- labelTop 3 Gameplay Mechanics
- 1. Thermal Management Combat: A core strategic mechanic. The mech's engine temperature rises with action; pushing it too far causes a vulnerable thermal shutdown. Players can leverage temperature proximity for buffs (high heat = fast melee; cold = fast guns). 2. Gun Cancel Tricks: Advanced combat techniques where players interrupt a melee attack animation with a firearm input to perform a mobile, damage-dealing trick (e.g., a backflip shotgun blast) that also reloads the firearm. 3. Homestead Simulation: A unique simulation layer where players manage their fuel, ammo, and food production through farming (including hydroponics) and cooking meals to create mission buffs, ensuring the bounty business remains profitable.
