Farming them from enemies is slow going, but they occasionally appear in stores, and most of them are very worth the search. These advantages combine to create new engagement opportunities for even the most seasoned Mechwarrior.īeyond the titular heavy metal there are eight new weapons to equip on your lance. The Rifleman has a rangefinder suite that, when combined with long range weapons, reduces attack penalties and let’s them see further. The Assassin lives up to its name by ignoring evasion bonuses the enemy racks up through movement. Meanwhile, the Archer has a pair of LRM-20s stock, as well as a module to tighten the spread of your missile salvo, causing extra damage to stability when they land. Since there are no infantry in the game, it loses some of its luster, but the support weapons onboard get a bit of a buff. By way of example, the Vulcan has a close quarters combat (CQC) focus, with a bonus to melee attacks.
The mechs in Heavy Metal come with specializations that can be real tide turners in battle. You brought the wrong tonnage to the fight. I could describe them, but I really want to focus on the Bull Shark. All of these are pen-and-paper known (if not rare) mechs that we’ve seen in other games (both tabletop and videogames) over the last three and a half decades. The seven mechs you’ll now encounter as part of any normal outings are the 20 ton Flea, 40 ton Vulcan, 40 ton Assassin, 45 ton Phoenix Hawk, 60 ton Rifleman, 70 ton Archer, and a 100 ton Annihilator. With 35 years of legacy to build on, it’s time to get up close and personal with some of the best classic mechs and weaponry to ever hit the Periphery.īefore we get to the fresh campaign content, there are eight mechs added to the roster with Heavy Metal - seven you’ve seen before, and one built entirely for this expansion. Call it, Heavy Metal! Rounding out the final DLC for Harebrained Scheme’s giant stompy mech tactical game, Battletech, we finally get our hands on some of the mech designs we’ve been clamoring for since the game launched in November of last year.
