This particular entry in the hallowed giant robot franchise can be unforgiving to new players, and the tutorials are buried in dialogue options that are easy to miss if you aren't exploring every nook and cranny of your drop ship. Before you get started retaking the Aurigan Reach for the Arona Restoration, this is everything you need to know about strategy and mech maintenance if you don't want to be reloading every single battle. BattleTech Mech Combat Basics Navigating turn order and planning your upcoming attacks based on which enemy will move next is critical in absolutely any mission. The turn order goes in descending order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 instead of ascending order, so pay attention to who is going to attack next and who can be Sensor Locked that turn and then still attacked by another mech in your group. Best BattleTech Pilot Skills You will quickly learn that Sensor Locking and Evasive Movement are two of the most important skills to have, but they aren't fully explained by the tutorial missions. For instance, you don't need direct line of sight to Sensor Lock an enemy vehicle. They just have to be on your radar as the unknown red dots within sensor range.

This is important for indirect missile fire over long distances before closing the gap and engaging in short-range laser fire or direct melee combat. Your enemies will typically be either mechs or tanks, and it's these smaller ground vehicles like tanks that are extremely susceptible to mech melee assaults -- usually going down in one hit. Choosing Attack Types When engaging in ranged combat, always keep in mind that you don't have to launch the mech's entire weapon payload with every attack. You can click each weapon in the list in the lower right corner to remove or add before firing, which is important for managing heat.

Switching to melee for a round is another excellent option for venting heat. If a weapon has a low chance to hit but will increase your heat into the critical range, just turn it off for that attack. Remember that these settings are saved for every attack, though, so don't forget to turn it back on for the next salvo if you want to use all the weapons at once. Finally, while shooting ranged weapons like missiles and lasers, it's always better to try to hit enemies on their sides or from the back. Not only does this reduce their armor's damage reduction and overcome the Guarded state, but your chances of destroying a mech section with a Called Shot shoot up significantly. Hitting from behind, your chances of taking out a mech's leg to knock it over will jump from 18% to the 50% range.

Don't discount the center torso, though. While the percent chance will be lower, destroying the torso with a Called Shot incapacitates the pilot and takes the mech out of commission immediately. Called Shot percentages go up drastically if attacking from behind or from higher ground Understanding BattleTech Mech and Weapon Types There's a huge array of mechs, from Spiders to Dragons to Shadowhawks, Vindicators, Centurions, and many more.

While each has a slightly different focus between movement range, heat distribution, ranged or melee combat, and so on, the primary differences will be in their weight category. Best BattleTech Mechs and Weapons In general, heavier mechs have more space for more weaponry, so heavy is a good way to go for both armor and attack strength. Each mech has different weapon anchor points, however.

Not all mechs can equip an SRM 5 or AC/10 on either arm for instance, while some can equip multiples of the same type of weapon on the same location for truly devastating volleys of fire. Highlighting a weapon in the equipment list will show you which locations on the mech can use that weapon. You can get drastically different results in a mission just by swapping out weapon types and tailoring them to each pilot's skills. The PPC, for instance, is basically the mech rendition of a sniper rifle and is only useful at long range if you have a high Gunnery skill.
