I asked to pay for these and was denied! Well! I'LL TAKE THAT FOR A DOLLAR!


Even made a nice pic which they took inspiration from.

These 6x Special Variant mechs are the closest we can get to the Phoenix Mechs (same mech shapes, different camo).
Valued at $80 if you had to buy these a few years ago.

Thank you MWO!

Over $100 adjusted for inflation! But keep in mind it was for the full suite of other variants (Non P)

Remember the GRF and WVR were an expansion. $80 was the first four, Overlord level. I don’t remember what the expansion cost. Maybe $50? But of course both came with regular mechs and…man. Not a lot of swag, IIRC

I went all-in on Project Phoenix when it came out. Still love the 'mechs now, and the changes to the game (mostly new weapons and equipment) have kept them relevant. I'm happy to see others get them now. I'll have these along with my (P) 'mechs

Yeah, me too. Very few of the Phoenix mechs were that great when they landed, but they've almost all had some moment where they were amazing. I've always been glad to have them, this is great for newer players.

Remember, these were around for a while, you had to buy them individually in seperate christmas bundle packs to get them. I was gonna buy them if they came out again, but now I don't need to!

HOLY MERRY CHRISTMAS BATMAN!!!

Wow, this is....crazy good

[Pz_DC]

Thanks for the event. But, please, can You do something with mech naming? Becouse I can't even give those free mechs names like "date-of-earning" - there is not enoth symbols and names are too short to looks like "10.10.2025"... All I can is "03-20 05-21" if mehcs are diven twice (like BLR-1G).

Will there be a post regarding the loadout of these mechs? I'm pleased that there is a Griffin and Wolverine I don't have yet, but curious as to the loadouts for each. I sold all but one of my Phoenix package Locusts way back when, only kept the 1V. Didn't think I'd drive them and there isn't much that can be done with the 1V. I'll have to revisit that when these are available. Thanks as always for the free mechs!

I will have lots of free time during that timespan, I should be able to get them on all of alt my accounts yes, I had extra accounts that I started for a nephew, a few are still Tier 5 (almost no games played but collected Christmas awards and other types of awards), unfortunately he passed away before we could talk about them.

Ah, cool. Thank you.

Don't throw mud on me, please, but I must ask:
Could I sell these?
I already has 130 mechs but use about 24-32 since those are either in my drop decks or lurmers kept just for the lootbag events... So far I may keep the Locust and the Battlemaster when the time arrives...

You can sell these , but why would you do this? These all hero mechs with +30% credit income, just sell the normal ones when you realy dont want them and enjoy the not so long journey to reskill these to 91 points.

It's a yes or no question, and it's probably a no because these are (S), just like how last year's Santa Warhammer and MASC Commandos weren't.

[All Your Bases]

PGI team - thank you so much. I know we are down on player counts, but you guys still keep giving us stuff. We really do appreciate the fact that you are still supporting MWO it's not lost on us! I tell my family members (who play MWO) how unique it is to be given so much free stuff just for playing the game, thanks as always! Many Holiday blessings to all of you and your families/friends.

Now this is not play 6 matches and get 6 mechs. You have to play like 21 games to get all the mechs right?
i mean i'm going to play them anyway. Just wondering. The phoenix pak was the first mech pak i bought a long time ago. I didn't tell my wife how much it cost. i kept all those mechs in their original camo. i don't care if i have duplicates. i already have almost 600 mechs and 2.6 billion C-Bills.

I think you are reading the event description wrong. It takes at least 6 matches to be eligible for all 6 rewards. All you need to do is achieve 100 matchscore in each match. The first match that meets that goal will get you the Locust, but this match also counts towards the other five mechs.
