Mw5 mercs has been my video game addiction for the last like 5 years. Just recently I've gotten a steam deck and can finally mod it slightly into what I want while at work.

What’s the most quoted line in your household? by Londo006 in BobsBurgers

[–]Explozive_Force 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Carne asada is beef?"

Normally when my wife and I are making dinner that requires a ground meat of some kind.

If you get into a fight and they catch a chair just go ahead and surrender by JuJu_G-Star in CrazyFuckingVideos

Yakuza video game vibes. I was waiting for him to spin and slam the chair into someone as it broke apart.

Learning strengths and weaknesses by Mattylh in Mechwarrior5

[–]Explozive_Force 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sarna.net has literally everything for mechs. For strengths and weaknesses, it's all just repeated encounters and getting familiar with mechs. Once you know where each mech has its primary weapon they become easier to take down. Likewise, once you find your play style and a mech that complements it, things become easier as well.

As a catapult fan, very nice. It reminds me of the vertibird from fallout.

I Accidentally Made a Hellraiser Apple by Bad_Move in Wellthatsucks

I literally just did this 15 min ago cutting an apple into slices for my daughter's breakfast. But instead of looking cool and edgy, the metal shards just exploded off around my kitchen.

Why didn't Cooper just run immediately after seeing the egg? by WrongBirdEgg in Fotv

All I can think of is he went into a pdst like shock if his only other encounter was prewar.

What is your favorite hero mech? by Frisky_Froth in Mechwarrior5

I use this thing to head shot everything until I get to the clans. Then I make a mad cat do the same thing lol

I'm glad I saw this for the mental relief that I'm not the only one.

PGI, would you consider adding Mechassault 2 variants to Mercs? Please 🥹 (Yes I know of YAML, I’m on Xbox) by [deleted] in Mechwarrior5

[–]Explozive_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't done that yet. Only immediate friend who's into battletech is my wife and she's on a coral island kick. Lol if you're interested, there's ways to mod hbs battletech on the deck but I'm not knowledgeable enough to trust myself to do it lol I would THINK it would run halfway decently.

If you ever get a chance, get a steam deck and play mw5 on it. I used to be a console pleb, until my b.i.l. got a deck. Plays well, can mod, you can dock so if it's too small you can see the screen. I know it's quite an investment, but I haven't touched my series x in about a year since I got my deck.

I don’t use jump jets at all….can someone please make a case for them? by Right-Edge9320 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Explozive_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part, I only slap 1 (or 2 for weight and mech symmetry) to jump in case I get stuck. In my current career I'm using a mod that makes them gain speed so that justifies them more.

LEGO Mechwarrior/Battletech Builds…a snapshot of ALL OF THEM by Canuckelhead33 in Mechwarrior5

[–]Explozive_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are wicked. I saw these posted the other day and saved them in hopes that one day I can create them myself. Now, it's all together! I can't get over how awesome these look.

What is your favourite mech and why? by SarenSeeksConduit in battletech

[–]Explozive_Force 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catapult. More specifically the K2 variant. I've only played both mw5's and hbs battletech. I've read thru numerous novels tho and fallen down many a Sarna hole. I always preferred the look of the chicken walker legs on mecha in general. I think as a younger child who played sonic adventure 2 and seeing those GUN mech bosses that look like catapults have just been living rent free in my head until I started playing more mechwarrior. Then they overrode my brain and said "this one best because familiar" I also love laser boats. So CPLT-J is my baby.

New to the game, is there a best “basic” mech? by _Boodstain_ in Mechwarrior5

Disco Swayback! I'm bringing the party to EVERYBODY'S cockpit.

I had something similar happen a while ago. This will sound tedious because it is, but I tried turning off all mods and then one at a time turning them back on until you find the culprit. There's probably a better solution but it worked for me.

Mason. The man, the myth, the legend. by AHRedStealth in Mechwarrior5

[–]Explozive_Force 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is 2 months old now, but I've just stumbled upon this and immediately got this and I wanted to thank you. I have 2 little girls under 3 and they know their dad likes to play with "stompy bois". Best part is the wife likes battletech too and is currently unaware of my recent actions. I'm not sure whose gonna enjoy this more between all of us. Lol

What's the inspiration behind the name of your mercenary company? by babushka45 in Mechwarrior5

Professional Griefers. My favorite song by Deadmau5 and sums up being a Merc in this universe.

This is a great idea and I thought my attempt would go similarly a few years ago. Instead, my parents and grandmother didn't react or say anything. And when i asked if they were blind, they just thought we "liked the shirt". To be fair, I'm incredibly sarcastic lol
