Hi there,
Im new to hawken so pls dont blame if Im asking a dumb question.
I enjoyed playing with Reaper so i bought him. Now i lost all the items i had, when i was playing without having paid. That makes no sense to me. Now i got a weaker Reaper and i paid for it...
How can I succeed in battle with such a weak mech_ I mean I spent all my points on buying this mech..
Thx for your replies

Likely you were playing the "Test Drive" version which comes with internals and items. You'll need to rack up some more hc to fill out your item and internal slots. Once you have have the HC I recommend buying the internals first because they are cheaper and will help you gain HC faster in the long run.  

Some advice for new reapers... Keep moving your feet, don't stop! Both your weapons are hitscan so you don't have to worry about leading your target.

Here are some great guides to help you along your way...

Don't worry too much about not having items and internals. They don't matter nearly as much as your raw ability to pilot the mech. I'd advise you to forget about them for the time being and then purchase them once you're more comfortable with how the mech plays. You shouldn't rely on them anyway.

Pretty much what the first two guys said. Don't worry too much about items and internals. Every time I got a new mech, I learned how to play it without any extras, and that helped me learn the mech much better without having to depend on items and internals to save my robutt.

Also, if you're new, feel free to click on the link in my signature. It's a guide I've put up with lots of videos that were made to introduce new guys to all the mechs and concepts in the game. I'm still working on it and adding more, but you should find it helpful.
