Canyon Network<\/h4>\n
Canyon Networks is the latest map to enter the MechWarrior Online universe.\u00c2\u00a0 Deep ravines and long sheltered paths are ideal for speedy scouts, but beware – there could be an ambush waiting around every blind corner.\u00c2\u00a0 The high crags in the center of the map (conquest point Theta) form a highly defensible natural fortress.\u00c2\u00a0 Long sightlines and ample hiding spots make the canyon tops a sniper’s playground – use caution if you stray up top, and be ready to dive for cover.<\/p>\n

Players can now equip and launch a new battlefield consumable \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the UAV drone.\u00c2\u00a0 This automated unmanned vehicle will launch 150m into the air, and keep station for up to 60 seconds before self-destructing.\u00c2\u00a0 The UAV can burn through ECM, providing targets for allied team members.\u00c2\u00a0 UAVs are vulnerable to weapon fire.<\/p>\n

Bug Fixes<\/h4>\n
