Mechwarrior Online: Update brings faction loyalty, significantly advancing the development of the Free2Play MMO

With the latest update for the online action game Mechwarrior Online , the loyalty system of the factions is being introduced.

In the online game Mechwarrior Online, there are various houses that wage war against each other. You can determine which house you want to fight for. However, the system becomes more complex with the latest update, as you determine how loyal you are to a house.

You have the choice of whether you want to make a career as a loyalist of a house or whether you act as a mercenary, working for the houses that pay the best depending on the job situation. Additionally, you can also be a freelancer who stays out of it as much as possible and only takes sides in emergencies.

War Planning and New Game Modes

Moreover, the war-planning feature has been integrated. With this, all players of a faction can vote together on who should be attacked next. Through a leaderboard, you can see who the best mech pilots are. Also new is the game mode “Extraction”. In this, two teams of four players each compete against each other. Your task is to capture at least one data point and then reach the extraction zone where a dropship is waiting for you.

Additionally, scouting missions are available to you. In these, you need to gather important data. Whoever succeeds can gain significant advantages in battles for their unit.

Mechwarrior Online allows you to engage in exciting and tactical team battles in the Battletech universe. You enter the cockpit of a so-called mech, a combat robot that you can improve and expand yourself. Each mech has different advantages and disadvantages that must be used tactically within the team. If you are interested in the MMO, you can download it as a free-to-play game via Steam.
