Attention, mech pilots! For a limited time, you can test drive the Bruiser or the Brawler for free. Try before you buy. Best of all, any levels these mechs gain during the test drive will be saved, even if you don’t unlock them until later!

You've heard the buzz saw of the Point-D Vulcan coming up behind you and felt the hail of bullets tearing through your mech. Now here's your chance to try it out on the Bruiser, the only mech equipped with a Point-D Vulcan at first level. Add in Hellfire Missiles for long-range punishment and Damage Absorb for extra defense, and you get a versatile medium mech that can engage targets at long or short range.

The Brawler is what being a heavy mech is all about. Enough armor to take a hit (or ten), a damage-repairing turret mode, and short-range firepower that allows you to look into your enemy's eyes before you rip apart their mech. This heavy mech comes standard with the Flak Cannon and TOW Rocket, and you can unlock the SA Hawkins fully-automatic rifle at fourth level to give you a longer-range option.

Head to your garage to test drive these mechs right now until March 19!

Take advantage of these two mechs if you haven't - Bruiser and Brawler are probably the best close- to mid-range mechs in their respective classes!

Aside from Scout, the above 2 are my favorite B-Class & C-Class mechs to use. Well worth checking out people.

If I don't see teams that are majority-Brawler I will be extremely upset with this community.

My bad then, could have sworn the SA Hawkings came first. I really need to take my Brawler out of the Garage more.

Get your hard on.

Oh snap, I've been thinking about a Brawler for my c-class! Thank you Devs, now I can compare with the Rocketeer!

I love my brawler. By far my favourite mech. I must say though it took me a while to get used to it and learn it's ins and outs. I hated it for the first few levels. Then slowly but surely it grew on me. Then a short while after that I was picking flak scouts out my teeth and dancing around the other mechs like a fat stripper.

Just how steep is the learning curve_ I've had some time in the seat now, I'm interested but not hooked. I'm torn between the brawler and the rocketeer. Brawler seems like an awesome ride, but the Rocketeer lends itself to support play (from what I understand about it) which is what I'm used to from rolling a Bruiser most of the time.
