WTF? Who was in charge of looking up the Widowmaker record sheet? Widowmaker did not have missiles, and mounted a UAC/20, not a UAC/10. As a result, the lasers were either in the other torso (per the verbal description) or in the CT and Head (per the actual record sheet).

I appreciate the effort, but let's not sully Natasha Kerensky's good name with a 'mech that's not actually hers.

From Tiy0s: "We know this isn’t the configuration of the Widowmaker everyone might recognize. The original Widowmaker loadout is something that can already be achieved with the Dire Wolf omnipod sets in MWO and I wanted to do more than just add an iconic camo spec. So we chose to instead use the “Widowmaker LRM” configuration that she used in her later Trial of Position in 3051."

Do they all come together or is it possible to just get the SHD?

Nope, not paying money for clan mechs. Ever. Wake me up when you have one that's just Inner Sphere.

Go to the patch notes thread and look at the convo that starts here where someone else raises the "canon" build point. The canon is undefined other than in that person's mind from a personal conversation he supposedly had with writers 18 years ago. In other words head canon and not official. Regardless, the interpretation is sound and even acknowledged by Sarna.

Also on a very basic level, since you apparently didn't read it, this is not the later stages Widowmaker build, it's the Trial of Position build.

So, there's no "sullying" of Natasha's mech since 1) you've no data to say otherwise and 2) the patch is in 2 hours as of this post.

I want the skin of the Widowmaker to use on the other Dire Wolves. Any chance that can happen?

can you please please pleeeaaaaasee add the mounted XP boosts to this? they're so useful and i don't even have an IS one.

I bought the pack based on the way its presented in the store, but didn't get a mounted one.

Levelling up some mechs are a pain, and having the xp boost does make me more inclined to buy these kinds of packs.
please please

I have never seen an XP boosting item in loot bags. its always the same stuff. i've only ever seen them as an added item for early orders. And the way the site presents it, it looked like we were gettin an IS standing one.

Guess you've missed out on the Platinum Packs when they came out, which had both XP bonus hanging/standing cockpit items and CBills bonus hanging/standing cockpit items. (I got every single Platinum Pack for the XP Bonus cockpit items).

For XP bonus hanging/standing cockpit items, right now the Icons (Booster) Pack is the cheapest way to get this! i.e.
~Icons Pack: 3x pairs of Clan bonus hanging/standing cockpit items, and 1x pair of IS bonus hanging/standing cockpit items.
~Evolution Mech Packs buy both full packs: 1x pair of IS bonus hanging/standing cockpit items.
~Civil War Mech Packs buy both full IS packs: 1x pair of IS bonus hanging/standing cockpit items.
~Civil War Escalation Mech Packs buy both IS full packs: 1x pair of IS bonus hanging/standing cockpit items.

So this Icons (Booster) Pack is significantly cheaper for the XP Bonus cockpit items!

(I myself is gonna get some of these too!)
