There's a few Mechs from the HOTS missions listed here as well which you cannot typically purchase from the market without editing. Also note that if it's not on the list then it's available from or earlier. Please note this only lists when they become available, not where. Since this is an Inner Sphere 'Mech, players can swap out anything in the Atlas (even its engine or armor type) and make it truly their own.Okay maybe they aren't all fantastic but below is a list of when certain Mechs and their variants should start appearing on the market. They can even make use of MechWarrior Online's extensive customization options. Naturally, the mighty Atlas was included among the initial assault 'Mechs, and even now, despite dozens more 'Mechs being in the game, players are still ready to strap themselves into an Atlas to dominate the battlefield. From that point on, the Atlas routinely appeared in MechWarrior games, and it was one of the first 'Mechs players could use in the multiplayer-only MechWarrior Online.ĭuring that game's open beta, only four 'Mechs of each weight class were available, forcing players to stick to the tried-and-true staples of the franchise. Unsurprisingly, the massive Atlas is a common sight in the franchise, even showing up in the apocryphal MechAssault and MechAssault 2 Xbox games (which aren't quite canon). However, the Atlas was absent from 1995's MechWarrior 2, though it did appear in 1996's MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries and in the Pirate's Moon expansion pack to 1999's MechWarrior 3. But nevertheless, the Atlas remained an icon, a chillingly familiar sight to any soldier who saw it on the battlefield. In later decades, after the Clan Invasion, newer assault 'Mechs arrived to compete with the Atlas, from the high-tech Akuma and Hauptmann to the Sagittaire and others. Back home in the Inner Sphere, the dreadful Succession Wars were raging, and the Atlas continued to dominate the battlefield, especially in the armies of House Steiner and House Kurita.
Years later, in the faraway Clan homeworlds, his son Nicholas piloted an Atlas II (a related design) to boost morale among the desperate colonists and give them a symbol to look up to. In the lore, the Atlas became one of Kerensky's personal 'Mechs, and the design was closely associated with him. Many enemy pilots will simply flee from the Atlas before it gets close, surrendering before firing a single shot. These weapons are common in the MechWarrior games, and this loadout allows the Atlas to fight its foes at any range, though close range is best. RELATED: MechWarrior: How the Dire Wolf Became the Strongest Mech EVERĪt range, the Atlas can soften up its foes with an LRM 20 rack. It has one medium laser per arm and two more on the back so it can shoot in any direction. The Atlas also has an SRM 6 rack in the chest for extra firepower. The Atlas is armed with an autocannon 20, capable of blasting a hole in any target with just one or two shots. From that point on, the Atlas routinely appeared in MechWarrior games, and it was one of the first 'Mechs players could use in the multiplayer-only MechWarrior Online. Up close, the Atlas is downright unstoppable, especially with its choice of weapons payload. However, the Atlas was absent from 1995's MechWarrior 2, though it did appear in 1996's MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries and in the Pirate's Moon expansion pack to 1999's MechWarrior 3. This is a 100-ton monstrosity with a humanoid shape, complete with two fists that can pulverize anything with one punch or seize smaller 'Mechs and toss them around with impunity. Kerensky personally insisted on a skull-shaped head for the machine, and that design alone took quite some time to work out - but it was worth it. However, the great general Aleksandr Kerensky asked his experts to create a mighty assault 'Mech that would use fear itself as a weapon to demoralize and haunt any opponent unlucky enough to face it. This has driven BattleMech design since the 2430s, and by the 2700s, during the era of the great Star League, it seemed that BattleMech design had reached a plateau. The lpi charts shown above were available in four quadrant charts, which I still have.
In MechWarrior lore, many interstellar nations and empires challenge their engineers to come up with the best and deadliest weapons of war, seeking even the slightest edge of their enemies. I now use the Virtual Moon Maps, but still have a paper collection.
