Set in the 31st century, the game lets you encounter new experiences in the expansive BattleTech world. They need to restock their power-ups at a friendly or neutral landing pad (some maps only have one landing pad for both teams) so they constantly need to move back and forth between the battle and the launchpad. Considering that the Warhammer missile does significant damage, a skilled Kit Fox pilot can lurk at the edge of a chaotic battle and tag unsuspecting enemies with Warhammer missiles. It is the sequel to 2002's MechAssault and is set in the BattleTech universe. History/Overview: The Raptor was one of Inner Sphere's omnimechs, first designed as a test model to prove the viability of modular parts on a battlemech. In Capture the Flag and Snatch It, Belials can form either part of the raiding party or as a suicidal rear guard to entagle heavier mechs so their team mates can escape. Uziels are true medium mechs, carrying decent firepower and fair mobility; having them operate in the support of their bigger stablemates will let Uziel pilots reap big wins in Team Destruction. The Kit Fox was unofficially known as the "Schnit* Fox" (* 'schnit' replacing common slang for fecal matter) in Activision's Mechwarrior 2 series; Mechassault did the mech right and made it into a deadly hunter-killer. Beyond the Raptor are 2 missile tanks and 2 turrets, following that an Uziel waits. Use them when you have a chance -- the lasers are not good, but tend to overheat the mech even while it sits in water. With 15 fully destuctible environments, this third-person action-shooter takes immense destruction to another level. VTOLs are best used for supporting roles. You won't be going anywhere for some time. The tank is best used for its Null Signature ability. The mech's strong point is clearly as a missile slinger, although the twin ACs the mech carries can also prove devastating if powered up. Pilot 2. Unlike the make shift alpha-strike of Mechassault, this alpha-strike is capable of killing almost any mech medium or lighter in one hit, and leaves all other mechs in a serious state of disrepair. The Stiletto was originally a Draconis Combine ultralight and one of the more successful of the light-lightweights (at 15 tons). Capabilities: The Mechassault Hackman is one of the more deadly mechs in the game. My Star Adder remake is epic, it's waist and legs are almost done, but it's already tall or taller than 10 Spartans! Consult our guide for all the nasty details, like how to blast players from behind with a dual level 3 PPC. History/Overview: Darling of the battletech series and one of the flagship mech designs of FASA, the Timberwolf began its illustrious career as a 75 ton heavy omnimech for Clan Wolf. Even so, a fast mech can put some distance between itself and a battlesuit, then that's when the battlesuit is in real trouble. The mech's gauss cannons, mobilty, and armor make the Belial a dangerous enemy to leave alone, and fairly time consuming to take out. Catapults are among the slowest mechs around, and having reflective armor only allows them some measure of protection from hostile battlesuits. With its speed and fair amount of defence, Raptor mechs are good candidates for capturing data cores or flags. Capabilities: The Blood Asp is the newest assault class battlemech in Mechassault. VTOLs can ignore all terrain penalties since they fly over impassable ground. This clone of the Atlas was created for the Mechassault series of games. The most damning thing about the Owens is its lack of jump jets; this makes the mech a very fast, very thinly armored target for anything heavier than a medium mech. During this period of incapacity, enemies can often kill a battlesuit with a few strong hits, especially in team matches. As a potent mech-hunter, the Timberwolf does lack anti-battlesuit defences, and may find itself under constant neurohack if a group of battlesuits engage it. On planet Dante, a Word of Blake Raptor downed by the MechWarrior was salvaged, and found to be carrying the Stealth-Null Signature Data Core. History/Overview: The Wendigo is a mech designed only for Mechassault. With twin PPCs, dual machineguns, and four SRMs, the Mad Cat is the quintessential "battlemech" of FASA fame. VTOLs can make fast drops of tanks to isolated pilots (see below for fighting mechs using just your pilot) or carry crewed battlesuits or a tank to and from various drop points. Where a scout mech can cost 1,000,000 C-Bills, a tank (or scout vehicle) with similar abilities can cost a fraction (often less than half) and have more firepower and protection. Continuing in the thirty-first century, MechAssault 2 allows gamers to encounter entirely new experiences in the epic BattleTech world. Use your def mod and fight the Mad Cat at long range before hacking the second station. 10:31. It is strong enough to resist the game's lasers (the tracking kind) and can keep moving even if a salvo of missiles hit it once. This mech is potent, but the prevalence of battlesuit hacking has given the mech a distinctive weakness. Capabilities: The much hated Ragnarok (and its equally hated variant, the Ymir) make a return in Mechassault 2. The weapons loadout of the Raganarok is otherwise the same -- the gauss rifles being the primary armament, the SRMs serving as a way to hit small units like battlesuits, and the lava gun as a close range "shotgun". Capabilities: The Star Adder is the newest assault battlemech and can outpace other assault mechs, like the Atlas. Indeed, when Project Phoenix was initiated under the direction of WizKids and FanPro, the Mad Cat designation edged out the Timber Wolf name in almost all entries of the same mech. Deployment: Mad Cat mechs are sometimes deployed alongside Timber Wolf mechs, but they usually pop up here and there. With twin LRM-20s (a non-Mechassault weapon term), the Mad Dog could shell targets from beyond 600 meters before advancing on the crippled remnants with pulse lasers blazing. Capabilities: The new Rommel-2 NST combines a hybrid energy-ballistic cannon with a generic machinegun. The version in Mechassault has kept much of its forebear's concept alive. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. The Battlemech was first used by the Terran Hegemony against a company of Kurita tanks on the planet Suk in the mid-25th Century. The only exception to this being MechAssault 2, in which you could exit your Mech to pilot other vehicles. History/Overview: There is the Adder omnimech (i.e., the Cougar/Puma) but no instance of a Star Adder battlemech in Comstar's technical readouts. MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf Xbox walkthrough and guide at GameSpy - Check out the latest walkthroughs and guides for Xbox History/Overview: One of the few mechs that has no past history in the pen and paper Battletech. They are so slow, in fact, that even an Atlas can outpace one if the battlesuit does not use jets to make short hops. Both mechs are potrayed differently from the Mechassault version of the Stiletto. History/Overview: The Clan Nova Cat created the Omnimech Nova Cat to, "imbue the spirit of the clan", as well as present to the Crusader Clans the fearsome new weapon Clan Nova Cat would employ when they joined their Inner Sphere allies in the Second Star League. The skull headed cockpit was to appear as a deterrent to enemy mechwarriors who dared to oppose the Cameron regime. Consult the first edition of TR3026 for VTOLs used in the Inner Sphere prior to the Clan Invasion. Choose from a variety of weapons and vehicles--from the MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf continues the destruction, intense combat, and online play introduced by … It also come equipped with a dual alternating Pulse Laser for weak enemies, tanks, infantry and BattleArmor. Though primarily focused on mech combat, Mechassault 2 allows players to exit the mech and pilot Power Armors, tanks and VTOLs. It weighs in at 40 tonnes and can travel at 30 Mph. 3D. Elementals originally were eight or ten foot tall super-soldiers bred by the Clan's eugenics program to fill out the gigantic suit of armor that protected the soldier, as well as enchanced his or her strength. This BattleMech was featured in an official BattleTech product, namely the MechAssault series of computer games.. By virtue of being an official albeit not positively canonical product, the game expansion and the 'Mechs presented therein including this one must be considered apocryphal.. Overview []. If you (as a dismounted pilot) have a choice between clicking the right stick and boarding this "mech", click the right stick. In addition, this Mech has Null-Signature which is seen more commonly on lighter class Mechs. It had several notable abilities, namely that it had a weapon called a Lava Gun and it could erect an indestructable shield around itself to immunize it from damage. The Clan Star Adder was most likely used as the basis for this mech "clone" in the game. Auto-cannons do not auto-aim, so the pilot must be skilled in its use. Well essentially, in mechassault you are playing after the clan invasion, during the word of Blake's rein as they try to find all of the datacores. VTOLs have access to the four main power-ups in the game: armor, energy ammo, ballistic ammo, and missile ammo (note the VTOL will need to max-out its missile weapons before it can be loaded into cargo). Deployment: The Prometheus is deployed all over, but is best used in team games. Most maps only have one VTOL and one launchpad per team, but sometimes variations of two VTOLs or a shared (neutral) launchpad are implemented on some maps. Suit up in BattleArmor and seek an enemy 'Mech to "jack." With Null Sig, auto-cannon, and an array of LRMs, the Raptor is a fairly capable battlemech for most confrontations. MechAssault 2-Stiletto (Variant-Raptor) Scout/Light = Both exist as seperate mechs-Hellbringer/Harbinger (Variant-Loki) Heavy = Hellbringer is the Clan name, Loki is the IS name.-Star Adder (Variant-Blood Asp) = The Blood Asp was made by Lt. Foster, so I'll assume it was made for the game, Star Adder? With Null Sig, auto-cannon, and an array of LRMs, the Raptor is a fairly capable battlemech for most confrontations. The Prometheus can dish out some heavy damage, using its dual Warhammer missiles to "sticky" an enemy mech before plastering it with twin gauss cannons. speed) but offsets that with some moderately heavy protection. Null Sig is ineffective in Capture the Flag or Snatch It matches, as the HUD will reveal the Hackman's location by use of a coloured HUD marker. Tanks also lack the intricate neuro-helm interface and are immune to neuro-hacking by battlesuits, although that means they cannot hitch rides on tanks (enemy or allied). Considering the flimsiness of the mech's armor, the special ability is perhaps best used to deter battlesuits rather than outright defence against incoming PPCs. Sell your services to the highest bidder, join up with an army, or form your own group and pursue your own goals. Deployment: Star Adder mechs are deployed occasionally in some matches. Capabilities: The Mechassault Puma mates a single PPC onto a Cougar clone with Null Signature (cloaking). Like most light mechs, the special ability is best used to shake off battlesuits instead of using it as active defence against lasers and PPCs. Capabilities: The Mechassault Stiletto, with its flamer, gauss gun, jump jets and reactive armor, is a moderate threat. To make up for this, the Catapult has the longest lasting JumpJets in both of the MechAssault games, being able to fly for well over 10 seconds. The clumsy and confusing dual designation of Clan machines stopped after Technical Readout 3055. Once you see an Atlas or Prometheus lumbering towards you, start chipping away its health or avoid it unless you really need to fight it (i.e., Last Man Standing, Destruction). The LRMs and ACs are the Mad Dog's primary bite; using the pulse lasers incurs rather high heat with little gain. Of both mechs, the Ymir runs hotter than the Ragnarok, and does about equal damage. A Stiletto's special ability protects it from being neuro-hacked, and its flamer weapon can be used directly on a friendly mech, damaging the cancer (the battlesuit) faster than the host (the ally). Deployment: The Ymir is only deployed in very few team games for balance issues. History/Overview: The I.S. The VTOL can then pick up the datacore or flag carrying battlesuit and make an escape while the second battlesuit delays the enemy. Raptor, Stiletto, Raven, Corvus, Kit Fox, Uller, Cougar, Puma 9. Capabilities: In Mechassault 2, the Raptor is a medium (as opposed to light) mech. Even Assault Class 'Mechs, such as the Atlas should engage a Raptor with extreme caution. It is one of the slower mechs most other units can outrun. MechassaultReborn 4,053 views. The weapons loadout of the Ymir is as it was before -- the dual PPCs being hot weapons, followed by the four auto-cannons, and lastly the lava gun as a close range "shotgun". History/Overview: The Uziel is one of WizKids/FASA's "home grown" designs that has become a recognizable signature mech of the Battletech, Mechwarrior, and Mechassault franchises. Like the Uziel, the Belial has very poor secondary weapons, and should rely on its gauss cannons to carry most of its battles. History/Overview: Thor was the Inner Sphere designation for the Clan Summoner. Note that the original Corvis and the Mechassault 2 Corvus are quite different in appearance. While not entirely devastating by itself, the Mad Dog does form a vital part of a team, and if used properly, it can deliver easy victory. This is the only Medium 'Mech to sport Null Signature. "The Raptor combines maneuverability with tremendously effective short-range weaponry, which makes it great in a close- or medium-range skirmish." The first mention of a Stiletto battlemech was in an article for Battlemech "Ultralights", which were mechs in the 10 to 19 ton range. It's payback time. Despite their drawbacks and their lack of speed, tanks are much valued in team games since they can continuously snipe at enemies from far away thanks to their zooming ability. History/Overview: The Clan Mad Dog was first nicknamed "Vulture" (see below) by the Inner Sphere forces that encountered it. Deployment: Thor mechs are universally liked or disliked -- it depends whether or not the pilot in question won or lost consistently in one. You'll return to the wars and go it alone in 15 fully destuctible environments. Turrets are immobile, meaning they cannot move to avoid incoming attacks; they need to rely on the slow delivery of the POV missile to attack enemies far away. Null Sig is always an option for Raptor pilot who seek to avoid confrontation. Deployment: The Blood Asp is not found all that often, but can be seen occasionally in some match types. Treat it like an Ymir without the shield. However, almost every mech is better than the lamentable Owens in almost every regard, so avoid piloting one unless it is the last mech available in a match. Lastly, the mech has jump jets, which is unusual considering the firepower the mech carries. Either by scaling the building or being air-lifted by a VTOL to a suitable hiding spot, a battlesuit can rain down mortar rounds in an organized or haphazard fashion. Deployment: VTOLs are only deployed in some team type matches -- Team Last Man Standing for example, will not feature VTOLs. History/Overview: Aimed as an insult to Clan Blood Spirit, the Blood Asp is a potent clan weapon. Don't forget that the battlesuit's mortar does more damage than the Elemental's LRM, but is harder to aim with. Never underestimate a Summoner, for you may find one jumping up and over your carefuly aimed shots then landing behind you. Although not fast, the Loki is able to do some damage with its triple LRMs and dual ACs. Additionally, VTOLs may not drop their internal cargo if battlesuits or tanks are being carried. Capabilities: Mechassault's Thor is the heaviest jump capable mech with special armor, meaning it has the mobility and defence against battlesuits. Capabilities: The Kit Fox looks to be a stand-by and support mech with little ability. The Spider 'Mech is a gigantic spider-like machine, throughout the entire game it is only encountered once. Carrying a single gauss rifle and null signature technology, the Hackman can perform deadly hit and run using its gauss gun while remaining invisible. Unlike regular battlemechs, Clan omnimechs share sets of common parts such as weapons, actuators, and detection equipment; this meant that a badly damaged part could be exchanged for a functioning one from an inoperable mech, or that a mech configured with one set of weapons can swap for a different weapons kit and being a different task the next day. Deployment: The Hackman is best used to hit a mech with the "cracked" look -- while a single gauss shot may not appreciably damage a mech, it does do enough damage to land the decisive killing blow on some occasions. Canonicity []. The shield now requires time to charge up once a pilot is in the mech, and only reduces damage to very small amounts, instead of nullifying it completely.
