Our new Long Range Mech - Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Modded | YAML + Rise of Rasalhague 25

Welcome to Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries DLC "Rise of Rasalhague" playthrough. I will cover the whole gameplay experience, storyline, game mechanics and new Battlemechs that will come with the addon. The biggest parts of the new DLC are a whole new mini storyline that consist of 12 unique missions, the new Crusader Mech and some new gameplay mechanics that involve competing mercenary companies. 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.
MY MOD COLLECTION ► steamcommunity...
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.

Dudes always smiling and it's damn infectious. Thanks for the content.

[@leem.9934]

Baradul: "these lasers are so expensive though..." 3 seconds later: * picks random autocannons that are even more expensive * This is why I watch this channel (and randomly yell "PICK THE GODDAMN MEDIUMS YOU MADMAN!" at my screen).

[@1A4atheist]

I'm indifferent to the smoke. Also the thermal vision doesn't bother me at all.

[@rickusjamesus]

Keep the smoke the way it is. Also keep the Jenner and maybe get a medium, too. There will be tons of missions as you go on where you will need a smaller tonnage guy to fill drop requirements

[@mathewfitzpatrick5645]

You get more mech bays by just having more mechs "on the line", it'll auto expand to the amount of mechs you, max 40 or something.

[@DangerGnom]

also the Upkeep gets higher, the more mechs you have in your mechbay.

[@DangerGnom]

i would recommend, instead of using a full ammo bin for the AMS, i always go with just a half ton bin of AMS ammo. it is more then enough. This half ton weight saving will be better invested into armor or other ammo for the main weapons. also, if you have weigtht left to spent on your mechs, and no space left, then put some addons on your legs or arms. Keep it up!

[@trevorreniger5670]

Whenever I have extra tonnage, I search for speedy leg actuators. Gotta go fast! 😆

[@sasor1tachi]

My favorite parts of these videos are the crazy new builds. I love trying em out in my own game and getting inspired.

[@0KOrbU0]

I like the smoke. Makes the map less "sterile" if that makes sense and I also like the switching between view modes, so that you only use thermal when needed and "normal" when that is good enough. I would love to see a build where you use the continuously firing lasers that got strong the longer you had them on, but also started to generate more heat, but used on a mech that could cool enough to make them useful. I think, with the way building destruction seems to work, they would be really good at destroying bases. Probably not much else, but would still be cool to see :)

[@vincevassallo5385]

Holy crap I just unlocked the Bounty Hunter mission. Very cool scripting. It comes when you hit Level 10. After that, it looks like you get stuff every new level. Not sure, though I passed Level 11. Keep it up Bara! Hold off on the Harjel and Black Carapace as long as you can. You will need it on some of those Coyote missions - like the rank 250 duel.

[@legendsofabhaile]

Love the videos my guy, long time mechwarrior fan, first encounter was MW2: Mercs back in the dial up days. Also love watching you buy stuff like you have infinite money on and suddenly realize it.

[@deathfighter661234]

Chainsaw is literally my favorite pilot, Great voice lines on her.

[@danielzawacki4192]

Bara - you were conjecturing in the last video if the game favored the player, or if it were being "fair", as you were tearing through a lot of dangerous mechs. - I really think the game is playing fair, but there's two real advantages you have. 1: You build reasonable weapon platform layouts. For the most part, the stock layouts are built based on the tech loadouts from the tabletop game, and don't really pack all the punch they could. 2: The piloting and gunnery tactics of most AI pilots (excepting certain scripted encounters) tends to be based on a supposition of longevity and winning "the long fight" - meaning they are very much overly conservative with their ammo, heat, and other resources. You, instead, pilot like a person in combat - you unload as hard and fast as you reasonably can, selecting threats on the fly based on a priority order that is fluid and sensible, and concentrating fire rapidly to eliminate threats so there is no "long fight" for them to win.

[@Bill53AD]

Baradul nice job in Hired Steel with your Rifleman.

[@brianhechinger8715]

I wouldn't call heat vision non-immersive. If you were really in s mech in those conditions you would 100% turn on your heat vision.

[@naomy1701]

i think thag the thick smoke is immersive, burning out stuff is putting alot particles in the air, plus it makes u use ur sensors, which mechpilots should do always, considering the distance over wgich Engagements usualy take place 😅 as long as it works for u, it works for us too id say 👍

[@GaveLJorgensson]

For the Marauder, that extra ton can be an Advanced FCS at some point Also, the number of bays available in your dropship automatically increases as you add more mechs. Also - I'd rather have anti-aliasing than ray-tracing.

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I enjoyed the singing commentary!

[@alexanderkelly7907]

Nothing like watching Baradul in the morning!

[@alenvire]

The collect cantina missions for the crab and locust are driving me insane. So many parts skipped over. lol

[@FARBerserker]

Going good enough. Had Currywurst and Pommes. Now close to food coma.

[@durgan5668]

Shrug, er mediums are expensive, but it's one fight, so can always do another fight for other parts/mechs. tier 4 er medium (clan) seems worth it.

[@sansui551]

Look in to your own AMS smoking your own LRMS, ive seen it happen on my game

[@Acaios1]

5:00 Speedy leg actuators is a decent add for the extra 1t

[@WayneWatson1]

I use them in every mech build. I hate slow mechs

[@docsapper11]

There's a mob called side jobs that let's you have unlimited cantina missions. If you are interested

[@blaansarge]

how do you take such good thumnails? is there a trick to it. case i know there is a way to take pics in the game but i cant move around and get close ups like that. Great video as always!

[@JackManiacky]

Ctrl + shift + v and then you need a gamepad to move the camera around

[@blaansarge]

@@JackManiacky like an xbox controler or something?

[@JackManiacky]

@@blaansarge exactly that

[@WayneWatson1]

Baradul, you're here to kick mech butt, not have a good time with her 😉

[@michaelbarnard8529]

Keep the Jenner. Forever. Also, you didn’t pick the high tear small pulse lasers!

[@LeedsThePlanet]

Marauder? I found Marauder Baradul. 🤣

[@MisterNi]

If you still want to use that Marauder you'll probably need to pilot it or give it to a pilot with a very high evasive rating. It seems quirked to be bad by the AI.

[@MoreEvilThanYahweh]

I don't see the issue with heat vision. As it is, we still need magscan and seismic modes along with being able to combine two or more modes via sensor fusion like IRL.

[@Abband0n]

10:15 Chainsaw was the hot red head from Solaris!

[@Abband0n]

Man your upkeep is almost up to 1mill. Is that based on your total mech tonnage for your launch and the ones that are ready to get subbed in ?? A nice vision mod would be one that removes environmental stuff. Just make every battlefield daylight and sunny, no fog.

[@ChadKanotz]

I appreciate you, Mr. Dul.

[@HappyFoxtrot]

Hmm...I think smoke is fine as it is. What i would like to ask is to put unique pilots on mechs you are not piloting, so we can hear their voice lines.

[@donpfoutz625]

I do not care too much for the heat vision. The smokey battlefield is immersive enough for me.

[@artotheharlequin]

nothing like lrms in the morning

[@jamesrodes2754]

love watching the vids wish there was a way to tell lancemates to destroy the base lol

[@derpcatgaming]

It would be more efficient to drop Hester and put Chainsaw in, He is getting a bit past his prime now that you've got all these rank 60 pilots.

[@benfochs2325]

Need to stockpile AMS half ammo to optimize the AMS on everything strategy as usually have to load up with full tons of AMS ammo.

[@Genesis23OPB]

why not streamline both the marauder and jaegermech with all fitting UAC instead of mixing them with lbx?

[@1A4atheist]

I've never seen you do a quad ac2 build, surprising.

[@thebigdb1]

I keep saying it, but I think you still need to install and use the "purchase salvage" mod. That way if you run out of picks, you just flat out by the parts you want. I'm a scrapper by nature. Take the junk that I get in, and recycle it and something that I do need. Something like this I think would come in handy in the long run. Maybe not so much at first, but as things progress, you have resources that you can use. Just saying that!

[@indignantlamentation6307]

They still need to work on the AI cause everything still charges at you with no brains. A Jagermech for instance should be trying to find a fire position on you like 1km away.

[@zachsan8205]

ty Mr. Baradul

[@imblackmagic1209]

where have you seen transparent smoke, that destruction smoke shouls be thick and black, so you not being able to see through looks realistic i think the heat vision is probably ok

[@adrianmillard6598]

Hey Bara, I'm curious what your PC setup is? I'm not saying it needs to be better , but it helps to know what we're working with.

[@Baradul]

Ryzen 5950, 64GB Ram, 3080TI, M.2 SSD - hope it helps

[@adrianmillard6598]

@@Baradul My only suggestion is assigning CPUs directly to the game. Having said that, I honestly couldn't care less about an occasional stutter. I love your "show" just the way it is.! :) Thank you.

[@victorlapin2080]

Totally fine with the smoke. Also, I personally think RTX doesn't worth it

[@WayneWatson1]

Thermal is fine with me when you need to. Not being able to see what you are shooting at is just as distracting for the immersion. Thermal vision is just another tool to use so why not. Ray tracing doesn't add enough to be worth it. You moving so fast that you can't see the difference to begin with

[@mauganra2k1]

Wich mod gives the mission infos on the Galactic Map `?

[@troubledturtle2332]

Whatever is best for the performance of the game.

[@jeffreylow6701]

Herr Baradul. You probably get asked this a lot, but what mods are you running in this playthrough?

[@slate613]

He has a link to the mod list in the video description.

[@bikesnbobs]

Is it just me or was the back half of the video blank screen?

[@WayneWatson1]

Make use of those prototype cheatsinks maybe?

[@WayneWatson1]

Supposed to be heatsinks, autocorrect gone wrong

[@Thor847200]

I don't think Heat Vision is "Less Immersive. I actually think it is More Immersive. I really do believe that anyone on the battlefield would use every tool at their fingertips to give them any advantage over the enemy, and that most certainly includes Heat Vision. Another line of thinking is that we have similar tech now in the real world.... so why wouldn't they use that kind of tech 1000 years from now?

[@--kami--]

Ich würde sagen der Nebel ist zuviel . wenn ich es richtig im kopf habe gibt es nicht eine option das runter zustellen im MOD menu? das ja ne optic mod . und da gabs glaube ne % zahl und dann stellst es einfach runter von 100% auf 50%. so ist jeder happy

[@JC_R8MEOW]

Why the focus on maximising tonnage, if you have all of the gear you want and a ton left over then what's the big deal? Am I missing something here?

[@Baradul]

More tonnage means more armor on the battlefield. I like to be able to absorb some damage.

[@tonysauruswrexu4623]

If your mech has everything you want to put in it and you have some extra weight on the mech, it isn’t a big deal. Most people just fill the extra weight space with extra ammo or heat sinks after the armor is maxed out on the mech. Not filling the mech to capacity, is basically like having a half inflated balloon.

[@benfubbs2432]

Visually all your graphics settings are irrelevant to us, but when you play the entire mission in thermal vision mode it is a much less interesting viewing experience.

[@bigsarge2085]

✌️✌️

[@perry92964]

i dont think you could afford extra slots in the dropship, when its full it will cost you over 3 million cbills when the payment comes up and your always broke as it is

[@RPS34V]

try some ac 20 bf uac5 anihilator buils

[@Baradul]

for that I need an Annie :D but sure

[@trevorreniger5670]

As far as graphics, I run most missions in heat vision. It's ugly. I don't like it. But I *have* to be able to see. I'd rather see what's going on than be "immersed." I say lose the smoke and ray trace.

[@huntermad5668]

Too much smoke made viewing annoying. Thermal for foggy and hard to see situation is way better.

[@offshore33]

Not a fan of thermal vision 75% of the time.
