In addition to adding the Raider to the Mech Shop, the latest HAWKEN update also provides a slew of new ways to customize and personalize all of your mechs, including the much-anticipated mech taunts and holo taunts.

Everyone Gets a Free Mech Taunt

This update has added Mech Taunts to the game, and given every mech class one for free! Each class has a second Mech Taunt available that you can unlock with either HAWKEN Credits (HC) or Meteor Credits (MC). Check out the animations in your Garage!

    [*]NEW Class A Mech Taunts: The Pleasure's All Mine (Free) and Dirty Dog
    [/list]

      [*]NEW Class B Mech Taunts: That Just Happened (Free) and The Rooster
      [/list]

        [*]NEW Class C Mech Taunts: GLHF (Free) and The Shotgun
        [/list]

        Use Holo Taunts to Sweeten a Victory

        We've also added five Holo Taunts that you can freely equip to any mech you own! These taunts use consumable "holo pucks" that can be purchased with either HC or MC. Holo pucks are available to all of your mechs and operate like Countermeasures in that they share a single consumable inventory of uses.

          [*]NEW Holo Taunt: Poor Bearcito
          [/list]

            [*]NEW Holo Taunt: OMG Victory!
            [/list]

              [*]NEW Holo Taunt: Better Cluck Next Time
              [/list]

                [*]NEW Holo Taunt: Lord of the Dash
                [/list]

                  [*]NEW Holo Taunt: NONONO
                  [/list]

                  This IS the Repair Droid You're Looking For

                  For players looking for a distinctive look, this update provides several new options, including a new medium mech chassis that's built for speed, a hot new thruster that will have you flying high, and a sick repair droid that will put you into orbit.

                    [*]NEW Chassis: Muller (Class B)
                    [*]NEW Thruster: JT-HOTSHOT
                    [*]NEW Repair Drone: RD-QU4TERNI0N
                    [/list]

                    Don't Scratch the Paint Job

                    And, speaking of distinctive looks, check out these new Camos. There's one for getting lost in the forest, one for getting lost in your mind, and one for getting lost in a radioactive wasteland. Choose whichever suits you best; we don't judge.

                      [*]NEW Camouflage: WOODLAND-GRN
                      [/list]

                        [*]NEW Camouflage: BRAIN-WAVE
                        [/list]

                          [*]NEW Camouflage: HAZMATZ10
                          [/list]

                          Whether you want to just show off your style or really shove it in your enemy's face, the Raider Update has you covered. Check out all these options in the Garage today!

Holo taunts act as Countermeasures:
Holo pucks are available to all of your mechs and operate like Countermeasures in that they share a single consumable inventory of uses.

Taunts buy for each mech:
Each class has a second Mech Taunt available that you can unlock with either HAWKEN Credits (HC) or Meteor Credits (MC)

Thanks for the free mech taunts!!, the dirty dog one is awesome.

I have an idea that could be used as taunts as well as team motivation:


1.- Tiger/Lion like, head rising, neck straightening and mech-roaring  for the A-Class

like this:

lion roar

2.-Infected leader roaring like in the movie "i am legend" for the B-class


3.- King Kong chest banging head pointing at the sky and mech-roaring for the C-class

like this:

King Kong chest banging and roaring

would be great :D

Now these holopucks are a GOOD HC waste for those with everything.
Much better then silly countermeasures.

I have nothing but praise to throw at the dev team this patch. Really guys.


I also ~Adore~ Dirty Dog. To damn fitting.

I think it is.  It's the first free to play game I've ever put money into.  But it's a free download, you don't have to put any money into the game at all, so why not try it_

Define what you mean by scam.  Buying meteor credits allows you to avoid the grind and look pretty.  The only way it would be a scam, in my view, is if you didn't get as many MC as you thought you were going to get.  If you can be more specific with your question, please make a new topic (after searching the forum for the answer, of course :) ) and ask away. :)

(I don't mean to necro threads, I'm just almost always running behind.  My apologies)

If they were doing that, I'm sure you would see a lot of complaining and investigating.  :)  Meteor and Adhesive are legit, worry not.
