Introduction

Introducing two new Legendary BattleMechs this month, the medium Shadow Hawk "Scattershot" and the assault Marauder IIC "Dreadnought"! These powerful 'Mechs, available for $15 USD on the website and Steam, come with a custom paint job, an "outlier" quirk, and a 30% C-Bill boost. But that's not all! Each pack also includes the new mini battle pass system, where you can earn GSP, C-Bills, MC, Premium Time, and exclusive Cockpit Items, Decals, Colors, and Bolt-Ons just by playing the 'Mech. The best part? There's no expiration date, so you can take your time and earn these extra items at your own pace. First up, the Shadow Hawk "Scattershot" boasts a unique quirk - zero cockpit shake while using Jump Jets! This means you can jump into battle with precision and stability, giving you the upper hand against your opponents. Get ready to dominate the battlefield with these new Legendary BattleMechs and unlock a whole new level of power and customization.
