Note if you haven't run many flashpoints there may well be spoilers in here, turn back now.

So last night I ran the flashpoint that has you assassinating the Solaris mechwarrior Iron Claw (I think that's his name). The reward for this is a rare mech.

I completed the 3 missions including the 1v1 (a refreshing change) at the end even though he cheated.

The reward was Iron Claws special Crab, sporting (I think) 1AC5, 2Flamers and 2 ML. (special indeed)

I received the mech at the end of flashpoint wrap up screen. I didn't have room in my mech bays so I put it into storage.

Now this is where the bug happens.

I clear out a mech bay, go to storage find old Iron Claw the mech, click on it to ready it up and it disappears. No longer in storage, not in a mechbay, just poof, gone.

Now I get this is a HBS special build, but could it really cause the database to malfunction? Are we not supposed to have access to these specials (there are others in different flashpoints too)?


Also anybody know where I can find Guass ammo, I got a GR+ from a flash point but without ammo it's largely a boat anchor. Note I am playing after the Restoration Campaign. I could steal ammo from my story Highlander but 8 rounds is a bit light on ammo. In 4 plays through the game I have never seen guass ammo unless I cheated it in through modding the shop files.

Please report as a bug, and if you have a save that is applicable (say after it's sent to storage, before finished being ready maybe? or just the post mission one if there is one), attach that to report as well.

Keep in mind that the shop inventory system was completely re-written for the 1.3 update. So prior playthroughs may or may not be relevant to current availability.

As far as I know, nobody has published a list of where high-value items like Gauss ammo can be found with the new shops.

Is it a bug though? I cant reproduce as it is an ironman play ad flash points don't repeat as far as I know. I would have thought this would need one or more sightings before requiring a proper report.

Guess I'll just keep looking for now. Thanks
