Flashpoints, being the expansion’s namesake, are a big deal. He marks a flashpoint on the star map for me to tackle when ready. The second I get back from that sortie, my executive officer chats with me. Though they’d only have one pair of eyes between the two of them, I’m already imagining them wrecking a whole lot of shop together. So that’s exactly what I’d like to do to the enemy: bring two Cyclops(es) to the field at once. I wouldn’t want to face off against two of them at the same time. That would make the 10-Q and 10-Z variants a formidable duo on the field.
The text on the Cyclops also informed me of a 10-Z variant model with more close-range weaponry and heavier armor. The Cyclops CP-10-Q runs a stock fire support role, which is exactly what it had been doing on the battlefield. It has a sleek hood that was probably the inspiration for the Geth race in Mass Effect. But I couldn’t, of course, pass up on that spanking-new Cyclops, a 90-ton assault mech introduced right here in the Flashpoint expansion.
The headshot on the Atlas provided three pristine pieces of mech salvage that I could’ve taken. The round turned out in spectacular fashion for me-and in spectacularly bad fashion for the Local Pirate Organization. I nearly took its head off, too, but settled for putting a Particle Projector Cannon-sized hole through its midsection. After I popped off a Hail Mary headshot on an elite sniper 100-ton Atlas that pounded its way across the field, the Cyclops, looking very much like its one-eyed namesake, starts hucking missiles from behind a rise of rock that looks like the Devils Tower in Wyoming. I encounter my first Cyclops immediately, brand new in the Flashpoint expansion, and tipping the scales in size. I’m curious as to what Flashpoint can do to keep this high going.
Battletech flashpoint not endless full#
I’m sitting on a Scrooge McDuck amount of c-bills, two full lances of the biggest mechs in the galaxy, and a dozen mechwarriors, two of which have nearly maxed out skills in gunnery, piloting, guts, and tactics. I stomp into the BATTLETECH: Flashpoint expansion flush with cash and assault mechs from the final mission of vanilla BATTLETECH.
