Greetings MechWarriors,

Greetings MechWarriors,

The August Patch is here with the New Vulcan Mech! This is a 40 IS Ton Mech with a unique look and interesting loadout possibilities.

We have 8 more mechs that received 3060 era weapon retrofits, 6 new bolt-ons, and support for more bolt-ons on various mechs.

Trial mechs have been updated as well as a bunch of Tuning and Value changes and some bug fixes and improvements for this patch.

See you on the Battlefield,

The MechWarrior Online Team.

Greetings MechWarriors,

Welcome the Hellfire ‘Mech to MechWarrior Online. This Clan 60 ton ‘Mech was originally the testbed for Clan Heavy Lasers and the tests went well ;) Those who pre-order the Hellfire will have their new ‘Mech waiting for them when they patch up and login. A Hellfire ‘Mech Challenge will start July 18th and end July 31st.

Join us as we start a new Season of Solaris 7 with all divisions getting a leaderboard reset, new Supply Caches, and a new Solaris Challenge event.
Look for your Solaris 7 Season 1 Leaderboard prizes releasing in this patch.

We have added a really cool feature as part of the Build Sharing tools from the last patch. You can now customize any ‘Mech and drop in the testing grounds to test your changes, even before you own the ‘Mech! This new feature takes the guesswork out of loadout changes and ‘Mech purchases.

More 'Mechs have Bolton Support as well as several new Bolt-ons to equip. Check out the bolt-ons for your favorite ‘Mechs in the Mechlab.

Greetings MechWarriors,

Much news has appeared in the last couple weeks with MWO! This includes the newly launched MechCon 2018 Page with already-sold-out VIP tickets and 61 Collector tickets remaining, a whole new set of rules for the upcoming MWO World Championships 2018, the Roadmap to give you a snapshot of what's coming in the next 2 months, big events and sales currently in progress, a community-voted poll on 8v8 in Quick Play, and an informative post from Lead Designer Paul about future tuning and development for weapon balance along with a community feedback thread from Balance Designer Chris!

We've got an exciting long awaited feature to share with you as well as the release of a long-awaited 'Mech! Lots of improvements to a couple of features, value changes, and many bug fixes, which you can enjoy reading about in details below.

Greetings MechWarriors!


The Blood Asp is here and it's already causing a stir! With a Solaris 7 Division 1 placement and some last minute manufacturing tweaks (shoulder cannon size correction), players will see the Blood Asp roll out in style. Look for a Quickplay 'Mech Challenge for Blood Asp owners starting on May 17th.

The Solaris City map is here! Teased at Mech-Con the look of the map is unlike anything currently in rotation. I don't know about you, but I'm betting this Vegas looking map is going to popular! Remember: What happens in Solaris City...does not stay in Solaris City.

We also have New Bolt-ons, and more 'Mechs supporting Bolt-ons(The Ghillie Bolt-ons are one of my favorite new items in our game)! All this with tons of tuning changes and a handful of bug fixes round out the patch! Read on for all the details!


See you on the Battlefield,
