heavy metal crate starting career mode

[Carog the Fat]

So what did you get? would like to see if it is standard or random.
I got
Vulcan mech, snub nose pppc and a lbx 2

[kensw]

I got Phoenix Hawk and 2 Snub PPC'c

From what I have heard it is always 1 of the new Med mechs and a couple of new weapons

[Befitzero]

I got a Phoenix Hawk and LBX 10 and LBX 20 plus the ammo for both. First thing I did was slap the LBX 10 on my Cent to replace the AC 10 it came with. That thing can pretty much one shot light mechs but I have to cycle it off and on because chain firing it kills accuracy fast.

Snub ppc, phoenix hawk, and a uac5 for me.

Assassin-21, TAG, Coil-S

When you start career mode w/Heavy Metal, you get one of the new mechs in your starting mechs?

I just started a new career and it was the same old blackjack/panther/urban/etc.

[Geredis]

Got the Assassin, a Coil-L, and and a UAC-2.

[aldinash]

I got an Assassin and 2 Coil-M.

[Zuul]

Vulcan, Coil-L, and a UAC/5.

As an aside....while the Vulcan is supposed to be a support weapon mech, being a 6/9 mover I reliably make that Coil-L do 140 damage a shot with it. Kind of insane at game start. Most of the light mechs just vanish.

When you pass a day, Yang shows up and says "Hey, some new gear 'fell off a truck.' Want some?" And you can either choose to accept the crate of goodies (a new Mech, and a couple pieces of gear) or just continue on with your regular Career.

I got Phoenix Hawk, Snub PPC and Infernos.

This is why they give you the option to decline the box. You could get lucky and have a totally unbalanced game start.

I hadn't got it, but I was on story mode

Just a quick question do i need to start a new career or campaign to be able to access the heavy metal content or will this unlock automatically when a few days pass in game?

This question ^ and also, if I start a new career, when does one receive the crate? Thanks in advance.
