Greetings MechWarriors,



You may have noticed in this most recent patch that a heat penalty from weapon modules appears removed from the descriptions of those modules.

The removal of this text was caused by database error as a result of work being done towards the August 26th patch.



We’ve discussed the concern and Alex has asked me to share what is to come for the modules:

For those curious, first, we intend to introduce additional levels to the Weapon Range modules, giving each a total of 5 ranks. This shall be introduced for the August 26th patch.



In the meantime though, all you need to know is that heat penalties will continue to occur with weapon range modules until August 26th, when they will be removed. For now, you can still see the effect of these penalties reflected in the Heat Management bar of your Mechlab.



Second, we are beginning to look into a new series of modules which will affect the cooldown on weapons. These modules are currently estimated to arrive in-game for early to mid-September and will be the next in a variety of other modules systems we are currently investigating.



We apologize for any confusion on this matter and thank you for raising your concerns on this matter to us. See you on the Battlefield!
