- Welcome to Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries DLC "Call to Arms" playthrough. In this video I will show you the gameplay of a full missions as well as the MechLab where you customize your Battlemechs. Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is a game about stompy Mech action. You take command of a mercenary company and try to grow your income, salvage Mechs and hire Mechwarriors. The game includes a campaign with a vast storyline.
This DLC is all about Melee Mech Combat. With new Melee focused weapons like hatchets, axes and swords you can dominate the battlefield in close quarter combat. Apart from a bunch of new Mech Variants a new Mech joins the ranks of Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries: The Hatchetman. This 45 ton Medium Mech can cripple enemies with its Autocannon and Medium Lasers at range just to close in and take components with its Hatchet.
The gameplay 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.

YAML for me is what MW5 should have been from the start. I love playing through this game with the full set of YAML mods. Good Choice Baradul! 🤘🤘
PGI is so unfathomably incompetent.
@@joec3090 That is colossally unfair. I'm playing the game in 2022, it's a great game, it's just about the only thing resembling a mech sim this decade.
Is it perfect? Nowhere near.
Is it the work of unfathomable incompetence? Absolutely not.
It's a great game out of the gate and has huge scope for improvement/alteration through mods if that's what you want.
Glad to see another mod ecosystem being showcased! As much as I like merctech, I know that Magnum's pulling a complete rehaul to make co-op playable, therefore I'd have to wait a while to play that again. That being the case, I'm using YAML until a somewhat stable MTv3 is released. Godspeed Magnum, and glory and riches for you, Baradul!
is this list of mods baradul is using Coop compatible?
@@grantbrown1695 I'd have to watch again, but I believe it is, because unlike merctech yaml has no custom projectiles (that I'm aware of). MT's biggest coop issues were the custom projectiles, as well as the fire rate/damage per round syncing for host/client.
I want to thank you for bringing back my love of Battletech and Mechwarrior, I have owned all of the older games, and this just makes me smile.
Just in case it would be easier for others too, here is the list of mods he showed installed and activated (all from steam workshop) :
vonBiomes 8.2
PilotOverhaul
WAR_FX
YetAnotherMechlabMechs
Scary Tanks
TTRulez_LanceMateOrderz
Yet Another Special Variant
Cockpit Glass
Yet Another Mechlab (had a conflict note)
TTRulez_AIMod2
Yet Another Equipment Collection
Mech_Bundle
Hellfire and Brimstone - Autocannons Effects
Hellfire and Brimstone - PPC Effects
Hellfire and Brimstone - Missle Effects
Community Asset Bundle
YetAnotherClanMech
Savage Wolf MC-MKIV YAML
Advanced Career Start (had a conflict note)
MW5 Compatibility Pack
Yet Another Weapon (had a conflict note)
Yet Another Weapon Clan
HeatGauge
Remove JumpShip Animation
Any way to use steam workshop if I bought the game through GOG?
As an addition to this comment: sadly some modders only keep NexusMods version up to date. TTRulez_AIMod2 is one example of this: the 6.1 version available on steam is almost year old and is bugged, causing the AI to act even worse than vanilla AI at times. The Hellfire and Brimstone mods are another example, with supposedly big performance fixes in the latest version that wasn't uploaded to Steam yet, after roughly an year.
@@JushakF Hellfire and Brimstone are on nexxus also not updated, not possible to play with it ..... otherwise u like Gamecrashes ....
tried installing the mods and now mech labs does not work
Is there an issue with the order they are loading in?
I've just seen someone play this game and the day later bought it and the career mode DLC. I can't believe I've never seen this series before, the thrill of being in the cockpit while the terrain and battle breaks apart just wow. This series is 100% going to be helping me understand the game and be a better pilot
its cool huh played since a kid grew into it
Welcome to the series! It's a stellar one for sure.
Let us know what your favorite mech is!
I love your enthusiasm and joy for the game.
YES! YAML and the clan weapons are essential to this game. You can't talk about 'end game' untill you have 4 Atlasses with ~175 alpha and >50dps using clan heavy improved medium lasers, c-uac10 or 20 and some nice c-lrm15's with ~1600m sensor range
edit: This is fast ~120km/h
Breathe man BREATHE!
@@TheDwarfishjoe you're not wrong 😂
That's the best Night Vision yet... Love it!
That Scary tank addition is no joke to start with. Tough yet solid start!
Thanks!
You have set yourself up for quite the challenge, good luck getting out of the starting hole.
Hope you had a great vacation Bara! I'm excited to see this play through. YAML has been fun thus far for me. Hoping to see some awesome King Crabs and I found the Cyclops with full armor/internal structure plus a katana is really good for melee. Keep up your great content! Tanks man😎
HELL YEAH! I'm so excited for you to play YAML and associated mods! YAML is my preferred way to play, not as hardcore and technical as MercTech, but more detailed and free than vanilla! For me, who wants that in-between sim it's exactly what I want.
I have been waiting for this! So awesome! Love watching you play Bara!
Boy I’m glad I started in campaign. Gives you a 50t Centurion with an Ac10, LRM10, and twin medium lasers. I did my first couple missions just by myself to save on repair costs.
jeez bara
starting with only lights and using scary tanks?
you in for one hell of a ride
Some good intense action in this!
you can use repair all instead of clicking every single mech.
And you can build better weapons, it is next to the cold storage.
Really looking forward to the let's play.
The yet another mods are awesome. It makes getting mechs so much easier
GREAT new run through!!! Can't wait for more!! 👍👍👍
Whooohooo! I'm so glad you've returned to modded versions of MW5! Looking forward to your new videos :D
Just started my own YAML playthru after seeing how much fun you’re having, Baradul! Also using the vast majority of your recommended Mods + Coyote Missions. Man its sooo good!
If you havent used the new vonHud, you just gotta. Its the best Hud mod I’ve used for MW5, so check it out!
Thanks again for getting me back into MW5, love what you do brotha!

"Is this position here good?"
Me, having scrolled down only seeing his chin:
"...yes?"
When you salvage parts it will only use shares once per mech, not per part. This isn't immediately obvious since it looks like it will use shares for each part. It's a great system since it makes it rewarding to incapacitate a mech with minimal damage so you can gain as many parts as possible :)
Welcome back!
Aww yeah, light mech time!
Great to see you starting another modded series!
nothing like a new play through. This is gonna be fun!
FYI every time you salvage stuff on the battlefield, holding E, you always pick up ammo for whatever weapons you have. you picked up 384 rounds of MG ammo at the end of the last mission.
Looks like it's going to be a fun play through!
Mod options from Nexus let you turn down tank turret and VTOL hp to basegame, and bring back vanilla SRM/LRM behavior where they fall to the ground instead of blowing up in midair MWO style
I've been enjoying your Roguetech series and thought I'd look at this as well. Just bought this about a week ago and am so glad that a modder "RogueTeched" MW5. That said, one of these, and I need to do some checking to figure out which one, royally screwed the night vision. I just had a mission where it was pitch black, even under night vision. I have somewhat substantial IRL experience with earlier generations of NVGs, and even with 20 year old technology, it's never pitch black under goggles. I may end up disabling whatever mod did that, but otherwise, really loving your mod list and looking forward to the mayhem!
Yes more stompy much stuff to watch. I need to start saving up for a decent PC, want to play 3062 so bad. MW5 is good and I enjoy playing, but I really want the feel of turn based old school BattleTech dice game that 3062 brings. And being able to build your mechs the way you want, instead of having the locked hard points in MW. Another fun episode Bara 👍🤘
Coyote mission pack mod provides new missions. He created missions with 250 difficulty ratings. :)
This makes me hate my PS4 so much. Mods look so good for this game.
Mission 2: This is where Mechwarrior fails. Hired to defend a farm. Destroys the equipment, fields, and the enemy. Mechwarrior really needs to step up and make a real RPG.
Shepard: I'll make sure of it.
Joker: If this keeps going it won't be anyone left except you and me.
Shepard: All part of my plan.
Activate the Nomad !
Why 'defending a farm' is always a thing in this game? I remember the same mission from Mech Commander.
I mean… when you have massive factions, you gotta keep them all fed. Attacking enemy farms is a good way to hurt them so naturally those factions would want the farms defended… and even if the farm is destroyed, so long as the enemy is destroyed they can’t go and destroy another farm.
@@ProjectDT88 No one has ever done a proper Mechwarrior RPG. For example, in a contract for base defense, it would be fun and interesting to have some native static defenses, scouting elements, and "enters on turn x" based on the unit's discipline. And ground troops holding buildings should be a thing. Human factors like that. Where decisions matter. Mechwarrior is fun and all, but it is a steroid arcade shooter.
It looks funny to watch a locust walking through steel and concrete.
Just got the game, and despite having a 50 ton Centurion, the Cicada is my MVP. 6 medium lasers and an energy quirk makes it feel like it can actually do damage. Unlike everything else. XD
Baradul: "Trying not to get hit here!" immediately face plants into a building at full throttle lol.
Scream get to the choppa!
I played with Merctech + Pirate tech for the longest time, and recently started a YAML modpack for the first time. As much as I loved Merctech, this is so much better (especially for co-op!). You don't get the different brands of weapons anymore but that felt cluttered anyway and it feels like there is more genuine variety in YAML. I hope you enjoy it!
Partial Mech salvage exists in two forms in YAML, V1 and V2. V1 still gives you a chance for full hulls, but all individual salvage is generalized - i.e., if you blow up a Shadow Hawk SH-2D in V1, you'll either get the whole Hawk or parts of it. With V2, you'll either only get the whole Hawk or parts of the SH-2D variant _in particular._ It's a fun alteration, and a nice option if you want to have a narrower field of salvage instead of a more generalized pool to draw from.
oh boy, back to being space broke......i love it
Thanks for the video.
One thing YAML hides from you if you don't have the Mod Option mod, is that tanks and turrets are set to 3 times vanilla hp.
Edit: I'm surprised you passed up the coolant pod. It's 4 cool shots in a one ton item.
Yeah, it's such a nice item. I wonder if Baradul thinks it as a cheat item, and that's why he avoided it.
That said, when I was running yaml before the last dlc, I didn't find it on loot tables, which means that if enemy mechs have them and use them, then it's fair game for us too.
Does scary tanks override that or does it stack.
@@DIEGhostfish I'm pretty sure it's set specifically to be overwritten by Scary Tanks.
@@Acaios1 Well to be fair to the coolant pod it is and isn't a cheat thing at the same time, it is because that tech isn't standard nor is it lostech, it's extremely experimental to the point that there are NO manufacturers of them ANYWHERE in both Clan and IS space and it hasn't even been given to regular mech units to even trial either, all tests have been done on mechs the groups working on the experimental tech purchase for use in testing so it shouldn't even be showing up in the markets except maybe the odd black market.
It's not if you run builds that have way more heat gen than cooling ability though, the coolant pods are perfect for those.
@@MegaRazorback I'm no lore expert. It's a perfect and cheap, early game item, until you start finding double heatsinks. Now with the extra mods and advancement in time, with things like prototype heatsinks, heat exchanger, etc, they lose (some of) their power.
The thing you wrote in the end I guess is true (it's similar to the early game I was talking about before, e.g. 6 ML Cicada, high heat, low dissipation), and when I'm gonna try such build in the future (like RACs) I may consider adding one or two. Thx for the reminder.
35:00 - For anyone reading comments in the future; yes, walls do count when destroying a base. Why it doesn't seem like it in the video is because most of everything that can be destroyed and counted are calculated in partial precents (example: 0.5%) so you don't always see a shift. I've destroyed walls all the time and left whole buildings up and see got the mission done. Hopefully this helps someone!
Can confirm this is the case. Leave walls last so you can hammer out those last percentages without having to hunt for smaller, destructible bits.
I found the pilot overhaul and TTRulez absolutely broke the ai. They got stuck, froze, didn't shoot at enemies right in front of them, it was awful. Running one or the other was alright, no problems either way. But both together was a train wreck.
Hell yeah!
I recently started playing MW5 and I find it gives me the same satisfaction as I got from playing Monster Hunter World. It has similarities in the gameplay loop: Sort out your gear, go on a mission, sort out your earnings, upgrade/sort out gear etc. I expect to put many, many hours into this game.
I wish we could combine the ballistic weapon changes from MercTech with the Yet Another mods. I LOVE YAML but I really love the way autocannons are remodeled in MercTech
Just started a new playthrough today... on almost identical modlist :D go Bara!
godspeed, Bara!
Iron rebellion is worth a look if you love mech games.
lol, "There must be something I can destroy!" then completely ignores the generator
YAML lets you use LBs as cluster or solid by hitting ctrl+Fire group to toggle
what's the difference between cluster and solid?
@@Birbucifer A single big round or a shotgun burst.
imo you should still use the nexus since you cannot get mods like coyotes mission pack on steam. mixing mods from steam and nexus is perfectly fine. also while warFX is great looking it has an issue with fires not disappearing (see mission 2 sky)
Thats the whole point. Fires do not disappear with WarFX.
@@hibiki54 the smoke issues i am talking about can be seen @ 21:07 and many more times throughout the mission. like i said, smoke and fire hanging in the air.
Dude I was just looking through your playlists yesterday, and was a bit sad you hadnt done a modded run in awhile. Ill be watching all these for sure!
Do you have a schedule for your mw5 stuff already planned, and is there any thing youre looking forward to checking out with the mods thus playthrough?
Look back at his videos. His Merctech run ended at the beginning of July
I'd recommend moving your portrait to the right side middle. Also it's a shame you aren't using Coyote's mission mod. I don't think I could play the game without it anymore.
👍
I want to recommend Franken Mech Foray as a mod to spice up pirates.
YAML suite can be added to an ongoing save now with relatively few errors that can be easily fixed, you may want to just put it on your existing save.
Get you a missile Cyclops, load it up with as many SRMs you can pack on it, install a bigger engine, and run around destroying everything on the map.
King crab car can mount 5 srm6 which is nice
@@DIEGhostfish I'll have to try that out!
While you were shooting the rain gutters off of that building, there was a huge capacitor array nestled into the building.
I genuinely wish you had added Harjel (which is now known as Yet Another Equipment Collection), because it adds a bunch of neat extra bits to YAML which are all mostly taken from the BattleTech Lore.
finally YAML with so good mods
Don't forget the Repair Bay and Coyote mission mods!
Honestly I would love to see the camera in the left side of the screen, since all your objectives are on the right. Or perhaps swap between left and right sides of the screen.
top left corner is good
Heat vision is also something wicked now.
Hey I've been trying to start a game with the same mods and a very similar start to yours. The problem is the only missions I am getting at start are reptuation 5-7 or higher, which are all at least difficulty 30. What am I doing wrong? It seems impossible at that level when all you have are a few locusts...
Whew! That was a stressful episode
" we are gonna go to florida "
News Headlines: Local Florida man convinces group demihuman aligators to mercenary lance mechs
Mods look interesting. Partial mech salvage looks risky.
Great to have you back, Bara.
By the way, it is just me or are Bara's videos always 50% quieter than the rest of stuff on TH-cam?!
Lol😁, Urjala is a small village in southern Finland, about 150km north of Helsinki. I wonder if someone in the Mech Warrior team is from Finland.
Was the star on the map an old SLDF bsse?
You definitely need Mod Options. Nexus I know, but it's =really needed.
Try right screen placement.
And mix it up a little...
All assault mechs at the end is fun, but, try other options as well.
Been so excited for this! Any chance you can make a collection so its a bit easier to find them all?
Good luck Bara'
Just so you know, those tanks and stuff have loads of health because the YAML default setting for the hp multiplier is 3.0
My first mission was a bit of a surprise before finding that out
I also recommend the Sound Enhancement mod and the Von Hud. Both are excellent.
vonHUD I still need to get on the Steam Workshop.. one task for probably the weekend;)
@@vonseitentv Love your work by the way. Cheers for the mods.
@@wavehopper4183 Thanks and Cheers! :)
Intense.
Just want to throw a shout out to whomever put together the "Baradul's MW5 YAML Mods" collection on the Steam Workshop, so all I had to do was hit subscribe to all.
6,475 C bills and a level zero LRM 15 was the pickup salvage from the 'treasure' on the last mission.
Those loot caches will give uou ammo sometimes too. So theres that. The last one gave you back some ammo
I have a mod that removes the ammo replenish ability from those crates. Makes absolutely ZERO logical sense to even be there.
What? Is Fahad beaming down to the battlefield. Opening up your mechs ammo bins and just reloading all that ammo into your mechs ammo belts and ammo bins by hand while you are in a combat area or even being in active combat? I do not think so. So bye bye ammo replenishment. in my game.
@@xJamesLaughx Yeah, I just assume it's got little robo arms.
@@xJamesLaughx i completely agree that they shouldnt be there lol. Pgi managed to do the one thing that made the loot boxes worse by adding ammo to the rolls. Dont "fix" a problem we never had.
At approximately 00:42, you mention a "Steam Workshop", where you can go and subscribe to selected mods and get auto-updates for them. I have not been able to locate that. Could you please provide some details about how to do that? TIA
which mod is giving you thermal vision and pilot quirks/affinity? recently bought the game and threw on what i thought were all the mods except the cosmetic ones, but those two features are missing in my game :/
Ah damn I was hoping you would add YAML to an existing save to get closer to the i troduction of Clantech
Hey Baradul, don't take this the wrong way I really get a kick out of your gameplay vids, I'm creating a drinking game based on your most common comments. LOL
like:
Laazerrrs
uhu uhu uhu
Dont Hit me!
Party sons
I wana get out of here
Cool, Not Cool!
I'm still playing with the list.
Is the base version worth getting? I don't have a PC but I've been checking out a bunch of videos and it's piquing my interest more and more. I know I can't mod the game on console but I'd still like to try it. What do you guys think?
Ultimate melee mech banshee bnc 2p with hot seat t 5 ax melee gyro 3 spiked upper shoulder melee lower. With gorilla arms you top off damage at 270 a swing and with hot seat and 400 core can hit 88 speed so not too much can get away from you.
'ERE WE GO, BOYZ!
Hello Baradul, I really miss you paying MWO, could you do a few rounds for old time's sake?
Wish my MW5 was from Steam instead of Epic. The decision to get the game early is coming back to bite me.
Are you running any mods that enhance the visuals? I don't know what it is, but the graphics are looking insane :o
Yay, at last YAML playthrough.
At start I didnt like YAML, because it seems top complicated. But now I cant olay without it. Game is much deeper now...
In MW5, with beam weapons especially, the 'max range' is actually more like optimal range. Damage falls off out to 0 about 1.5x optimal range. So 540 m mlas can shoot out to about 700 or so. Just not as effective.
use termal vision and weapon upgrade. also scary tanks on low levels are really scary
How do you get the custom carter start I’m missing it on my game
Baradule do you have a list written down that I can copy for your mods, what order to load them, and any problems you had and how you fixed the problems. Thanks.
