MechWarrior 5 – How to use a controller

Don’t be fooled by the image above: MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries fully supports the use of an Xbox handcuffs if you prefer to trample one. All you have to do is plug one in, basically.

MechWarrior automatically detects and responds to Xbox controllers.

Just plug your controller into your PC and the game will recognize it immediately. He just won’t feel that way for a variety of reasons. On the one hand, the controller does not interact with the menus. He also doesn’t control your character in the MechBay, at least not as he should (he tries to treat him like a mech, and since humans don’t have a throttle, he won’t move).

Load up a mission and you will find that the controller is working there, despite the menu entries saying “none” for some actions. You can remap however you like, but the basic layout works quite well. You cannot map combination prompts, so you will still need your keyboard for some actions.

That said, controlling a robot with your gamepad is pretty straightforward: the left stick handles your throttle and legs, while the right stick affects your torso and aim. Both triggers and bumpers are assigned to weapon groups one through four, and the face buttons allow you to refocus your robot (A for torso on legs and B for legs under torso), zoom (X ) and the Y button allows you to scroll through groups of weapons. This works in tandem with the d-pad, where the weapons move up and down, and move left and right between different groups. Clicking the left joystick to activate your jump jets (if you have any) and clicking the right will cycle through the targets.

It should be noted that I have not been successful with direct input controllers.

MechWarrior 5 – How to change your speed

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is your first foray into the mech genre, and you don’t know how to handle your speed like you randomly plow in a warehouse. There are a few keyboard shortcuts and options you need to know, and they will make it easier to control your robot’s speed.

Use W and S to increase or decrease your acceleration, or the numbad to choose a percentage.

W will increase your acceleration, while S will decrease it or put you in reverse. The accelerator indicator on the left next to your paperdoll shows how fast you are currently, and each line represents a percentage. If you want an exact percentage for your speed, you can use the numeric keypad to select one. It works as you might expect: one for ten percent, two for twenty percent, etc. You can use them to set a speed you’re comfortable with during a fight, allowing you to focus on your movements, your legs, and your goal.

That said, you can also press the Add key on the numeric keypad to activate Throttle Decay. This means that your throttle – your speed – will automatically decrease to zero after releasing the W key. This can be useful for quick adjustments, but it may take a while for new players to adjust, as you have to put your throttle on. feathered to maintain the desired speed.

Additionally, you can press G to go at the current rate of your lance, although this tends to be at maximum acceleration. Use it to follow your lance, since maximizing your throttle is fairly easy to do with W. Remember that your speed will decrease when you get into something you won’t be able to plow, but turning will increase your speed. ‘accelerator to where it was. The same goes for walking through things – you’ll slow down as you walk through a building, but you won’t need to revert to your previous speed once you’ve walked through it.

And here’s how to control your speed in MechWarrior 5. For more guides, be sure to keep an eye on our guides page.

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries

For some, MechWarrior is a religion.

I was first introduced to the show in the 90s by a guy who had what I can only describe as a “battle station”. His chair was rigged with joysticks on his arms. He was wearing a force feedback vest when his robot was hit. He was even working on a jury-rigged VR device years before it was popular. You could say he was the perfect gateway to the show.

For me, the BattleTech universe really clicked when I formed my own MechAssault team and became the highest ranked player in the world (no one could beat my catapult) on a ranking system that was pre-MLG, pre- esports. So when MechWarrior 5 was announced I was ready for it.
