  • The new Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries DLC "Solaris Showdown" has arrived. Let's take a look at all the gameplay aspects, story, new Mechs and weapon systems together. In this playthrough we will start a new career as a Mechwarrior thrown int o a conflict against our will.
    MY MOD COLLECTION ► steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
    Clan Invasion ► www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior...
    Coyote's Mission Pack ► www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior...
    Empress' Legion ► www.nexusmods.com/mechwarrior...
    Fresh off a successful mission on the notorious Mercenary Star, Mason and crew journey to the Hardcore system where they collide with 'Mech pilot Duncan Fisher embarking on a quest to secure a spot in the FedCom Unification Tournament. Forming an unlikely alliance, Mason and Fisher traverse the shadows of Solaris, engage in harrowing 'Mech duels, and race against the clock to save the day - a true Solaris Showdown.
    Join Duncan Fisher in a race against time to thwart the overthrow of the Solaris Council, discover the new Loader King 'Mech, select new weapons and equipment tailored for close-quarter engagements, and help save the very future of Solaris.
    The gameplay of Mechwarrior 5 is split in two different parts. On the one hand you will have to manage your resources, hire new crew members, outfit your Mechs and travel through the Inner Sphere star map. But the action starts as soon as you get into the cockpit of your Battlemech yourself to fulfill contracts on the battlefield to earn more C-Bills and progress the story. I will review the weapon systems, battlemechs, show you how to build the loadouts and train your pilots and take a look at all the different mission types and upgrades of the MW5 Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC.

    A little tip: when you command your lance, make sure to tell them to go somewhere, instead of attacking and following you. The AI gets lost when it needs to move to a moving target and gets pretty great if you command your lance as if it was an rts game: just move them between places and have them attack whatever they want when they arrive. It completely changed how I play and made me love my lancemates!
    As for the DLC, I view it in the context of Clans, as a thing to memify MW5 with Duncan, add ridiculous weapons (PPC-X outclasses literally everything else) and to make MW5 replayable and "lighter" as a game you'd just go to to bonk some 'mechs. I think it succeeds in all of those aspects, I guess that the next one would need to include Van Zandt and obligatory Warhammers.

    after thinking, i do think the ac/10 rf and the ac/20 rf is just not worth running mostly due to the ammo issues. the rapid fire weapons require a lot more ammo bins to keep up the dps, and with the ac/10 and 20 bins not having a lot of ammo in them you can really run out of ammo quickly. plus with the rf base damage being cut in almost half per shot, you total damage output with them in a mission is quite limited.

    Love the videos Bara.
    However, I feel you're really missing out on the Hero Archer "AGINCOURT". It truly is the one that rules everything in the game. Nothing can stop this CQB MONSTER. My current build. 446 armor, 223 structure, Top Speed 74.5 KM/H, Accel 16.3, Upgrades: +15% Range & Velocity, +10% Missile Damage, +5% Missile Damage, +15% Top Speed, +10% Accel & Decel, +2% Torso Twist, Black Market Probe, Max Range 506, I do not recommend SRM ST's, they suck for point blank damage. x2 level 5 SRM4, x1 level 5 SRM 6, x3 level 4 SRM6, x2 level 5 SRM 4, x6 Double Heat Sinks, 4.5 tons SRM ammo, x2 level 3 Heavy knuckles, x4 level 5 Medium Lasers = 202.2 total damage. Alpha strike to the face? Anybody? Atlas? Anni? Anything? Anyone? Nope. Let your buddies draw the agro and you sneak in for the kill. I'm still on the hunt for three more Level 5 SRM6's. Can you say even more damage? Yep. Clanners? FAFO BABY! Give it a shot Bara, you'll never go back. COL REYNARDFTW OUT!

    As far as I know, the prestige levels are infinite. It juts a way to farm money, mechs, and parts. You still will get the high teir equipment at each level, a mech at every 10th.

    At this point, i say head back to modded, there is just a lot more build diversity that can be done with YAML for more (arena) fun. plus imagine if you could encounter a team of clan mechs in the arena (haven't gotten to that time period in my game yet).
    my general thoughts on the solaris DLC, the Arena matches are fun and give an actual reason to have multiple types of mechs of the different weight classes actually built and ready to go. the PPC-X, AC/2 RF, and AC/5 RF i think are great weapon additions to the game (granted the ppc-x is basically the snub ppc added by the mods). the binary laser is fine, it is 2 large lasers in one you cant chain fire, but a ton less so you can 1 extra heat sink. i want to say the black market countermeasure ranges are bugged, that or they only really help vs missiles. the campaign story mission i think is fine.
    all in all, acceptable DLC, worth the full price? hard to say, i got it with all the other DLC's during the spring sale on steam.
    but i think it is a reasonable purchase at a 33% or 50% sale down the road for those that can wait.

      Good advice. I will wait for a while before I pick this up. I am still in my second yaml playthrough of the base game and summer is coming. More than enough real live stuff to do outdoors.
      The dlc seems to me like a bonus dungeon in a RPG. Or the cow Level in Diablo 2. 😂
      Good for grabbing XP, stuff and money in a relatively short time.

    Clans will be more of the same. The story will be written for children, but have random curse words for no reason. The campaign will be so short that you will finish it before PGI fixes any of the bugs that are present on the day of release. Shortly after release PGI will put out a DLC for $24.99 that does not make the game feel like a complete game but will introduce more bugs instead. There is no evidence that PGI will meet our expectations, only evidence of milking a loyal fan base.

    @ChadKanotz 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    For this DLC, I agree that the story was very short, but I'm very much enjoying the Arena missions. It's all I do now. I feel like I got a lot more out of this DLC than others due to the new weapons, variants, and mission types. I am already on to the YAML mods, but I'm just using it to extend my Arena tour.

  • @jasonwrathorn9281
    @jasonwrathorn9281 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I could entirely understand wanting to get back to mods. I never play base game because i don't like being restricted in my builds by the developer deciding it's too complex for the 'average gamer'.
    I want to be able to build my own mechs, adjusting them as needed to suit my play-style. The base game really limits that with the fixed type/size slots and the inability to adjust engines.
    If the Clan Game is even less customization that the baseline here, I'm going to be skipping it until mods can fix it.

    * Find more single heat sinks - IN PROGRESS
    I think it's a fair assumption to make of this DLC. The voice acting is great, but the weakness of the AI is very obvious i.e. you drawing all agro within minutes of shooting. Likewise, that ending with the Urbie stuck in the wall and you having to punch it to death, shows that there are still issues to work out.

    THe idea of the DLC is nice but it was thrown out half assed in terms of game mechanics.
    AI doesnt work for this Game mode, Hence the Agression Pull System
    You can defeat like 2 lances and be almost dead and still encounter a 3rd almost fresh lance and get your ass kicked.
    This is a tournament Game Mode. So why is it so punishing? No Reward System at all for Place 2 or 3? Who would enter here, if you would loose all if you dont win every time?
    If the Win & Progression Rewards werent as busted this Game Mode wouldnt work at all, because you regulary take tons of damage.
    The Modes themselves are OK and the Voice Acting is the best so far in the whole Game.
    Also alot of new cool Weapon Systems some i didnt even knew before.
    It would be better if you could find rearm Stashes and if it had repair Bays on some tactical Positions, that can only be used after you earned a decent amount of Points during a Match and it wouldnt be a full repair but like 30% Repair + 30% Restock or something like that and you could command your Pilots to use them.
    How comes the Mod still has better AI than the official Game after all the time?^^
