Just announced at MechCon

The Heroes won't drop until March 2018 but both are apparently unique with different hardpoints to the existing heroes for both chassis.

Definitely worth being slaughtered in a single match for.

Haven't played since before the skill tree. I almost started playing again a couple of months ago but decided I didn't want to take the time to learn it. Might reconsider just for free stuff.

Roughneck sounds beefier than the Clan Mech...Roughneck hero version is a close quarters brawler.

I reinstalled for this, but... no time to play anything... let alone get-in a MWO drop.

Shame really, as most of the ADVENT events take maybe 1 or 2 drops to achieve

Took me a bit to figure out the new skill trees and all the new forms of XP, but once I did I had some pretty great drops. Lots of good comms. and people playing smartly. I'm still bothered by the lack of diversity in mech population, but... it's always been this way. Still, it was good to be back.

I'm going to have to assume that the Marauder IIC is presently well-regarded, as every man and his dog is running one during this challenge

Twin ERPPC (in the arms! Not torsos) + TC Summoner w/max movement tree and full Wolf's Dragoons paint/decals!
My primary ride. Yes, it's odd, but suits me... which, I guess is telling. 

Hammerhands... ur... Warhammer 6R twin AC10s + quad MLs and Wolf's Dragoons paint/decals.

MAD IIC 7 MPLs + TC or 3 ERPPCs in Low Vis Camo.
Guilty as charged Deadborder... ;)

No, entirely fair. I've been running my Blammerauder with two UAC/5s and 4 MLs. Some days the UACs aren't the first thing to be shot off

Being on a War Thunder kick right now, I completed just the one match to get the heroes using a stock Nova Prime.  That thing just wrecks face like on tabletop >:D

And all of a sudden with no practice at all, I appear to be some sort of flaming death demon in a Crab.
