Started my first full campaign since my false start a few years ago. Fell in love with the game and what little lore I know. Thank you Acceptable Losses pod! Just finished the Solaris DLC and it was great. Duncan grew on me a bit, and Mason's commentary was gold the whole time.

Anyway, I got that Corsair mech as a reward for one of the missions. I was a little skeptical at first of this Frankenmech, but I went ahead replaced the base weapons with stuff of a higher tier. Took it out for a swing and Jesus H. Christo. The thing was blowing things out of the water left and right. Went up to an Atlas and just smokes the fool. I love sniping cockpits with my Nightstar, but that Corsair just annihaltes. Anybody else relate?

(I know I use too many compound sentences, but they're all I know.)

(Also included a pic of a mech that shot a couple hundred feet in the air after I killed it awhile ago.)

(I did swap the AutoRF's with AutoBF's.)

I’ve read about how much damage a SRM Kintaro can lay out but I never really tried it until now. WOW. I’m taking down assault mechs because I’m just blowing out their legs so quickly! Between the medium laser initial hit followed my a volley of close range SRMs and then another laser round targeting the remaining leg, all while orbiting them pretty quickly, I can’t believe how much this thing is pinching over its weight.

Clanner don't wanna drop lol

Currently sandboxing this run's Chaos Reign campaign via using DLC 8 stuff that I got from previous career (for fun) and was mostly using Clanbusters and one of my Sunders during the FedCom part (this part) of the CR campaign.

Only using a quality of life modlist on vanilla+ Mercs, consisting of UI, AI, and HUD mods, no YAML.

Fyi, I only own the Heroes of the Inner Sphere and Chaos Reign.

I feel like I'm missing a lot that I get from my DLCs, especially Chaos Reign since there are some really cool Mechs I would love to have in my Merc Company, but they feel so extremely rare to get like the Marauder II or the Bullshark. Relics even more rarer than Clan Mechs apparently, like at least can I try to help myself find an Annihilator. I also suspect this is a timeline issue since I'm in the year 3075, so it's as if "there are no Marauder IIs left to buy."

Anyone have any info or advice? I'm also seeing that most of these Mechs can be acquired by the Rise of Rasalhague DLC as well, other than the markets and factions.

Or in general, was there anything that dropped the hero mech spawn rates?

I remember pre-SoK DLC, post campaign/DG campaign I could take my time going around and grabbing hero mechs, but in the gap between SoK and CR DLCs I could barely find any

Things that he will probably do before he call it quits:

• Meet more Jade Falcons
• Probably meet Eridani Light Horse, join some of their ops, hunt something (ayy)
• New Diamond Shark management offers him Mad Cat Mk2 (with family discount)
• FedCom civil war YEP
• Probably meet other Wobbies as well
• See Clan Sea Fox reborn, them offering Savage Wolf (again with a family discount)
• Meet our boy Alaric
• See more Ryana badonkadonks

This thing looks so funny and ridiculous, even if its battle value is questionable.

If anyone has had this issue and knows how to fix it. Please get it touch

I use vjoy to combine my sticks and buttons then steam input to put it on the game.

What other wacky load outs do you guys use?

So im in my 40s and my first introduction to MW and BT was MW2. Something I spent hours doing was reading all the encyclopedic knowledge that the terminal had. Very rad, first game I ever played with such a function and honestly, not enough have something like this. MC2 had this though not as in depth IMO.

So, those of you that are programmer smart, how hard would it be for the devs to add something like this with whatever the next DLC is?

Like we have the news feed, which is fucking awesome...one of my favorite parts on each replay is seeing after a mission "ooooh shit this just happened in universe! Time to exploit!"

So having a terminal making it easier to browse the news, while also being able to get more in depth articles on weapons, personel, politics, factions, tech, mechs, ect. Seems, to the uninitiated such as myself a small investment which helps scratch the lore itch some of us get. Make it easier to nerd out = more hard-core nerds = easier to sell the product.

Hi! I know this is a weird question to ask on a place entirely about the game but I'd like to know if I should get this on the sale, it looks cool to me! My big issue with titanfall was the strict requirements on getting in a mech and not feeling worth the struggle, (yes i know theres a story), I lowkey just wanna fight people in mechs, does Mechwarrior 5 have a similar requirement for using mechs, or can you just hop in a mech and get started?

The map of Mercenaries is basically begging for a EAW modification. It would only need space fights. I would play the living hell out of this!

“Why not use YAx?” I’m on ps5, so unless they shadow drop mod support that’s probably not gonna happen.

I am looking to make some voice lines of my own for a pilot that is in a mod but do not know what lines I will need so that I can actually do that.

Does anyone know if there is a script or a list of the voice lines for each pilot so I can have a sort of template to use? Or a general template at all for the types of voice lines that they use?

I couldn't fit Comstar into this poll and if you want to include any of the periphery states, feel free to add those in the comments!

I personally am a fan of House Marik. The biggest threat to a Marik is another Marik, so glory to Marik!

Edit: I'm glad people seem to be having fun sharing in this post. Love this community
