Lead moderator of what was the YAML discord server here. It's been compromised. Please get out of there if you are still in there.

Update 1: control of server has been regained. Assessing damage.

Since some variants got changes that weren't listed in the patch notes, I re-extracted all the data from the mod editor and compared it with the previous version. The table lists every chassis that changed and how its values differ. My mw-builder web is up to date now!

Title. I'm unsure if staying in the server is dangerous or not, but probably better safe than sorry. Situation seems unsalvageable at the moment. RIP.

Title, the discord has been compromised and they have gained Administrative access. Unsure on what they can do to recover but highly suggest avoiding the server until someone announces somewhere that it's fixed!

Be careful, bad happenings afoot.

A win is a win right?!

Hello all,

At the time of writing this, YAMW5 Discord has been hacked. More potentially, stay safe out there Mechwarriors.

EDIIT. Not 330's just YAMW5. Sorry for confusion.

Well this i saw today when i Loaded into MechWarrior. After a little research, I found out that my YAML Version is maybe outdated. So I hope the download of the new Version helps. Anyways, it's quite weird and fun to see that.

The Spider “Anansi” SDR-A has won our hero light mech vote! Its great speed and utility has rightly earned it a spot in our chart. The Hero’s are off to a good start

It’s time to see which mechs are the best in Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries! Please follow the rules below, and the most upvoted comment will win.

- Mech must be in the base game or DLC’s
- Please name the specific mech variant in your comment
- Comment with the most upvotes at the end of the day wins. Results are final
- Please keep it respectful, and have fun!

Title, after today's update i was like "Oh cool, now i can make a laser blast bullshark and the RCX longbow Is also strong and-" then i realized hunchbacks, centurions and specially the Centurion AL now have 0.8 internal cooling

Did they alway have that? I remember they had 1.0 cooling... This may affect the effectiveness of the Discoback, just a little tho

How scary are assault mrchs in lore. i recently got into mech warriors 5 mercenaries and I am very new to the lore of it all. My friend have been playing and tlwe ran into 2 assault mechs and he seemed to be very fearful of them. Are they really that scary. I am a huge warhammer 40 k fan and titans are my second favorite faction but the mechs of this game seem more comparable to knights then titans. Still very fun though

Is it mathematically possible to have maximum reputation (honored) with every faction in the game?

Your reputation with a given faction rises after you've hit the green bar, so you can "stock up" on reputation with a faction, but I don't know if reputation decreases just as fast as it rises.

I've been playing since it first dropped on PS5. 680 hrs in and 8, 9, 10 ( who knows how many runs now ) and have yet to find a Boars Head or Carapace. 3080s on the current run and probably a Billion in cbills spent running laps around trying to find it. What is the best spots for them to spawn? It's the last two I need for my hero assault lance.

Why does a tier 5 heavy rifle do more damage per shot than a clan gauss? Aren’t rifles supposed to be primitive weapons?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I was chuffed to bits when I found out my reliable old Archer-5CS got shadow buffed. I'm also pleased to see the Urbie-AIV getting buffed. I'm just trying to pin down the rhyme/reason some mechs got the buff, and some didn't.

Like the KGC-001, MAD-5CS, and RFL-5CS. Both the clanbuster Archer and Black Knight got the buff; why didn't the rest of the Clanbusters get it?

This also plays into another question I have; IS Omnimechs: Why does the Perseus and Blackjack omni only get 5 Cantina upgrade slots, when the standard for omnis thus far has been 6? It's not the like the Perseus is gonna top the Night Gyr for 75 ton mini-Assault. And while the Blackjack omni is extremely enticing, literally any Clan medium already stands head shoulders over it without the extra upgrade point.

I'm legitimately hoping this is just round one of the upgrades, and we'll see more in the future. I'm also hoping to see hitbox fixes for the MAD-IIC, Executioner, and Bushwacker.

has anyone had the clans hire mercs on you? this is happening in the start of the clan invasion (many of the clans are still unknown), but they're doing something that i'm pretty sure they wouldn't. they were the grey death legion, if that matters

also using this to hate on the merc drop system landing a lance of shadowhawks on my half dead lance and blowing up my orion-yaj.

So I play with controller, but a controller with extra buttons bound to keyboard keys. So center legs under torso I have bound to C on my left middle finger. Which works fine in most cases. But the problem I'm having is that any input on the left joystick that isn't straight up will override the legs centering, and in the heat of battle it's really easy to accidentally shift the joystick making the center legs button functionally useless.

Is there a way to force the game to ignore leg rotation inputs while centering legs until the legs finish the centering movement?

Edit: forgot to mention this is in MW5 Mercenaries

I don’t have anything besides heroes of the inner sphere yet but I recently got to the stage in the game where clan tech occasionally spawns in shops and enemies on higher difficulties sometimes have it.

Then I ran into a FLEA with medium clan lasers and it put my atlas’s leg armor almost in the red.

Are there any significant armor upgrades later on or is everything just super fragile during the endgame?

So, during A&A and doing side missions from SoK on I have acquired:

Ice Cheetah

Ice Ferret

Hunchback IIC

Stone Rhino

Bane

Sun Spider

Marauder IIC

Nova Cat

Have not seen:

Arctic Wolf

Huntsman

Blood Asp

Saw the one Supernova but it didn’t come up in salvage.

I’m guessing they show up in their clans areas for missions?

How about the new IS mechs? I have a Blackhawk ku but not the Perseus or new BJ, are they rare mechs only or do they show up in missions too?

If I'm on console, what are my options? Regularly quitting and restarting the game after every hour or so to "reset" the RAM? Clearing my console's cache?

I've got a stealth mech and 3 Arrow mechs and I want the arrow mechs to just sit in one location and lob out missiles but sometimes I need them to attack a specific target and when I use the command they all start sprinting towards their death in an attempt to follow me. I have a tag and everything but sometimes they dont wanna attack something unless I force them to with the command which just ruins the whole thing.

Is there a mod or anything that just keeps them from moving? Like a hold fire toggle but for movement.

The pulse lasers sacrifice some cooling from the original loadout.
