10:16 Recap
Marauder II is not called the "eye eye," it is called the Marauder two (using Roman numerals to denote a different variant/model from the original Marauder . . .
Thanks for correcting me. I wasn't sure and didn't recall hearing it from the old Battletech show or any streamer/TH-camr vids.
Makes it sound like a pirate.
@@finkyboy008 That'd be the Marauder Arr Arr, but luck would have it that we only get 1R.
@@TheInsomniaddict I love me Marauder "Arrr Arrr Arrr"
Lol was going to say the same, I'm a II, and my friend is a III
Firing that Heavy Rifle is SO satisfying!
and you save so much tonnage! Gotta be extra accurate with it tho!
I prefer the Gauss. No projectile velocity.
For a giggle build put light rifle on a locust. I have two on the hero locust when I play with my friends my role is ambush and harrassment you can run in shoot them in the back and your gone before they can turn to retaliate.
Some one from x box community gifted me the dlc. Not mentioning name. But said these exact words to me.😆
Thanks for the short and informative video. Many others are long, heavy on game play and just regurgitate info I can already get in the game. One example of why I like yours is the explanation of what an engine heatsink is. There's no explanation in game and I have never seen anyone else explain it. You got a subscription.
Glad to have you! As a technical writer, the aim of all my guides is to be as concise as possible and to the point :)
Champion 1N is the low tech variant. Champion 2N is the SLDF variant with Ferro Armor and SLDF weaponry when you find it. The 2N is the superior model of the two due to having superior armor compared to the 1N but that's about it. Some mechs that you find may have similar hardpoints but have very different internals like the Marauder 2R is the 3R but with Double Heat Sinks in the engine.
Lore master! 💪📖
@@KnightKnowledge I could have mixed the two up. The low tech variant may be the 1N. Either way, I sorta love my Champion in game as it's a fast heavy with good weapons and okay armor. The game does reflect the ferro armor as the more advanced Champion does have more armor .
The mechs that look almost exactly the same, like the champion, is usually because in Canon they begin using endo steel, different engines, ect.
I'm pretty sure you can fit more points of armor on the LB 10 champion due to the endo upgrade, for example, but they really should let you know this in game.
Wonderful analysis. I’m a new pilot. Just bought this game for Xbox Series X. And this video helped me tremendously. Thank you. Subscribed ☺️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad it helped! Have fun!
I would love my clan buster champion. Also would like the ability to swap out engines and structure when they are introduced into the timeline. Idk if reloaded will be updated for this or not I hope so cause it really opened up the mechlab
Yeah. Love the Marauder II when I got one, but the limited mech-lab felt like there was a lot of potential left on the table. After having played the EGS version with mods, I just can't wait to eventually slap Endo Steel/Hardened Armor, double heatsinks, and an XL engine swap into mine.
You could probably mention different variants have a different number of upgrade slots in career mode also.
Marauder II is what happens when a totally not clan spies mercenary unit decides they want to take without a doubt the most versatile mech around and, make it a monster
loving the -sb lasers in the DLC , took me a little time to warm up to them (haha pun not intended) but they're really nice once you find their niche
dervish stock setup might not be optimal but its hella fun
early game I really liked the vulcan for my lancemates, ac/2 and a bunch of small lasers... having one on the team is OK, but stacking the team with them and using a heavier mech with free tonnage yourself, was really nice
one AC/2 doesn't do much, but 2-3 of them supplimenting your long range damage in the early game was nice, and they can all fight quite well up close if you stack small lasers in them
Vulcan 5T is pretty decent, I use it with Quad M lasers SB and a light rifle
If I recall, the Champion 1N2 is supposed to have double heat sinks.
It's funny the champion has no jump jets yet originally it was supposed to be able to either hover or transform, hence why it has those ridiculous looking arms
The Vulcan early game (Campaign or career) is a surprisingly durable medium. Do love me some marauder II / charger though.
Will give this to MW5 Heroes of the Inner Sphere, it's what MW5 should have been at launch. It's in a pretty darn good place now with map/mech/weapon/mission variation now.
In the case here the CMP-1N2 versions comes with double heat sinks. They look the same right there because you don’t get double heat sinks in the mech builder for skirmish.
I have a bad habit of collecting, but not using the double heat sinks! Lmao!
You keep talking about putting ammo in legs, you should put heatsinks in legs, not ammo. An ammo explosion could easily blow your legs clean off, where as heatsinks work better in the legs when standing in water to cool off.
You might be right if we were talking about tabletop, but the computer doesn't aim to leg you, so it's a much better location than anywhere else. There are also very few maps where you can utilize water cooling as well.
@@KnightKnowledge I noticed the lack of water cooling as well in this game.
Clan tech and what not will come in about a year (officially), mods might allow clan tech to be added however I’m very happy to see the new revamped MW5 it’s like I’m playing an entirely different game and that’s a good thing.
I love all the new weapons, biomes, maps and mission types; definitely feels fresh and new! I hate heavy snow but its so realistic haha
There was a Clan Tech mod, but currently its not compatible with the new update
Where is the source for this info? That would be awesome!
I'd like to see a 1st Somerset Strikers expansion even if it's later in the timeline.
I always liked the Axman in the cartoon along with the Bushwacker, also might mean you could use a possible entire infiltrator lance for a laugh.
I have a toy Bushwacker in my display case! Definitely wish I could pilot that!
@@KnightKnowledge The Tyco toys? I've managed to hold onto them myself xD
The phoenix hawk they give you is a beast.
several of the new mech variants not covered but this was a good high level overview for the new chassis. Also although the builds seem the same for some variants there are differences however this is really the game not giving good feedback on those elements. Those could be ferro/endo/dhs or other specials, etc. sadly to figure it out in some instances you can check external sources on which variants have what stock like sarna or MWO.
Still makes me laugh that the Marauder 2 is supposed to based on Clan Tech due to Wolf Dragoon's interference within the inner sphere. I do hope eventually they'll have the clan invasion eventually.
Fingers crossed!!!!
I managed to get a Marauder II recently, and I actually like using the thing. Stick 3 ER L Lasers on it each as their own separate weapon group, and then 2 MP Lasers for anything that manages to get in close, and put an AI pilot into it and it will pick off VTOLs, turrets, and tanks long before they can even get into range, and likewise they can soften up incoming 'Mechs from well out of range as well. The thing works quite well in the Lance I put it in (2 King Crabs, 1 Marauder II, & 1 Stalker....the King Crabs tear up anything that gets into mid-close range while also tanking hit after hit with little difficulty, while the Marauder II & Stalker provide long-range support and deal with anything the King Crabs would have a hard time firing at).
Yep cant wait for the op clan invasion and us having to do mission sequences for the battle of tukyyad :-)
Damm Clammers!
Question, can you put 2 medium slots into 1 large slot on a mech, or does it have to be a Large weapon?
You can only put one weapon in a slot, but you CAN put a medium/small weapon into a large slot
That Charger CGR-1A1 is a train wreck of a Mech .. stripped without any weapons it's sitting at 77.5 of an 80 ton capacity .. so essentially you're running only small lasers without anything else just to fill the slots.
Yeah was a funny surprise when I locked on to one and saw 5 small lasers lols
It's presumably a great wrecking ball on TT. Problem is the game doesn't have physical damage or knockdowns as far as I can tell.
I love fast mechs, but that sounds pretty crazy! Maybe you're supposed to tank with so little weapons!
On TT punches and kicks were more reliable than point blank shots. And assault mechs hit as hard gauss/ac20. Which were greatly feared for one shoting even the most bad ass mech.
it get even better at max armor its at 80/80 tons with no equipment
I should mention that the various Hatamoto models are all variants of the Charger. And that 3015 is over 20 years too early for them to exist.
Just dropping by here to let you know that the Hatamoto models can't even spawn in the game until the year 3042, which you will get a news entry stating that they started being seen in Kurita
I saw in the news that Minoru Tetsuhara was demoted from his loss against the Wolf Dragoons, and later found his Katana Kat Panther hero mech on an Industrial Planet!
anyone able to find the Marauder 2 in game??? I have only fought two and got neither as salvage so outside of save-scumming them in a new game, I had no idea how to get them... let a lone the damn corsair.
I got mine through a House Davion campaign. I headshot killed and was able to get as salvage. Also got the hero Victor with old star league tech in it ;)
@@ParadigmAC Yep, that's how I finally got mine.
To be more specific, the DLC will introduce a few missions that end with the acquisition of a unique Hero mech. You'll find these missions in the Transmissions tab. The one for House Davion, where you save a noble and rescue his daughter, is the quest line you want. It culminates in a final mission with a 400 tonnage drop limit, and one of the objectives is to kill an enemy lance, and one of those op-for lance members pilots a MAD-A4. Completion of the mission nets you the new heroic Victor.
However it took me a few tries, cause salvage for that mission maxes out at 39 (heroic rep with Davion required), but the first few times the MAD-A4 did actually show up as salvage (which it didn't every time), it cost 48 and 41. Took six tries before it appeared and was damaged enough to fall under the salvage budget.
@@ParadigmAC I alrdy did that line.. didn't get it as salvage. I did get the Victor which is a damn nice mech.
you missed the king crab car
The Carapace was a mission ("Stop the Launch") reward in the base game
Where did everyone find their hatamoto chi? I haven't found one yet
The Chi doesn't start production until around 3039, so you'll have to wait a bit, and even then, that's just when the initial prototype testing wave was sent out, you'll have to wait a little longer still for it to become more commonplace, and you'll find it under Kurita and Rasalhauge forces
@@hyperionrykoraz8185 i knew the year because it was the news in the game that told me, im 3056rn still have not seen one :(
@@m35boostystag29 Yeah man, it took me a while to find one for myself too, eventually I got lucky and had it be one of the rare mechs in Kurita's cut of the Terra industrial cluster
@@hyperionrykoraz8185 oh sweet ill check around there thanks
Charger N7?
Mass Effect fields intensify
I need to hunt down a fucking corsair holy fuck
How do you get the Corsair?
One of the missions in Transmissions. Just note the missions are rank locked.
X marks the spot mission at the top of the map
Hello, When do we get madcat mk2, a crusadet or a fafner
The Fafnir is 3065ish and the Mad Cat Mk. II is I think 3070ish, so we won't see those.
I'd like to see the Crusader, Wasp, and Stinger.
Wish they kept the mechs like uziel, uller, couger, etc
Unfortunately the Uziel is a design way ahead of this timeline, and all clan mechs (uller and cougar included) weren't introduced to the Inner Sphere up until the clan invasion, just a few years short from this timeline.
@@LaloKosakoURSS oh crap I deeply appreciate you telling me that the only battletechs I've ever played was mechassault series, and mechwarrior 4.
@@zarris2389 Same, I was also eager to use the Uziel, but let's hope PGI adds some kind of clan mech expansion.
