3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Mechwarrior 5: Clans. It's wonderful. But I've hit a snag. (lemmy.world)

So, there's a mission that straight up isn't beatable as far as I can tell. Even on Story Mode.

You have to prevent stolen Clan Mechs from fleeing so they aren't captured by whoever.

Only hitch is, if you pursue them directly and down them you'll get absolutely shredded by their escorts. And if you pause pursuit to deal with the escorts they 100% will get away and you'll fail the mission.

Also the controls are crap. And performance is iffy on Series S.

Let me know how you do!

I won. Somehow.

Played it real conservative. Held back. Used choke points. Positioned my star in water so they could go nuts without overheating.

Tried the same thing at the next cliff after the choice. Didn't work out.

Congrats.

If I might offer some advise for what's coming. Keep the play style that let you beat Disciplinary Action going. It's gonna serve you well in missions to come.

And hit the Sim Pod for mech xp and to level up your star. Cuz you're gonna need every edge you can get.
