MechWarrior Online adds an Icons 2 Booster Pack and tweaks missiles in Feb. 17 patch

Piranha Games has pushed a new MechWarrior Online update on February 17, 2026, mixing a paid bundle with balance changes and fixes. The headline item on the store side is the Icons 2 Booster Pack, while the gameplay side focuses on missile handling, a few specific weapon adjustments, and a batch of quirk updates. MechWarrior Online originally released back in 2013 and despite its age is still around and gets updated from time to time. It averages a little over 300 concurrent players on Steam.

According to the official patch notes, the Icons 2 Booster Pack includes four unique ‘Mechs: an Atlas, a Battlemaster, an Awesome, and an Ebon Jaguar. It also comes with the usual extras you’d expect from these packs, like hangars and currency.

For everyone else, the patch makes several missile types turn faster, which should affect how reliably they track targets in motion. There are also targeted changes for Arrow IV and rocket launchers, plus bug fixes.

The notes also include a long list of ‘Mech quirk updates, which can be easy to miss but tend to matter a lot for specific chassis and builds. If you’re running anything niche or you’ve got a setup that’s been feeling slightly off, it’s worth skimming the full list.
