HBS BATTLETECH FLASHPOINT SERIES

there are literally a thousand things they could have done that are standard parts of the game. Originally posted by Ichthyic:how about position their lances in ambush areas, or how about using ecms, or how about using bots themselves, or.

rewards were just random rare and uncommon items. I figured if anybody would be sporting that thing, it would be one of these two mercs.

It's a cockpit mod that increases your initiative by 2.

HBS BATTLETECH FLASHPOINT UPGRADE

I was hoping that this would end with getting an item I see in the gear upgrade files, but have not seen in game: Well, I suppose it makes no difference how you kill them in the end, since you get no mech parts in the loot table anyway. Which, btw, they also use on the Bounty Hunter's mech. like I said, they have before made cockpits untargetable period (black out as targetable), but this time they used this entirely hidden BS. especially if it's even hidden cheap mechanics.

it's cheap, and shows lack of skill in designing proper difficult encounters. my point isn't about the difficulty of the fight, it's the use of literally fake mechanics in it by the devs. Which makes the conversation BW and BH have kinda weird, considering she's dead.Īgain, not my point. best I could do was double leg her.įWIW, I killed them all before the bounty hunter even shows up. but the point is the devs used fake mechanics to make this fight 'harder'. all the rest can be headshot like normal. none of the other mechs in her lance are like this, BTW. very easy to leg the widow, impossible, literally, to headshot. 5 precision shots: 1 miss entirely, 2 hit CT, 1 arm, 1 leg, 1 torso.Īim at leg: 80% chance to hit: 4 leg hits, 1 CT hit. To prove it, I'm going to mod the game so I have 100% chance of headshots, and then I will come back here and tell you it still didn't work.Ĭonfirmed. this is entirely hidden mechanics to redirect shots that normally would hit her head. I can hit any other part of her easily and repeatedly, and have played this game since beta, I know how headshots work. which are then automatically directed to other parts. I mean, why not just black her head out, like they have done in the past, when they want to indicate the cockpit is protected from headshots? this is entirely invisible, lets you take shots at the head. result? 5 shots taken, not a single head hit. Slowing initiative weapons? hidden anti-targeting mechanics that don't even show up on your hit chance scanner? come on.Įxample: 82% chance to get a headshot on a prone BW.

Not gonna say more, but the only way they made that fight hard was to do things that simply are not possible for any mechs or pilots.
