How to get your very own Sarge

Getting your hands on this unique ground mount is simple. . . and fun! Complete the Mercenary Prologue and start a new Bounty.

Master Mercenaries
Before a Mercenaries run begins, you will be prompted to assemble a team of mercenaries from your collection. Your mercenaries will grow stronger as they gain experience and collect loot from battles. As you play, you can upgrade their abilities to unlock their true potential!

Mercenaries features a fast-paced combat system that rewards cunning and anticipation. Before each fight, players will select mercenaries from their team to participate in battle. Each turn, they’ll pick their team’s actions simultaneously with their opponents and watch the results of the fight play out.

Players will face a new selection of randomly generated encounters every time they start a Mercenaries run, earning in-game achievements and rewards to bolster their team as they battle their way to the final boss. And in PvP mode, players will be able to pit their mercenary teams against other players!

    I have tried hearthstone dozens of times and never got into it, this new mode looks very interesting compared to normal gameplay.

    Owning a cool mount was a thing in TBC when there were 5 mount skins available.

    We are past the point it's ridiculous.

    First thing I noticed. Another damn mount that doesn't fly. This is something that wow just lags behind on for some misplaced reason. I mean ffxiv manages to do this without any problems, so what's blizzards excuse? World building or immersion or some other nonsense? Those arguments went right out the window when everyone was handed there own Ashbringer.

    Tutorial is bugged out on me so I am softlocked and looking at support, others have the same issue. Just wanted to say that this is the first time since like WoD I have ever been in a situation in a Blizzard game where I am unable to play a release while the servers are fine (in WoD entering the garrison phase).

    Despite reports of lockups, I didn't have any issues getting the mount. But I did it right when the severs went up, who knows.
    Didn't know the mount itself wasn't a flying one, though.

    What bugged out for you? I received my mount after starting the barrens tutorial mission on the mission board at camp.

    Well basically I created the upgrading area in my city and the tutorial wanted me to upgrade Tyrande but it bugged out and restarting it the tutorial don't know how to guide me and the tabs don't work so I can't get to Tyrande, only the red units.

    If I was playing WoW I’d play Mercs just for the mount, but since I quit for lack of content I’ll stick to Battlegrounds, because they’re more enjoyable and there’s not a massive paywall.

    No thanks don't even what install that Blizzard ATM game... Not even if they gave 100 mounts or Bobby's yard...

    Mount is sweet. Tutorial only takes like 10 minutes or so.

    As for the game mode, it just so basic, slow and boring.
    And to be perfectly honest, I can't fathom why they would hype up such a bland, bare bone game mode.
    On top of all that, it seems like it's a pretty horrendous grind to F2P.

    I'm sticking to Battlegrounds.
