Greetings GTribers!
BATTLETECH Live Update 1.1 is out now. Check it out here: steamcommunity.com/games/637090/announ…
The recent update is not only massive with a lot of welcome addition but literally changes the game in a lot of ways.
The game now has custom campaign settings allowing you to adjust a lot of things. They even added an Ironman Mode! They made combat faster but still failed to allow us to skip the long cinematic during space travel. They made changes… See More
to weapon stats specifically with regards to heat generation. Stability buffs were also increased on medium, heavy and assault mechs. It is now twice harder to knock down Assault Mechs since their stability were change from 100 to 200. This also means, it will be harder for new players to loot for full-parts assault mechs. The game may be a bit harder now due to the changes especially if you will be out hunting and collecting assault mechs or down right plan to knock them big boys down.
This game can be punishing since you need to manage costs, mechs and pilots at the same time. Every month you are required to pay your interstellar bills and unable to do so will be game over. You also need to take care of your pilots because an injured pilot will require several weeks and even months to heal. Missing a pilot for your mech lance means missing the missions that help you pay the bills. Damaged mechs also require payments to repair them which also hurts your monthly finances. This is how hard the game is and also what makes it delightfully challenging.
The new update does make the game more interesting. Challenge accepted!
Game on!
Oh wow...
