- Getting charged by a charger will not always destroy you. The armour on the side of the mech is heavy so if its charging you, turn the mech sideways and the charger bounces off and does no damage (Similar to if a charger runs into a rock)
- Yes your empty mech attracts aggro and the enemies will destroy it, so stop throwing the call in on crowds of enemies.
- Don't waste missiles on crowds of enemies. The splash damage is a joke so just save them for heavy armoured enemies.
- Mechs are immune to fire/gas damage.

Mechs feel so good. Super powerful with clear weaknesses, i love it.

[Sandra-yhye]

Another tip: the bonus effects from your equipped armor work while inside the mech. If you have the 30% reduced detection, then enemies won't detect you from as far and if you have the 50% to avoid death, then you have a 50% chance to survive when the mech gets blown up (actually a bit less than 50%, because if you get hit by anything else during the animation, you could be toast).

[DangStank]

The personal bubble working in the mech is really interesting. Makes me want to make a full mech centered build.
Personal bubble, big bubble, mech. True tank acquired

[Stone]

You think maybe the quad autocannon Mech is intended for anti-bot and the this is skewed for anti-bug.

[d-bigboy-]

For the bot striders, u can shoot they're waist, the bit between their legs, with the machine gun to take em out. So u can save those rockets for bigger enemies. Also be aware of your surroundings. Pay particular attention to when you're shooting rockets. I've died more to blowing myself up from hitting a rock or wall when shooting a rocket than anything else. Though, that could be a skill issue lol I'm not the best player

[ythandlename]

When you're on the mech, you just have to remember that your whole trip on it will be worth the ride only if you're able to disperse all your ammo efficiently and then abandon the mech and use it as a meat shield as you retreat safely. The greatest thing about this over the other strategems is that it's sorta like two support weapons and you're given hyperarmor hp to unleash them. Just like the shield dome, it's best advantage is being able to deliver heavy ordinance safely without needing to worry about getting hit or killed while firing. It's mostly a offensive tool, just not a big bomb to throw or just a fancy weapon you use, it's a powerup that lasts for as long as conserve how you shoot and ride on it.

The mechs are great against bugs in my opinion. Bots too but to a lesser extent. Good for difficult pushes against bugs, and not good against bot defenses since they can shoot you with rockets. Ive found its best to keep a good distance from enemies and stay near your team.

[locsmiths]

I have only used them for extraction. That just made the most sense to me.

[Kazrel]

The melee is definitely worth using, if you hit the charger's leg you can kill it in 2 stomps, also turning you mech to the side allows you to "parry" a chargers rush with your arms, it can still 1shot kill you with the mash follow up but allowing it to run into will stun it long enough to get a rocket shot or stomp in on it's legs.

[rainforrestman]

The flamethrower feels sooo good against the bug right now. Loving the mechs after using them a few times

[rickg.]

Would be cool if the mech had an emergency evac button that launches you into the air with a parachute or something

[damienblackfyre]

I remember all of your battlefront 2 videos. It’s good to see you covering Helldivers 2!

[watcherwatching]

Mechs have 2 fuel cans on the back. If they are hit you are toast.

[agidyne]

Any bugs or glitches the mech has, I like to believe it was the robots that sabotaged them. They had the planet for a while, they must've done something to the mechs. I was piloting a fresh one when it suddenly explodes. Nothing was close to me either.

[LordRazer]

For factory's you could just wait for the doors to open and lob a rocket inside. The door is just a vent that opens to let enemys out

[bigidiot]

A lot of people in here repeating the "turn to the side" thing they saw on the reddit. That's not actually necessary. Charging itself doesn't damage you - it's the follow-up melee attack that will do it. A strict charge will bounce off your mech from the sides, but also from the front. The bigger issue is that then the charger will do its little melee stomp, and that will destroy you from the front or the side.

[miggyalejandro]

Mechs arent just an easy win so thats great. You actually actually have to be smart about using it.

[zero]

Do not use rockets to blow up a big hole. They do SO much more damage than a grenade.

Use pretty much anything instead of a rocket to take out a bug hole. It’s like using an orbital rail cannon strike to take out a commander bug.
