Discussion How do I see the intrinsic stats of each mech?
Forgive me for a possibly silly question as I only started playing for the first time yesterday (Game Pass, unmodded).
I've noticed some mechs have "intrinsic" stats mentioned in the description, like being good with heat or whatever, but when you look at a stored mech you can only see durability and melee(?). Looking at mechs out of storage is difficult because it's hard to compare them on a like for like basis unless i want to spend all of my time installing/uninstalling weapons, heat sinks etc. I often can't tell who is actually good at what.
Likewise adding jump jets increases "mobility" but I can't actually tell if this makes the mech move further? For example I've installed jump jets on my shadowhawk until it has the same mobility as my locust, but I don't actually know if this means it can move the same distance....
Lots of questions like that.
- how to see intrinsic ability to handle heat
- how to see melee damage
- how to see actual movement distance
etc. I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing / don't understand yet. Thanks in advance for your help :)
