Attention, mech pilots! For a limited time, you can test drive the Scout, Predator and Vanguard mechs for free. Try before you buy! All 3 mechs are come fully equipped with items and internals.



Head to your garage to test drive these mechs right now until May 20!

You guys should fix the information about the 10 pucks for the EOC P.  It's now only 8, remember_

Anddddd fix the info about the Vanguard turret mode.

Somehow.

Actually, these do matter.  What if your "fun" comes from pwnzoring other mechs into oblivion_ Mechs with reduced DPS potential make that process all the more difficult.

...isn't that the only thing there is to do in the game_

[EaglesFan363]

Can someone tell me why it says I can purchase the Predator "as configured" for free, yet the button for that does absolutely nothing_ Someone please help, cause I'm fed up with endlessly clicking that button.

[6ixxer]

I'm fairly sure they did those all within the last month or two.

Why do we have to have updates every week_ If it's not Steam wanting to update it's the game! I don't get time to play often but it seems that everytime I have a spare hour I have to wait half an hour for seemingly irrelevant updates before I can play.

[Lightangel112]

Oh, I'll go see what the Dev's think is an optimal build for Pred lol.

[Odinous]

I am curious too about devs set up on predator,Lightangel if you can post here what they are using.

Just go to the ingame "market", select the "deals" page and click on the Predator to see what items and internals were chosen.

[Ashcan]

I love these test drives. I had no idea how much fun a Predator could be.

[Lightangel112]

Ok Odinous, I can do that for you. Ok I looked at it and not that great of a build lol.

Items: ISM MK2 and Radar Scrambler MK2 both pathetic compared to EMP and Scanner which trumps both.
Internals: advanced reconstructor, failsafe and shock coil again, not the best internals either. I give it 4/10 imo.

[Erebus77]

Sadly, these 3 are the ones I already have... no test drive for me this week...

How about the Rocketeer, Inflitrator, Bruiser and SharpShooter__ I'm dying to buy one of those, but haven't played them to see if they fit my playstile...

And... since they're not exactly cheap either... well... I'm waiting!

For a sneaky Pred the Scrambler and Shock Coils and Reconstructor can be really useful, but since you play what I would call "Professional Yolodriving" I can see why you find these items not very useful.

There is nothing a sneaky Predator can or will do against a scanner. I used to rock Scrambler, until I realized how futile it was against scanner (very op). If a scrambler is active and someone uses a Scanner to counter it, it should give a more general indication and not an exact location of you. Shock coil is also very situational, and Reconstructor isn't that useful in actual combat. I rated the Dev build 4/10 not the best but still something to get you going at the end of the day.
