For the Glory of House Marik! - Mechwarrior 5 Mercenaries - 01

[@smonkponk]

I always forget how important the "RPG" mechanics are in MW5 when starting a new game. Rushing in with a fresh, inexperienced pilot in a lightly-armored mech is always a fun way to be reminded how important pilot stats are in this game haha

[@boxtank5288]

Oh yeah, not even a DOUBT. With fresh stats, 1v1 in a Light is a pretty quick way to lose the Mech if you aren't used to how that mech works or haven't the skill to pull consistent shots (For instance, I tend to jitter too much)

[@Specter-wt1wt]

also in the early game against armless opponents melee is king wich bara allways seem to forget.

[@josephpatterson60]

A new career! Woohoo!! Glad to see you back in MW:5!

[@kingkiller244]

1. Head/ 2. Central torso/ 3. Right torso/ 4. Left torso/ 5. Right arm/ 6. Left arm/ 7. right leg/ 8. Left leg. All 8 accounted for.

[@trevorreniger5670]

Hooray!!! Back to Mercs! Clans was so disappointing. GREAT playthru, then zero replay value and a joke for DLC. I would *LOVE* an MW5 update, or even combining the assets from Mercs into the Clans graphics engine, mechlab, and keeping MW5 campaign/career. Mercs is where it's at.

[@shadow_watcher19]

"Bara's banana bois" - is super awesome name for the company) i laughed a bit)

[@loadedcouchpotato6567]

Grey and electric blue is a great color combo. Love it.

[@patrickhaworth6278]

Man Baradul, you definitely believe in having a tough go at it, I'm looking very forward to seeing you survive and thrive, good puck.

[@phforNZ]

Hi baradul, a note with your mod list. SMMO should not be run with YAML, it's been integrated in for months now, and actually has just been upgraded to the Star Map Tips Enhanced version in YAML.

[@SkavenEnjoyerYesYes]

Isnt another clan invasion also generally not recommended anymore due to bugs?

[@phforNZ]

@SkavenEnjoyerYesYes buggy and janky, yes. Not recommended, but if you're willing to put up with Unpainted Mongeese and invulnerable fafnirs...

[@axil7146]

@@SkavenEnjoyerYesYes Yep Clan invasion tends to crashg the game now and most mechs are now covered in the other YAML mods

[@GeraldManweiler]

SMMO yes now incorporated into YAML, SMTE not yet, you can still use it

[@phforNZ]

@@GeraldManweiler it's in there as of the newest version, v0.93.1

[@TheRealGirochen]

Awesome job as per usual. I always enjoy your series in what is probably my most favorite game. Though MW4 (all of them), and MWO are also excellent. Thanks for the joy.

[@jimallen5590]

There is a setting in mod options, YAML or YAW that can be set so Srm do not explode at max range and can be lobbed further.

[@Noble-y5f]

I would love to see a series where you climb the difficulty ladder as you progress. I really loved that aspect of your Breachway series and you seemed to as well. Makes for a more thrilling series and I feel it's the only thing missing from your MW5:M playthroughs.

[@MadmanJnr]

Bara I think Reputation was the word you were thinking of. I love you did say every other type 🔥

[@Birds_A_Killa_Now]

hell yeah!!! I love it when I catch a First Episode to a Series!!! LETS GOOOOO!!!!!

[@igorbukovy4313]

What a concidence. I started new campaign 2 days ago. :)

[@StrangeUncle01]

Finally Bara plays for the right team. FREE WORLDS FOREVER. Perhaps Bara will finally let himself see the power of the humble medium laser.

[@ChadKanotz]

Finally! The season I've been waiting for!

[@TuckeredTerrier]

Yay! A new MW5M series! The early game climb is so dynamic and fun

[@3scafl0wn3]

YES new season, lets go commander!!!

[@nick_alderman]

Yay, welcome back..!! More Urbies please :D

[@blindmikeguard]

Hooray! A new season!

[@Kirkmaximus]

I think Bara will find an overwhelming number of people wanting him to continue this series. Just don't forget to pay the space phone company, bucko. XD

[@MisterNi]

Nice, another new series and with Marik too. The statistically least chosen starting great house faction in MW5:M. 😄 Anyway, good video Bara. 🙂

[@TheClaw47]

That flea is why I love starting as Marik. A spider feels like an upgrade.

[@maxbombel877]

Glad to see you back at mw5. I decided not to watch your clans playthrough yet bc i want to play it myself first. But due to kids and house and work i dont have time to do so at the moment.😢

[@Tom_Foolery324]

Fun as always, and I can't wait to see the new wacky pirate gear. One thing, I think you should use your custom Marauder when you get to the appropriate stage of the game. I like seeing all the different hero mechs on the field, I genuinely enjoy the exploration of all the different items aspect of the modded gameplay experience.

[@Jacklangefeld]

This is awesome Bara!!! Love it.

[@mlhauburn]

I love that you are back to playing MW5. Was missing seeing you wreck things. Can you do a short video sometime to run through all your settings? Even for the mods.

[@0KOrbU0]

Yay :) Hope to see a mech with continuous lasers in this run.

[@gregshimmin5334]

❤🎉 Yay! New play through! 🎉❤

[@MrGeorocks]

Don't forget that you can punch, good way of supplementing damage at low tier.

[@boxtank5288]

Hostile AA Turret means more if you have Aerospace assets (Through some missions that let you get Aerospace Fighters, whether Interceptor, Multi-Role or Attacker. If an AA turret is out and about, you do NOT want to deploy your AS until it is gone, else it will wreck your AS and make for EXPENSIVE repairs.

[@Kirkmaximus]

You are completely correct. The only thing I would add is the AA (and aerospace fighters) all come from the Coyote mod(s). Speaking of Coyote, we should all check out his channel. Least we can do for him since he makes these amazing mod(s).

[@christopherrankmore1238]

Whoo hoo more Mechwarrior 🎉

[@branislavcika]

Finally a new season!

[@mrnoahboa1369]

couldnt agree more about playing for salvage to progress! I have a game with some of my friends and we have millions of bucks and could snag any mech off the market but it feels less cool! Excited for the new career!!

[@torhacs]

A nice build that I use in the vanilla game for the flea-15 is removing all the heatsinks, the machine guns, keeping the small lasers and putting one ac2 for a "sniper" fast firing flea for longer range that still useful at closer range. plus put the ac2 in the first firing group for better AI performance

[@MrRokkit]

...or 2 Light Rifles and 5 small lasers. 1 heat sink in enough for that (trimming about half the head armour - but if you headshot a Flea, you deserver the kill!)

[@martyincanuckistan3635]

Finally I can start watching Bara again

[@marystar1924]

A.I. controlled Flea is great. I do big fights with heavy mechs and sometimes assault, and all mechs are damaged but not the flea. 😊

[@OM4R_FARUK]

Fresh start, Fresh Sub and Fresh addiction :D

[@frankseu]

I'm excited for this series! How many uploads are you planning per week for this series?

[@corinkenyon3801]

House Marik represent babe!!!!

[@bigsarge2085]

Inner Sphere or bust!

[@igorbukovy4313]

Hostile AA turret is counter to your ASF or your friendly air units.

[@volfegan]

You need to hunt down some frankenmechs.

[@GordonGaz]

Missed it on the opportunity for Barra's Birdies, and go all in on jump jets

[@FARBerserker]

Marik has one of the best Stalkers. The STK-5M. It will not stop killing. You can rip it down to one Leg and CT and it will still keep firing an ER Large Laser at you. Without getting hot as well!

[@WarriorcZe]

🎉🥳 finally MW5 is Back, THX for staying and playing

[@Stefan-Amann]

We're back to the early struggle, thanks for another run, Baradul 👍 Not taking the free mechs is good, but consider taking the good pilots which are "attached" to these mechs 💪 Seriously Marik - again? 😁

[@marksoler7338]

Yes! Open the notifications and take the resource missions! Later when you get aircraft from the resource and base capture missions, the hostile AA batteries will quickly shoot them down.

[@vonseitentv]

Enjoy the new start! (and all the new stuff the mods bring in;) Cheers!

[@darrenpask]

I've been waiting for this 😊

[@ZacharyChristy-Aronson-wg5ki]

Glory to purple birb.

[@perry92964]

yea mech action. ive been playing stalker 2 and its a lot of casual fun

[@cesarespinozaspain]

YES!!!!!!!! Missed MW5 Content but Ere we go! New year more bashing !!! OH! Just noticed Bara are you a lefty guitar player?

[@grrrit1]

yessss!

[@FrikInCasualMode]

A new start! Maybe stay in Marik space for as long as possible, being a good FWL patriot and picking fights mostly with Cappies and Lyrans?

[@michaelgreiner-qp4iz]

Yay ! i was missing this

[@WolfKeltenich]

Jeeeeeiiiii

[@axil7146]

I'd also put in the turret expansion and scary vtols - both definitely add some spice to the non mech opponents. Also use Adjustable Battle Value that will allow you to adjust the difficulty of the enemy spawns

[@stevensutton2252]

listening to funky jazz ai generated playing vid in foreground love base in time with mech movements jam MAN LOL

[@apaijmans]

Nice to see you back with a new round of MW5 Mercenaries, the Clans were a bit boring without salvage. Could you play this round without hiring new pilots?

[@amplifier8435]

@Baradul Try this two mods also: Cockpit Glass - rain and snow also affects your glass, you can see raindrops on it, for example. GlassBreak - when you get head damage on your mech, you also gets dents on glass, which makes harder to aim. Both mods from steam library, no problems with installing. Both mods works fine in first person view, so, since it's not your first walktrough, you'll be all good and myabe, you will enjoy the game even more.

[@axil7146]

Cockpit glass - non recommended if you use mod that add mechs - it causes issues

[@amplifier8435]

@@axil7146 I thought, it wouldn't work with those mechs, isn't it?

[@axil7146]

@@amplifier8435 it seems to have 2 effects - it seems to mess up being able to swivel after you switch mechs and also since it seems to work by overlaying over effect as a mock cockpit is messes up the view through some mechs

[@phforNZ]

@@amplifier8435 makes it impossible to play the affected mechs in first person

[@cidneverwas5481]

Bara's Banana Bois? Could've also gone with Tally Hall... "Do you want a banana?" or "Dis banana for you!" should be tagged on all your missile-toting mechs for this run. 😏

[@UndaLupus]

Purple bird strong!

[@MrRokkit]

This is fantastic! Perfect timing. I just finished re-watching the full 30 episodes of Heroes of the Inner Sphere yesterday. What were the chances?

[@francoistremblay4763]

You have a Warning in red on the main menu telling you you have not installed Mod Option. I highly recommend you do. It will create a new tab in the Options menu that will allow you to adjust every mods that use it. You can make the game as easy or hard as you want it to be.

[@capt.graybeard]

I was wondering when you were coming back. I bought a actually my wife bought me a Xbox and I can't put the mods on there but I've been playing the game and I do get a lot of tips from you while you play. If you got any ideas on how to add the mods into an Xbox I'd be all for it. Welcome back!

[@D3rpp00l]

SRM's are cranking your heat more than those lasers. Ease up on the fire rate lol.

[@Bakuryu0083]

Not sure if you've thought about/done this already, but I think you could do an interesting start using one of those free mod mechs, and ONLY one of them, and build up your company from salvage

[@kirkmyers2116]

Hahaha, banana bois, are they dressed up like the village people?

[@19Peace69]

Just started a new campaign as well since I replaced my cpu and motherboard. Going to miss all my saved games since 2019, especially my Kintaro-GB and KGC-KJ.

[@generaldisarray4146]

I just went thru the exact same thing last month. 😂

[@matthewwadwell6100]

You might want to consider using the AP Gauss ammo in the Annie - just for extra _spiciness..._

[@Jin-vx2oe]

Happy to see a new season. Is the pilot overhaul not working anymore? Loved some of the pilots.

[@Finleymcg]

Starting from the Free Worlds League end? This could be an interesting playthrough.

[@jimallen5590]

You should update to latest Von Hud, The battle grid and customizable Hud options are great.

[@igorbukovy4313]

Speaking of fast progress, U should grab long war mod which slows down the reputation progress.

[@amplifier8435]

As for Flee for destruction of a city - well, why not? Personally, I prefer Firestarters for this kind of mission. But, maybe, you should have pay attention to mechs, who chasing your bots, because they can easily waste their backs and ruin your run. After all, you're the only one, who needs to be at evac point to end, other can easily spend some time dancing with enemy.

I hate to be a desperate nobody fan-boy, but if there's ever an opportunity for a cross-play pilot to join you, I'd be so excited to intercept clan stars

[@peter10245]

The Tanks. What says the Lore ? Are they actually manned with a live Crew ? I mean i would bail out asap if Mechs appear. A Single Tank stands no Chance in Hell to not get wrecked by a Mech. Maybe they are Radio or Ai controlled ?

[@christopherrankmore1238]

Complete all cantina missions as a challenge ie all ranks and upgrades

[@Sp1n3c]

I'm playing through my first campaign. Just bought all the DLS as well. I'm still abit confused of what is happening. What is the difference between campaign and the careers? And should i mod the game ? How do you start the DLCs ? Any advice is much appreciated 10x. This is alot of fun

[@Asianlolita]

I was suffering withdrawal

[@GeraldManweiler]

Also the Hellfire and Brimstone suite is get outdated and many people are reporting issues with it.

[@mikeheimlich1303]

Have you considered a campaign where you start with like one of the Marauders and have to solo?

[@cszolee7979]

I was wondering how long you can go without MW5 Mercs :)

[@BesuliikOrdo]

Been trying to play this game again. Using Bara's Mod collection, load into the game and everything is black but i can still hear the game music. Any suggestions?

[@marystar1924]

How do you make TT_AI rules work with coyote mission mod? The game says it is in conflict with the mission mod. Same goes for Scary Tank and Mechlab

[@MonolithsChosen]

big question, if i follow all mods on that list is that all i need for copy run? or do i have to add some from nexus separately?

[@MonolithsChosen]

also thsi emporess stuff is not on nexus anymore

After over a decade I've finally returned to pc land. What mods are recommended for mw5. Besides yaml

[@wolfshadow7428]

Are you ever goingg to do another zero to hero run?

[@redassassin02]

Difficulty wise maybe a themed run might work. Something like calling your company bara’s brawlers and using only small/medium lasers + melee (or something a lot cooler than this suggestion…). I’ve found playing with a theme can keep things interesting both difficulty wise and for just general enjoyment.

[@igorbukovy4313]

U should buy both SLs tier 0 and upgrade them to tier 1 and than install on the mech.
