Update 1. 8. 1. 3
- Fixed Itemlist; now you get a LosTech reward after Flashpoints. The game will not freeze.
- Panic System mod included.
- Hero Mechs get a Tag, They should be not spawn so often in Missions.
- Rezise the Marauder II. Finaly it works ;)
Update 1. 8. 1. 2
-New Fixed Item: Engine Double Heat Sinks; Only for LosTech Chassis. It takes
no space, you can drag and drop equipment over it.
-Itemlist reworked for a better work with with the Addon New Mechs Plus; I had
the problem that Stinger, Wasp and Crusader are often the only Mechs available
Custom Mechs: a second cicada variant, Javelin, Griffin and Locust. They are
equiped with the last new weapons from the DLC.
I replaced only one or two weapons on the 16 Mechs with their LosTech variant
from DLC. An example, I replaced the AC10 on the Centurion with an UAC10.
Heavy Metal Plus Rerelease is a balance mod for Battletech that adds new equipment and weapons to Skirmish mode, compatible with BT 1.9.x and ModTek 0.7.7. It also introduces an Endosteel addon and removes special equipment from DLC mechs, making it purchasable. With 98 endorsements and 2,990 downloads, it's a niche but established mod for players wanting more customization.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 98 endorsements and nearly 3k downloads.
- Adds meaningful content for Skirmish players who want more loadout options.
- The Endosteel addon gives extra depth for min-maxers.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may not work with newer Battletech versions or ModTek releases.
- Description is incomplete, cutting off mid-sentence, so you'll have to dig for full details.
- Requires Heavy Metal DLC and ModTek, so it's not for vanilla players.
For Battletech players who own the Heavy Metal DLC and want to expand Skirmish loadouts with new gear and Endosteel. Skip if you're on a newer game version or prefer vanilla balance.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have ModTek 0.7.7 installed and activated before adding this mod, or it won't load.
- Since the mod alters DLC mech equipment, test in Skirmish first to see the new purchasable gear.
- Check the mod's forum page for any patches or updates from the community, as the author hasn't updated since 2020.
