There are three massive overhaul mods available for BattleTech, but given that a campaign with any of them is likely to take you dozens of hours, I'm only focusing on one, which I feel is the most polished and coherent of the three: BattleTech Advanced 3062. (Image credit: BattleTech Advanced 3062) The must-play community expansion mega-mod There are of course plenty more options over on Nexus Mods to let you customize it to personal taste, but really, what you’re here for is the power of running a real mercenary operation, right? A dropship loaded with heavy weaponry, a mountain of salvage awaiting at the end of every operation.

You can skip it after a while, but not playing it at all is nicer.

Skip Intro - For some reason the game runs the intro animation every time you play. Unofficial BattleTech Patch - Smaller and less comprehensive than it sounds, but it fixes a handful of old bugs that still plague the game to this day, the nastiest of which was the Brace order (telling a pilot to hunker down for a turn) not properly cooling down a mech. Once you’ve downloaded Modtek above, just download the Performance Fix, unpack it to your Mods folder and you’re good to go. BattleTech’s load times and general optimization were never the greatest, and patches and DLC didn’t make things much better.

Make sure you run ModTekInjector.exe at least once or it won’t do anything.īattleTech Performance Fix - Less quality-of-life, more technical essential. Doesn’t do anything by itself, but you should follow the instructions to install it before anything else. BattleTech Mod Loader/Modtek - A fundamental package required by a lot of BattleTech’s mods.
