Mechs

NEW Mech: G2 Assault

This update introduces an alternative approach to mech design. Our goal is to expand on the playstyles of existing mech classes to allow for more variety among them. In order to do this we're introducing Generation 2 (G2) mechs.

G2 mechs are iterations on existing classes. They have the same ability their predecessor, however they have unique weapon loadouts and slightly different statistics. There are also no alternate primary weapons for G2 mechs. The G2 mechs start at max mech rank, so no progression is required.

Another note about the G2 Assault is that in order to purchase one with HAWKEN Credits, a pilot must have an original Assault mech at max mech rank. Alternatively, the G2 Assault can be purchased at any time with Meteor Credits.
