New Grav Bikes Available
By TrailTurtle @ January 10, 2013 at 10:27am

We're proud to announce the new Grav Bike Arsenal is now live, including three brand-new Grav Bike vehicles! These fast-flying bikes pack a punch with their default weapons, and they can be customized with vehicle MODs and powers.
The Grav Bike Arsenal lockbox is what you’ve been waiting for. It includes three new grav bikes: the Hawk, the Copperhead and the Raptor. Unlock the Arsenal with a Cosmic Key from the C-Store, just 100 ZEN, and you've got a shot at vehicle MODs, boosts, and the vehicles themselves.
In addition to whichever snazzy prize you win, unlocking an Arsenal also grants 2+ Drifter Salvage. Exchange this currency with the Drifter for hover tanks and Hawkwing jets, legacy items, and more.
As with other lockboxes, you'll be able to get the Grav Bike Arsenal by defeating enemies. These are an additional drop, they do not replace or decrease the chance for any other rewards to drop.

Grav bikes aren’t just dangerous, they’re stylish enough that your character will be fully visible riding it. The Hawk is the top prize in the Grav Bike Arsenal lockbox, and it’s the most powerful of these three grav bikes. The Hawk includes a total of eight MOD slots for customization.
This is currently the only way to get upgraded Mark 2 Decoy Drones, so if you need a power to taunt enemies, get your gloves on the Hawk!
4 Weapons MOD slots; comes with Decoy Drones Mk 2 and Gravity Pulse Mk 1.
2 Defensive MOD slots.
2 Support MOD slots.

The Copperhead
The Copperhead and Raptor are ready to strike with a total of four MOD slots. These vehicles have the same base stats and loadout, but have different models
2 Weapons MOD slots; comes with Micromunitions Mk. 1.
1 Defensive MOD slot.
1 Support MOD slot.

The Raptor
Grav Bike Arsenal Lockbox prize table:
- 40x two different Vehicle MODs (Rank 1) + one resource/XP/skill boost
- 50x one Vehicle MOD (Rank 2) + one resource/XP/skill boost
- 25x one Vehicle MOD (Rank 3) + one resource/XP/skill boost
- 10x one Vehicle MOD (Rank 4) + one resource/XP/skill boost

- Grav Bike Raptor + Vehicle MODs (10x Rank 4 or 5x Rank 5)
- Grav Bike Hawk + 5x one Vehicle MOD (Rank 5)
Grav Bike Arsenals can be unlocked with Cosmic Keys of Power, available in the C-Store for 100 ZEN or ten for 900 ZEN – all future lockboxes will also be unlockable with Cosmic Keys. The grav bike line will be supported with additional releases throughout this mega-event.
These prizes are available in the Grav Bike Arsenal lockbox starting now, plus you’ll be able to get free costume pieces this weekend. Careful, Champions – the invasion’s already begun…

Cryptic, It's your super hero. Me and many other super heroes are dissapointed by rewards for capturing crime elements. I know, saving people is more important than thinking about house decoration and other luxury items. But Super heroes can't save your banks, offices and many other your important structures. I'm talking not about premium items. I'm about general items. And bring back gear crafting. Mods are good, but there's a few places to place them in.

why a real superhero needs something like a flying bike?And why you need to pay for almost everything? is this EA?
gruff2 @ Mar 8th, 2013 6:07AM
I also cannot stand these lockboxes and I trash them. FIX what is bugged first, and LISTEN to your player base. For goodness sake you are making your customers angry, and upset.
brognor1936 @ Feb 16th, 2013 8:07PM
When you get some regular bikes in the game I'll get back :P
therokito @ Jan 29th, 2013 4:08PM
I have always wondered how to get a grav bike. Sadly, I figured out you had to buy it from the C-Store. I don't have enough zen. I need more. Please help. Look for SwordSpree756 to help.
thunderer87 @ Jan 29th, 2013 12:05PM
So we got Jets, Hover Tanks and Grav Bikes now. I think it's time for some ground vehicles, like weapon-
notabricklayer @ Jan 22nd, 2013 2:42PM
Wow...come back after not playing for a month and find what? MORE useless lockbox BS. I've been in this game since Beta. Usually things get better, not worse. Oops.

It is pretty terrible. I wish they just stuck with paying for character customization, not all of this nonsense.
crimefighter17 @ Jan 22nd, 2013 10:21AM
leave it in the c-store.if you want to .... up the drop rate of better items please dont pretend its for somthing cool nobody and i mean nobody want dropboxes
lunaw78 @ Jan 21st, 2013 4:49AM
I don`t understand your dissapointment guys! You complain about not getting any bikes! So I suppose your memory is wiped out because same thing happened to the ships! The exact same thing! These lockboxes are only money makers! Wait till these bike lockboxes dissapear and the bixes will show up in the Z-Store!
demoniolobo43 @ Jan 20th, 2013 12:56PM
Yea the whole lockebox deal for these grav bikes is ridiculous and the drop rates on these boxes far exceed the drop chance of aything else. Everytime I see an xclamation point representing a mob or boss drop Im almost afraid to even click on it. I did one side mission and picked 23 grav bike lockboxes in 35min and only got 5 gear and mob drops total. They dont interferr with the drop rate of other items!? I call BS on that. I like the game but these lockbox goodies are gettin damned annoying. Im lookin for gear and costume unlocks, not a stockpile of gravity bike lockboxes and there's better things to spend zen on than keys.

These Gravbikes were talked about for the past two years, they just now released them !?!? WTF are you you people doing this is not how to gain more money from a MMO. In fact CO / STO have become utter jokes of a MMO. These lockboxes DO replace item drops so you need to edit this post of yours. Also when do you plan on actually doing some maintainance on CO. Powers like Teleport and other travel powers based on have not worked right since they were created not to mention the 100's of other glitches that have gone unnoticed and unfixed. It's your JOB to have someone in game running around asking about new glitches and testing these out to make sure the game works and help people that need help from a GM. Congratulations PWE you are the worst company to own a MMO any MMO in fact and please feel free to ignore the numerous customers that are continuously begging for help, giving awesome ideas [[such as actual ground vehicles]], and yet we still play the MMOs you own and not maintain. Cryptic was doing so much better before the PWE came into play.Both STO and CO have such potential but it seems to me like PWE takes care of its' Neverwinter keeps STO and CO up and running but ruins a grand chance to make money by allowing these 2 to just fall apart slowly. The lockboxes in both STO and CO probably are making good money in the short term but as these lockboxes piss off the games population they'll just move on to a different game one that is not owned and maintained by PWE. If you take care of the things you own they in turn will take care of you.By taking of your MMOs they in turn will make more $$$$. These bikes are awesome but if it takes 40 keys forget it just not worth it.
euthymia @ Jan 18th, 2013 10:13PM
As a show of defiance I think we should trash every single lockbox we get. I know for a fact that things like that MUST show up in their stats. When they see a large enough number of those boxes are being trashed, they won't have a choice BUT to take notice!
euthymia @ Jan 18th, 2013 10:06PM
"These are an additional drop, they do not replace or decrease the chance for any other rewards to drop." This line is complete and utter bullshit like everything else Cryptic has ever done. Ever since these lockboxes came into existance I've gotten nothing BUT lockboxes during missions. I did one low level mission and got 12 vehicle lockboxes and not a single drop of anything else. This whole "they don't replace anything" thing is complete BS. Just get it over with and let CO die. It's been a failure pretty much from the start. I think it's time to pull the plug.
teufelhund400 @ Jan 18th, 2013 10:06PM
Give us some of those bikes and choppers from infront of the Cobra's hang out in town. Seriously. And get rid of this lockbox bullcrap it's making me want to leave this game and i ain't even played it more then a month.
chaosmrx @ Jan 18th, 2013 4:11PM
I also hate this lockbox system and thats why I stopped playing both sto and champions, I have been waiting years for a motorcycle travel power, but Im not going to spend hundreds of dollars for a small chance at getting one. Problem is, others will be more than willing to, and as long as they are, they will continue putting new "content" on boxes.
slinkiisu @ Jan 17th, 2013 10:32PM
yeah, forget this. I'm not getting it if there's no c-store variant. WHATS THE POINT OF GETTING A MONTHLY STIPEND OF ZEN IF YOU CANT BUY WHAT YOU WANT?! Your gorram lockboxes ruined my life on STO. I'm not letting anything like that ruin my CO life. *quits*
ponify124 @ Jan 16th, 2013 12:56PM
PUT THESE BIKES IN THE GODAMN C-STORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thatdamnduck @ Jan 16th, 2013 4:05AM
It's like they are TRYING to make us hate CO by how they are running it! Perhaps they hope they can force us to jump ship to a new MMO that is coming soon...Neverwinter lolz.
n0vastarone @ Jan 16th, 2013 12:58AM
look another blunder from the chinese overlords running this game. Not even a cstore variant. Asses
fantasycharacter @ Jan 15th, 2013 6:29PM
Super fail.
weirdohorse @ Jan 14th, 2013 8:35AM
Guys, I'll buy a vehicle when you fix my current travel powers. The Slow Fall from Teleport and similar powers is still dragging me to the ground when I fly forward.
jackniefpw @ Jan 13th, 2013 1:41PM
And I was already so willing to buy it...
drainbamaged1 @ Jan 12th, 2013 9:36PM
This is why I don't play CO anymore. A company that doesn't listen to its customers deserves what it gets for server population...
tfavsb10 @ Jan 12th, 2013 8:49PM
Cryptic, can I at least have dinner first, cuz I like to be winned and dinned before you decide to... Censored
