BattleTech Flashpoint

BATTLETECH Flashpoint is an expansion that adds over 30 hours of content to your mercenary experience, including branching stories, missions, events and choices. Its Flashpoints link short stories with mercenary contracts, crew conversations, special events and rare bonus rewards, extending endgame and Career Mode play. They involve the feuds and political machinations of the Inner Sphere’s Great Houses.

Flashpoint stories

Some Flashpoints send you into consecutive deployments without a chance to repair your BattleMechs or heal your MechWarriors between missions. Others add infiltration contracts that limit the tonnage of the BattleMechs you can deploy.

The stories include civilian escorts caught in a political feud, a criminal syndicate warehouse that conceals an ancient BattleMech, and a hunt for the Zhao twins. In the latter, their forces are routed and the siblings flee in different directions; you must choose which commander and unique salvage to pursue.

New BattleMechs

The expansion adds three BattleMechs: the Hatchetman, with armor-chopping power; the fast and versatile Crab; and the Cyclops, equipped with a battle computer.

Target Acquisition

Target Acquisition is a new mission type that puts your light and medium BattleMechs to the test. You must control three locations to triangulate fire on an enemy installation before time runs out.

Tropical environments

The new tropical biome features lush environments and spore clouds, which you can watch out for or use to your advantage.
