- The new Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries DLC "Solaris Showdown" has arrived. Let's take a look at all the gameplay aspects, story, new Mechs and weapon systems together. In this playthrough we will start a new career as a Mechwarrior thrown int o a conflict against our will.

Clan Invasion ► www.nexusmods....

Empress' Legion ► www.nexusmods....
Fresh off a successful mission on the notorious Mercenary Star, Mason and crew journey to the Hardcore system where they collide with 'Mech pilot Duncan Fisher embarking on a quest to secure a spot in the FedCom Unification Tournament. Forming an unlikely alliance, Mason and Fisher traverse the shadows of Solaris, engage in harrowing 'Mech duels, and race against the clock to save the day - a true Solaris Showdown.
Join Duncan Fisher in a race against time to thwart the overthrow of the Solaris Council, discover the new Loader King 'Mech, select new weapons and equipment tailored for close-quarter engagements, and help save the very future of Solaris.
The gameplay of Mechwarrior 5 is split in two different parts. On the one hand you will have to manage your resources, hire new crew members, outfit your Mechs and travel through the Inner Sphere star map. But the action starts as soon as you get into the cockpit of your Battlemech yourself to fulfill contracts on the battlefield to earn more C-Bills and progress the story. I will review the weapon systems, battlemechs, show you how to build the loadouts and train your pilots and take a look at all the different mission types and upgrades of the MW5 Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC.

I love that they're actually playing out Duncan's backstory in this. When we hear him commentating Solaris matches in MW4:Mercs, we're already well past the Clan Invasion, so it's nice that they cared enough to realize that he was a young guy at this time.
If you take a look at the official portrait, it's clearly based off of the avatar present in George's BPL appearances. Somehow Tex memed reality!
True to that
Buggy new missions but Duncan is making the missions amusing to sit through at least. 😄
"Drunken Fisher" Love it! 🤣
I have an alter ego like that.
I’m getting too old for this Sh”t
😱 Maybe Drunkan Fisher is supposed to cower in that corner and let you do all the fighting!
No, I think he just got stuck. When I did that same mission several times he did come after me, and I had to protecto him.
He sort of says he's going to do that.
I'd rather he hung back, hard to protect him when he tries to face tank a 100 tonner.
@@Xalor69 Exactly, and when he starts shooting to everyone and everyone shoots back.
Hahahahahaha! This banter... my sides...!!! 🤣😂😁 Also, love the 'old man' energy Mason is showing. I mean... it was what, 20+ years since DeBerry fiasco? Our man is at least in his forties by now - maybe even pushing fifty?
MW5 Starts in 3015. When Bara made it to Hardcore, it was 3041. I'd have to guess Mason's in his late 40s at the youngest. I didn't think much about it until you mentioned it, but you're right. Even at the start, Mason said something to the effect of "If I can't keep up with pirates, it really is time to call it quits." It's some nice attention to detail.
@@MashUpMasterVoivode It leaves the question how old Ryana is? She held rank of Major at the start of vanilla game - it's not something twenty-something can easily earn.
@@MashUpMasterVoivode well hey he did say I’m getting too old for this Sh”t.
PPC X’s are so much fun in this update! You can absolutely wreck assault mechs with ease up close.
has someone tried them on the kaiju?
@@bohba13I did. It's insane although I prefer them on something that goes at least 64 kph
@@zangy3748 laughs in YAML and quicksell legs.
Love em
I like that with this DLC there are now arena matches at industrial hubs. Brings more life to them. Seems they like to reuse the mechs from the vanilla intro doing the same actions.
This expansion got me back into Mechwarrior 5.
Same. I think they finally embraced the "dumb fun" thing this game has going on and leaned-into it, completely to the game's benefit
@@dhoffnunalso the fact that Duncan fisher is the best commentator to ever commentate helps too
@@dhoffnun I mean, the other DLCs (minus Call to Arms) are better nonetheless.
@@devilmayclarify666 I love the Call to Arms DLC. No offense but I really did wanted to try having mechs with Melee Weapons and I have so much fun. Now with the Solaris one Even the mighty Assault Great Sword is so awesome.
Man, I love the PPC-X. Running up on Mechs and blasting them with these is weirdly satisfying
They surprised me as well
@@Baradul Same. I love em
Nice Video, Goldbara ;) I Love that the Developers try to integrate more and more of the Lore and Storylines of the Books into the Game. By the Way, the Mechwarrior whom Gray Norton sent to Death by making him Duel Justin Xiang was Philip CaPet not Philip CaDet :)
I believe you meant Platinum Bara. 😂
NoTon not NorTon. 😉
#PlatinumBara
It looks like they've made a meme dlc! This looks like it was written by BPL and I'm loving every single bit!
Grab every PPCX you can
I got a number of tier lvl 5 ones.
@@bradhedgehog12Stick 'em on the Kaiju.
Mwahahahaha.
@@JoshSweetvale Is it that other hero King Crab? If so way ahead of you heh heh heh
I happened across a Mauler KO. Then I fit it with 2x AC 10 RF and 2x PPC X. Chefs kiss
A few choice upgrades and plenty of double hs makes this build really shine
PPC-X are one of the most OP new weapons.
With how I have my king crab kaiju set up it has an alpha strike of 144 damage and a theoretical max damage per minute of a bonkers 4756
@@nravenz7538 what weapons setup?
I got a nice double PPC-X setup on a regular Crab, and I will be trying out an Awesome 8Q with 4 PPCs, should be fun to fire 4 X variants at once
@@danielreader4814 Yes Awesome should be great with those shotgun ppc.
@@bogantofan2420 four PPC Xs and a ton of heatsinks
Outkasts scarred by the unforgiving brutality of the arena? no way, So Fresh and So Clean Clean!
I put a ppc x on the king crab with the twin ac 20's. It's a murder machine now! Melting cockpits then obliterating them with the potato gun.
I have like 4 king crabs and I love them all. Especially the one I just followed your advice and kitted out with a ppc-x. Awesome.
Another awesome video man. Thanks
Wow, I love how Duncan’s mere presence is making everyone more sassy.
I did some weapons testing on the PPC-X while I was trying to figure things out with my mods. Slapped four of them onto a KGC Kaiju. Then I took four KGC-KJ with that loadout into an Instant Action match. I have never seen an Atlas obliterated in less than 15 seconds before now.
I love how bonkers some of these new weapons are. 3 or more rapid-fire autocannons makes for so much carnage on-screen I can hardly see. It's great! And those ridiculous PPCs - reminds me of playing MechAssault in the best way possible, ha
Take something with 3 ppc x......you'll go blind the screen gets so bright lol
Heh heh heh. Use the Hero King Crabs four Ultra Auto Cannons. Holy cow
@@bradhedgehog12Or give the other one PPCs :D
@@JoshSweetvale I had. Them ppc x
I have trouble with the main campaign guess I have to live vicariously through you.
If you have issues with the main mission, reach out! Having real people in the seats makes a huge difference. Always fun to drop with someone else.
I love how he hides the whole time in the corner
I am glad you can use them on both the battlefield and the battle arena.
To do list:
* Use Loaderking
* Highlander rebuild - IN PROGRESS
These are some nice scripted missions. Pity you couldn't use the Loaderking today, as that would have been suicidal. Looking forward to more of this.
I bought the DOC and a beat in about two hours I have to say it’s wonderful to see you probably in the back, but what I’m now on the floor that was It’s a singing, but they just had arena looking like anything which Lucy the sharing of Marina for me
Yay! Let's Go Mechwarriors!
I had to cheese the Solaris arena missions. I hid behind a doorway with an AC5 armed Annie.
Lol, the second youtuber I've seen where Duncan doesn't leave the mech bay. As someone who used to work as a QA tester in videogames, I'd give the Piranha QA team a stern talking to.
:) No problem.
Started a new campaign and with the arenas you can do, the grind is so much shorter. Good money, good salvage from the get go. Not to mention the new weapons which you can use almost instantly. As you do the side missions, you get an Orion - ON1-YAJ which can mount three of those new PPC-Xs... talk about shotgunning.
Duncan Fisher is best Duncan Fisher.
Loader king. dump the srm 4, heatsink and m rifle. Put ac 5 RF in its place. add ammo. Mech is set
Jake Mason and Duncan Fisher are really raising the "Bara" for 'Mech gladiatorial combat....I'll see myself out.
I've gotten the ppcx in campaign mode without even buying the dlc. It's great.
On the Stalker you really need to move more of the armor points from rear to front on those side torsos.
Light rifles are fun on the special maulerr from dragons dlc with a mess of medium lasors
Good Lord and a quarter, PPCXs are redonculous even at tier 0
U should place the Dragon to the cold storage to strip it for free.
10 out of 10!!!😊
Which mech would be best for a cannon, x2 gatling cannons and large missile launcher? Cannon and missile launcher preferably on the shoulders. An Alpha shot mode with dual AC10BF to fill the space while cooldown is key. At least it helped A TON for me. I'd probably still get wrecked during these Gladiator missions, they look nuts. 1v10. Wow.
Ppcx with srm splat are real good on a mobile assault mech for cockpit farming
Just happy they got the real drunken fischer voice
I use a slow Annihilator with 4 x PPC X + 4 Medium Pulse Lasers and lots of Heatsinks
I insist you do the Duncan Fisher voice when reading his lines!
oh boy!! We gonna lose so hard! LOL I was laughing my rear off hahahahaha. It is cool having Mason being vocal about his "partner' LOL I'll be bringing my Annihilators heheheh.I am going to use the mod that lets me buy more than my points say I can so I won't lose out on the goodies:) I already have 750m so YES!!!
18:50 maaaan I was excited for the underwater but it’s was a misunderstanding 😭
plat bara!
Do you not stream these on Twitch? Or did I just miss it? I love MW5 I've put 500+ hours in mostly at this point with mods, I use almost the same ones as you. Thank you for linking those by the way!
Adjust the armor on the Stalker, put more to the front.
Drunken Fisher can hide in the corner, makes your job easier..!!
38:00 -- c'mon small pulses/small las for the stalker arms! shrink the SRMs. toss on SSRM 2s for range/ammo?
MOAR REKT MECHS!
Drunkan Fisher 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
AC2 RF are glorious... you just need 4 bin of ammo for each gun too bad we have AI pilot that are unable to move trought arena door, this will hurt a lot later in the campaign t_t
Married couple with some dirty... "tactics" 😂
I have two triple large energy hardpoint awesomes ive named tweedle Dee and Tweedel Dum with triple ppc X and they are clearing missions on their own 😂
I have a Mualer 2P with 4x PPC-X's 2x AP Gauss riles and 2x LRM5's cooling is around 4 with heat being 7, yet can't seem to over heat the mech lol.
THE HBK-4P (HeartBreakKid) IS THE BEST MECH AT THAT TONNAGE!
It will outfight most heavies and even some Assault Mechs!
The voice actor for Ava Masters is about as talented as wet napkin.
The ppc-x has way less heat than the ppc or the er-ppc and any of the heavier lasers.
30:24 I’m getting too old for this Sh”t. Just Like Duke Nukem
So fun 🤗 Solaris was great video idea 🫡
I hope your day is joyful 🫵🏻
Yeah, same bug happened to me. Fisher was stucked inside. PGI should fix it.
Dispite some annoying AI pathing issues on both your and the enemies side, and the new mech not dropping properly yet (hopefully both issues will be patched soon) i have really enjoyed this dlc.
i did find that if you wate too long the ai will stop shooting at each outher ver much but still nice they fight
Why does Duncan Fisher remind me of a Richard Hammond?
Duncan's character is a sort of parody of TV presenters, so I think it fits. Also the portrait art they used for Duncan in the game just straight up looks like an alternate-universe Hammond as a mechwarrior.
@@dhoffnun Hammond always had an affinity for an American cars so is a rifleman a quote murica mech?
the rifle cannons are too slow firing even the BF variants.
rapidfiring autocannons on the other hand are great,swats flyers, medium to long range depending on if its a 2. 5 or 10 (20`s are only viable on a very few mechs due to weapon size)
the ac-5 rapid fire is my personal favorite since it is the best blend of weight, rof, range and damgae. also in the arena fights short range stream srm are king (they fire at double the rate of regular ones)
on a side note, the solaris arena matches is a great way of farming double heatsinks since your rep is so low you can`t take mechs anyway (unless you take both arms side torsos and legs off, since the way salvage works in vanilla is silly)
I went with 3 AC 2 RF and 3 med lasers and double heat sinks. I let my AI use it and they always lead my lance in damage.
you need to put an ac/20 rapid fire on the atlas the rate of fire makes it even if its tier 1, you might see if you can get it on the loader king,
hi i m always stucked in the 2nd duncan fisher mission where we start in the enclose area. i cant get out of the door. any ideas?
LOADER KING LOVE!!!!!
That Prelim Match was way to dark... Fun but Dark... ;(
loader king looks promosing but ya ammo situation needs tweaking
being a cannon fan i'd downgrade both the lasers and the srm rack
Rating !
After watching this second video... I think the only thing that this has over the mod is Duncan Fisher...
I love the new equipment this DLC brought, but kinda disappointed with how rushed it feels and how co-op unfriendly the story missions are.
got my way to the finals with just a Locust. Feeling really good about myself until i found out there was a 1v1 fight at the end...and it was a XXXXX. After 3 rounds of fighting just to lose a 1v1 on that much of a varience killed me mentally.
I see the KI has been improved 🤣
And no, since you started with Assault Mechs and got gifted Assault Mechs, you are allready beyond Crusader Territory again . .
Yeah...the AI is borked for the walls. AI mods aren't ready yet, Tt rulz has them stay there not doing anything. Can be helpful, can be iffy, depending on mech build
so Duncan says hes gonna repair and the he steals it from him and complains about not being able to repair him?
But I have to do to be the DOC was grab the atlas equip CBC lasers plus the girls rifle
Because PPCs NEEDED a shotgun mode, right?
"If you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk!" The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly (1966)
... i take it PPC X is like an energy LBX?
It is and it is absurdly strong. A single tier 4 PPC X has a damage per minute of 950. I have the king crab kaiju running four tier 5s and tons of heat sinks
Does anyone run mods after the patch? I can’t get most of them to even load without fatal errors.
Yeah, give the modders some time to adjust to the new DLC. They are broken currently.
Spoiler Warning
Last chance to look away
You have a fight coming that makes the Campaign finale look easy.
Play a commando with a binary laser cannon in mwo
Lol guess the ai wanted to warm his tush with that explosion at the start.these ai are still dum😅
Tyftv!!
Unfortunately the Arena is buggy and Duncan always gets stuck.
i want to see the hero Awesome with all the ppc xs in the world
1 minute and not even first
I wonder how popular this game would be if they would start at 3005 and have it run up to Battle of Tukayyid. PvP. Destroyed merc unit players get to run the clans. You couldn’t get me off the game. Dig your content bro, but I want this game to finally kick into fourth gear.
wtf, that player agro is ridiculous. It's supposed to be a free for all, this needs to be patched.
They attack the most dangerous target first.
He did so much damage so quickly everything aggro'd at once.
@@glenmcgillivray4707 I understand the agro mechanic, my point is that in a free for all, it doesn't make sense for everyone to stop attacking each other and start marching in lockstep towards the agro . It makes no sense and needs to be changed. Why do you think that is acceptable?
@@Hairballs_58 It's a limitation of the AI. but we could also excuse it as they just gang rushed the guy who nuked those teams.
@@glenmcgillivray4707Its a limitation of the AI because that's how the devs programmed it. You are clearly more forgiving of these devs than I am for some reason.
DLC seems good, but the AI... Come on PGI
yep...
Nothing like creating a DLC that exclusively shows how exquisitely painful and trash the AI is.
ya the AI since the update has been total crap, always getting stuck, never attacking anything, and sometimes just straight up running away from engagements.
I am SERIOUSLY disappointed in this expansion! The AI is garbage times a million, missions are BUGGY AF, and when you are solo on the 2nd half after repairing EVERY SINGLE AI targets you!! I dont care how good of a pilot you are, when its literally 10 v 1 your done, you get shredded before you can take out more than a few mechs. Have rage quit the game soooo many times.
!! Toxic person detected !!
Sure...its Toxic to not want to have to restart 1 out of every 3 matches because the AI derps. Its toxic not to want the AI to calud and ignore other targets when it's 2v2v2v2v2 and stop shooting the target in front of them, turn around and dust you. I get they have an agro system but hell I even tried hiding, helped but the MINUTE you step out and take a mech down its like a bad anime...they all stop and go 'NANI?!...He MUST DIE! @@nravenz7538
I will tell you now, the AI are total morons in the arena. They like to look at walls instead of use a doorway. It's SO bad you have to walk them in yourself if you don't want to fight alone.. It's SO, SO bad in this Dlc...
