Welcome to the Clan Invasion Mod!

Just your friendly neighborhood BEAR here.

This Mod is updated weekly with new content, mechs, weapons and equipment. we have currently added the following:

As of today (March 3 2022):

Vanilla 'mech variants added: 402

Unique weapons and equipment: 430

New unique 'mech chassis: 53

Variants of unique mechs: 152

Our goal is to eventually add EVERY SINGLE LORE VARIANT WE CAN FIND to this game. Yes, you read that right. No, I'm not kidding.

Its like you're new here or something....

THIS MOD IS STILL VERY MUCH A WORK IN PROGRESS

Seriously. You do not have to play this if you're scared of a little bit of weirdness. No one will hold it against you. Except me. I will.

You can report any bugs you find on our Discord, in the bugs channel. Depending on how drunk we are you may even get your hands on a pre-release build with hilarious bugs. We haven't had any major crashing bugs or major playability issues, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Join our Discord if you wish to report them. It's very easy for us, keeps it all in one place.

LIST OF UNIQUE ADDED MECHS

To be honest I don't like you folks enough to type all of these out. Not that I don't like you at all, just not enough to type them out.

There are a ton of them, you can find the total list here.

If you have a mech you want to see put in, head over to the Discord and request it there, we will see what we can do. No promises.

Pirate Mech Clarification

The "Pirate Mechs" were all made in a single night of drinking and video games. A method was discovered where we could load one mech's skeleton on top of another and let the engine figure it out. As expected, most combinations we tried were unholy nightmares of which we are still trying to cleanse from our memories.

However some turned out OK, and some terrific. With a little weapon hardpoint customization we ended up with a plethora of frankenmechs.

In love with our new found abominations we named them and added them. Since these are essentially 2 in-game mechs literally smashed together, there is no way to further edit the models. Some have wonky toes, knees or other clipping issues. They were born that way and can not be fixed. We love our children all the same.

Just be thankful you
