Wasn't Expecting a G2 Raider AT ALL.

Though that is a nice little twist. I'm a bit skeptical on removing the grenadier's turret mode though, That turret was literally the best thing going for it. Now that its replaced with a temporary mode, I have a bad feeling the few I have seen use it will use that mech even less. I barely use it myself.

Im curious to see what becomes of the extra body models in the medium and light classes, I have a good hunch those will also become G2s of some sort. Yet a G2 of the Technician or Infiltrator would be extremely interesting to see. I will have to work my way to that new G2 as I JUST bought the technician. XD

Cant wait to see what else comes out of this game! Keep those new toys coming Devs!

you know... there aren't ANY B-Class mechs with a grenade launcher... =D

  • Grenadier
    • The Grenadier's ability has been reworked. Its Turret Mode functionality has been replaced with an ability called "Artillery Shots". This ability increases the Grenadier's damage and explosive radius for a short duration.
    • Ability Statistics:
      • Duration: 8 seconds
      • Damage Bonus: 10%
      • Damage Radius Bonus: 20%

Fat Infiltrator's going to have it some fun today..! :D

  • Developer's Note: The winds of change have blown through the mech garages over here at Adhesive and many Heavy mech abilities are currently being re-worked.

Can we blow some of those winds over the Infiltrator's fuel-gulping cloak_ Pretty please_ With some kind of cherry on top_ :wub:

Landing from a ledge or from hovering required a brief second for the Mech to recover. This made the movement feel a bit unresponsive and sluggish, so the recovery time was greatly reduced.

Uh, they're giant f***ing mechs. Aren't they supposed to be sluggish_

Maybe have the ability literally insta-lock missiles_ no need to press the button_

Um, you realize the Rocketeer's turret mode already does this, right_ Go turret mode and you don't even have to press the button to lock. It autolocks on a target when you hover the reticle over them.

Honestly, the Rocketeer's turret mode could use what the Raider G2 just got. The Rocketeer DOES NOT handle CQC well at all. It MUST get out of close range at all costs if caught. If you gave it a speed ability to better maintain range . . . whoo. Then it would be a nasty beasty.

"Mech" does not equal "slow". All it means is that they're pilotable.

This.  I have to admit, the game has moved beyond even semi-realistic physics.  The landing delay wasn't really doing anything except creating a forced stop in a game that is all about mobility.

I hate to be negative, but that is hard to read - bordering on painful.

You're messing with the turret mode on heavies_ I love turret mode on heavies (especially on the Brawler and Rocketeer) leave it alone(or may all of you get stuck in The Tunnel).
