Jenner JR7-K7(3B ARMs, 1M CT) (6B & 1M)
Spider SDR-7V(1E ARMs, 4E STs, 2E CT) (8E)
i purposely chose mechs that had few variants as to pad out variants for MW5,
wail also expanding what that type of mech could do, such as no JR7 having Ballistics or no ENF having missiles.
Adds 6 prototype mechs from BattleTech tabletop and novels, all Apocryphal. YAML-compatible for Mech Engineer. With 95 endorsements and 2,309 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated addition for lore fans.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid niche pick for lore nerds (95 endorsements, 2.3k downloads)
- YAML compatibility means it plays nice with Mech Engineer loadouts
- Apocryphal mechs add variety without breaking canon purists' immersion
⚠️ Cons
- Only 6 mechs — might feel thin if you want a full roster expansion
- Last updated May 2023 — could be stale if the game's modding scene moved on
For BattleTech players who love obscure lore and want to pilot prototype mechs from the novels. If you're running Mech Engineer and want YAML-friendly additions, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're after canon-only content or massive mech packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Mech Engineer, make sure the YAML compatibility is enabled in the mod options.
- Check the mod's load order if you have other mech mods — YAML mods can conflict if not ordered correctly.
- Since it's Apocryphal, don't expect these mechs to appear in career mode unless you add them via Mech Engineer.
