NEW LEGENDARY BATTLEMECHS

PLEASE NOTE: REDEEM BATTLEPASS REWARDS ON THE WEBSITE STORE PAGE (UPDATED EVERY HOUR)

NEW COMPLETE BATTLEPASS PROGRESS LINK: https://mwomercs.com/legends

The new Legendary 'Mechs this month are the STONE RHINO (IS TECH) 'BEHEMOTH' and the CATAPULT 'FERROBLAST' (see images below). The packs will sell for $15 USD on the website and will also be available on Steam. Each Legendary 'Mech is a new variant of an existing chassis, has a custom paint job, and a 30% C-Bill boost. Also included with each pack is the new mini battle pass system driven by 'Mech XP. Just by playing the 'Mech, you will earn GSP, C-Bills, MC, Premium Time, and exclusive Cockpit Items, Decals, Colors, and Bolt-Ons! However, unlike a typical battle pass system, there will be no expiration date to earn these extra items. Take as long as you need!

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_433.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
• Once the patch is complete, launch the game

NEW LEGENDARY BATTLEMECHS


The new Legendary 'Mechs this month are the STONE RHINO (IS TECH) 'BEHEMOTH' and the CATAPULT 'FERROBLAST' (see images below).

Maybe I have missed them, but what are those 'Mechs quirks? Also, what is the max engine cap of both 'Mechs?

[Peter Prickler]

Tha catapult has max engine, i think
But why is the BEHEMOTH called BHN-6H?

Peter Prickler, on 14 June 2024 - 02:21 AM, said:

Because this is a variant that uses Inner Sphere technology.

it's Amaris' folly.

[Tenshi 0]

Not too fond of the catapult

[Oberst Jaime Wolf]

No it is not Amaris Folly it is the stone rhino the Wolf dragoons braught with them to the IS and it was reequiped with is tech. You can find it as custom stone rhino variant at sarna.net

[Martaloc]

Cant you patch the Stone Rhino SR-7guys?
Still missing the AMS hardpoint from his right torso from the first day apperance.
Or that would be more cool when you give both torso AMS hardpoints.
I would use them in these thunderbolt rainy days.

What are the quirks for these 2x Legendary Mechs?

Very curious

https://www.sarna.ne...tar_(BattleMech)

It's not a Matar

• BHN-6H Behemoth Assigned to Gordon Zed of the Zalman Bloodname, even downgraded with primitive Succession Wars era technology his Behemoth was a powerful 'Mech that caused mass panic and confusion whenever it took to the field with Wolf's Dragoons Alpha Regiment during the Third Succession War. Zed's Behemoth swapped the large pulse lasers for PPCs, the small pulse laser for standard model and the twin Gauss rifles for Autocannon/10s with four tons of reloads, the extra weight for this loadout and the heat sinks to make it viable is made possible by a reduction to 200-rated standard engine, greatly reducing its ground speed. Like many Dragoons, Zed and his Behemoth would fall during the brutal Battle of Misery, and though the Draconis Combine might have salvaged the 'Mech, they were never able to repair or reproduce it.^{[17][6] [18]}

The quirks for the legendaries seem to be missing. I'm going to try to get those added, but in the meantime here they are.

No, you are wrong.

The Behemoth is a different 'Mech.

The Technical Readout really uses this exact designation.

And repeating that does what?

sad to see no Locust IIC

Manboobs-sama, on 14 June 2024 - 07:55 AM, said:

I don't think 10% Heat is enough to make the Behemoth worth while. It's just a lesser Stone Rhino that can't bear nearly as much weaponry as its clan counterpart since IS **** is both bigger and heavier.

Clan one only gets -5% on the 1,3,4,7 you get 2 times that for your heavier ****. and you get one

Adding new legends is always cool but Add mew mechs!

It also has -10% Incoming Crit Chance which is actually pretty good. Stack that with skills and you can get it up to 42% reduction in incoming crit chance. Which might make an IS XL viable on this thing.

While I'm happy to see this thing in the game finally I'm a bit wary about actually getting it since it really doesn't seem like a viable built out of the box which is something I've liked about the Legendaries I've purchase so far. I don't necessarily need to spend a few million C-Bills to get them in a workable state.

It seems that you "forgot" to mention a few things:

IS BHN-6H Behemoth / Stone Rhino - only one firepower quirk

• HEAT-5%

Clan Stone Rhino SR-1 - three firepower quirks

• HEAT-5%
  
• BALLISTIC VELOCITY+15%
  
• GAUSS RIFLE COOLDOWN-15%

Clan Stone Rhino SR-3 - four firepower quirks

• HEAT-5%
  
• ATM VELOCITY+20%
  
• MISSILE HSL+1
  
• MISSILE RANGE+10%

Clan Stone Rhino SR-4 - three firepower quirks; note that the combined result is -12,5% heat for ballistic weapons

• HEAT-5%
  
• WEAPON VELOCITY+15%
  
• BALLISTIC HEAT-7.5%

Clan Stone Rhino SR-7 - five firepower quirks

• COOLDOWN-7.5%
  
• HEAT-5%
  
• RANGE+5%
  
• ER PPC VELOCITY+15%
  
• LASER DURATION-7.5%

On top of that, Clan DHS are smaller than IS DHS. Thus, it is usually easier boost Clan cooling with them.
