About this mod

A simple mod to add target dummies to Skirmish for testing weapons mods. The mechs have max armor and limited weapons so I can hit them repeatedly with new weapons to judge the effect fairly.

EDIT: If you want to see how I edited the mech files and the mod.json, you can view my informal "How To" on Reddit:

NOTE: This mod only puts the mechs in Skirmish.  They will not appear in Career or Campaign mode.

This is a simple mod to give me some hardened targets in Skirmish to test my weapon mods.  I've selected two mechs from each weight class:
  • King Crab
  • Victor
  • Marauder
  • Rifleman
  • Wolverine
  • Vulcan
  • Jenner
  • Flea

Each mech is stripped of equipment, maxed the armor (then remove enough armor to get to a whole number), added in very limited weapons, and distributed limited ammo in body sections just for fun.  The mechs show up with the tag -TG (FLE-TG).  

Other than changing the weapon & equipment loadouts, the mechs use stock hardpoints, movement, etc.  These mechs will only appear in Skirmish and are not added to Career or Campaign.
