Supposedly, it’s got a stealth ability. Doesn’t quite look like a Shadow replacement though.  |

Interesting. Are these DL16s ? Wonder if it's en Epic or Legendary mech.

Are those small wings/turbines behind the elbows? Maybe a replacement for tengu?
I miss playing with that guy...

The teaser vid they released has it going Predator-style invisible. I'm assuming that actually just means radar stealth not actually invisibility. If it is just stealth then I wonder if the "wing" like things on the back are some weapon in a two-part ability kinda way.

Hmm, if it really were Predator-like invisibility, I'm all over this!

OK I think I have figured out the answer to the question that has been bouncing around my brain, "Why the @#!? does it have knives on its back??" To make the silhouette look different enough that you can tell what it is if you're running a debuff mech. Kinda sad the knives won't do anything. Highly impractical but kinda bad@$$ if it could run around stabbing other mechs...

Immune to everything supposedly. Although if that includes slow down and implosion then beam weapons are about to take a hit. Wondering about Guardian 's ability too. |

I think it would be immune to stasis but I'm not sure if implosion is considered a debuff perse. Regardless, unless it's a max 24EN mech, I don't see it ultimately making much difference in this OSK meta since we can still manually aim and shoot at stealth mechs.

Regardless, unless it's a max 24EN mech, I don't see it ultimately making much difference in this OSK meta since we can still manually aim and shoot at stealth mechs. I'm hearing it is immune to both beam weapons but only while the ability is active. No word yet about Guardian's ability. And yeah it's 24EN at max. Speed is 28 mph. |

I watched the developer vlog. It actually does sound like a bot for Shadow enthusiasts.
If I understood correctly the new mech is being called Acklips.

Oh yeah, seems like a couple guys from my clan have already maxed it. Definitely got major meta buzz. I imagine Surge EMRs are about to be replaced with this, even deadlier version.

OK, hearing more about Eclipse from some of the folks who have maxed it. So if you pair it with both gold Ability Duration and Ability Cooldown implants then stealth lasts for 15 seconds and only needs 5 seconds to recharge. So 3/4s of the time you are in constant stealth and immune to all debuffs. This is looking to become the top mech in the game, particularly in human v human play. Renders Javs, RMs, and Helixes worthless. Majorly diminishes beam weapons. Disc Launchers are basically the main counter.
No word still on whether Guardian's ability affects it.

I already faced one at my stupid low level, and it’s absolutely OP. You can’t do anything to it - and it wasn’t even maxed yet. I’d like to meet whoever dreamed that one up so I can beat them senseless.

Eh, the silver lining here is that it makes me feel better about splurging for a 2nd Legendary DL Reload implant, just yesterday 😅 |

Eclipse reminds me of Shadow, which is hard to target but I still kill it most of the time. I think MRs will do a good job on Eclipse as well as DLs. And snipers don't really need a lock on. 😉 |

I think the fact that you can't lock on with DLs makes the DLs a great counter against the Eclipse! Just fire away at the last place you saw it before it went into stealth and thank the enemy that your discs will fly where you aim and not hit the cover in front!

Confirmed! I faced a maxed Eclipse just now. It was in cloak and I hit him with System Crash. The mech came out of cloak with no ammo and the pilot looked at me confused and then I blasted him. Ah, that felt good!

Another one. Looks like a Killy stole a Surge’s head and sat on it.  |

Get your forty dollars/pounds ready and freshly wash your lucky socks for the upcoming crate rush.
Luckily for us players Paylarium announced today they have increased their pay methods around the world including Klarna so no excuse for us not to be running this latest and greatest on release day.

If it's not wielding chaingun 16, that means another sniper or beam weapon is coming too.
They've hit the War Robots epoch, and just keep pushing it. Might be time to just leave them to their real customer base and spend money elsewhere.
