UPDATE<\/p>\n
Greetings MechWarriors<\/p>\n
Get ready, this is your patch update in 3…2…1!<\/p>\n
Oh the burning! The JagerMech Hero “Firebrand” is here – the 30% C-bill boost is HOT! The custom paint job is HOT! The Hard-point layout is HOT (be careful or your build will run hot too)! I am going to buy one right now because it’s time to master my JagerMechs!<\/p>\n
I have a new favourite camo pattern and it is called Sherman! It makes your Mech look like a WWII tank and you already own the perfect olive drab Green colour to go with it! So go get some Sherman Camo and storm the beaches of Forest Colony!<\/p>\n
Ever wonder how your aim stayed perfectly stable while jump jets exerted enough force to lift all that tonnage off the ground? So did we! We had your mechanic take a look at things and turns out your Gyro was broken…. so we fixed it! You’re Welcome. Here is a pro tip – Fire after you let go of your Jump jet thrust.<\/p>\n
We also have also completed host state rewind for missiles (Programmer talk for awesome missile network code) and some great improvements in this patch for the lance communication and coordination.<\/p>\n
Patch up, get ready to drop, and we will see you on the Battlefield!<\/p>\n
