But if the target is really solid the AC20's advantage is wasted and the SRMs are much better So the AC20 works better against medium mechs where it might punch through with the first shot, maybe even taking a torso or a leg to cripple the target. The AC20 lands all 100 damage on a single location. You fire three SRM6 racks you'll do about 50% more damage, but it will be spread all over the target.

The only Black Knight I've seen was in the treasure hunt mission. And I've just faced a couple of Jagermech pairs, one of the standard set and one of the LRM sets. I didn't see a Catapult for ages, until the mission against the Dropship. I don't remember when I saw a Quickdraw, but I have one I barely use so I must have faced a couple at some point.

After that I saw an Orion, a few Dragons and so many Thunderbolts it was crazy. The first heavy I saw was a Grasshopper, which I only managed to salvage complete because a lucky head hit combined with knocking it down a bunch of times so the pilot died in what was otherwise I really healthy mech. That's usually enough to get it, but you can also take out a leg to cause another knockdown for an injury. Then carefully position yourself and use called shots to take out each side torso for two more pilot injuries. Knock it down once, preferably twice (I do it with LRMs), to get the pilot injuries.

Kill all the other mechs as quickly as possible so you can focus solely on the one you want. This was all still done in the same general area of space, so I think it really is just random.īest advice I can offer is, as soon as you see a mech you want, focus on getting it. Oddly, in my previous playthrough (didn't finish, restarted at about the fifth story mission), I didn't see any Jagermechs and hardly any Quickdraws, but tons of Thunderbolts and Orions. I've seen several Jagermechs and Quickdraws, but very few Orions. I've only seen the one Grasshopper and Black Knight in my current playthrough (and they're both mine now). The story missions mention that Victoria's mech (the PPC Catapult) is not often seen outside the Draconis Combine, but how true that fluff-statement is in terms of gameplay, I don't know. I've seen people say they could be region-based, but I've seen no confirmation. Are they more likely to show up / be available to buy in certain regions? By the same token, I've never seen a standard missile-Catapult, and I've only ever seen one each of the Black Knight or missile-Jager. Thunderbolts and Quickdraws for days, no Grasshoppers.
