Attention, mech pilots! Two new mechs are available for you to test drive.

Posted Image Posted Image


The Berserker is a high-speed light mech equipped with a Submachine Cannon and TOW Rocket Launcher. Its Ballistic Barrage ability increases the damage output of its weapons over a short period of time.

The Brawler is a close-range heavy mech equipped with a Flak Cannon and TOW Rocket Launcher. Its Fortified Turret ability grants increased defense when active and gradually repairs the mech over time.

You can test drive these mechs right now until January 16!

I've never test-driven a freebie mech.  What happens when the trial period is over?

It stays in your garage but you can't use it anymore. You'll have the ability to unlock it so that you can carry on using it permanently and equip it with items, same price as in the Mech shop.

And most importantly any XP gained while on trial carries over once you purchase.

  I wish it wouldn't stay in my garage as I can see a lot of idle mechs cluttering the place after awhile.  When the trial ends, it should leave your garage.

would be nice to sell parts off mechs, and sell mechs to get meteor credits to buy mechs we want to keep.......  and a way to earn meteor credits without paying cash, like viewing video commercials or something,,,,

Yes. You keep all the XP you gained when you unlock it later.

I am sure they leave the garage, but you have the XP you have earned if you unlock it later on.

So, unless we get a new mech, the next 2 Test Drives will be the Bruiser and the regular Assault?

I may or may not have gotten help/stolen from Juodvarnis. It is Reisen from the Bad Apple PV.

The Trial mechs dont leave your garage. They sit there while you cant use them until you purchase them.

Interesting. Have you already bought a Berserker?
