Look on the sales page for the legendaries. The battle pass comes with the mech and is described on that page along with all the rewards. You do get a boatload of stuff for buying a legendary mech.

That is a most excellent build.

I am glad to hear the Sovereign is getting some love.

For US$15 you can buy Legendary mechs, and its Battlepass gives you 3000 MC back (and Premium Time, GSP, bonus CBills boosted cockpit items, unique decal, etc.)

Or, you can buy just US$15 worth of 3000 MC at regular regular price. No Legendary mech (and no Premium Time, no GSP, no bonus CBills boosted cockpit items, no unique decal).

A no-brainer in my books

Thank you MWO!
The gift that continues to give!

Unique Legendary twin arm Omnipods (EXE-B-A left arm and right arm pods) sounds brilliant;
sorta like the Dire Wolf UV arms, except it's exclusive to Legendary mechs!

Thank you MWO!

...UPDATE!
From Frost_Byte

In the February patch we'll be adding new rewards to the battlepass 20th tier. Along with unlocking the faceplate bolton, you will also be receiving two exclusive omnipods, the EXE-B-A left arm and right arm pods. Both pods will each feature 2 ballistic hardpoints, something not seen on any other Executioner variant. These pods will be battlepass exclusive. Once the Feb patch hits, anyone who has already completed the battlepass will be given these pods retroactively.

...We also have some buffs planned for the Sovereign as well quirk wise, keep an eye out for that and these new omnipods quirks in the Feb patch notes!

The Executioner-Sov removes the built in MASC equipment giving it alot of podspace and tonnage + the engine is a smaller one allowing for heavier ballistics instead of being a dedicated LaserVomit mech.

It's a nice switch, but even some of the best streamers are struggling with it after such a loss in mobility, despite having access to heavier weapons.

The Victor-LDT is surprisingly a lore accurate modification from the Draconis Combine.

What makes it special is the ability to fire off 10 medium lasers in Alpha, so 50 damage for 10 tons with no ghost heatscale.

That and giving significant quirks to medium heat and duration times gives it alot of punch while being able to use larger engines and full JJ + a huge cooldown to its 1 Missile rack that applies to every missile system.

They're both good corner peek mechs + poptarts, but with the same weakness of low/wide arm mounts and high cockpits, so flat ground is where they're dangerous, hill and slope peeking is where they're not.

I think the Victor is out of the box the better of the two, but both mechs have better alternatives in the assault bracket.

I run 2x C-Ultra AC 5 and 2x C-Ultra AC 10. Have owned since release, have yet to score less than 700 damage with it, Gets 1k+ rather consistently. Runs hot so manage your shots but it shreds all weight classes. I cannot wait for the Omnipods, I want to see if I can push this mech further, though not being able to change out the engine leaves much to be desired in terms of speed.

You need the EXE-A Right shoulder pod for the 2 C-Ultra AC5 space in the right torso.

No adjustments to armor. As long as you aren't getting backshot you can take face hits relatively well, though you do not want to tank. This will shred armor/internals very fast with focused fire. Always have SHUTDOWN OVERRIDE active.

A real pain in the *** trying to fit enough heat sinks and weapons and ammo in the Sovereign because it's so starved for slots.

Change the ultra ac 10 for regular ac 10. projectiles go the same speed as the c-uac5 and it basically eliminates the heat issues.

Why is it referred to as a mini-battlepass?

[Lucky Noob]

i just hope i can reslot the 2 JJ, i love how the mech works with 4 JJ and dont wanna loose that Mobility.

It's getting 15% JJ time quirk for the CT I think, plus with skills add another 15% and you're not looking at too bad a loss.
I do however agree it would be nice to have the option of tossing more in.

[w0qj]

+1
That's exactly what I'm thinking too!

a) Total 2xJJ (one in each omni leg--> 1x free critical slot in each leg for ammo, micro-MASC equipment, etc.)

To MWO: Above opens up another avenue for MC-bought Hero parts, similar to Dire Wolf UV ballistic arms!

b ) CT quirk of up to +40% JJ burntime (including full JJ burntime skill nodes) to make up for 4xJJ --> 2xJJ
