MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Message Board  

yeah so every mission I've tried, nothing can destroy my mechs.

I have no idea what people are having issues with, but the armor shows colors in the display when hit, but never is destroyed

best,
Cal

Sadly not, the early level tutorials explain how pilots work, quote from the questionmark in the top-left corner, barracks pilot health, injury "The following situations can lead to the pilot being injured: a hit to a 'Mech's head, the destruction of any torso locations on a 'Mech, the destruction of both a 'Mech's legs or an ammo explosion in a 'Mech"

personally, my issue is with how little damage is needed to cripple a pilot, a good shot landing on your AI-pilots can incapacitate them for up to 80+ days, but THERE IS GOOD NEWS, there's a mod that reduces pilots healing time, sadly, its not steam compatible yet, so I just have 10 or so pilots on standby to switch em out when they get injured, its only an extra 100k in C-bills every 3 months or so, so I'm fine with that, considering I only keep 4 mechs out of Cold-storage, usually you'd have 2-3 spare mechs for when you take serious damage during a mission.

Steam Version
Campaign Mode
DLC installed

Trainer seems to be working ok, at least options 1 and 2. There IS a SMALL glitch with the armour cheat, it seems to be working on MOST armour locations with the exception of the 3 rear areas Right Rear Torso, Left Rear Torso and Center Rear Torso.

For Caliber, not sure how familiar he is with this game as I know they are doing half dozen+ trainers / day, so that's a lot of games to cover - but when playing you'll see 2 mech images in the lower left screen, the left most on is your front armour and the rightmost one is your rear armour view.

I think it is only affecting the armour and maybe not the internal structure but I need to test more to confirm that.

This would also example the small repair bills that you get.

Easiest way to test is when in a game either let something shoot you ion the back or probably even eassier walk into something that explodes, vehicle or an explosive fuel tank etc, you should end up with a small amount of damage only in the rear which is not auto regenerating.

I can confirm the back armour glitch on GOG version as well. However, the internal structure seems to be holding fine and not breaking, so the mech is still invincible.

Also, an interesting side effect of trainer not matching the game version is the infinite ammo option only works for ballistics, and not for chemical lasers and missiles.

The colour on the display changes, but a quick check on the trainer's editor page shows the armour still at full.

A quick check after combat and you have returned to your dropship shows damage to the mech that does have to be repaired.

I've already filed an update notification, but I also noticed last night that the infinite jump jet option actually makes it such that the jets' fuel is used faster, like almost instantly. That along with the infinite ammo not working for missiles (at least the LRMs I tried).

Positive vibes to the team and to Caliber in particular for this trainer. You guys are awesome.

When i use unlimited armor somtimes after a mission my teams are injured for 60+ days
