Notable Salvage Guide

Author's Notes:

Missions from HOTIS DLC tend to have desirable mechs that can be salvaged.

To maximise your gain from these missions, gain rep with the aligned faction beforehand and max salvage points for specific missions.

This list is still being updated. I'll update the proper mech model numbers when I have more time.

I will not include mechs given as quest rewards, EG: King Crab Carapace.

By clicking on this guide, you have agreed to possible spoilers.

Author's Preferred Game Progression:

This is only a general recommendation for starting a new campaign mission. Expect spoilers if you continue reading.

1) Get 2 Archer 2S or Crusader 2R, fill em w SRM4 & Medium Lasers.

**OPTIONAL** Get a Stalker 3F if you can.

2) Gain rep with Davion & Liao to +4

3) Complete Hazing of the Weak, get Black Knight 6B, Highlander 732B & Cyclops 11P or Stalker 3Fb

4) Head over to Marik/Steiner territory, get Archer Agincort, Corsair, Banshee 3P & two Charger 1A5

5) Complete Kestrel Lancer campaign

6) Complete Main Campaign or do cantina quests

7) Complete Rise of Rasalhague

8) Whatever missions you wanna do next.

Liao

Hazing of the Weak

Despite Liao's small size compared to other houses, the loot from Hazing of the Weak is ridiculously good. Other loot include ECM, BAP & Double Heatsinks.

Hazing of the Weak - Mission 2:

Black Knight 6B

ECM Phoenix Hawk

Hazing of the Weak - Mission 3:

Highlander 732b

Black Knight 6B (Spawns after killing Highlander)

ECM Phoenix Hawk

Hazing of the Weak - Part 4:

Stalker 3FB

Black Knight 6B (Requires jumpjets to secret base, spawns after killing all mechs in base)

Cyclops 11P

Griffin 2N

Only The Truth That Sticks

Part 3:

Enforcer 4P

Javelin 10P

Crab 27B

Locust 3S (ssrm)

Double Heat Sinks

Marik

Marik has a good number of interesting mechs to collect.

Most notably, Charger 1A5 for players seeking a small 80 ton atlas.

Blood Minerals - Mission 2:

Enforcer 5P

Crab 27B

Panther 10P

Javelin 10P

Defend the Enhanced - Mission 1:

Charger 1A5

Bow & Arrow - Mission 3:

Charger 1A5

Davion

Kestral Lancer Campaign

Not much notable loot to be gained in this campaign aside from EW probes/countermeasures.

Tikonov - Mission 3:

EW Warfare Probes & Countermeasures

Tigress - Mission 2:

EW Warfare Probes & Countermeasures

Bring Her Home:

Mission 3:

Charger 1A5 (Spawns at the satellite dish furthest from start)

Mission 4:

Steiner

Stop The Launch - Mission 4:

Charger 1A5 (Two Charger 1A5 will spawn in this mission)

You wont have enough points to get all these mechs so choose wisely.

Personally, I prefer the BNC 3P.

X Marks the Spot - Part 4

Grasshopper 4P

Banshee 3P

Charger 1A5

Overall, not much notable salvage from the main story/campaign.

Yamata's Annihilator in Reckoning is not salvagable.

Zeus 5S (UAC5)
