hanging items I won were all 8-Bit Sunglasses (x3), which I guess is part of the "Beach Party" theme.

Looking forward to opening the next 150, just hoping for no more Arcade warhorns. At least I got a reasonable amount of MC so far

Many thanks for the Event! Mechs are always appreciated, No Matter If you already got them. And I got to say opening the lootbags is cool. Pretty much more fun than just clicking "Claim all".
And best of all, it's an Event you can do by just playing how and what you like.

Love it, keep it Up!

I still want a way to sell off un-used MechBays... I've got around 20 of those...

Are you kidding all of us? Have you faced a bad dose of heat stroke in the midst of this nice 2021 Beach Party which we are all having? Are you trying to troll somebody so hard that their head spins, just for the silly and insane laughs?

Getting past that small bout of confusion which you're causing me to have, I can seriously tell you that Mech Bays are not something one should ever want to sell. Just as an example, they can hold a second instance of a particular Variant with a different Loadout equipped and ready for you to use... something about a "One Mech Variant, Two Disciplines" kind of rule applied there. Further, if you're going into Faction Warfare stuff, that means you have the chance to use the same build twice. That's only possible when you have two physical Mechs ready to pilot with the same Loadout configured for your personal use. Take some joy in that bundle of spare Mech Bays which you have to work with, even if you already have just about every build and Variant that you want, because it gives you more ability to use and re-use your stuff! Think of the cool-as-ice positives, not the burned-out negatives!!!

(p.s.: For anyone wondering why I did something unusual and used double-emoji here... That was just the only way that I felt any proper emotion could be conveyed with this post.)

[FireStoat]

I've been away from the game for close to 2 years. I returned due to the rumors of the game improving with changes to mech weapons and agility. I love the changes, and this event was a fantastic thing to return to.
