What an AMAZING Lightning Spitter - Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries DLC: The Dragon's Gambit Episode 2

[@FARBerserker]

Camachos Caballeros. The only Mech Unit that has its scout lance lead by a mountain bike . .

[@sardaukerlegion]

And the Caballeros worked for a Kurita. So why the F are they working for FedCom?

[@silviokranzusch4741]

@@sardaukerlegion They are a Mercenary Unit. Ande the Contract with Chandrasekhar Kurita started in 3056 while the Vega Assault was in 3039.

[@sethcurlin861]

Time-wise, the Caballeros do not get hired by Uncle Chandy (Kurita) until after the clan invasion. So this is a period of history not covered in the novels. The continuous ops are a great challenge; I'm having fun trying to not only win, but keep my mechs in good condition. I've had to run mechs with serious damage just to buy time to fix my others. Thanks for the content, Baradul!

[@marksoler7338]

I had to start over after that last mission! I ran out of mechs in good repair. I made good use of the 6 month warning this time to gather godies, rep, and experience.

[@genghis288]

Whoa... I didn't know there was another DLC out until your video popped up.

[@bjorntrollgesicht1144]

Those continuous ops are fun! Can't wait to run the thing myself! The game certainly is very different from the one from the launch.

[@ratatoskrnuts6354]

I always love to see Nightstar gameplay. Pretty high up there in my favorites

[@Plaprad]

That Catapult K reminded me of one I had loads of fun with on MWO. Though I don't know if it would work here. Two Snub Nose PPC's and Two RAC-5's. Bit of cooling and lots of ammo. Loads of fun. Especially when someone comes around the corner thinking they're under-running your PPC's only to catch a double hit before the "BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM..."

[@darksuit9035]

Hadnt realized this was out already, got the dlc while watching this at work.

[@tapioperala3010]

Oh, these Dragon's Gambit DLC missions

[@johnscott6083]

Been playing along in vanilla mode...you use cover alot better than I do

[@Acaios1]

41:40 One simple fix for that is the option to buy extra salvage shares, for an (exponensial increased) amount of money.

[@MisterNi]

Okay, good video Bara. 👍

[@dehibler4811]

Just so you know, YAML and the weapon mods now work with DLC5! Though you may have to start over just to do it. Might be a cool idea to do this campaign again, but do more serious mech customization! Another side note, pay attention to the mech market between missions. You can buy fresh mechs, including a Dragon, and Charger that are Dragon Gambit special mechs!!! ALWAYS LOOK!!!! (It also is much more reasonable to go for money on these missions so you can pick these mechs up. They are not cheap!!!)

[@EverCr0ss]

Loved the new missions. Ran them first as the base game then again with mods and on boy were they fun!

[@FARBerserker]

late upload, but i am here for it!

[@mynameisray]

Man been waiting for this one!

[@Dazzxp]

I loved these missions, by the end of it all all, all you're mechs will be repairing as typically you only get 3 days between repairs including the ones you picked up as salvage lol

[@stuartharvey7677]

There is 1 good items to be found each mission its on the websight worth looking at bara

[@l.everetttalbottjr.275]

You should have said "you're fired" before pulling the trigger 😂

[@rcampbell456]

@ Baradul...Yeah the map found salvage is much better with this DLC. Happy hunting!

[@Albert87nl]

No Solider left behind lol ... some one made a type with that!

[@bushwajunior2663]

You can really increase your revenue stream by taking 1 share of damage coverage every mission, I always do this and it has proven to be a decent stream of cbills ontop of contract payouts. I 100% agree with you about the economy, I got VERY lucky as the career I plan to take into this expansion just so happens to have a reputation with Kurita at 358 (Hero), so going in I won't be having the same issues with salvage you are having here, on the flip side I only have 6 mechs and that wont cut it I don't think in this dlc, I think I need more mechs.

[@derpcatgaming]

"Sensors are clear" is more accurate.

[@TheCraftyDawg]

Ok one of these missions in this video got intense! It makes me feel like it's one of those missions in xcom where you see the difficulty as swarming.

[@therealMike1972]

Bara-Time...great

[@Goldhawk7]

Hmm, included a cool mech unit from the books. Interesting. Watch, you engage them in the future, and suddenly your mechs just go down to "irregular infantry". 😁

[@MrBadmonkeycw]

Now my brain is itching from trying to remember exactly which world some random teen spot welded a mechs knee, fighting off the caballeros 😅

[@christiankirkenes5922]

LOL I think the Marauder blew the shit out of your victor from behind XD

[@igorbukovy4313]

I think that the red color of loot crate means tier 5 weapons. And I missed that tier 5 GRs. :)

[@vikingtenfifty]

The Catapult is ok but the Battle Master is very nice. In the second to the last mission I lost the Night Star, the cockpit got destroyed and killed my pilot.

[@canny7x]

There are a total of 5 special OTOMO (that's the name of the Paint job) Mechs. That K2-S, a Battlemaster, a Hatamoto-Chi, a Charger and a Mauler. All are visually 'special' - my fav is the Battlemaster.

[@johnathonwillsey4380]

There is also a grand dragon you can get one the first planet is think

[@DIEGhostfish]

@@johnathonwillsey4380 The ERPPC one or the PPC one?

[@unseraustralien7965]

nice playthrough. I lost some mechs due to my impatience. I had to restart so many missions 😢

[@gregshimmin5334]

Nice, BaraTime!

[@zevynozevyn4102]

The red light for The loot crate it's a special loot crate there's one in every mission that you're going to do and they give level 5 weapons and gear.

[@goliath4802]

Mechs are rare and valuable of course they're going to want a lot for them especially the assault Mech even an awesome.

[@alphapu6644]

Soo, just finished with the Dragon's Gambit Campaign. Overall had a lot of fun, missions were quit challenging. Got caught completely flat-footed once when I brought a bunch of mid- to long-range mechs and the mission was tight urban ambush warfare from beginning to the end. Had to reload an earlier save to get through that one. Taking stock of my mech bay after finishing, I noticed that I do not have the Otomo Dragon variant DRG-1G(S). Did other people miss out on it as well or have I accidentaly sold it somewhere along the way?

[@nick_alderman]

Nice!

[@cyberclaw360]

27b as in a sldf ? i know in my game i never leave one of those on the field if i can help it, the perks make it to good pass ... unless it was just a mod i used that gave that

[@daksmith287]

I thought the salvage points rolled over if you didn't use them all? Maybe you could bank the extra instead of just grabbing a few random things you don't want at the end... then you could get that expensive 'impossible' salvage

[@DIEGhostfish]

There's two ways of doing multi-phase missions in this game, the version with a specific two-to-five mission chain salvage rolls over on but some of the chains used for story mode are broken up and "Technically not a chain" so it doesn't roll over but you might get 2 days to repair instead of 0.

[@perry92964]

im about to do that last mission, i have to admit i lowered the repair time cause i wouldnt have any mechs to run. im a casual player and being forced to go in light imo takes away the fun factor for my play style.

[@jedhaney3547]

Are there mods that help with the levels of salvage you can get and such? Mainly asking for ones on steam workshop unless there's a good mod manager mod from Nexus?

[@noodlesswe5687]

why do you have a small lacer when you don't bind a key to it?

[@Albert87nl]

seeing i pauzed Mw5 for quite a while.. might pick it up in winter! this level with the mixed city scape and desert is epic.. this a stock map or a VonSeiten flavor?

[@Cenot4ph]

No mods

[@mesarthim640]

I wish I was as good in long range combat ! I always miss somehow so I stay still, panick and get 'recked.

[@igorbukovy4313]

Check barracks, on 1 of the planets there are really good pilots.

[@Peyngin]

Hello Magorias!

[@igorbukovy4313]

I was forced to buy mechs from market because I was running out of mechs. :) And I played on normal difficulty.

[@JesterKru]

“Scope is clear” or “negative datum”.

[@harrylangley3866]

I swaped the standard AC2 out for burst fires. Works way better

[@FARBerserker]

now that i am thinking about it why are you fighting the caballeros? they are basically the personal merc unit of a minor kurita noble. and i mean kurita as in one of the side family lines.

[@xJamesLaughx]

Well according to Sarna they actually fought on Vega just as they are here with Snord's Irregulars as part of Task Force Blizzard against Kurita Forces. "In the War of 3039, the Seventeenth was assigned to the assault on Vega. They supported the First Grave Walkers in their task to keep the spaceport clear to allow the AFFC units an uninterrupted resupply chain.Assigned to Task Force Blizzard, the mercenaries faced off against elements of the Fifth Amphigean Light Assault Group. The mercenaries quickly seized the spaceport of Nasew and kept the DCMS forces out of the city. In response the Fifth Amphigean split into two battalions: First Battalion pinned the mercenaries in the city while the Third Battalion struck at various FedCom targets from the Great Desert of Tears. These ongoing assaults were only stopped by Snord's Irregulars and the advanced Star League electronics they possessed. The Seventeenth and the Grave Walkers were able to drive the First Battalion off world, followed shortly by the Third Battalion leaving the world"

[@SRTifiable]

Hear me out. Salvage specific components. Head, C Torso, L/R Torso, L/R Arms, L/R Legs. Until you have all the components, you can’t assemble a new mech. Scale what you need based on difficulty. Ex: Lower difficulty you just need the CT, L/R Arms and L/R Legs operating under the assumption that the L/R Torso and Head are attached to the other parts 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Clasteau]

You got kinda used to the stealth suit, right?

[@RobotYawn]

I think the correct term for nothing on sensors would be "Naked". like, not wearing anything.

[@jbuck9821]

Sensors are clear, Bara.

[@bigsarge2085]

👍

[@ToggBott]

its "Sensors are clean/clear"

[@johnreid270]

Anybody having any bugs on console? I can't get passed the first mission. When I hit depart for the second mission all I get is a black screen.

[@waynerichards3490]

Im getting the bug as we'll on ps4

[@ozjohnno]

ummm.... the phrase you are looking for is 'sensors are CLEAR

[@igorbukovy4313]

MG and flamer have highest dps in vanilla.

[@Kwisatz-Chaderach]

Noice

[@sardaukerlegion]

The Caballeros worked for a Kurita, allied to a Yakuza unit. So why the F are they working for FedCom here?

[@DevilPogoStick]

Checked Sarna, apparently it checks out that they had fought for FedCom during 3039 at Vega.

[@silviokranzusch4741]

The Kurita contract started more then 15 years later.

[@FARBerserker]

Clans should have no money at all and the ability to pick the mechs you want for salvage before the fight. And then you should have to be carefull to get them in the best condition possible and not just a stick left.

[@juangonzalez9848]

Slow in the city is bad? Have you completely forgotten hunchback and urbie doctrine? Speed means nothing in cities, big guns matter.

[@DarkAngel-ki3co]

lol, repair all is a mod? NO! when you can't recall if part of the game is a mod or not.

[@WolfKeltenich]

Komment

[@Friedbrain11]

Go play Harebrained game and leave the Piranha game as it is. You think you know the player base and you don't. Piranha has it pretty good and should not be listening to a micromanager. There are other games you can play to get your control freak thing on.

[@v4lhulme]

I disagree, the vanilla game doesn't have enough customization or detail. YAML mods is a must have to keep the game interesting past 50hrs. Also, the mission structure is super repetitive and dogshit and the AI sucks ass too. The Devs need to step up their game or pass it on to someone who can. Taking some inspiration from Chromehounds would be nice too with online PvP.
