Epic Battle in Winter Wonderland - Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Modded | YAML + Rise of Rasalhague 73

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.

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.

The TC Omni Mech variants stand for Temporary Configuration, they were geared specially for The Battle of Tukayyid. It was the conflict that Comstar used to put the Clan Invasion on hold. Essentially they are just a less common Omni Mech configuration, designed to let the 'Mechs swing into a other play styles, just with a nugget of in universe story as to why they exist.

[@Primearch-GG]

Leave it to baradul to constantly miss what he's looking for when it's right next to what he is checking...😅

[@mikewhitaker2880]

naturally, but it makes better vid i think..

[@Primearch-GG]

@@mikewhitaker2880 never said it made it worse, i laugh everytime!

[@voidpelican]

This happens in like every video =D I love Bara as a content creator but I think that boy might have some kind of learning disability

[@simohayha7032]

@@voidpelicanas someone with both a learning disability and Asperger’s syndrome (a mild to moderate form of autism) I can confirm that I would totally miss stuff like that trying to make a video both entertaining and engaging

[@voidpelican]

@@simohayha7032 Yeah I'm sure making these videos is a lot harder than it looks, especially if you struggle with some kind of disability that makes it harder to immediately pick up on a lot of dense information. These videos are still a lot of fun even when Bara misses things here and there, and as others have said that's kind of entertaining in its own way. I think we all know (at least I hope we all do) that Bara is doing his best and we're all still here watching his videos so he must be doing something right.

[@tedtunich]

Ravager turrets are those brokenly OP PPC turrets on the bases in attack and defend missions. They are very worth building, just make sure you aren't letting enemies get close or they will get taken out because they pull a lot of aggro. All turrets are worth upgrading because they also get more HP, and at level 3 they get a small auto repair function that is always active.

[@MrTalvos]

The bonus objectives like dont let a turret be destroyed is given after the wave is over it activates on.

[@trevorreniger5670]

Theory crafting and build videos are my favorite. Starting off on a good note. Like Hypa Hypa.

[@jasonhenninger8220]

Instead of spending every available point at a turret, open multiple turrets. 1 turret that does "alot" of damage is useless unless something comes in range. Set up multiple Overlapping fields of fire.

[@grayconol]

the payout can rarely be super good, my first final wave was “complete the final wave for 15 million cbills” and generally the cbill final wave reward is good

[@Cenot4ph]

For the defense mod it probably helps when they use icons instead of colors. Makes it easier to spot where goes what

[@HappyFoxtrot]

I mean... Its an aoe PPC! That is also called Party Kill. After that you stop reading the stats and by the damn thing just to test it out! 😅 Same with Light Naval PPC. Its a goddamn spaceship gun on your mech ! It amaizing by definition! You dont think about stats at this point. You only think how many you can fit there. 😊

[@WayneWatson1]

And that my friend is why you activate the ams turrets on the Stronghold missions. All those missiles

[@WayneWatson1]

That's the whole point of a decoy, they are cheap turrets that get destroyed before your weapon turrets are attacked, giving them longer to do dmg

[@jbuck9821]

I prefer the Prototype heatsink kit to the Radical Prototype kit. The Radical removes access to the heatsink spots. But the Prototype does not. The difference is (no extra heat sinks, just the 10 in the engine) 2.0 heat per second for the Radical, and 1.33 for the regular Proto. On a 300 engine, adding two cooling lines is way more hps than .67 for the Radical kit.

[@imblackmagic1209]

what removes the engine heat sinks is that is a radical double proto heat sink kit, the radical proto kit (no double) does have engine slots, the same as the regular proto kit as well

[@jbuck9821]

@@imblackmagic1209 You are correct. However, I still prefer the Prototype for two reasons. The -20% heat generation is huge (and is the main reason I use the prototype kit in the first place). The Radical does not have the reduction. Also, the proto has a higher threshold for activation and deactivation (normalization). I can push it further before activating. And if I activate it, it turns off sooner. Meaning less chance for failure/internal damage.

[@JPG.01]

On the Kaiju Build, may I suggest a build? The radical PDHS was a good idea. Since all of your firepower is in the arms, you should look for hardened ferro armor. Takes up some slots but has self repair capabilites. Costs two slots in every component so getting that last Clan ppc will be a must. Prototype heatsinks are your best friend in an energy heavy setup. The best heat is the one you don't generate and on that Kaiju... you can get that lower than 50%. 25% from the quirk, 20% from the radical PDHS-kit, 8% from protytpe heatsinks. Now an FCS modular with a BC PPC and a BC Heat for better PPC cooldown and 5% more heat reduction. An exchanger MKII will give you another 15%. Speedy Legs and Cooling jackets will make everything come together. And don't sleep on the cantina upgrades. Reduced heat spikes is an upgrade that lowers your heat generation multiplier by 0,05. So you generate 5% less heat BEFORE all your equipment kicks in. Top speed, energy damage and cooldown can take up the other 7 slots that you get on a hero 'Mech.

[@dieSpinnt]

Not that there where another 13 Clan Double Heatsinks in your Inventory (at 7:00 ) ... no way! Das sind wohl diese "Content-Creator-Tomaten" auf den Augen, wa? Hehehe Thank you for the entertaining video!:)

[@artor9175]

The payout on that tower defense wasn't great, but I love the format! Those look fun!

[@Jay-ql4gp]

The PPC Capacitor only has to be present once in any location with PPC's. I have one in each arm of my Kaiju and it works on all three PPC's in the arm.

[@WayneWatson1]

On those Stronghold defense, I park a mech at each of the 3 entrances. It helps keep things from getting into the base.

[@LoliFoxQueen]

hey bara, how about trying a challenge run when the next dlc drops? say something like lights only or mediums only. or even a fun one (albeit sometimes stressfull) im doing where you can only use crabs (king crabs being banned obviously)

[@ShadowMKII]

I've actually made a difficulty mod that I've been thinking of recommending to him. I don't know if he'd be interested in it because he wants to do a PirateTech playthrough though. Something I've thought about for a YAML or vanilla playthrough, at least.

[@LoliFoxQueen]

@@ShadowMKIIa pirate crab run would be interesting to see.

[@johnvanantwerp2791]

Probably a little late, but in the US we pronounce Muskegon as Mus-key-gun

[@WayneWatson1]

I setup all those columns around the outside of the base first. It really helps with their LOS and can hit em quicker

[@tapioperala3010]

Yeah! Like number 700 💪

[@MisterNi]

Another good MW5 video, Bara. 🙂

[@melniborne]

Excellent video Bara, just a word in upgrades you can get a 20% boost to your speed handy for your super heavies.

[@bobn812]

You NEED to get back into putting AMS in your mechs like you did in beginning of the play through (it helps).

[@jayhunter2502]

Hey mate with all these defense defend battles, you probably want to make a cheat sheet with all the colour codes depicting what they are used for

[@tyrindel]

so just fyi be very careful on endgame maps , i encountered a 200ton stealth i repeat stealth ppi mech that had 2 direct fire arrows .... i had to reload 3 times till i found him

[@Trog1odyte]

Me sitting in KCK at 90F and 90% humidity at 1000(am) thinking I’d rather be in that environment with lasers, missiles, & ballistics flying around than here right now.

[@docthorr]

Stay strong❤

[@charlesphoon]

Yes!!!!

[@darkyshooter]

winter wonderland in august 😅 okay im in

[@mikewhitaker2880]

don't think it works on the PC versions, but on tabletop, putting cooling equipment in the legs turned into OP cooling in water... i know standing in water still helps cool a mech on PC, just don't know if it stacks with heat sinks in legs or not..

[@jasonhenninger8220]

Maybe try 4 C ER PPC and 2 C UAC5 on the KJ.

[@WayneWatson1]

You really need to have a fast mech in those Stronghold mission bud. That means 100+, not 60 molasses.

[@covahredro8370]

You still have that Naval PPC, you could potentially put that into the Kaiju

[@bjorntrollgesicht1144]

2,137 mil for the PK PPC... It might be Polish.Also 21 mechs and 22 vehicles destroyed in a mission. UAC went brrr.

[@Michael_Razor]

if you can find it....play around with the shredderMG. I would love to see your reaction from that ballistic weapon.

i wish we had a winter wonderland *sweats* -.-

[@edirhC]

Dire Whale is still equipped with a destroyed HAG20?

[@SnakeX2X]

Are you covering armored core 6???

[@perry92964]

this type of mission seems like something you would do when your filthy rich for the fun but it looks like you lost money on it and you didnt make enough to cover the repairs

[@imblackmagic1209]

you gotta get those juicy exchangers, the mk2 one reduces weapon heat by 15%... it's bonkers, also the normal proto kit has engine slots, so it's better than a double kit if using pirate cooling lines, i've got a normal mech (no ppc quircks) with 6 clan ER PPC with neutral heat build up, mk2 exchanger, proto heat sinks and some cooling lines (regular cooling lines can't go into the engine slots u.u)

[@Thor847200]

PLEASE remove the Corrosive Heatsink from the PPCrab. Put in a Clan Double instead. You are just asking for your mech to be destroyed with the corrosive installed.

[@covahredro8370]

Your wasting a massive amount of points on upgrading a single turret, when for the price of those upgrades you could have deployed several more turrets massively increasing the bases firepower and turret survivability as a result.

[@SpriGgEx]

the rewards for these mission sadly is rly shit you get soo much damage and take soo much time not worth playing in the current version

[@Coyotekins]

Im working on it.

[@SpriGgEx]

@@Coyotekins Great News ALso what this mode misses is like knowing what turrets and support you have activated and what status they have. But that sounds harder to realize. Like adding the Info similar to your own squad to the HUD.
