Hidden background information:
------------------------------
Select the holo-projector to get a list of background information on the game. Click on
the numbers to the left until a menu with information on the development team appears.
Ghost weapons:
--------------
Customize a mech so the weapons onboard in an online game to look like the following:
ER-Laser ER-Laser
Mgun LRM-5
LRM-5
The first LRM-5 will be duplicated between the second LRM-5, and take up no mass or
critical. It will be invisible, but will do damage when fired and create heat.
Note: You have to be in "chain fire" mode. The weapons can be changed, but the number
of weapons must be uneven and the last weapon must be on the right side of your mech.
Ghost ammunition:
-----------------
Place your ammunition in the arms of a mech in an online game. If your arms explode
before that ammunition is depleted, there's a 75% chance that that it will become
unlimited "ghost ammo".
Hide in a building or mountain:
-------------------------------
To hide in a building or mountain, jump jet forward then shut down before hitting the
wall.
Note: You must continue to hold the jump jet forward key after shutdown.
Stealth kills:
--------------
If an enemy mech is on the other side of a wall, ram into the wall and zoom in. You
will be able to see and shoot through the wall.
Note: This trick works with mountains and other walls that can not be destroyed.
Recommended Mech:
-----------------
Select the 60 ton model and go to the customization screen. Strip away the large
lasers and replace them with medium lasers. Go to the LRM-20s and increase the
ammunition up to three tons each (eighteen shots total). When you attack, use a very
slow approach. Get a lock with 2x LRM20s, and hit them from far away. Almost all of
the time they will go down in one salvo. An Atlas may require two salvos. With
eighteen salvos at your disposal, you should be able to finish off every enemy in
the mission without using the lasers.
