I got no money from Tagging and NARCing enemies in the last two fights I was in, I don't think that is working at all. I did get Kill Assists despite having no weapons that could do any damage (TAG/NARC only).

PGI has indicated that you are getting the benefits of the TAG/NARC bonuses, but it isn't displaying in-game at this point. To test, make a note of your current cbills. Then, play a game where you expect to get a NARC/TAG bonus, and note your total cbills won. Add your beginning cbills to the total cbills won, and see if they match. If they don't match, then you're getting the cbill/xp awards.

lol sorry but after looking at my videos and comparing both there is no bonus. Both as in matchs this week vs matches in the past 10 mins.

the NARC/TAG c-bill bonus is mystical money intended to distract you from the ECM issue.

Tested NARC in a few battles, definite hits with the icon appearing on enemy mech. Friendly mechs firing missiles at target during NARC activation period. I'm not seeing any bonuses at the end of the match.

I'll try recording C-Bills before and after as suggested next time.

check for yourself, I did you get the same c-bills as before today's patch.

[Artificer]

Confirmed, C-Bills before + stated mission rewards = new total.

There's no bonus from NARC. Removing that from mech...

Tag seemed to be working for me - was getting 2x spots per mech.

[squidvt]

Tag was working to me tonight. I was getting a spotting bonus for each shot on the target when I was tagging something.

[Valrock]

Out of curiosity, when this bonus is working how much is the bonus per mech?

thanks

[Bad Andy]

nico are you talking about spotting assists or it's supposed to be listed as another type of bonus?

[Windsaw]

Remember:
The spotting assists dependent on LRM fire were in there already.
NARC/TAG should be an additional bonus.
Meaning in all indirect-fire situations you would usually get both boni, when the LRM-boat has direct line-of-sight you would only get the TAG/NARC bonus.

I just did 4 rounds to test the bonus with tag... so here are my results:

1. round: +1 c-bills / +9 xp
2. round: +0 c-bills / +6 xp
3. round: +0 c-bills / +7 xp
4. round: +0 c-bills / +6 xp

yeah thx... really great!
That's all we need to use that tag and narc crap! XD

Well... and testing this isn't easy as long as there are so few lrm users because of ecm

Known Issue: Xp Rewards For Narc And Tag

[ohtochooseaname]

I get a spotting bonus for using TAG on an enemy while he is taking direct fire. I get this once per enemy mech, totaling 200 xp and 20000 cb increase per match. I thought this was the bonus referred to in the patch notes?

[BLUPRNT]

Getting the same rewards as prepatch. Did the poll.
