Hello all,

So, I’ve reached 400 loot bags and have yet to choose my free mechs. I have a pretty good idea about which light/medium/Legend mechs I’ll pick up, but I’m a bit stuck when it comes to the assault-class heroes.
I own pretty much all the hero mechs already so I would be choosing a duplicate. I’m leaning towards an Atlas, specifically the Warlord or Boar’s Head.

I’d be interested is knowing what other players have chosen, in all weight classes, and which Atlas Hero is you favourite and/or most effective.

Now I fully realize that any choice will depend on one’s individual preferences, but I’m still curious about what the community likes to play when it comes to those free mechs.

Thank you in advance!

Good hunting,
CFC Conky

I did the Spectre, Argent, and Gauszilla. (used mc to get the Apache). Spectre is the hardest to use, but all of these are fun. As far as I know the Warlord is the best Atlas brawler available. It's strong but being a brawler you have to be careful what you commit to. Boar's head is kinda niche with arm mounted lasers. But I don't use my atlases that often.

The Gauszilla is a lot of fun, very strong. Not quite as weak to the anni's speed because of your range. You may also consider which warhorn/bolton you like the most, for your legend choice.

it took me 48 drops to level up the free Banshee SR I got
that was a big mistake

I picked a Apache for the hvy free mech, another bad choice

I am working on leveling this Behemoth its so so, I can't recommend it

The most effective Hero Atlas is the Warlord. Hands-down. The ability to mount ballistics in each torso, combined with the head and ct energy mounts, makes for a reasonably fast zombie build that's Brutally Efficient. If you already have a Warlord, but not a Stone Crusher or Gauszilla, you should pick one of those instead. The Stone Crusher is potentially the fastest variant of its chassis, and the ability to mount Clantech on an Annihilator makes the Gauszilla an excellent platform.

The rewards I grabbed were the Arrow (Blackjack,) Esprit de Corps (Ebon Jaguar,) War Emu (Stalker,) and the Sovereign Legendary pack. The first two were solid offerings in their weight classes that I didn't already have, the War Emu looks fun, and the Sovereign is an unholy dakka-monster. In all cases, I got a variant or pod set that allowed dramatically different builds from what I had available on similar chassis.

So, I've had the events done for a while now and I didn't even know we got free mechs until I saw this thread. Apparently I didn't read the fine print of the event. I just though you did the thing got the cockpit stuff and that was that. So thanks for that.

I ended up taking the ugly as hell but neat idea of the shield centurion - onyx and much better looking Black Knight - Red Reaper, then for the assaults; I did the Behemoth and Gausszilla pack. Though a part of me reaaaaallly wanted to not do the centurion and pick the ubrie-k9 police squad. I think I picked up enough MC form the 400 loot bags to get it though if I wanted to do that route.

As far as the atlas, I only have the AS7-RS, I don't even see that mech available to get from the store, I can't even remember how I got it.

Edit:
I basically picked up ones to mechs that looked cool that I didn't have, except the centurion which I was curious to see how the shields work out.
