Jayden’s character system mainly includes the following contents:
【1】Melee (increase melee damage)
【2】Energy weapons (increase the attack range of energy weapons)
【3】Dodge (increase the chance of dodge)
【4】Missile cooling (reduces the cooling time of missile launch)
【5】Control (improve the control ability of the mecha to make it easier to operate or more flexible)
【6】Ballistic weapon cooling (increase the shooting cooling time of machine gun weapons)
Other teammates will also have similar six character abilities.
They gain experience points based on their performance on the battlefield.
You can also upgrade their character abilities.
In addition to actual combat, you can also safely increase your character experience by participating in training and trials in the barracks system.
Mecha System (Mecha Room)
Here are all your current mechas.
You can freely edit, color and modify it.
Modified mechas mainly include three types of ammunition, weapons and armor pieces.
You need to pay attention to the needs of each link of the mecha, and confirm that the final load of the mecha does not exceed the current maximum load value.
Upgrade system (Science Laboratory)
The science laboratory is a place to improve the performance of various mecha hardware.
It contains three parts: "Research", "Chip Upgrade" and "Chip Milestones".
Research
After each level, you will be rewarded with "research experience points", which can be used to help you conduct scientific research.
Research takes a certain amount of time and requires a certain number of scientists.
In the early stage, you can study some simple topics to permanently improve the performance of your mecha.
In the middle and later stages, you need to upgrade your research equipment and increase the number of scientists so that you can unlock high-level research topics.
Chip upgrade
Chip upgrade is used to improve the overall performance of the mecha, but this is for a specific model.
You need to consume "mecha experience points" to improve the parameters of these functions, which mainly include movement speed, various steering maneuverability, etc.
Mecha experience points can be obtained by completing level tasks.
Chip milestone
Complete the challenge missions corresponding to the mecha and obtain additional mecha experience points to unlock.
In addition, completing corresponding milestones will also unlock higher-level functions of the mecha.
Equipment system (store)
The store mainly contains three types: "Mecha", "Weapon" and "Equipment".
Mecha
You can buy various fighter prototypes from the market, which also requires consuming K coins.
However, at the beginning, only ordinary mechas were available on the market, and they were expensive.
Mechas can be divided into four types: light, medium, heavy and assault.
In the early game, there are only light and medium types. Generally speaking, the lightweight type is better at fighting quickly and has good maneuverability.
Medium-sized mechas are slightly bulkier, but have higher armor and average attack power.
Heavy mechas are very bulky, move slowly, have the highest attack power, but have the worst maneuverability.
Assault mechas combine the advantages and disadvantages of light and medium mechas.
Weapons
There are a large number of weapons that can be purchased in the arsenal, and you need to consume K coins to do so.
K coins will be obtained by completing certain tasks.
Weapons are divided into ballistic weapons, energy weapons, etc. according to their types.
Equipment
The equipment in the game is mainly divided into two types: ammunition and armor pieces.
You can buy various types of ammunition from the store. Ammunition and weapons are similar to mechas and are also divided into multiple levels.
Generally speaking, the higher the level, the higher the damage, but the more expensive the price will be.
The function of mecha pieces is to provide additional defense value for your equipment.
Generally speaking, the heavier the armor, the higher the defense value, and the higher the mecha load required.
Whether it is ammunition or mecha pieces, they will be constrained by weight. Therefore, in the early and middle stages of the game, upgrading your mecha and increasing its load-bearing capacity are the top priorities for development.
Mission system
"MechWarrior 5: Tribes" uses similar missions to advance the progress of the entire game.
Some tasks include the main plot of the game, but most tasks are basically similar and are used for players to upgrade and gain experience and materials.
In the mission preparation interface, you can debug your weapons and equipment assembly team.
Select the team of people you want to join (usually a team of 5 people), and then the mission will begin.
Later in the mission, pay attention to the mission target in the upper left corner of the screen, and go there to eliminate the enemies or complete the investigation.
At the end of the mission, you must ensure your own survival.
In this way, you can get various experience rewards, such as personal experience points, mecha experience points, research points, etc.
Using the rewards you obtain, you can continue to upgrade your characters and mechas in the hangar to make them stronger to cope with the next more difficult mission.
