Both in terms of dialogues that explore political intricacies of the lore (sometimes introducing interesting characters), and challenges that often have far more nuance than ordinary tasks. However, the missions themselves are well written. Which looks especially funny when our mercenary squad arrives in the nick of time, regardless of how many days left. The time limit for those “flashpoints” (those that have one) look quite arbitrary. And the very first large DLC added “flashpoints”… which are not exactly what I had in mind. Even if description told about overwhelming assault or any other urging matters – you could wait any amount of time in orbit before taking the job. One of the things that I felt to be unnatural in the base game was that contracts never expire. Each adding not only new mechs and equipment but also various missions and even mini-campaigns. Three DLCs: Flashpoint, Urban Warfare, and Heavy Metal. Well, now for the BattleTech Season Pass you know. With Season Passes there is additional distrust, as you don’t even know what exactly is going to be included. Sometimes the question arises if it was even necessary to cut some things due to lack of time for polish or everything was made purely to sell some things twice. Though not without reasons – too many publishers abuse DLCs, asking too much money for too little experience. As such, make sure to not put your back to the enemy if you can help it.These days players too often treat additional downloadable content with suspicion. Rear armor on all mechs is MUCH less than front armor. Note you can use flamers (sadly quite short-range and limited ammo) to add to your enemy’s heat and potentially shut down their mechs. You can choose to disable weapons which will cause too much heat (or to preserve ammo) by clicking on the circles by each. If your heat is going to get too high, you’ll have minor internal damage and potentially shut down until the mech has a chance to cool. When you are aiming at an enemy, those weapons which can fire will contribute a specific amount of heat and this is shown via a horizontal bar on the left side of the screen. Note that missiles fly in a cluster launch 20 with a 70% chance to hit, and you’ll likely have 14 land somewhere on your target.Īll weapons generate some heat. When targeting an enemy, you’ll see the percent chance each weapon has to hit. That’s a warning DO NOT GO THERE, as any mech is instantly lost if it shares the space when whatever arrives… If you see a red hex on the map, something is going to land there, soon. center torso destroyed (note: this is the most common yet leaves less salvage than the other two).Mechs are “dead” when one of the following occurs: It damages your own legs, but the chances of hitting the head are much better than standard shots, and the amount of damage can be quite significant. This maneuver requires a mech with jump jets to physically attack the enemy by landing on them. This is where “death from above” comes in handy. If you destroy the head, the mech is disabled but otherwise perfectly intact and ripe for salvage. If you hit the head, the pilot is injured. Subsequent hits from that side which would have hit the arm will hit that side’s torso, which often has ammo (this goes boom on a critical hit after the base armor is gone and can wipe out the mech) and heat sinks.
