Description



Eight new ‘Mechs have been added to the world of BATTLETECH, including seven classic designs from the original board game along with a never-before-seen ‘Mech designed exclusively for this expansion. New methods of destruction await as eight devastating weapons systems are now available to wreak havoc like never before. Heavy Metal takes ‘Mech action to the next level with a brand new Flashpoint Mini-Campaign featuring two legendary characters from the famous mercenary group, Wolf’s Dragoons, and a mysterious derelict cargo ship.

ONE ORIGINAL AND SEVEN CLASSIC BATTLEMECHS

Seven classic ‘Mechs from BATTLETECH’s 35-year legacy make their triumphant return along with the first completely new ‘Mech designed exclusively for this expansion. Each classic ‘Mech comes with unique equipment that reflects the flavor and lore of the original board game.

EIGHT GAME-CHANGING NEW WEAPON SYSTEMS

Eight all-new weapon systems can be utilized to destroy even the most formidable opponents in a wide variety of unique ways: the new ‘Mech Mortar is the first AOE weapon in BATTLETECH that can destroy multiple units at once while the new Inferno Missiles coat a target in burning fuel causing enemies to shut down in combat.

NEW FLASHPOINT MINI-CAMPAIGN

Come face-to-face with two legendary characters from BATTLETECH lore - the Bounty Hunter and the Black Widow of Wolf’s Dragoons. A derelict cargo ship has drifted into the Periphery from deep space; what secrets does it contain, and who will ultimately control its mysterious payload?

The third of three expansion packs released for the game. This expansion primarily focuses on expanding the mech roster by adding 10 mech types: Light - Flea; Medium - Assassin, Phoenix Hawk, Vulcan; Heavy - Archer,

nothing mods don't already cover. but as I mention in my other review if you're going to buy the dlc then you'll buy the dlc. only worth on sale still the archer and annihilator are both great mechs though.

Overpriced as hell, not really worth paying that much. Wait for a sale, or see if you can get it for cheaper elsewhere. At the absolute most, you should be paying half the price. That said however, a buncha new weapons

Overpriced as hell, should have been in the base game. Screw Paradox, they always do this garbage.

The added weapons are INCREDIBLE!!! and for those who like the Locust, or ever wanted a better version, than the FLEA is your new best friend, weighing twenty tons but can easily be equipped with a heavy laser!!!

These DLC should have been included in the base game. They don't add very much.
