Enter FREEBIRTHTOAD as a Warrior name in any of the clan halls. Any mission for that Clan may be selected in the briefing room.
Hidden background information:
Select the holo-projector to get a list of background information on the game. Click on the numbers to the left until a menu with information on the development team appears.
Recommended Mech:
Select the 60 ton model and go to the customization screen. Strip away the large lasers and replace them with medium lasers. Go to the LRM-20s and increase the ammunition up to three tons each (eighteen shots total). When you attack, use a very slow approach. Get a lock with 2x LRM20s, and hit them from far away. Almost all of the time they will go down in one salvo. An Atlas may require two salvos. With eighteen salvos at your disposal, you should be able to finish off every enemy in the mission without using the lasers.
Ghost weapons:
Customize a mech so the weapons onboard in an online game to look like the following:
ER-Laser ER-Laser
Mgun LRM-5
LRM-5
The first LRM-5 will be duplicated between the second LRM-5, and take up no mass or critical. It will be invisible, but will do damage when fired and create heat. Note: You have to be in “chain fire” mode. The weapons can be changed, but the number of weapons must be uneven and the last weapon must be on the right side of your mech.
Stealth kills:
If an enemy mech is on the other side of a wall, ram into the wall and zoom in. You will be able to see and shoot through the wall. Note: This trick works with mountains and other walls that can not be destroyed.
Hide in a building or mountain:
To hide in a building or mountain, jump jet forward then shut down before hitting the wall. Note: You must continue to hold the jump jet forward key after shutdown.
Ghost ammunition:
Place your ammunition in the arms of a mech in an online game. If your arms explode before that ammunition is depleted, there’s a 75% chance that that it will become unlimited “ghost ammo”.
