Ground battles shine with detailed 3D models and dynamic firefights. Players race across maps, fight together, and push for victory. It isn’t just about destroying foes. You can plant bombs in enemy bases, call in covering fire, and even step off your suit to make strategic moves. Scoring comes from disabling MS, grabbing checkpoints, and destroying enemy bases. The team with the most points at the end wins.
The base camp is your hub. Here you buy new MS and tune your current machines. New MS appear every week, so players should keep an eye on fresh arrivals and balance options.
Players launch into missions, chase rewards, and build a collection that fits their playing style. It’s all about earning glory and rising through the ranks as a top MS pilot.
