Weapons

Most of the ’Mechs are outfitted with offensive and defensive weapons systems, and many of them feature jump jets.

In the bottom right is the status meter. The blue meter on the left shows how much jump energy you have, the purple one below that is defensive energy, which must be full to use. On the right is a red meter, which must be full to fire your current weapon. In the center it displays the type and number of weapon you have selected. The three thin bars under the weapon icon tell the power of that weapon. One is the weapon you started with, two is after you pick up one salvage of that weapon type, and three bars is when your weapon is the most powerful, after you picked up two salvages.

Offensive Weapons

Energy Weapons

Pulse Laser
The pulse laser is rapid-fire and particularly useful against vehicles. It is possible to fire off a new burst every fraction of a second. Accuracy depends on how well you can track the target.
Laser
This is the standard beam laser. It fires a single long beam of energy with a tracking ability that continues to do damage even if the target moves.
PPC
The Particle Projection Cannon (PPC) is a ball of energy with a trail effect and slight seeking capability. Charge the PPC by pulling and holding the Right trigger until fully charged, and then releasing the trigger to unleash the bolt of energy.

Ballistic Weapons

Machine Gun
The machine gun is your rapid-fire, shortrange weapon of choice for ballistics. It is very accurate at close range. Damage is light to heavy, depending on range. No heat is generated by this weapon.
Autocannon
The autocannon is a high-velocity, direct-fire ballistic weapon. Potential damage impact is moderate to heavy, depending on range. Heat generation is moderate. The rate of fire is fairly slow, and accuracy is moderate.
Gauss Rifle
The Gauss rifle uses a series of magnets to propel a very heavy metal projectile at high velocity over a great distance. Impact is moderate to very heavy. The Gauss rifle has the potential to knock another ’Mech off its feet. The rate of fire is very slow, but it is accurate

to a great distance. It generates very little heat.

Missile Weapons

You achieve target lock by holding the targeting reticle over an enemy for a few seconds. When you see the reticle change to the red crosshairs, you’ve achieved target lock. Target lock is lost if the reticle is moved off the target for more than a few seconds.

Crossbow
Crossbows are short-range missiles that feature heat-seeking but limited turn and splash capability. Note that seeking is only possible once target lock has been achieved.
Hammer
Hammer missiles are medium range, medium speed, and dumb-fire (no seeking capability). They have a heavy impact on the target and a large splash radius. There are never more than two included on a single ’Mech because of ordnance load-out considerations.
Javelin
Javelin missiles are high impact and long range. After launching, they begin to accelerate toward and seek the target if target lock is achieved. There are never more than four included on a ’Mech. Splash damage is moderate.

Defensive And Special Weapons

Jump Jets

With jump jets you can launch your ’Mech into the air as a defensive tactic in order to avoid missiles and other incoming hits on your ’Mech. You can also use jump jets as an offensive tactic to fi re beyond objects that obstruct your view. They’ll also help you move to strategic positions in an environment that you might not have gotten to otherwise. To use jump jets, click and hold the Left thumbstick button for as long as jump jet fuel remains.

Null Signature

Null signature masks you from enemy radar when you click the Right thumbstick button and for as long as you have power remaining. As you build up heat or use your weapons, the ’Mech becomes increasingly visible.

Target Jamming

Target jamming enables you to jam enemy radar within a given range when you click the Right thumbstick button. It also causes enemies to lose target lock-on.

Chaff

Chaff attracts all missiles launched at your ’Mech for a limited period of time. Click the Right thumbstick button to deploy it. Be aware that limited power makes chaff unusable.

Salvage

MechWarrior, in addition to the stock weaponry you’re provided with, you can salvage weapons and armor during missions. Find salvage by destroying certain buildings, enemy vehicles, or even ’Mechs.

Each weapon salvage you perform increases the level for that particular weapon. There are three levels, and with each additional level the weapon’s fi repower increases until the weapons of that particular level are depleted. The basic level 1 weapons always provide unlimited ammunition, but not as much firepower. A selected weapon’s power level is indicated in the HUD’s Weapons Display.

Armor

Armor salvage increases your health in a mission. Each time you salvage armor, a green shield with a white cross appears momentarily on the HUD.

Missiles

Missile salvage increases the number of missiles you fire at one time, shortens the recharge rate, and increases the damage.

Energy

Energy salvage increases the power of your energy weapon, shortens the recharge rate, and increases the impact on the enemy.

Ballistic

Ballistic salvage increases the number of rounds you can fire in a short amount of time and increases the damage inflicted on the enemy.

The 'Mechs

Uller

Class:Light BattleMech
Tonnage:30
Speed:40 mph
Offensive Weapons:Pulse Laser, Crossbow missiles
Defensive/Special:Jump jets, Chaff
Description
The Uller is extremely versatile and touts a potent arsenal of weapons that provide striking power at all ranges. It is fast, very well armored, and makes a great reconnaissance ’Mech.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsTry to keep your distance and use the missiles. Drop Chaffs if they try to launch a counter missile strike.
Medium 'MechsTry to back off and use missiles. If they have a PPC gun then you'll want to run in close and blast them with your pulse lasers.
Heavy 'MechsRun in quickly and blast them with your pulse lasers. If you try to fight a distance fight with missiles, they will knock the snot out of you, as most heavy Mechs have some devastating distance shots.
VariationsWeapons
Kit FoxPulse laser and hammer missiles


Owens

Class:Light BattleMech
Tonnage:35
Speed:45 mph
Offensive Weapons:Machine Gun, Crossbow Missiles
Defensive/Special:Target Jamming
Description
The Owens has become a staple for front-line regiments. It’s lightly armed, but fast, and can carry all Inner Sphere electronic components. It rarely engages an enemy directly but uses its superior electronics and LRMs to provide support for heavier ’Mechs.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsUse the target jamming and run in and blast them with crossbow missiles and machine gun. Fire until you overheat or you jamming wears out.
Medium 'MechsUse the speed of this Mech to dodge any tracking weapons they may have, and try to stay at close range and blast them with your missiles.
Heavy 'MechsUse your speed, you'll need to constantly stay moving or you're screwed. Use the target jamming to hit them with some missiles and avoid theirs. Just try to stay in close and blast them with the machine gun and you should be all right.
VariationsWeapons
HackmanCrossbow Missiles, Gauss Rifle, Null signature


Cougar

Class:Light BattleMech
Tonnage:35
Speed:40 mph
Offensive Weapons:Pulse Laser, Autocannon, Javelin Missiles
Defensive/Special:Jump Jets
Description
Ton for ton, the Cougar is probably the best ’Mech out there. With its low profile and high speed, it’s very hard to hit and has a powerful weapons package for its size.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsThis Mech is clearly the best light Mech in the game, as long as you keep your distance, your javelin missiles should take out any light Mech.
Medium 'MechsUse the speed of this Mech to keep your distance and launch javelin missiles. Try your best to dodge anything with tracking that comes at you with your jump jets.
Heavy 'MechsYou won't win a distance battle against a heavy Mech, unless you are really good at dodging tracker shots. Just run in and blast him with your pulse laser, if you stay close, they'll be forced into using their short-range weapons, which on most heavy Mechs aren't very good.
VariationsWeapons
PumaPPC, Machine Gun, and Crossbow Missiles


Uziel

Class:Medium BattleMech
Tonnage:50
Speed:35 mph
Offensive Weapons:PPC, Machine Gun, Crossbow Missiles
Defensive/Special:Jump Jets, AMS
Description
The Uziel combines maneuverability with fi repower and decent armor; it is a good performer in any role. With its speed and jump jets, it’s ideal for hit-and-hide tactics.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsWhile the PPC is a tracking weapon, you'll have a hard time hitting most fast Mechs with it. Try to use it if he's charging at you in a straight line. Otherwise stick to your crossbow missiles, and if they get really close switch to the machine gun.
Medium 'MechsMost medium Mechs will be easier to hit with the PPC, so try to use that. You'll want to keep moving as you're not constantly firing, giving them the chance to just sit there and shoot things at you.
Heavy 'MechsMost Heavy Mechs are sitting ducks against your PPC, but they have them, and more powerful weapons, so unless you think you can dodge them, your best bet is to run in close with the crossbow missiles and the Machine gun.
VariationsWeapons
BelielPulse Laser, Gauss Rifle, and Crossbow Missiles


Vulture

Class:Medium BattleMech
Tonnage:60
Speed:30 mph
Offensive Weapons:Laser, Machine Gun, Javelin Missiles
Defensive/Special:Chaff
Description
The Vulture is aptly named for its hunched shoulders, protruding head, and bird-like legs. Its lower-torso Omni slot add to its versatility, and its huge twin missile racks can carry more missiles than any other ’Mech. It is very good in a fi re support role.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsUse the javelin missiles from a distance to put small Mechs

to shame. If they get close, use the machine gun on them, or the laser.

Medium 'MechsTry to stay at a distance against Mechs with light weapons and launch the missiles. If they have a PPC gun or two, try to stay close and attack with the laser or machine gun.
Heavy 'MechsKeep close against most assault Mechs. Unless you're up against the atlas, you're not going to want to stay at a distance. Try to hit them as many times as you can, then run off and use missiles when they are over-heated, then as they cool down, run back in with the machine guns.
VariationsWeapons
Mad DogPulse Laser, Autocannon, Crossbow Missiles


Catapult

Class:Medium BattleMech
Tonnage:65
Speed:25 mph
Offensive Weapons:Pulse laser, Javelin missiles
Defensive/Special:Jump jets, Target Jamming
Description
Slow but extremely rugged, the Catapult is best used as a standoff threat where it can use its long-range missile racks. It is designed for second-line defense but with strong offensive capabilities.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsAgainst light Mechs, your going to have to stay far away, as they like to run in and blast you with light weapons. So keep using the jump jets and the Javelin missiles.
Medium 'MechsTry to stay at a distance, some medium Mechs will try to come in like light Mechs, just jump jet back to avoid them. Javelin missiles should be fired at a constant rate.
Heavy 'MechsThis Mech isn't well suited against assault Mechs. Just keep the distance between the Mechs, as the assault Mechs aren't known for their speed. As long as you keep firing your missiles, you may have a chance.
VariationsWeapons
BowmanLaser, Mechine gun, and warhammer missile


Thor

Class:Medium BattleMech
Tonnage:70
Speed:30 mph
Offensive Weapons:Laser, Machine Gun, and Crossbow missiles
Defensive/Special:Jump jets, Target Jamming
Description
The Thor offers mobility and short- to medium-range capability. It successfully blends fi repower and maneuverability, and it can dish out a lot of damage in any terrain.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsUse the crossbow missiles against light Mechs. You can also try to run in and blast them with the laser or machine gun.
Medium 'MechsTry to run in close, most medium Mechs have decent weapons to waste you with from a far, use the machine gun and the laser.
Heavy 'MechsYou have to be good at dodging if you hope to go a round with an assault Mech. Try to run in with your lasers, it's also best to use guerilla tactics with this Mech.
VariationsWeapons
SummonerPulse laser, autocannon, and warhammer missile


Mad Cat

Class:Assault BattleMech
Tonnage:100
Speed:20 mph
Offensive Weapons:PPC, Machine Gun, Javelin Missiles
Defensive/Special:Target Jamming
Description
The Mad Cat was the fi rst to appear in the Inner Sphere. It also has been the most used. It offers an array of weapons but is particularly lethal with its missile packs.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsUse the PPC cannons when they are far off, as they get closer switch to missiles, then finally the machine gun when they are right up next to you.
Medium 'MechsKeep your distance and fire the PPC guns and missiles at them. If they try to get close, blast them with the machine guns.
Heavy 'MechsKeep your distance, and fire PPC until you overheat, then fire the PPC some more. If the other Mech comes close, back up, this Mech is not meant for close combat.
VariationsWeapons
Timber WolfPulse laser, Gauss rifle, crossbow missile


Atlas

Class:Assault BattleMech
Tonnage:100
Speed:20 mph
Offensive Weapons:Pulse laser, Autocannon, Javelin Missiles
Defensive/Special:AMS
Description
The sight of an Atlas still makes even the most experienced MechWarrior break out in hives. The head, torso, and weaponry create a perfect combination of function and fear factor. It is built to inflict a lot of damage on its enemies.
Usage
AgainstMethod
Light 'MechsUse the Javelin missiles if they stay far away, but if they get close use the quad pulse lasers. They shouldn't be a problem.
Medium 'MechsUse the javelin missiles from a safe distance to be sure that the enemy Mech doesn't do much if any damage to you.
Heavy 'MechsYou can either stay at a distance and launch missiles or you can run in and blast them with the pulse lasers. It all depends on the enemies weapons, if they have something better then missiles such as dual PPCs you're probably best suited to stay in close.
VariationsWeapons
PrometheusLaser, Gauss Rifle, Hammer missile


Walkthrough

Going Down Hard

The first mission, and quite an easy one at that. You basically have to destroy a bunch of infantry and take a base.

Objectives

  • Level Salvage Base
  • Stop Convoy
  • Level Infantry Base

'Mechs

  • Cougar

Verify the condition of your Mech and secure the area

First you are going to want to use your jump jets to cross the river; you can also walk across if you want to. You're going to encounter some infantry but they won't be able to do anything, pick any weapon and blast them with the right trigger, or simply run over them. As you keep going a big cliff will be in your path use your jump jets (Left flight stick depressed) to hop over this. Move forwards and discover a small outpost.

Destroy all structures at the small base

This is pretty simple, as soon as you see the buildings start shooting at them, and don't forget to collect the salvage. After destroying the base, move towards the cliff, run over some more infantry and you'll have your second objective.

Destroy the Convoy

Use your javelin missiles or upgraded lasers if you have good aim to fire at the tanks guarding the supply trucks. Try to stay on the cliff, as you'll take less damage that way. When you've cleared out all the tanks or they're out of sight, hop down and chase after the supply truck with lasers. Lots of salvage to be had here also. After you destroy the convoy you'll be right in your next objective.

Destroy the Infantry base and its support tunnel

The first thing you'll want to focus on is the Turrets, you can stay out of their range and launch missiles at them, or you can run in and shoot them. You won't take any damage firing from a distance so that is what's best. There is two on the support tunnel and two or three on the actual infantry base, and you'll also encounter a few more tanks. Now, blow up everything in the support tunnels walls, make sure you pick up any salvage left behind.

Now as you go to enter the Infantry base, power armor suits will come at you, these are like infantry, with the strength of a Mech.

Stand at the gates, and launch missiles at them, if you go inside the gates, they can hide behind buildings, you can also hide behind buildings, but with their inaccuracy and lack of distance, you can easily blast them with tracking missiles in the open. If you need health there is two buildings in the close right hand side of the base, it's not the first building, but the two small ones, one of them contains a health pickup.

After you knock out the power armor, take out the largest building in the back of the base, it's the HQ building.

Suffer the Silence

Here you have to take down a comm. center and its defenders.

Objectives

  • Destroy Communication Tower
  • Destroy Defending Forces


Mechs

  • Cougar (recomended)
  • Puma

Defeat any and all forces supporting and defending the communications array

Move forward and you'll encounter two tanks. Destroy them. Infantry are ahead, simply step on them. At the bridge, use your missile to take out the tanks on the opposite shore, and use machine guns or laser to kill the infantry. Do not step on the bridge because it can be destroyed. When the tanks are destroyed, cross the water to the other shore and destroy the remaining infantry and any tanks if necessary, and then destroy the supply tunnel to the left. Collect any salvage, move forward and you will be attacked by some power armor and infantry. You can use your new PPCs, although I recommend just using missiles. Going further down the road, destroy the tank and turret. Look to your left to find another turret, and destroy any military forces in this outpost. There is health savage in one of the buildings if you need it. Hover east across the water and land on the dock. Move onto the field and destroy the turrets and the tanks moving out of the base to the north. Go towards the yellow arrow on your radar and you will encounter one Mech, an Owens.

Before you go into the fight against the Owens, there is two health pick ups (one's in a building across from the one that's in the open) in the base before the comm base. Pick up one if you need it. When the battle starts go back to the previous base and fire missiles. As he gets close back up into the base and keep firing missiles. If he gets close, use the pulse lasers on him. Make sure you stay close to the health so you can pick it up if you need it.

If you are using a Cougar, use mainly missiles to fire at him. Fire a bit at the Owens, then fly into the northern base and destroy the buildings for salvage. With more health and upgraded weapons, this battle becomes a lot easier.

Enter the southern base and destroy the infantry inside. Go towards the hill with the communications array and destroy the turrets and it. Health is everywhere in this base so there shouldn't be a problem.
