Rise of the Scavengers

The Rise of the Scavengers mod contains nine (9) new Flashpoints, eighteen (18) new “Scavenger” ‘Mech variants, a number of unique custom

‘Mechs, many of which can be acquired by the player, along with a number

of gameplay and economy changes, as well as a few surprises. It is set

in 2910, as the Aurigan Coalition is forming, and it intended to be

significantly more difficult than the original game.

Rise of the Scavengers supports Career mode only. It uses the HBS

built-in mod loader, NOT ModTek. BattleTech 1. 9. 1 has been tested for

compatibility with macOS 10 Catalina and macOS 11 Big Sur as well as

Windows 10. BattleTech is NOT supported on Apple Silicon. It has not

been tested for use with mods other than ones included.

Immediately after the first day of a new Career, the date is set to

2910 and the initial four MechWarriors are added to the Barracks. They

are the same four starting MechWarriors from the original campaign:

Behemoth, Dekker, Glitch and Medusa.

The map reflecs the 2910 borders of the Inner Sphere, including the

newly formed Aurigan Coalition. The Capellan borders are in retreat at

this time as House Liao is slowly forced out of the area, withdrawing

Light and medium Turrets act sooner. Sensor and Spotting distance has

been increased. Destroying the right or left torso section of a Mech no

longer causes a pilot injury and the OpFor now has the same chance as

the player to score a critical hit. Pilots now have a chance to retain

their evasion pip when fired upon based upon their Pilot skill. The AI

behavior has been altered, notably allowing the OpFor to reserve and

favor rear shots.

The skill level of the OpFor pilots has been increased across the board.

Procedurally generated contracts no longer spawn units with degraded

armor. Variants of each base BattleMech model now carry upgraded

The impact of events has been slightly increased. Approximately ten

(10) new Events have been added. However, most of them will not trigger

until a Flashpoint, contract, or dependent Event has been completed.

Rise of the Scavengers makes acquiring new BattleMechs more difficult by

altering the chances of getting ‘Mech parts as salvage as well as

decreasing the number and type of parts available in stores. However,

the selling value of ‘Mech parts and components has been increased. Mech

repair costs have also been increased. In addition, there are

significantly fewer MechWarriors available for hire, although those

available ten to be more skilled than in the past.
