Thank you for giving us the chance to earn a free mech; otherwise, we would have to buy it, and most players are cheapskates!

I see many replies about players with insufficient time to play this game.
The matches take a maximum of 15 minutes, almost no one plays Faction Warfare anymore.
There is sufficient time to play a few matches a night.

If you don't have the time to play, we don't really care anyway.
We are happy shooting stompy robots!

The alternative is worse, wasting time on MechWarrior 5 turn based garbage. 8-)

Last time I checked, MW5: Mercenaries was very much a real-time shooter, you probably mean HBS' Battletech...

it's free?

you get a free mech every month just for playing and now you want it to be a legendary or loyalty variant?

could you be any more entitled?

Hey... One can dream... Right ?! ;)

Anyway, you don't know what you do with your brand new hard-earned Gargoyle? I got you covered!

The idea is also to show, with my modest skill, how the mech is piloted.
But for the TL;DW who want to go directly to the builds, it's as always in the description of the video:

2.: Why Clan Wolf theme?! Why no love for poor Falcons? Wait, I understand now! Next free mech would be Stone Rhino with CJF themed-goodies! <DO it, DO, DO, DOOOOOO!!! ... Posted Image


Because F Malvina Hazen, all the homies hate Malvina Hazen.

Whatever the reason is : I am glad P.G.I. gave us the pattern!

Without it the Gargoyle is a seriously ugly mech! Posted Image

To be perfectly honest, even with the best paint-job the Gargoyle is still ugly AF!

The only problem is that Clan Smoke Jaguar is the one who developed the Stone Rhino

Stone Rhino (Behemoth) - BattleTechWiki (sarna.net)


I know. But it not means we cannot pair CJF-theme with Amaris' Folly, right?

BTW I managed to round-up my prize Gargoyle pretty nicely! 2xcER-PPCs + 3xHeavy Med-lasers. could hurt but keep calm n cold pretty well. So far it performed well (not as well as a 4xcER-PPCs Executioner)...

Trial mechs are available to anyone for free. It's mostly for new players who don't have their own mechs and/or want to try another mech style.
To see them on your mechbay, be sure you have "all mechs" (or just "trials") selected - it's on top of the mech list iirc.

I claimed the mech - at least according to the events page - and while I have the new mech bay showing up the Gargoyle itself isn't. Is the events page wrong and I need to get all 10,000 points or is there something else I need to do to get the Mech to show up?

Nevermind, I logged out then back in and it was there.
