Mecha Break may not seem like the easiest game to play, as even the igrosite.ru review points out . However, once you master all of Mecha Break’s core mechanics, you’ll start achieving your first victories in no time. To help you achieve your first victory faster, we’ve compiled a list of Mecha Break beginner tips, covering the key advice and recommendations for PvP and PvE modes.
Basic Tips for Mecha Break Beginners
Here are some general tips that will benefit you in all aspects of the game.
- Play around with the settings. Mecha Break has a ton of adjustable settings, and the base sensitivity can be quite high (mine was), so use the initial tutorial mission as a place to try out new settings. Note that you can customize the layout of many different pieces of information, such as the minimap, kill feed, scoreboard, and more, in the Accessibility section of the Settings menu.
- Check out your striker’s abilities. Of course, when you try out a new striker, you’ll check out their kit, but you might forget what each ability does during a match. To check, press F2, which will bring up a visual explanation of their abilities so you can quickly remind yourself what they do.
- Find your favorite Attacker. Mecha Break features 13 different Attackers, each with different abilities and playstyles, so you’re sure to find one you like. Take the time to read each Attacker’s abilities and choose the one you like, as you’ll be able to unlock new Attackers fairly quickly.
- Use your mods. While the mod system may seem complex, it’s quite simple once you understand what each stat on your mech does. You’ll likely notice during gameplay that you’d like to improve your grapple range or movement speed, so equip your Striker with mods that suit your playstyle.
- Pay attention to your energy. Your energy is crucial to both your overall movement and your survival. Having some energy available in case you need to switch to another target or escape a dangerous situation will greatly help you.
- Try out different roles. In Mecha Break, there are several different “roles” that the “Attacker” fulfills. You have attackers like “Elisness,” snipers like “Narukami,” defenders like “Tricera,” brawlers like “Welkin,” and supports like “Lumine.” By trying each of them, you’ll be able to choose a specific type of “Attacker” depending on the map or game mode you’re playing.
- Optimize your movement. In Mecha Break, optimizing your movement is essential for avoiding captures and navigating large maps. Furthermore, smart movement will also help conserve energy, allowing you to use it when you really need it.
Tips for Mashmake Mode in Mecha Break
Mashmak is a PvEvP fetch shooter mode that serves as one of the primary sources of mods for your mechs. Here are some tips and tricks for your Mashmak runs.
- Mobility is king. Using light Strikers is ideal for Mashmak, as maneuverability and speed are crucial for reaching extraction points in time and navigating the incredibly large map.
- Prioritize loot. While any loot can be valuable, even blue and green supply crates can yield very useful mods, you should prioritize gold and purple crates, as they typically yield better and more valuable rewards.
- Don’t spend too much time mining. Mashmak has a limited number of loot spots, so don’t spend too much time farming, as these spots are often the subject of heated debate, which only gets more heated as the game progresses.
- Be prepared for battle. Mashmak can be very intense, especially as you approach the later stages of your run when you’re battling another squad for the final extract. Also, be on the lookout for squads looking to attack your team.
- Obtain weapon and glider blueprints. They are incredibly important for your strength in Mashmak, as collecting them will allow you to become powerful enough to confidently fight other players and consistently steal their loot.
- Protect your loot. Mashmak allows you to call in a rocket to pick up three units of loot, so if you get something very valuable, like purple or gold crates, grab them as quickly as possible to avoid losing them.
- Stay with your team. In Mashmak’s co-op mode, you’ll be playing with two teammates, so try to stick with them whenever possible. The last thing you want is for them to get beaten in a 3v2 fight, leaving you alone because you abandoned them.
Tips and Tricks for PvP Mech Breaking
Operation Edge and Ace Arena are two PvP modes. While they differ slightly, they work very similarly, so here are some tips and tricks to help you succeed in Mecha Break’s PvP mode.
- Play with purpose. Focusing on securing objectives is the easiest way to win in Mecha Break. While this applies primarily to Operation Edge, as it’s more objective-oriented, you should always focus on completing the game’s objective before constantly hunting for kills.
- Communicate with your team. While you won’t be able to communicate verbally all the time, try to communicate with your team as much as possible using the ping system or text chat. This will significantly improve your team’s coordination, especially in Ace Arena, where prioritizing the same objective is ideal.
- Choose the right attacker. While all attackers are viable, some are better suited to certain game modes than others. For example, game modes focused on holding an area favor defensive attackers, so play according to the map and game mode to give yourself the best chance of winning.
- Have a good team composition. While there’s no way to build a good team composition in solo queue, you can try teaming up with other players and getting a good team composition. Having different attackers for different roles makes winning much easier.
- Learn each Striker. Even if you don’t plan to play specific Strikers, it’s still important to know what they do if you ever encounter them in a game. Knowing specific Striker pairings will help you win games.
- Attack your enemies. Creating fights that are as unfair and “in your favor” as possible is the key to Mecha Break. Some Attackers are simply not very good in certain situations, so you should try to balance the balance in your favor by flanking your opponent or surprising them with your abilities.
