![]() However, the heat production exceeds the sinking, so you most likely will not be able to make frequent alpha strikes. Returning to the Bull Shark: with so much heavy weaponry on its shoulders (plus a special mortar that has two ammo), it is capable of dealing damage of more than 500, the highest we have seen so far (please correct us if we're wrong though). So if you don't want to travel far, it is best not to stray too close to the other side of the map. A piece of advice, all of these Flashpoints are located in the Periphery, you know, the black region in the middle. You also have the option to face it directly, even though the crew seems reluctant to do so. In fact, this Flashpoint feels like a mini-campaign, where you will meet some legendary mercenaries, one of which is Black Widow. Every time you finish a Flashpoint, you will be asked to run some contracts and kill some time before you got another, so you have to be patient if you want to get it. To get it, you have to follow a series of special green Flashpoints (this seems to be the special Flashpoint colour for Heavy Metal) that require a lot of in-game time to get done. It's a LosTech mech from the Star League era, and it has a huge number of weapon hard points but also produces astronomical heat. Now, let's talk about the most special mech in the Heavy Metal DLC: the Bull Shark. ![]() Then there is the Annihilator, which is a 100T assault mech with heavy weaponry, but it gets hot very fast. Phoenix Hawk is another medium mech, this time with a high jump capability, making it good for flanking enemies. Then there is Vulcan, which has CQC, dealing greater damage with melee attacks - a good brawler for the early to mid-game. Archer has special equipment called the Missilery Suit that makes the missile attack more focused on one area, making it a great assault weapon able to do damage to heavy foes.Īssassin is one of the most mobile medium mechs in BattleTech and has special equipment that can ignore four enemy evasions, making it a very good light mech killer. Meanwhile, Archer is a missile boat that can be relied on from a distance, but it is also deadly when on approach with its laser (and it was one of our mainstays across a number of missions). Then there is the Rifleman which, as the name suggests, specialises in direct attacks. Flea has the highest mobility, giving you more options regarding light mechs in the beginning, even though we didn't use it much. You can find all the new mechs on missions or via the market straightaway upon activating the DLC, except the Bull Shark. Meanwhile, there are several new weapons, such as the COIL Beam and the mortar, which we will discuss later.įirst, let's talk about the new mechs. From a free update, you can also get two new mechs, namely Warhammer and Marauder. Those mechs are Flea, Rifleman, Archer, Assassin, Vulcan, Phoenix Hawk, Annihilator, and, of course, Bull Shark, a special mech that you can get through the Flashpoints. Now it has received another, this one titled Heavy Metal, which presents eight new mechs, several new weapon systems, and a new Flashpoint as well.Īs the name suggests, Heavy Metal relies on a number of new mechs and weaponry. The game has received some bulky additional content before, including Urban Warfare, Flashpoint, and so forth. Each Career gives us different possibilities, whether it's the mechs encountered, the weapons obtained, or a lucky shot that saves you from a terrible loss. ![]() NEW FLASHPOINT MINI-CAMPAIGNCome face-to-face with two legendary characters from BATTLETECH lore - the Bounty Hunter and the Black Widow of Wolf’s Dragoons.BattleTech is a very broad tactical experience.
