- The new Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries DLC "The Dragon's Gambit" has arrived. Let's take a look at all the gameplay aspects, story, new Mechs and weapon systems together. In this playthrough we will start a new career as a Mechwarrior thrown int o a conflict against our will.

In the aftermath of the Fourth Succession War, the Davion/Steiner Alliance dealt a devastating blow to the Capellan Confederation, leaving First Prince Hanse Davion eager to replicate this success against the Draconis Combine.
Gunji-no-Kanrei Theodore Kurita, fully aware of the encroaching menace posed by the FedCom Alliance, has taken decisive action to fortify the Combine's defenses against an inevitable war. As tensions rise, a unique opportunity presents itself - to unite with the Draconis Combine and rally behind Kurita's audacious and unexpected plan.
Embark on an epic quest line as your mercenary company joins forces with the 5th Amphigean Light Assault Group. Together, you must defend the Draconis Combine against a massive invasion by the FedCom Alliance. Brace yourself for the largest handcrafted campaign yet, spanning 15 thrilling missions, and prove your mettle in the face of this formidable threat as you strive to safeguard the future of the Draconis Combine.
The gameplay of Mechwarrior 5 is split in two different parts. On the one hand you will have to manage your resources, hire new crew members, outfit your Mechs and travel through the Inner Sphere star map. But the action starts as soon as you get into the cockpit of your Battlemech yourself to fulfill contracts on the battlefield to earn more C-Bills and progress the story. I will review the weapon systems, battlemechs, show you how to build the loadouts and train your pilots and take a look at all the different mission types and upgrades of the MW5 Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC.

Nice to see a return to this series and the mods really do change it up. Also, after the previous video, the Crusader did a great job in managing the group fight, even with its range limits.
LMAO, this is the best comment of all time xD
Hi Baradul!! Be careful around the Empress Legion mechs and gear. She designed that mod because the Clan Invasion Pirate gear didn't go far enough for her. It can be fairly... intense.
Glad you enjoy the scrap weapons! They are very efficient and have a ton of ammo to bring a lot of damage, as long as you don't care where that damage goes. Also, hot. Very hot. Since it's chunks of scrap and not bullets, they do extra damage vs buildings but do 20% less against mechs. To be effective you've really got to jam that gun in the enemy mech's face.
Look out for the biggest scrap weapon; The "Scrapper". It fires the entire ammo bin in one shot. It also breaks itself when it fires so don't miss.
Looks like you could make an interesting tank build with max armor, scrap cannon, MRMs, and something to throw heat (flamers, etc). Maybe a pin point damage weapon instead of the heater.
Imagine being that cyclops pilot at: 14:20 and having the Crusader that just shut you down calmly walk up, carefully aim his flamer right at your cockpit, and roast you alive. Woof.
Coyote posted the locations for the ASF missions in the comments section of his mod on nexus, so you can look for whichever is closest and go for it. The ones to get the Strikers are ridiculously hard though, so start with an Interceptor and then try a Multirole to see how you do.
Have to be ready for the fact that the ASF missions can be very damaging to your own lance. From my experience if your pilots aren't high enough level you're going to lose parts if not whole Mechs.
@@peppermill7163 Yup, the missions get more difficult in the order of Interceptor-Multirole-Striker. Coyote wanted them all to be very tough, but also wanted light mechs in the Interceptor mission so he had to tone the difficulty way down so they'd actually show up. The way difficulty is handled in vanilla just seems to be "Want it harder? Throw heavier mechs at the player"
Bara you want a crazy challenge? I have all the same mods as you btw. Add the stacked crates go to options and make it so that they only have a small percentage for tier 5 weapons and star league Crates as low as a percent as you can go and try an infiltration mission. That plus the advanced career start will give you a run for your money adds about 3-4 defender mechs at every crate per mission. There is no way to stop the alarm from triggering.
Glad too see Deadraisers and My mod getting out there. Always good to see.
Exotic inner sphere mechs is another mech pack you should check out!
Man i have missed this series
An idea for the modders: In every career, we always go for the quests that give a guaranteed (and also good) hero mech (King Crab, Archer, etc).
If you can modify the end reward system, how about this:
1)Apart from the heroes of inner sphere, every other DLC`s final mission, should be giving a hero mech as an end reward.
2)Also, completing each warzone's story missions, apart from the usually "meh" end rewards, they can have a 20% to give a rare mech as end reward, and a 5% a hero mech. So, one in four such story missions completed will give you a mech, and if you roll a natural 20, it`s a hero mech!
Weight class of the mechs similar to the difficulty level of the warzone.
or 20% and 10% (coz 5% might be too low)
You can edit the settings of Stacked Crates to not obliterate the economy. But yeah, getting 6 mechs in one cache was insane when on default settings.
This. I suggested that mod simply because the default loot is beyond useless garbage, with stacked crates you can have no mechs in loot crates, no lostech in loot crates but at least expand the loot list to include items added by mods and some ammo with any weapon drop as well so the loot isn't just another tier 2 light rifle with no ammo.
Furthermore rare crates like lostech are also guarded by a lance of assault mechs so you might pick up one Gauss rifle early but you're going to lose a fight badly in the process early game when you only have mediums so it doesn't really break the economy. IMO all the clan mechs that give you early access to ferro and endo and XL engines break the economy far more.
@@benfubbs2432 -- I play with the Stacked Crates mod. Really like it but would be bad for Bara in these videos. Even configured so as not to drop Lostech they're high enough value to make you want to cover the whole map collecting them. Lots of "walking simulator" action. IMO it's contrary to his fast high action style for these.
I love the guard lances on the crates. They give you real choices to make
@@peppermill7163 I think you're talking rubbish if the mod is configured to drop loot identical to the base game then it won't change any gameplay aspect at all.
You probably play it with a relatively high drop rate and with all the map markers revealed which is why YOU play a walking simulator, I play it with extremely rare drops and n map markers and in my game it is definitely not worth walking around looking for loot on the off chance I'll get an extremely rare drop.
Furthermore the mod can be configured to reduce the time it takes to loot (or increase if you're into that) and it also has an option to allow your lancemates to pick up loot so there is an option to help keep gameplay "fast paced" by not having the player stop and stand around picking up loot.
In summary the mod can be configured to not change the balance of the base game's economy while making gameplay more fast paced.
Or, what I suspect you have done, be configured to break the game and make loot crates so valuable and rare drops so common that it is worth scouring the map for them.
@@benfubbs2432 -- Sounds like you know the mod much better than me. I started with the defaults and have slowly dialed back the value of the crates
That crazy crate default settings got fixed in the recent update
I love the mods on this game, they are very well executed and offer a lot of additional content to explore. I was thinking of a stone rhino with 4 scrap cannons or scrap rifles just sandblasting everything. With those frame bonuses a royal jump jet would be great on the Timby. Great episode as always, thanks for the hard work.
Stone Rhino Prime with 2 scrap cannons and 3 m chem lasers deletes everything...get in close on mechs and watch the parts fly off lol...also great against flyers and on demo/scorched earth missions.
Stacked Loot Crates Mods is very configurable, just and FYI. It does allow faster money income if you let it, though you can adjust it down to where its much more economy friendly. Plus letting lance mate AI grab loot crates there are near is pretty good. Also for the special loot crates like Star League ones, you can set how many guardians there are making it pretty tough fights to get them if not careful. Seeing how they can spawn on low lvl runs and having up to 8 mechs guarding a crates of that type with advanced weapons. Yeah you can get really nice items, but you'll have to manage incoming damage to do so, meaning while you may get more loot, getting to said loot isn't always to easy, sometimes its VERY difficult and costly.
Far as weapons types, I can't wait to see you running Rotating Pulse lasers, thats 3 medium pulse lasers is a Ultra Canon setup, doesn't jam, but Heat can get crazy to manage if you like to pin the trigger down.
That Scrap Canon is absolutely ridiculous but I suppose fits for how ridiculous pirate weapons are supposed to be. 😄 Although I will say your Crusader build is also a bit derpy as well. Good video otherwise Bara. 🙂
Good luck with looting any Aerospace fighters. They are HEAVILY guarded!!!
Thanks for show casing the mods. I was wondering if I should use some of them, o7
For a helpful economy mod that I don't feel is too unbalanced there's Purchase Salvage: it allows you to use more picks in the post-mission salvage screen in exchange for money.
Sometimes, I wish you could salvage the wrecked mechs left as scenery in some missions. Specifically for this video, near the start of the raid mission, there was a purely decorative wrecked mech that I think looked a lot like a Fafnir. This 100-ton assault mech mounts a double-heavy Gauss rifle as the primary weapons system, one gun in each side torso. It was also designed and built in the first decade after the Clan invasion, as it was introduced in MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries.
We will certainly get to the Fafnir in the late game. Regarding the salvage. I think of it more like the contract between the employer and my mercenary company. They basically "own" everything on the battlefield already.
@Baradul I know, but I was wishing that if that was a fafnir, it would show up in the savage list. I'm pretty sure I've also seen kodiaks, the 100-ton clan non-omni mechs that have a definite bear aesthetic, also dropped in as ground decorations.
To keep your upkeep costs down, throw the broken mechs and mechs that you aren't using into cold storage. yes, you'll have to pat to re-equip them, but it should save you a lot of money.
Glad you post again! Keep it up
Stacked crates doesn't break the economy, it's customisable so you can make the economy even harder by setting rare loot to spawn even more rarely, or never. Don't want mechs to spawn, turn that setting off. Don't want lostech to spawn, turn that setting off. want rare weapons to spawn more rarely, set it so they have a one in a million chance to spawn.
The point of the mod is that it also allows items from mods to appear in the crates, so you can set options so the economy is exactly the same as before but at least you won't be stuck with the garbage items from the base game as the only loot.
Also note that if you do set a 1 in 1000 chance of lostech in a crate, the mod adds a lance of mechs to guard it so when you do happen to get a rewarding loot drop you'll also have to put up a fight before you can salvage it.
That Crusader is really cool.
King crab car with the quad uac/5s can cockpit anything without having to damage it much just cause of the crits. I feel invincible in that mech.
love your content baradul i just picked up mw 5 a month ago and your content helps me optimize my builds thanks and have fun dude!
Haha go figure, I just made a video today about mods and you start off your episode talking about new mods you added. I have thought about using lance mate status mod but it makes the hud a bit busy and would get in the way of my cam where I like to put it on the screen. Seems you are using a couple mods I do not have, looking forward to seeing them in action.
Super hard missions to get the fighters. I'm looking forward to you discovering them.
looks like the Scrap Cannon gets ammo back from the loot salvage on map.
the Scrap weapons are sandblasters. just a few shots from the cannon will open up anything. try a cluster of Scrap Guns. I have a Swayback with 3 and it is headshot capable.
Ohhhh man I have been playing tons on the pirate mechs stuff. We got the PPlord king crab and Marauder. Absolutely broken lol😅
Twin scrap cannons against the gunship horde would be fun. PC melting, but fun.
@7:20 "We need some heat here mon, we need some heat!"
By the way, thank you for telling me about Yet Another Legendary Mech. That was one I didn't have. Of course, now I have to start all over again, but I was going to anyway.
Baradul will be singing in the next episode: "It's gettin' hot in here, I am taking all your Mechs" 😅
Coyote Mission pack adds a lot of fun. But the fighters are a bit overpowering. "Swarm of Igors spawn. Call in fighter. All Igors gone."
destroy convoy missions are like that. tab a button and you get the convoy position, and by the time you get to them, 3+ are dead.
Good to see you back on MW5
Glad to see this back :)
Igor with a flying AC20?
THAT is just nasty x.x
Hello, around 15 min, you were saying crusader could drop heatsink - You were shooting only 2 out of 3 clan srms, 3rd was in no weapon group, i think with that extra 6 missiles, you would have some heat issues :-)) Maybe you missed, maybe you set that up before - i encoutered bug (similar mods) with my clan srm build for whatever reason with every new mission, weapon groups were bit messed up
Take a look at Mech Delivery. I think it would be a well balanced mod for you. It also doesn't break the economy!
Two more mods for you:
Yet Another Weapon Emporium, because it gives you things like Grenade Launchers, Chain Guns, Gatling Guns, & Light, Normal, & Heavy Gauss Machine Guns.
FrankenMech Foray, because it gives you a whole slew of really crazy mech mashups. Including the Vinegaroon, which is a mix of Annihilator & Nightstar with some other parts added. It's 100 tons with a Ballistic & Energy mount in each arm, 2 each of all 3 weapon types in each side torso, & a Ballistic/Energy hardpoint in its head, which the "Whip Scorpion" Quirk gives you 6 slots in so you can even put an AC-10BF in it without having to split it. The Desperado is a headless Battlemaster that, if you use Tier-V Large Chemical Lasers with the Upgrades that give you faster reload time for Energy weapons, you can have Large Chem Lasers that fire at 292rpm. There's one that's based off of a Stalker that gives you +50% ammo for missile weapons, & the Canary is a 20 ton Mech with 4 Ballistic, NINE Energy, & 2 Missile Hardpoints. I managed to get all of the hardpoints fitted with weapons on that thing, but it took a bunch of Clan weapons to make it happen.
(If anybody cares, it was:
4 Light Machine Guns (C)
8 ER Micro Lasers (C)
1 ER SP Laser (C)
2 MML-3's
Clan Armor Ferro
Clan Structure Endo
Clan XL Engine
Class 090 Engine)
And then, there's the Athodyd. Part Champion, it has 4 Ballistic & 4 Energy hardpoints, but it's real Claim to fame is that it doesn't have any armor on its arms - but has a lot of structure there, to compensate - & while it can't jump high - getting literally zero lift - it's Quirks make it able to fly quite far - & fast, getting up to nearly 400kph. And when you have lasers whose damage is increased by a % of your speed, going nearly 400kph can make those lasers REALLY pack a punch!
So, there's a lot of stuff in the FrankenMech mod for you to check out.
YAWE was literally in the list he read at the start. Frankenmech Foray apparently has a few compatibility issues.
@@phforNZ I don't remember him mentioning Emporium, but I'll take your word for it.
As for FF, what compatibility issues? Because I've been running it for months without an issue - as long as I'm using YAML. Now, if there's an issue with it being incompatible with Pirate or MercTech, that might be something. But personally, from what I've seen I'd rather have FF than either of those.
He said companion instead of Emporium. It's in the workshop collection anyway. But yeah I think one of the mods he's running has a few issues from FF eating hardpoints on a couple of mechs.
Baradude i Highly recommend the Commander Quirks mod. its made by Chozo4, that way Commander Mason is as good as the other skill 60 pilots.
Crowd control for the win! The Plasma Rifles have become a favorite because of heat and damage at range.
Scrap cannon for the win! 😄
The battle gird feature is great for stuck mechs or maps with alot of obstacles to navigate your lancemates around it
Baradul, don't sell the Nova, it's really powerful if you stack 12 tier 5 flamers on it and get the heat sinking to 3+.
Some of those big scary mechs like to drop with the fancy armor and gyros that give a hefty amount of damage reduction, it can be fairly scary
I always hear you say my name during missions lol
Baradul the Mech Master :)
i cant wait for MW5 CLANS, ive never really been a fan of IS mechs cant wait to get official clan mechs and not mods for clan mechs, ive been playing MW3 prob my fav game
Heyo I just got my mech 5 working after realizing that the mods I had weren’t updated due to the game and kept it crashing but now that I’ve fixed it and downloaded some of the mods you’re using I’ve gotta ask, which mod adds the Mackie? As for some reason I can’t seem to find it
Becket:"Finally"
Btw with ASF upgrades you can get them from resource missions their super random with what you get
I'm still going through the newly added mods and can't seem to find the setting/the one that frees up the mouse on the battle map to click and give commands to lancemates. I have the new lancemates one installed for the paper dolls but on the battlemap the mouse continues to rotate and elevate my torsos
Nevermind just found it - BattleGrid orders wasn't on the steam list yet when I updated.
Hahaa.. that was fun!
What settings do you use for YAML for tanks HP and attack?
One of the SRMs in the crusader isnt part of a weapons group
yeah I just was about to say that
If you can find a 100T mech and slap Dual scrap canon on it, you can destroy any 100 ton mech with 1 alpha strike, juss'sayin
Solaris 7 this will be good 😈
scatter guns are fun... 🙂
Jeeeeiiii
Rating !
they really shoulkd add elementals that would be fun
Hallo. welchen Mod muss ich mir runter laden um die Clanmechs zu bekommen? oder ist das überhaupt ein Mod
I use the plasma cannons for heat shut down it uses plastic ammo lol.
If you haven't already, go to Terra and get Coyote.
Put your assembled broken mechs in cold storage! Ugh it was sad to see your monthly costs jump up when you assembled the timberwolf. LOL I think it would strip your weapons off anyway if you did it right?
vonbiomes is pretty laggy, not a too many mods issue. The lag spikes during spawn that happen with coyote and YAML is but why do modded if both of those are not installed (or merctech as an alternative to YAML) imo
Looks like the smaller Scrap Can(I'm not allowed to use that word or my comment gets deleted because UA-cam)non versions might be better.
The Problem with those mods is the imbalance... That Timberwolf was more powerfull then the entire Assult Lance before.
Baradul in mwo test rhino 3x lbx 20 and uac20 is more fun best regards
In the description your link to Empress' Legion points to 3D HUD
You don't have a link anywhere (even in your Steam mod collection) for Battle Grid Orders
Thanks! Fixed it!
The ASF are the greatest thing ever added via a mod. BUT use caution. the rating it gives for difficulty is OFF. i did one for a rating of like 30. dropped in 3 black knights and a crusader only to get hit by like 25 assault mechs. got my engine destroyed by a crab that just walked up out of NO WHERE.
Woo-hoo ... first!!!
Someone should make a mod that removes the salvage negotiation, and replaces it with a loot cash on all destroyed enemies.
can u do a MW online MRM Catapult build pls?
What are you sinking about?
Try planetary conditions
Baradul, you are using both vonBiomes and vonMissions... please please please load up vonHUD. I love your content, but honestly watching you use the vanilla targeting HUD drives me up the proverbial wall. vonHUD is both tactical and cleaner, and creates a much deeper immersion. It's also customizable! FFS at least give it a try man.
Not fully compatible with battle grid orders, yet.
@@phforNZ That's a shame. After using vonHUD for several months now, there is no way I could I ever go back to the stock HUD. The range finder is soooo good for heavy ballistics fire. Hopefully it gets a compatibility update soon.
Hello! I can't run the game with this list of mods. It just won't start.
Depending on your CPU it can take 1-2 minutes before it starts. When it is not crashing, maybe wait a bit longer.
lol scrap cannon loked fun to play lol... bara just need to learn to shoot the targets instead of sky lol
hmm baras loot mod too economy breaking, maybe mod makers could put button to have baras reduced loot for mod so it won´t be so economy breaking that bara whines lol...
The Scrap Guns are a bit cheaty in my opinion. Too overpowered. They kill the fun because they kill too fast. 😀
Why is he always assemling the Mechs in the Battlezone. They are unusable until you start repairing them but get added to the payment cycle, like in this case. That is just another waste of money. He has 2 broken assemlbed mechs and not anywhere near a industrial hub.^^
Especially clan mechs are expensive in upkeep costs and he has sitting 2 broken ones in the hangar thats minumum 600k extra for the upcoming payment he just wasted xD
Coyotes always crashes my game....even with only YAML in play.
U PASS ON FLASHMAN-8K FOR A THUNDERBOLT, WHITWORTH, AND ASSASSIN?!?!? U passed on the best heavy mechs in the game for garbage... There's a reason its worth 3.2M+ c-bills per 12 picks, it has insane armor, crazy maneuverable, and is very fun to build and rebuild and rebuild. I have at least 3 builds that are end game mission dominators, one of which has 1870 armor!! (w/hardened armor) + LAMS + 37.6 dps + 88kph w/ mask(c) (135kph) + royal jj!!! Another has 2x EER PPCs + targeting comp mk8 which (with additional cd modifier components) gives them a cooldown of 1.4 sec, and 7 S-Laser-SB(c) that have a CD of 0.7 sec, and runs 96kph + mask(c) (147kph)!!!
They don't last forever, I'm quite a bit further in the timeline (3070ish) and don't see them show up anymore... Start collecting them now, otherwise you're purposely missing out on one of the best mechs in the game... I'll like + subscribe + turn off ad-blocker + watch more than just the MW5 vids if you take just one pick!
Overheating weapons are completely imbalanced :(
"don't know how often i'll use the battlegrid command".
then indicates one of its unintended usefulness for video recording by wiggling the cursor over a talking subject. ha!
Heat builds are so imbalanced... I hope one day you will stop using them. Especially because of the crap AI of the enemies and because enemies don't know what to do when they are overheated. You basically can kill any enemy, overheating any number of enemies :(
Nice mods
Got a boat those scrap cannons
