I am very happy to report that Melee combat is FINALLY coming to the Mechwarrior franchise. Say what you will about PGI in the past, this is HUGE news. New Biomes New Missions New Gameplay! https://mw5mercs.com/dlc/legend-of-the-kestrel-lancers Best of all, the Melee update is free to everyone who owns the game. Even better, we don't have to wait; DLC is planned for release September 23rd! We will see how it shakes out, but I stand by what I've said before; despite its flaws, MW5 is becoming the overall best in the franchise.
Steam page is up! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1705820/MechWarrior_5_Mercenaries__Legend_of_the_Kestrel_Lancers/ FREE Update content ● New ability to switch player control to any AI Lance 'Mechs ● New melee combat with the ability to damage enemy 'Mechs with your 'Mechs' fists ● Other new quality of life updates including an updated HUD, and more!
Excellent. Hopefully the MOD/Workshop crews have enough time to fix anything that breaks for the following monday.
