MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is a BattleMech combat game set in 3015, during the Succession Wars. You inherit a Mercenary company nearly destroyed by conspiring factions and pursue glory and revenge across the Inner Sphere, following threads of interstellar intrigue as you work to become an elite MechWarrior and commander.

The Inner Sphere

The Inner Sphere spans thousands of star systems and includes a range of biomes. Systems are captured and reclaimed, major events unfold and new technologies emerge. As the Succession Wars continue, your choices as a Mercenary leader affect your relationships with the factions.

Battle and destruction

You pilot BattleMechs against enemy 'Mechs, tanks, ground vehicles, aircraft, advanced defenses and reinforced bases. These machines can level entire cities, and the Inner Sphere's worlds offer battlefields where you can defend or devastate.

Your Mercenary company

Between battles, you manage the company. Maintain and acquire 'Mechs and equipment, hire MechWarriors from across the Inner Sphere and field them in combat, and manage relationships with the Great Houses as they seek your help in the war. You negotiate each contract, and victories have consequences.

BattleMechs

The game includes over 50 'Mech chassis and hundreds of sub-variants, with detailed models, damage states and equipment. You can search Inner Sphere markets for rare chassis and equipment or salvage them from wreckage and the spoils of battle. Maintaining and operating your BattleMechs is central to your success as a pilot and company commander.

Missions and co-op

Outside the campaign, Instant Action lets you customize and start standalone missions without campaign restrictions. Up to four players can play together in both the campaign and Instant Action.

Mods

A full editor and interface support gameplay mods, which can alter and expand the game.
