Most of them – like Snub-PPC and LB-X Autocannons – are taking the shotgun approach to existing guns. So the Mechs in BattleTech: Heavy Metal DLC might be hit and miss, but the guns and components that you get in the mix are more interesting, especially if you’re into making light Mechs feeling more obsolete than they are already. It’s slow and badly armored, and 4 AC/10s (with a module that helps compensate for recoil) can be scary, but not too scary. On the other hand, “fire support Assault Mech” is an oxymoron that describes how impractical Annihilator is. Its unique module, which helps missiles cluster (read: hit the same mech body part), has an effect that’s obvious both visually and in practice.
While “fire support heavy Mech” almost feels like an oxymoron, 40 LRM hits can cover many a sin. I would single out the Archer as one of the Very Useful Mechs. The Flea: fast, light, dead! Not all Mechs are built the same They might have new modules that give them fancy Mech powers, but nothing can change the fact that you’re bringing a light Mech against opponents who don’t care about their own survival and can strip your armor and health down in a single salvo. Although it’s painfully obvious that if you’re already hitting three-to-four-skull missions, the light and medium Mechs are useless trash. The new robots run the gamut from the diminutive Flea and the Rifleman to Harebrained Scheme’s own Bull Shark. (The Bull Shark comes via the Flashpoint campaign, so hope your luck holds.) Otherwise, you’ll just leave some of the Mechs on the table – even if you can find them in the stores or loot them in missions. However, starting a new campaign is probably the best way to experience the content of BattleTech: Heavy Metal DLC. If the heavies are in that roster, this might send your campaign sideways immediately. You can get a random one (and some choice bits of equipment) by accepting a prompt at the start of a new campaign career. Trusty Davion’s lightly pre-loved Mechsįirst of all, you have a healthy crop of eight new Mechs entering the game. So the Unseen are back in a big way, which is good for a lot of reasons not least of which is that they constitute most of the Inner Sphere's good heavy brawlers.The Rifleman is demonstrating its famed durability. A couple of years ago the Mechwarrior Online developer, Piranha Games, chose to fight HG's latest round of infringement allegations in court rather than roll over yet again and secured a reasonably strong judgement in their favor-and that of other associated IP holders like Catalyst and Harebrained.

Turlin: sweet I was wondering why most of the original mechs were missing, I thought it might be a copyright thing, would be good to have stingers and wasps for early game, and Id love to see the Crusader at some stage, but those leg SRMs might be a hassle to program :) It absolutely was a copyright thing.most of the mechs in question are known as Unseen because they were casualties of a protracted legal dispute between the various Battletech license holders and an anime import company called Harmony Gold that dates back to the mid 1990s.
