BATTLETECH - Shadow Hawk Pack is now available DRM-free.

The Shadow Hawk Pack includes an alternate skin for the formidable Shadow Hawk 'Mech, a multi-role BattleMech developed in the Golden Age.

Now the game can taken of second class citizen thread, good for parity with steam.

I remember that this skin required to be always online to use it, now the DRM has been removed?
Yeah, fuck no.

I am sincerly hoping this is a one-time thing. I am fine with paying for expansions and substantial dlc. However, I am really hoping BATTLETECH doesn't go down the road of monetization with multiple skin releases. I have to point out nearly 5$(CAD) is pretty steep for a single skin for a single mech.

To be clear I love the game and have tons of fun playing it. I just hate seeing games ruined by releasing a million overpriced skins.

Does this DLC give you the Shadow Hawk skins in a single player game? Or is this just giving people access to those really dumb multi-player skins? Either day, it seems kine a rather dumb cash grab designed to try and line Paradox Interactive's pockets just a little more.

It probably is. As far as I remember, this skin was pre order bonus, so it is probably released now so people who didn't want to pre order can get it.
A single skin for a unit in an TBS? oO

That some kind of superunit? Kind of like the Doomstar in Master of Orion 4?

No, it's a cosmetic skin for an already existing mech in the game that previously was Backer/Pre Order exclusive and no super units it's a medium mech.

Thx. :)

Well... if I had BT I guess what Mr.Mumbles wrote would also mirror my feelings on that DLC.
Haha, oh, Paradox, reinventing Horse Armor DLC as always. Thank you for providing yet more comic relief with useless DLC, further cementing your reputation as useless DLC pusher. Perhaps you will sell your next game game one atom at a time.
Ah, this is the infamous missing skin.
Pity that we, backers, didn´t get it here for free. I have never redeemed the one needed with Paradox account.

Don't give them any ideas, they may seriously consider that. :D
So this is just a skin? Wasn't this one of the backer rewards that requires me to be logged in to a PDX account?
