3 Box series Walkers stand in your way. 2 Missile sets and 1 shielded.

Ask Hannibal if I can have action figures of these walkers oh my goooooood

Flank speed. Lock on to missile walkers with missiles, prepare to strafe gunner.

You won't go far under heavy missile fire, so you should take out one of those first. See if you can find any cover too, preferably cover that will also hamper missiles.

Activate multi-lock with the shoulder missiles and wipe them all out simultaneously. Strafe and pew pew with the rifle while doing so.

Box Walkers are durable little buggers-but they're sure as hell not maneuverable. Body-tackle the middle one with a shield to send it back a bit, then use your booster kit to quickly position ourselves behind it, using it's shield for our favor. Than all we have to do it gun the rest down.

Lacking defenses the two artillery Boxes are handled easily. The Shield Box however starts to track you and opens fire back, your own machine gun rounds pinging off the shield.

How will you handle this?

He has a shield. Luckily, we have a sword.

Use BOOSTER KIT to close the distance and sword him directly in the shield. That should knock it off-balance enough for us to swing our gun-arm right into the cockpit and pointblank it.

Negate shield and ventilate.

>>1071970
Agreed. Do the cool shit.

Start with a feint. Shoot at his legs and run cautiously, then when you're sufficiently close hit the booster and charge in.

>>1071970

Remember, the idea is to attack from an angle that will make him have to raise or angle the shield to deflect or block your sword arm that makes an opening to let you use the gun. With the gun arm, you just need a quick bypass angle, since it has range!

Huh, didn't expect a Hex build on hand, the Monarchy of Clark shouldn't have that kind of technology on hand.

It's probably repurposed from some industrial equipment. I'll see what I can dig up.

You aren't certain of the build yet but you do see 2 W2 Shotguns, and 2 8 Tube Launchers on its back. It has both long range and short range cover.

How will you handle this?

Take the high ground and use the rifle to swat any missiles out of the sky.

Any way to get it to use up it's missiles? How are your antimissile point defense systems?

>>1072191
Engage at medium range with the rifle.

we've yet to be seen, make an explosive entrance with a missile or two!
While it's occupied with dodging the missile fire; close in to a medium distance just outside of its shotguns effective range, and open fire with the rifle! Stay in motion an apply pressure!

Quad legs mean it will be hard to stagger, and the dreaded Double Zimmies mean we can't get close to it in a confrontation.

However... we are above it. Way above it, and not yet spotted. I say we engage Goomba Stomp maneuver. Try and crush its torso right through the joint where it meets the legs by landing directly on its head. If that doesn't OHKO it, it should very much leave it stunned for a follow-up with the sword.

Alright got the build 637. That's a Odyssey series by Olympus Tech. It's a heavier build and uses those 4 legs to keep stable, apparently it's an industrial mech meant to carry heavy loads around factories. Keep at it and avoid those missile racks and you should be fine.

You're zipping around, doing so damage, perhaps you can throw it off balance, do you want to is the question? And even if you did, how would you do so?

We have the range on his shotguns and appear to have the speed on his missiles. Unless he does something to surprise us, no reason not to just circlestrafe until it's dead. We're paid to kill, not to be flashy.

So mechs have a really high center of balance. You should cause lots of explosions from one direction, very near it. Shoot a missile right as it arms itself near the end of the early boost phase, right after it launches.

You always want to throw them off balance. Concentrate on a legs until they fall apart.

>>1072292
Its a quad, you wont be able to throw it off balance unless you trash one or two of its legs first.

Stay at a distance, keep mobile, aim for the joints as much as possible. It is an industrialmech below the outer armor. The joints should be relatively weak compared to battlemechs.

>>1072292
If part-specific damage works, you could aim for its missile packs so that it explodes itself?

>>1072311
That's a good idea, especially since it's basically stationary. We should be able to hit them.

Keep the fight steady until he has to reload his shotguns, then dash in and slice two legs.

You've permanently weakened his long range DPS and accuracy, so just hang back and continue shooting.

Use your own missiles to finish this, you command the long range now.

>you command the long range now.
No we don't. Not yet, anyways. The enemy still has one missile rack on its other shoulder. If we can destroy that, then we'll have long range command.

>>1072361
So... sidenote, is it possible to set the missiles to a delayed fuse activation so our own missiles don't blow up if they get hit like that guy's did? Like set it up so they only arm a half second after the motor activates.

Anyway, keep firing at the missiles and head. Even if the shots mostly miss, you would still be suppressing the guy and making it hard to see.

Ask Hannibal whether the enemy's cockpit is augmented to allow them to see behind them (things such as a backup cam, for instance). Also ask if its arms can swivel to point behind it.

Carefully incapacitate the mech from behind, then extract them for salvage.

You strike forward and the Odyssey takes a shot with its shotguns, taking out your right arm.

Thankfully your beam blade is still functional on your left, digging it down the unarmored neck joint you strike near the cockpit. Even if you didn't hit the pilot you more than likely seared them to deal just from ambient heat.

It ceases function and limply lowers its arms.

You scroll over to the contract screen, from there you can pick out jobs to work.

We're not the only mercenary on the planet but we do have a decent first call on a lot of these gigs, if you don't grab one it may not be available as there are other mercenary forces. Some of them not so willing to work with us. The jobs being handed to us are worth at least 10 Tokens each, not big scratch but enough, we got 15 from the last job.

Cleanup - Old Tunnels
The start of where this whole rebellion began. There are some automated defenses in the tunnels still operational, the Contact wants them gone.

Assassination - Eliminate
Typical smash and grab, find the Walker Squad and handle them. Supposedly they've got a expansion unit for one of the Boxes.

Escort - Recon Survey
Seems one of the ITA contacts has a rig set up, it's trawling through some of the old deserts scanning for Ruins. Your job is to keep it in tact.

Recon - Temple Ruins
Reports of an enemy mech in the area, keep an eye out and try to survey these old Ruins for a Research Group with the ITA. Straightforward enough.

What job are you thinking of taking?

I like the escort but fear we may be a bit underleveled for that. Let's try the recon.

We are go for recon.

We're solo so our best bet is recon work.

If we do recon, we should get some cheap camo netting to drape over the mech to break up its silhouette.

The vote is for Recon.

With that in mind you hit the shop, you currently have 15 trade tokens for the mercenary network, these tokens are used by almost every major supplier and can be exchanged for actual money. Mercs make use of them for easy trade supplies in refitting their mechs.

The shop has 3 units in stock.

Mechs are comprised of 4 pieces (Head, Torso, Arms, Legs) and the cost for these individual pieces varies.

There is the KRIEG heavy mech, it trades speed for armor and weapons handling, you want to wield the biggest guns, this is your mech. The parts cost 4 tokens each, overall the mech would be 16 tokens.

Next is the Ryu mech, a decent middle class unit that doesn't exceed in any field but makes up for it by sheer versatility, the parts cost 3 tokens each, for a total of 12 tokens.

Final in stock is the Critical model light mech, these units are used for scouting and recon work due to their speed, but can't field any heavier weapons than lightweight materials like sub-machine guns or light blades. The parts go for 2 each for a total of 8 tokens.

Also in stock are some new weapons. Weapons can be swapped between positions easily, though blades and melee weapons can only be fielded on the left arm. There are currently no new special additions like new booster packs or energy shield units.

HAND
* Machine Gun - 2 Tokens
* Sub-Machine Gun - 1 Token

* Rail-Rifle - 4 Tokens
* Heavy Machine Gun - 3 tokens

* Missile - 2 Tokens

The Mech is outfitted with the Ryu arms, which are not a straight upgrade but more of a sidegrade. The August and Ryu are comparable but ultimately are more cases of speed and armor, the Ryu is lighter but boasts better handling for weaponry, while the August is slightly slower but more defensible.
