I just noticed it's only Lights and Assaults on sale. Why?

It's not pay to win. It's paying for a Mech with unique outlier quirks and a cool paintjob, and it's supporting the dev team so they can keep updating the game.

You do realize, 6 months later you will have access to buy this with MC, right????

[Utsuho Reiuzi]

The Juggernaut and Moonwalker don't appear to be on sale, in spite of it saying all Assaults - are they supposed to be exempt?

And the next on Power-Crepe... a double high-mount marauder, will it have ECM or MASC as well? Only 15$. Can we get an Urbie with a Nuke now?

The best I can get with an LFE 295 is 2xUAC10 (3 tons ammo), 2xLPPC, and 2xLMG (1 ton ammo). That is with Endo and LFF Armor, and leaving zero crits unused. You would need an XL to add more equipment. And MASC would need to be in the Arms even in that case.

Undoubtedly for the event they will have inevitably this weekend....

Fair. Can we also get highmounts and ECM on EVERY SODDING MECH IN THE GAME AS WELL?

Since you know, Thanos already has it.

One other chassis getting a variant that can do same but worse that an already existing one of same tonnageisn't power creep. From what we've been told, the Marauder won't have ECM, won't have jump jets and won't have MASC - all it will have are high ballistic mounts, and mechs which can do that are a dime a dozen.

I will have to play around but will probably go with a LFE280, 2LL, 2UAC10, 2LMG. LFF is rarely worth the space I find except for some special circumstances on heavies. While LPLs are great I am not as worried about the burn time with the LL as I will be facing down and double tapping the UACs. After putting out the 58 points of damage from the UACs and LLs it is time to twist away and let cooldown reset. The LMGs can be used later when something with open components is available.

The marauder though has phenomenal geometry going for it when it comes to twisting and absorbing damage. Some things aren't reflected by the numbers on the paper and its performance stands out.

Let's wait for the quirks shall we?

That sounds like a rather smart idea to me! Too many people being far beyond unnecessarily judgemental before the items are even out!


In the meantime, I'm wondering why the "Invasion Orange" & "PC Gamer Black" Colors failed to show up in-game as being available and On-Sale for purchase? Also, why the heck did they cancel the "Spooky Pumpkin" from being On-Sale for the Standing Cockpit Items when it originally showed they would make it possible to get at a discount? This is seriously confusing to me!

Were we supposed to be able to buy Moonwalker from the in-game store?

I don't think PC Gamer Black was ever available for MC before, only as a code redeem originally and more recently as an event reward.

Why are not Scattershot and Dreadnought included in the 50% off assault and mediums sale? (and no forumwarriors, if it was because they were recently introduced to the in-game store then Moonwalker Juggernaut wouldn't be discounted)
Can we have those included please?

That's exactly the reason. Addition of Moonwalker and Juggernaut were a mistake made by Frostbyte, which he confirmed on Cauldron discord server.
