📋 About This Mod
Lets all heroes spawn on the field as enemies for players to salvage.
Because this mod includes the unit cards for YAML community heroes and the MWO hero imports, it's recommended you run that as well so you don't potentially get dropships with nothing in them in the worst case if the game draws that card with no associated data.
You will occasionally find damaged hero mechs in the market, this is because of the intro usage they use to show up in the field.
Never Meet Your Heroes turns all heroes into field enemies for players to salvage, adding a new challenge to the game. It includes YAML heroes and is recommended to run with that mod. With 63 endorsements and 1,616 downloads, it's a niche gameplay mod for players seeking tougher encounters.
