FLASHPOINT REWARDS

Gear:

  • The reward pool contains only +++ and ++ items now;
  • To compensate, the amount of additional items reward cacheswill contain was decreased from 5 to 3;
  • Smaller weapons, such as SRM2, LRM5, AC2, LBX2, UAC2and support weapons are considered to be a "common" reward;
  • Medium-sized weapons, such as MLs, SRM4, LRM10, AC5,LBX5, and UAC5 are considered to be an "uncommon" reward;
  • Heavy weapons such as LLs, SRM6, LRM15/20, AC10/20,LBX10/20, UAC10/20, as well as Infernos, PPCs, Snubs, NARCs, TAGs are considered to be a "rare" reward;
  • Upgrades are spread across the reward pool according totheir gameplay value;
  • For example, you are more likely to get a Hit  defense Gyro or a Comm system as a"rare" reward, and a Leg actuator as a "common" reward;

‘Mechs:
  • With the exception of Raven, Hatchetman, Bullshark, CataphractCTF-0X and SLDF ‘mech variants, all ‘mechs are now included in the reward pool;
  • Reward categories were completely redone;
  • For example, Cicadas can appear only as an additional rewardnow;

HM CAMPAIGN

  • The final mission of the Heavy Metal campaign will nowhave a unique reward;
  • This includes:
a random SLDF medium ‘mech;
a part of a random assault or heavy SLDF ‘mech;
five random Star League era items;
  • The amount of salvage you get from missions without employer has been quadrupled (needs testing);

STAR LEAGUE ITEMS

  • Flashpointsthat offer Star League era items as a reward will yield Double heat sinks slightly more often, with a small chance to reward two Double heat sinks;
  • Just like with other weapons, only ++ variants are includedin the reward pool;
  • There is now a slight chance of getting a whole‘mech instead of a single part;
  • Reward caches that "contain at least one Star Leagueera item" now can actually yield more than one Star League era item;
  • 1.9 SLDF ‘mech variants were added to the reward pool;
  • In order tocompensate the overall increase in the SLDF ‘mechs appearance frequency (both due to 1.9 patch and Flashpoints’ rewards upgrade), the chance of SLDF ‘mech to appear in the Black Market shpos was effectively halved; 
  • Additionally, only one SLDF ‘mech (or part) can appear inthe Black market at the time;
  • SLDF ‘mechs (or parts) now have a chance to appear inthe shops on the planets with Star League presence; 
  • Double heat sinks can now appear in Blackmarket shops and in the advanced shops on the planets with Star League presence;
  • Hell of a Deal event reward pool has been adjusted to include only SLDF ‘mech parts and SLDF 'mechs;
  • Additionally, the reward will also include one rare or Star League Era item;
