Hey,
I am sure many of you dont know about this so for those who dont know it yet ->

If you dont re-arm your mech before combat you ALWAYS get 75% of your ammunition for free for the match.

Meaning if you have lots of ammo slots you can simply turn auto re-arm off and only auto repair, that way you u dont need to pay for your ammunition and have full armor.

Keep in mind though that ur on 75% of ur ammunition, not 100%. But you dont pay anything for it.

I think this might be helpful for those who are running alot of projectile based weapons


Haven fun saving ur cbills.

He I heard there is another way - by hand to repair, then the cost of repair will be zero

[SerpentrasD]

I rep and ream my mechs all the time but you must always pay, sometimes you don't but this is just a game bug. Ok so next time I dont ream my mech

Hey Serpent,

if you dont have to pay sometimes the mechlab automatically takes ammunition from your inventory if you bought some before for another mech and didnt put it in... I had the same so basically you use your ammunition you already bought, it's not a bug :>

[SerpentrasD]

Aha, sometimes you dont must pay for damage armor, I guess for armor it is the same. The game put your armor who you don't need from the mechlab?!

I think so, I checked it several times and it was like that for me.

For example i buy a mech and put armor out and then if the mech gets damaged It automatically takes the armor from the mechlab before it buys new armor after i click on repair.

But don´t forget to rearm your ams-ammo - the ammo won´t be expensive but it´s sometimes lifesaving

If you have one ton of ams-ammo you have to pay 500 c-bills, they are worth it!

Just open Loadout and go to the ams-ammo and click rearm at the right bottom corner....

[SerpentrasD]

Ah I am to lazy with that and my actual aws-9m had 4 tons on ams anyway

SHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This might not be intentional, and they might "fix" it.

Granted, the speed at which they're fixing glitches is somewhere between that of an atlas and an awesome

Defending a base

In Canada

In January

That nobody wants

Because it has been abandoned

But still. . . SHHHHHHHHHHH

[Max Immelmann]

is it possible to select which weapons you want to rearm to 100% and which ones you will leave at 75%?

[EternalCore]

Don't feel like paying for ammo for a while? Then run a laser boat for a while with no missiles or ballistics and or AMS!

Yeah I did that for a while very powerful but with this u dont have to reduce ur fitting that extremely, plus and ac20 into the enemys face is always worth it ^^

[SerpentrasD]

You have to click on the ammo packs you want to rearm one by one.

[Gramrock]

LOL made few million in 2 hours now.... Why oh why didnt I know this earlier :\

[dxwarlock]

Thats what I do..I allocate room to be able to carry 120% of the ammo I think I will need..(if I want 4 AC ammo, I fit my mech with 5)
so when the 75% free rearm kicks in..I have about 100% of what I originally decided was enough
Im more than happy to give up a ton, and a slot..for "100%" reload for free...or thats how I see it.
When they are putting my mech together they go "hey if you loose a ton, and a slot..you get free ammo refilled to your max 4, for life"
