HERO MECH LOADOUTS EXPLAINED + BEST DEALS FOR DOUBLE HEAT SINKS! - Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries - MW5

I been collecting hero mech in every system of the inner sphere then suddenly they stopped appearing I've downloaded some DLC'S but they are still not showing up what can fix that?

I'm level 6 doing the campaign and the only mechs for sale I've seen are Locusts, can't find any pilots to recruit and never seen a pulse laser. I'm disappointed to be honest. Maybe it gets better after the campaign.

Love videos man! How u change the engines or that a mod lol.

Still no luck finding a Warhammer BW. Any tips on where to find it?

Nice video! Is this in campaign or career mode? I bought the game last month. I saw only a few hero mech during the campaign until I completed the main campaign.

tHANKS. lEONA

Thanks for the video. It's almost impossible to find the entire default loadout for any of the MW5 mechs online.

The hero mechs. Each one a storied mech that belonged to famous veterans.

Me: scrap them for parts.

Thanks TTB! Great video. I know you can’t provide everything but if you could explain when and where to acquire all these mechs…Bitte Schon!

I literally flew all over the galaxy trying to blow 300mil cause i felt like the game was getting too easy amd ive found almost all the heros and i gotta say, most of them are so much better than the standards that if you can afford it you should buy them when you see them. The upgrades slots being doubled for heros is aomething you dont know you need until you experience it

Well crap, lol. I just started playing the game and just got my first hero mech. On my first outing the double heat sink got destroyed. I didn't think anything of it. Now only to realize they are rare, well poo. lol.

It's very unfortunate that you didn't mention anything about he hero spider mech The SDR-A to be exact . Well hopefully I'll find a video on this mech loadout . I still think your content is great you just happened to miss that mech .

How do you get hero mechs

I just got a dragon you made me happy with this liked and subbed

Yes tell me more about this game.

Has anyone bought a boars head I'm not sure if it's worth the 40 million over buying another atlas D ???

Wow there is a fuck ton of these. I’m all in on learning this game right now. Loving it

can confirm kintaro GB is best medium mech in the game.

Idk if things have changed much in the good* year 2021 for this game but I've just started with game pass and so far I've found very quickly a few things people say are really good. The warhammer 6r, kintaro 18, and the urbanmech canine. Idk if I'm lucky or had the opportunity only because I knew to look out for them minus the urbanmech which was a happy accident.

So far my experience with hero mechs has been that they're less capable versions of the original

List of Hero Mechs with 6 or more DHS available:
UM-K9
KTO-GB
CPLT-J
MAD-BH2
WHM-BW
AWS-PB
BNC-LM
BLR-1GHE

Hope this is useful for anyone else 🙂

The Javelin is a ton of fun to play.
Another, non hero mech to look out for is the Grasshopper 5P I believe it is. 2 ppc, 2 med, 2 med pulse and 7 (SEVEN) double heatsinks for around 5 million and it's still great if you dump the jumpjets and swap for single heatsinks.

Thanks man you Save me the hassle of hunting down double heat sinks for an atlas

Looks like the Hero Cyclops will be the closest thing I'll be able to get to a Fafnir (a 100-Ton Assault), as the Fafnir comes standard with two Heavy Gauss Rifles mounted in the Right & Left Torso, as well as a 2 ER M Lasers & 1 M Pulse Laser.

Where do I find Victor Dragon Slayer?

Can i get the 150tone kingcrab in campaign?

Definitively an XL engine at the least in the Jav, as it only has 9 slots to be allocated in her side torsi, and probaly also endo steel(5% of mech total tonnage for IS Endo), since the engine only gives you 3.5 ton and they put 5 tons of extra equipment in there in comparison the the JVN-10N this is based on (4 med lasers and a ton of ammo).

Edit regarding Los-Tech: Any equipment not standard is LT, also any Streak, Artemis, ER, Pulse, Ultra and LBX veriants as well as AMS and the Gauss are LT

SHD-GD was my first hero in MWO back then, and i love this thing. Glad to see it in game.. Started Merc5 only yesterday - the quest is on.

thank you for this vid, i use it so much to see if im getting a good hero mech or trash just got an aws-pb and am so ready to use it

I just visited like 10 systems amd the only 2 that had heirs had the centerion amd the wolverine, which I'm gonna get cause I need some doubles bad

Have I missed a bunch of lore or some shit over the years? What happened to Clan Mechs? Will they ever add them? X-Pulse lasers?

Great video my dude! I was looking to see if they had the star league era Highlander and they do!😁 I super excited now!👍

Do these hero mechs "respawn" after you sold them?

Death smell? xD

I found another way to get double heat sinks. I did a mission with free sky dipshits or something like that and after completion one of the rewards was a case (12) of double heat sinks. Score!

Gauss rifle is lost tech?! Can the clans invade already.........

So ... A bit of history... I left off MechWarrior since MW4, missed MWO completely...

Back then I was biased towards having medium laser boats because they offered the most bang for the buck (heat Management too)

Avoided ballistic weapons in MW2 and 3 like the plague cos there was never enough ammo...

Seems like MW 5 Mercs had made all weapon types viable again

If anyone want just a list of the mechs with at least 2 double heat sinks, excluding assaults
Lights: COM-TDK, FS9-E, JVN-HT, PNT-KK, UM-K9
Mediums: BJ-A, CDA-X5, HBK-GI, KTO-GB, SHD-GD, WVR-Q
Heavies: BL-P-KNT, CPLT-J, GHR-MJ, JM6-FB, MAD-BH2, QKD-IV4, WHM-BW

I was pleasantly surprised by the Cicada X5.

Try deploying alone on raid or demolition missions.

Max out the payouts with negotiation points

Run at full speed and gun only for the primary targets. Don't stop running. It's fast and pesky as heck.

If you lose crits like medium lasers, they are a dime a dozen.

Without lancemates to take up damage, you minimize the damage cost and chance of losing valuable components on their mechs.

Minimum effort, Max returns.

If you want a Lance behind you, flank and aim for the legs.

FYI for anyone wanting double heat sinks, if you sell back a hero mech then travel to a nearby system and then back to the same system you bought the hero mech from it will have been refitted with its default load out. I now have almost 100 double heat sinks from the same UM-K9 I've been rebuying.

You can buy double heat sinks from a bunch of the industrial planets for really cheap.

from a playthrough I just watched, the AS7-k has an AMS hardpoint ! must hunt this wonder :)

"The best bargain is the Urbanmech K9".
(King Harkinian has a hard-on)

Thank you for this! Probably a silly question, but if you buy a hero mech and sell it back (after stripping it), would it still show up again in the marketplace in the future? Also, how is a rare mech different from a standard mech?

No MadCat ? :'(

why dont you just fly around to different markets and buy double heat syncs? all my mechs have them and i have over 80 in stock there not that rare

Most los tech items end up in the marketplace. Just look into the market. Do Not buy hero mechs for double heat sinks. I have over 127 hours in. Go in to Marik space to pay 9000cbills per double heat sinks. Don’t listen to this guy he hasn’t put the time in to know better.
