Greetings MechWarriors!
The September Patch is here! This month we have the newest rebalanced map, Caustic Valley Reborn. Also included in this patch are more Weapon Adjustments, some 'Mech Adjustments, and a rather significant Quirk Pass.
Look for our fifth major map update with Viridian Bog and more coming in October!
As with everything, these updates are subject to further balance changes in the future, especially as more variables are brought into the equation with future updates and changes.
So get out there and do the science, and get us your feedback for future iterations!
And now, we hope you enjoy the patch.

CAUSTIC VALLEY REBORN
Caustic Valley is the latest map to be reworked by Francois with feedback from the Caldron! Check out these moody screens and Let us know what you think of the map when it launches next week!
HPG MANIFOLD REBORN
Added bridges, fixed gaps, and other minor fixes.
WEAPONS ADJUSTMENTS
As a continuation of our assessment of weapon performance since April, the following change has been made:
Clan Large pulse laser:
- Increased heat penalty multiplier to 6.25 (from 4)
In this patch Clan Large pulse lasers have been adjusted to further limit the ability of firing 4xC-LPLs, and to make firing 3xLPLs less frequent. Note that this change only affects the incurred penalty and does not change how the weapon works when no heat penalty is being applied.
Gauss Rifle:
- Increased minimum heat penalty limit to 7 (from 4)
Clan Gauss Rifle:
- Increased minimum heat penalty limit to 7 (from 3)
In the current heat scale system, Gauss rifles and various types of PPCs share the same penalty category. As our quirk passes continue, utilization of Heat Scale limit boosters for various types of PPCs are utilized on a number of mechs. However, such HSL quirks do not apply to Gauss rifles resulting in unintentional heat penalties when firing some PPC and Gauss combinations. This is due to the low heat penalty limit stats for Gauss rifles which are not affected by the PPC HSL quirks.
To be able to control the number of PPC and Gauss weapons that are allowed to be used with no penalty, in this patch heat penalty limits for Gauss rifles are increased considerably. Despite the high limit, this does not affect the normal operation of Gauss and PPC combos, since Gauss rifles have a charge limit of 2 which acts as a hard limit on how many Gauss rifles can be used in an Alpha and all types of PPC weapons have minimum heat penalty limits equal to 3 and above.
As an example, This change will allow a mech with a PPC HSL +1 quirk to fire 3xPPCs+1xGauss rifle or 2xHPPCs+1xGauss without any penalty.
It is worth noting that this change will not affect how everything works right now. You will be penalized if you fire a combo of three ERPPC and Gauss together.
The change affects mechs that have ERPPC HSL +2 (currently only MAD-6S and TDR-9S) to allow it to fire 3 ERPPCs and Gauss with no penalty. The value of 7 is chosen as a limit we will never reach, effectively removing gauss as a limiting factor in how many weapons can alpha in a group. leaving it all to PPC family weapons. Remember that you can not fire more than 2 Gauss rifles at the same time due to charge limit.
This change is a foundation for potential future quirks.
Rocket Launcher 10:
- Added exponential damage fall off under 50 meters instead of minimum range
- Reduced range to 500m (from 540)
Rocket Launcher 15:
- Added exponential damage fall off under 50 meters instead of minimum range
- Increased range to 500m (from 450)
Rocket Launcher 20:
- Added exponential damage fall off under 50 meters instead of minimum range
- Increased range to 500m (from 360)
In this patch, in order to make Rocket launchers more appealing to a wider number of mechs including heavy and assault mechs, Rocket launchers are tuned to have damage fall off under 50 meters instead of a hard cut off min range. The fall off curve has been set to exponential to cut the damage output with a steeper slope, in order to balance its performance when firing in point blank range. Moreover, to promote synergy between different sizes of Rocket launchers, range has been normalized at 500m across all three launchers.
Clan LRM 5/10/15/20:
- Increased per-missile health values to 1.35/1.2/1.0/0.9 (from 1.2/1.1/0.9/0.8) for C-LRM 20/15/10/5
This patch includes a slight boost to missile health stats in Clan LRM launchers. This is to improve their performance and consistency, specifically for smaller launchers. C-LRM salvos would be able to push up to 1 to 2 more missiles per salvo past the AMS protective bubble (depending on the size of the launcher and or active AMS systems around).
MECH DEFAULT LOADOUT ADJUSTMENTS
This patch includes adjustments to maximum engine limits on a number of underperforming mechs, as an attempt to maintain balance between variants of the same chassis and/or same weight class and roles.

Patch Files (Direct Download)
To make the patching process easier for players with limited download caps, we'll be providing direct download links for the patch file(s) that comprise this patch. This will allow you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, for manual injection into the MWO patcher through a Patch Cache folder.
Aside from allowing you to download the patch file(s) elsewhere, on another connection, there are no additional benefits to performing the patch this way; the patching process itself will be the same.
This direct patch download process will only work for players running the standalone client. It does not apply to players running MWO through Steam.
Patch File(s): - http://patcher.mwomercs.com/patch/Production/frontend/FrontendPatch_392.zip
• Download the above file(s)
• For sake of ease, we recommend creating a dedicated folder for the patch file(s), such as 'MWO Patch Cache'
• You do not need to unzip or unpack the patch file(s)
• Launch the MWO Portal
• Select the three horizontal lines in the top left of the Portal Window
• Choose the 'Specify Patch File Cache' option
• In the field that appears, paste or enter the location in which you saved the patch file(s) and hit OK
• For example, C:\Users\<username>\Documents\MWO Patch Cache
• Click the blue Patch button
• The launcher will now check the Patch Cache folder you defined. If it locates the required patch files, it will unpack and use those files to apply the patch.
• Once the patch is complete, launch the game
