It's a new quirk, but i have no idea what it is doing. Tag works while it's on, Narc is something else, When i add Narc nodes, it adds another quirk called, Narc duration.

Someone please explain this to me.

NARC duration been on mechs like the Raven for a long time.

I think it is in seconds so 15s extra. Someone else prob knows a bit more on it. NARC duration on skill tree further extends it as per the node value

The NARC Missile is pretty much a missile that applies sort of a homing beacon on an enemy Mech when it hits.

That can then be used to fire Missiles at the enemy even when it is under some ECM cover, gives the direct LOS base spread even if it is only in indirect LOS, also increases the accuracy and crit chance.

This "homing beacon" has a restricted lifespan by either its HP - bcs afaik it will be worn down by incoming damage - or a timer.
After the timer is down to zero it stops working (and the Mechlab does not say anything about that - according to old data the base Narc Duration is 20 second but i have no clue how it is today).

Additional Narc Duration increases the amount of time to tick down until it stops working.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that whoever typed up the quirk names just made a mistake and added "TAG" to the narc quirk.

Yes, ASH, I'm talking about the wording of the quirk of the arctic wolf. https://steamcommuni.../?id=2590205740


If you look on the right side, It says Narc tag beacon duration +15% Then under it it says Narc beacon duration +30%

One is the quirk on the mech and the other is from the skill tree. Is this a bug? are they stacking? I'm just kinda confused.
