Patch Date and Time - October 21st, 2025 @ 10AM - 1PM PACIFIC

Greetings MechWarriors!

 This month’s update includes the release of the Icons Booster pack, 'mech adjustments, quirk adjustments, and more!

As always, a 2 week in-game Patch Science Sale will go live shortly after the patch and include all applicable items for testing.

'Mechs in-game and new 'mechs releasing are subject to future balance changes and tuning, so get out there and do the science so we can hear your feedback!

Loyalty Mechs:

The 2025 Annual Rewards Program has been announced! We are hard at work to get the mechs in a state where we can show a preview. In the meantime, players can check their eligibility HERE!

Icons Booster Pack:

Throughout the Clans and the Inner Sphere, there have been mech pilots who have made their prowess known to the world. Whether they have had entire books written for them or just a footnote in a TRO, many of them had their own custom mech variants made. This will be the first of two packs, with the second ones release date TBD. While all of these mechs do have hero names, they will come out for C-Bills after release like other Booster Packs.

Timber Wolf Bounty Hunter 2 TBR-BH2(S)

Shadow Hawk Sandy SHD-5DS(S)

Hellbringer Haight HBR-AH(S)

Dire Wolf Widowmaker DWF-WM(S)

Note from Tiyos: We know this isn’t the configuration of the Widowmaker everyone might recognize. The original Widowmaker loadout is something that can already be achieved with the Dire Wolf omnipod sets in MWO and I wanted to do more than just add an iconic camo spec. So we chose to instead use the “Widowmaker LRM” configuration that she used in her later Trial of Position in 3051.
