Greetings MechWarriors!
This month's update includes the new Bloodname Booster Pack 'mechs, the Kitfox KFX-P and the Summoner SMN-G. Check out the screenshots and quirks below! We also have a brand new Quick Play map from Francois called Emerald Vale, based on the Faction Play map Emerald Taiga. This patch also includes the 8th Quirk Pass, some Quirk adjustments, and more.
Also, if you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check out our MWO Road Map here, and look out for a Dev Vlog coming very soon!
As with everything, these updates are subject to further balance changes in the future, especially as more variables are brought into the equation with future updates and changes.
So get out there and do the science, and get us your feedback for future iterations!
And now, we hope you enjoy the patch.

Patch Files (Direct Download)
To make the patching process easier for players with limited download caps, we'll be providing direct download links for the patch file(s) that comprise this patch. This will allow you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, for manual injection into the MWO patcher through a Patch Cache folder.
Aside from allowing you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, on another connection, there are no additional benefits to performing the patch this way; the patching process itself will be the same.
This direct patch download process will only work for players running the standalone client. It does not apply to players running MWO through Steam.
Patch File(s): - http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/frontend/FrontendPatch_398.zip
- Download the above file(s)
- For sake of ease, we recommend creating a dedicated folder for the patch file(s), such as 'MWO Patch Cache'
- You do not need to unzip or unpack the patch file(s)
- Launch the MWO Portal
- Select the three horizontal lines in the top left of the Portal Window
- Choose the 'Specify Patch File Cache' option
- In the field that appears, paste or enter the location in which you saved the patch file(s) and hit OK
- For example, C:\Users\<username>\Documents\MWO Patch Cache
- Click the blue Patch button
- The launcher will now check the Patch Cache folder you defined. If it locates the required patch files, it will unpack and use those files to apply the patch.
