Disable Heat Death
To disable heat death (not exploding when you overheat)
do the following. Take a mech that overheats by shutting
down or explodes when performing an alpha strike. As
soon as you do the alpha strike, quickly use your
coolant by pressing the F key. You should receive a
message that says, "Heat death disabled."
Easy head shots - Salvage a [Clan Targeting Computer]
and equip it on your mech. Then target a mech's head and
fire a large pulse for a one hit head shot kill.
Easy kills - Blow off one leg of a mech. Since a mechs
legs are much weaker then the torso, it makes killing
enemy mechs much easier.
Safe ammo storage - Put your ammunition on the arms when
you build a mech. Normally, when your arm gets blown
off, the items in it are also gone. However, this is not
the case for ammunition.
Easier Salvage - To salvage enemy mechs easier all you
have to do is to shoot off one of the enemy mech's legs.
An easy way to do this a group a lot of medium pulse
lasers together and fire them at one leg.
Unlimited Salvage - There is a way to salvage the same
mech again. Save your game immediately after you finish
collecting your salvage. Then load the game. It will be
back again for you to salvage. It works after any
mission.
Video Select - To view any of the videos from Mech
Warrior 3, open "My Computer". Then right-click on the
Mech Warrior 3 CD, then click on open. Then go into the
video folder. Just double click on the video you wish to
view.
Walk under the battle field and be invisible - First,
you need to go over to the Bridge on top of the
waterfall, if you don't know what I'm talking about,
look on the map just before you push launch on the
desert level. And on the spot where it says start, go 1
square left and 1 up on the map, and it's that bridge
there where it shows it. Second, walk on to the bridge
and stop in the middle face to the top of the waterfall.
When your on the bridge, walk like your going to go off
to the top of the waterfall but you should slide down
the water fall and be able to walk into it. You will be
walking under the battlefield and still will be able to
shoot the enemy Mechs, but they can't shoot you. It
makes you invisible. It might take a few tries but it
does work.
Note: You can't go under the bridge and walk into the
falls, you must do what I said above.
Don't think that an assault mech atomically means you
have the cat by the tail. Even the heaviest mech can
have its legs or chest torn out by a couple of
well-placed AC/20 shots. Keep moving and use cover.
Heat is more of an enemy than in any previous
MechWarrior game. When you modify your loadouts, don't
add more energy weapons than you can cool effectively.
Those machine guns don't look like much, but they can
keep tearing at an enemy while you cool down from that
laser volley you just fired.
When battling enemy heavy mechs, send in whatever lance
mates you have first while you concentrate heavy fire on
the enemy mechs' legs. Use the zoom feature for those
accurate long-range attacks.
