PATCH #35
Upcoming Patch - Friday, November 28th
Patch Number: 1.3.352
Greetings MechWarriors!
We are only 2 weeks away from the last patch of 2014 and the team is crushing it like a King Crab claw!
Today’s patch features cool new content and a couple tweaks to hold you over while we get the next patch ready for you!
Clan Invasion Wave II Loki and Man-O-War Collection purchasers and Hellbringer a la carte owners will receive their 3 Hellbringer chassis in this patch.
This Heavy chassis is sure to intimidate and eviscerate your enemies. If you want one you can still buy a package this morning, and with the hourly injections it should be in your ‘Mech Bay ready to enjoy by the time you get home.
A new Champion is joining the ranks of the Inner Sphere ‘Mechs! The Raven RVN-3L(C) has a custom loadout that takes advantage of the ‘Mech’s quirks, along with the standard 30% XP boost to accelerate leveling the mech.
We’ve also rolled out a couple tweaks to Viridian Bog and a radius change for BAP, so continue reading for all the details.
See you on the Battlefield,
The MechWarrior Team
