Let's get some Assault Mechs! - Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries Modded | YAML + Rise of Rasalhague 33

[@robbielex]

34:48 Bara backs his mech right on top of a mech going critical: Sees damage hit his whole mech at once: "I am attracting a lot of fire"

[@1Scimetar]

As soon as you started looking at the black knight in the mechlab and commented you wanted a bigger engine in the knight, I remembered that you were also wanting to downgrade the 320 engine core in the zeus, so my question is why not strip the engines out of those two mechs and swap them? I just think that it's obvious to slot the zeus' engine into the black knight's chassis and vise versa, since the default engine in the knight is a 300.

[@Socrates21stCentury]

Hero Black Knight FTW ... no way you pass that up !!!

[@HappyFoxtrot]

I would totaly buy a Black Knight and I am glad you did ! My policy is - always buy mechs you like, no matter tonnage. It brings more builds, more variety, more fun. :-) Finding a proper difficulty mission is not a problem really. :-)

[@jaksilver3656]

The Knight may only be 75t, but properly built it can punch well over it's weight class. Also I'd definitely swap the Knight engine with the Zeus engine.

[@jerehelenius523]

Bara: "i´m atracting lot of fire" walks backwards straight to black lanners engine crit explosion lol alos Bara: "how did warrior shoot him through roof?" UAC10 urbie and tank shot him from front lol nice to get that partisan 2 black knight they are pretty good for their tonnage and pack punch lol

[@alexanderlocke7208]

Don't forget that when you do a multi mission, that you can carry over your salvage points to each tier. I was able to salvage 2 heavy and assault fully

[@ownall15]

I've been playing lately and I found an insane build for the dire wolf. 10 AP gauss (5 in each arm) with a targeting computer mk 8 and adv ballistic fcs. Something like 200+ dps in the instant action and that's with t1 ap gauss riffles. I can't even begin to imagine what that looks like with t5 gauss and upgrades from the cantina. AP gauss deal 3dps for .5 tons which is honestly really high damage per tonnage.

[@belliott538]

Timber: Dual Clan Gauss, 2 Clan Large Lasers, 3 Clan ER Small Lasers… all Tier Five Weapons. A Brutal Death Machine.

[@Baradul]

I assume ferro and endoe. But what engine size?

[@belliott538]

​@@Baradul Sorry I had to wait to respond until I returned home and logged into MW5… And I Miss Remembered the Load Out. It’s as follows… MCII-1: Endo, Ferro, Clan 360 XL, Dual Gauss, Dual LRM 10’s, Four ER Medium Lasers, Two Jump Jets Class 1, Four tons Gauss Ammo (44 shots each), Two tons LRM Ammo. Weapons all Clan Tier Five.

[@TurudesRavenholt]

TSM, max armor, supercharger, hardened armor if possible, 2x Speedy Leg Actuators and whatever hot lasers you can get to keep your heat up. Run the melee weapon, put an arena fist on the other hand, and find a melee gyro + speedy leg actuators. Profit.

[@WayneWatson1]

I tried out those asrm6s and I prefer my dual heavy mrm40s. They do a LOT more damage. Yea, you have to keep it on target as you fire but it can also deal damage to multiple mechs when they are grouped up

[@dehibler4811]

Hey Bara. Buy all hero mechs, outfit with clan tech. It is WELL worth the investment. Even lighter assets would be cool to see! Also if possible, hunt clan assaults. Dire Wolf, Blood Asp, Mad Cat MKII, they are all valuable assaults that will bring heavy gunnery to your fights. Highly suggest hunting more clans!!

[@jtd8719]

SRM Streak Ammo Clan in the loot table from the 1st mission. FYI.

[@Seranov]

That Black Knight is actually really good, and if you put in Arena Fists instead of a hatchet, you have plenty of space and weight to give it firepower on top of all the melee equipment. Good ol' rock-'em-sock-'em robots playstyle but still can shoot stuff.

[@derpcatgaming]

Slap that Mk8 targeting computer on your shiny new Black Knight, replace the PPC with a Large Pulse Laser, and you'll be in business. And a surprisingly good armor upgrade is Quikscell Duralast. It's really cheap compared to hardened or black carapace, gives +20% armor, and -5% damage taken. The only downside it has is it requires 1 crit slot in each location including the head.

[@Skakim4tk]

If I remember... You may have enough stone rhino parts...

[@2akratos637]

I’m obsessed with this game and your videos

[@perry92964]

you keep saying ehhhh im looking for assault mechs but your doing the missions 100 tons under and using a jager mech!

[@markanderson6125]

Hey Bara just a reminder to make sure to check the blackmarket AFTER a mission so you can buy the goodies you didn't get in salvage.

[@RincetheWind]

That Beachhead Defence could have netted you 24mil cbills.

[@MisterNi]

Building the Direwolf DWS-C is probably the build to get. Prime configurations tend to be more energy focused which isn't great as primary weapons with a Dire. 🙂

[@patriotjedi530]

Contrary to the item description, you don't NEED a Clan Dbl HS kit in your engine in order to install Clan dbl hs. There is also no difference in stats between the IS and Clan versions.

[@rjabba88]

Difference is slots taken though

[@m.zavatskiy]

He need it, because of the mods, it's just doesn't allowing to place another type of heatsinks 😀

[@jkuntz667]

Thank you for the video series. I really enjoy the build sections. It scratches my nerd tech brain. It is very kind of you to do the videos in English. What mouse do you use? You mentioned you have a 3D printer for minis. 2) Can you share the model? I assume you have it in your residence, doesn't it have to be vented to the outside?

[@williamlawson3039]

Hey Barabrother, you could turn your Jagermech into a chainsaw, put the two rac 5 into them and maybe a rac 2 to go along with if you have it, or put clan er large lasers to go with it.

[@Friedbrain11]

UAC5 and 10 are the cats meow :)

[@Jay-ql4gp]

I think it was the Tempest Archer I put jump jets on. It was interesting. And lots of fun!

[@artotheharlequin]

dire wolf and stone rhino hunt

[@bradhedgehog12]

I hope Intersphere mechs can take Clan Weapons. That’s what makes em more deadly

[@foobar1735]

Gotta love having a missile cooldown quirk... on a mech that doesn't have any missile slots >.>

[@necrolok]

yes get it when would it come up again?

[@Christhulhu]

I would love to see the racs shredding on the timber :D But maybe a pair of RAC/2s wpuld work as well. i run them in my hellbringer and boy, they punish everything in my way. and the heat management is way better as in the RAC/5s. So maybe give them a try! I keep some crit slots, some weigt, some heat and they also have still a decent range and damage! :3

[@unclebulgaria2105]

Gotta catch em all

[@maximilianschultz8244]

Maybe the modders just stacked two HAG20’s per arm and that’s equivalent to a HAG40.

[@jameslincoln4154]

You might want to farm those exploration missions for mech parts … you will have tons of salvage shares and lots of interesting mechs that will be thrown at you …

[@andybridges3212]

awesome B keep up the great work

[@timothyhansen6581]

Not sure why you'd want a Clan Double Heatsink Kit rather than a regular one. The only difference I've seen between IS & Clan Doubles is that the Clan ones take one less slot per, but when you're dealing with the heatsinks in the engine that doesn't matter.

[@docthorr]

Because he has a mod that forbid heat sink mix and match. So if you want to use clan heatsinks, you need the kit that suits it

[@timothyhansen6581]

@@docthorr I am aware of that. I use the same mod. That doesn't have any bearing on what I said. IS Double Heatsinks & Clan Double Heatsinks sink the same amount of heat. The only difference is the amount of space each takes up outside the engine. So, the only reason to use a Clan over an IS is if your weapon systems &/or the ammo for same take up too much space to use the IS ones. I do have a game going where I have the YACW mod going but NOT the Heatsink Kits, & there I've mixed the two when tetris'ing out how much heat dissipation I was going for, but that's different.

[@timothyhansen6581]

@@docthorr The only reason I mention it is because IS Doubles are far more common than the Clan ones - especially if you use the mod that puts InnerSphere Omnimechs into the game. They're chock full of IS Double Heatsink kits & Structure Endos.

[@docthorr]

@@timothyhansen6581 OK, sorry I missed your point there ;)

[@Baron-Ortega]

Never been a massive fan of Zeuses i dont know why. They are perfectly good mechs.

[@stevensavage9491]

As a Zeus fan I can attest... The best guns are in the arms. Arms fall off.

[@indignantlamentation6307]

Something seems wrong with the Zeus hitboxes cause you were getting hit in the back from the front. 15:30

[@FELONIOUSBOLUSS]

any plans to add superheavy mod?

[@rhyuza5918]

WOAW! what mods do i need to get a direwolf!

[@docthorr]

Partizan 2 is so cool. My first heavy for my last run, with TSM it smashes. But I had it earlier... so I dont know.

[@Genesis23OPB]

i would reduce the one asrm6 on the archers arms to asrm4 and put some lasers on it to 1. kill flyers without wasting shittonns of ammo and 2. as a backup, as said ammo is limited. ERSL would suffice i bet

[@bikehunter82]

Put all the mods in, but playing campaign for my first playthrough... all of this high level stuff, is it in the other mode? The Clan one?

[@christopherrankmore1238]

Hey I know you don’t like playing all the cantina missions but it would be cool if you can unlock all available upgrades

[@Cenot4ph]

They're just percentage upgrades, nothing much to see

[@quinnfable2694]

What mods are you using?

[@michaelernst3731]

It would be very good IF one of the Moders can make a Goliath as a mech that is compatible with YAMAL (Crosses Fingers)

Id buy black knight hero its still a black knight

i haven't played this game in years.

[@zoddstyxxx7091]

Hi Mechwarriors, I need some help - I have the same mod pack including YAML Clan mech and equipment, but I don't see any clan equipment in the markets. It is 3050 - so is it early or mb I'm doing something wrong?

[@morganacole]

Maybe take the Death Wish. It's the 5th time you've found it

[@DocWhoMuise]

what is wrong with cooling lines? he has them.

[@chrispittom9169]

It is great being able to store a mech with a custom loadiut, but I recently did this with my King Crab after spending 4 million upgrading it with teir 3 lbx10 in the arms and teir 5 lrms and srms and when i went back to it, the build had reverted to default hero build and all the weapons i had installed were lost. Very annoying

[@dieSpinnt]

I switched that function off (YAML settings, Mod Options). You can always use the "SAVE/LOAD LOADOUT" option when building a mech in the hangar[1]. That way you don't have to be a "hoarder". I mean in the late game money isn't that of a problem and if we are honest(my opinion/view) ... you mostly do NOT revive the mechs you put into cold storage anyway. P.S.: Lets not discuss my play style and the actual reason behind the decision to switch that option off. Also I shouldn't have used the term "hoarder", because my current 1200+ mechs in cold storage speak for themselves, hehehe. I am just to lazy to keep the ship clean or immediately make the housekeeping after getting loot. I like my little "100Million Weapon Upgrade Sessions" from time to time;) Also I should really do a spring cleaning! Its getting laggy here ... Hehehe. I wish you a good game, no more bugs/accidents with space-rats stealing your beloved equipment and big fun playing, Mechwarrior Chris!:) [1] That does work wonderful when duplicating builds, but has also some problems and doesn't work from time to time. I additionally make screenshots and keep them as little setup books in f.e. One-Note. If you ask me, building a mech with one click may be time saving, but for my part, I like designing and fiddling the most in that game, hehehe. So I like doing it myself by hand.

[@nicholasrecord6502]

What's gonna happen to MechWarrior Online now that MechWarrior 5 is out?

[@slate613]

There is no actual difference between the IS and Clan dbl heatsink kits. Both 1 crit slot, efficiency 0.2, and capacity 2.0. Which I find odd since like 99.9% of anything Clan is better than it's IS counterpart.

[@trevorreniger5670]

I hate how many salvage points if takes to get clan ammo. Lol! IS Mag-Shot? 1 point. Clan SRMs? *20 GODDAMN POINTS AND YOUR FIRSTBORN!*
