  • Here are 15 Tips for Combat in Mechwarrior Online. They are really aimed at beginners but could help out more experienced players potential or act as a refresher guide for players coming back to MWO.
    Mechwarrior is free to play on Steam and is an action packed robot game that has so many levels.

    Tells you to press R; Rarely presses R during the rest of the segments. xD

    16) Set up a weapon group that chainfires your lasers, so you don't overheat as much as Pitstop Head did in this video.

      Bad plan, you need right left weopons groups, but you need complete control over when and where you damage goes.

    • @ShaolinSKunk

      No, it's a great idea if you have enough buttons for it. 2 groups for left/right another purely for chainfire. I have found the extra degree of heat management invaluable in heated brawls.

      I just hit the chain fire button (remapped to ~) to give me the added Heat Management that I need while brawling. Once heat has settled back down, hit it again and ready for the next full alpha.

    A solid beginners guide to suck less. One of my complaints about MWO is that it is not a very noob friendly environment where as world of tanks having tiers of tanks means most everyone in tier 1-3 is a complete rookie (or seal clubber) and they all get to kind of learn together.

    To expand more on Tip 15, it's called "Torso Twisting".
    It's very effective in brawling. The point is to spread incoming damage to your arms, using them as shields. Losing an arm is always better than losing a torso AND an arm. When dealing with LRMs, you'd want to spread all that damage around your Mech, so rotate that torso to ensure your entire body absorbs the damage, and not just one component.

    • @Aleksandrgrc
      @Aleksandrgrc 7 років тому

      Raise arms when ur (twisted) and moving towards lrms. Lower them if your backing up. Helps cover the hit boxs a bit better.

    Also:
    - If you have a torso that was blown off...keep that torso turned towards your enemy instead of the other side. Oddly you will take less damage than if you turn the good side that still has armor. You can easily see this if you go into the training area and shoot the target mechs.
    - If you see a teammate who is moving back and forth behind cover taking shots at the enemy...Do Not stand right behind them. You may block them when they try to back up and cause them to take a lot of extra enemy fire. Alternately, this is a tactic that you can use against the enemy, to keep them from backing into cover while your team shoots the crap out of them.
    - Only shoot at the red targets. Blue and green are friendlies.
    - If you are in a light mech, always keep moving, and use the biggest engine. A slow or stopped light mech is a dead one. And, try not to run in straight lines. If you run straight at the enemy or away from them, you are an easy target.
    - If you see red or purple smoke appear...especially purple smoke...run away from it.
    - If you have a large mech with widely spaced arms like a Dire Wolf, or King Crab try to be aware of your friends. If you are zoomed in and focused on the enemy you may shoot a teammate who is closely passing on your right or left. Also, don't run in front of people that you can see are busy shooting the enemy. It's rude, and can get you accidentally shot by friendly fire.
    - This tip is only something you can do if the circumstances are right... If you are taking missile fire, try to stand behind an enemy mech so they end up getting hit by those missiles instead of you. Works great if you are in a small mech and there is a big one (preferably one who isn't interested in shooting you yet) that you can hide behind. Actually you can use an enemy mech for cover from other enemy mech's direct fire too sometimes.

  • @Derethevil
    @Derethevil 3 роки тому +1

    Another tipp. Stop firing everything at once (Alpha Striking) all the time, especially if you aren't really in a pickle. You generate ghost heat which quickly can overheat you and even kill you if you are not careful.

    #14 How do I see that zoom view? I have zoomed in max regular zoom but it's not enough when using ER weapons. Thanks.

      Miner's Treasures if u mean the scope u need to get the skill tree point to unlock it but to be honest it's worthless with lasers as lasers at long range deal no dmg

    Also: when you are back shooting a mech it can't shoot you.

  • @MadKiyos
    @MadKiyos 8 років тому +3

    I must say though, sometimes they aren't "stray mechs". You need some level of situational awareness to see why they're doing that and they might be trying to rally a push against the enemy who supposedly has a weaker position.

    • @PitstopHead
      @PitstopHead  8 років тому

      +Mad Kiyos I agree. I did say in the video unless you are scouting......

    • @MadKiyos
      @MadKiyos 8 років тому +2

      Pitstop Head Sometimes I get disconcerted with people hanging back while someone charges. You don't have to agree with their decision to do so, but ultimately the match will fair better when you support teammates, especially assaults.

    • @PitstopHead
      @PitstopHead  8 років тому

      Agreed.

  • @StarsAtNight1
    @StarsAtNight1 4 роки тому

    Dont forget to override. Standing still while beeing hit by 4 enemies isn't healthy. Better take a change and only lose an arm.

    You need to take your own advice, 6x med pulse lasers on one keybind tut tut.

      +Mighty McSwifty I hear you but I can press that 4 times with my heat tweeks on this mech - see here at my second channel. I have to be very careful given but I have had great results.
