How co-op works
Up to five cross-platform players occupy the five BattleMechs of a Smoke Jaguar Star throughout the campaign. Each pilot manages movement, weapon groups, heat, armor, and positioning while the squad coordinates target priority, formations, and loadouts prepared through MechLab and pilot progression systems.

Each mission demands careful loadout planning, heat management, and target prioritization as you customize your mechs and coordinate fire support. The simulation-heavy controls and layered weapon systems create moments where calling out enemy positions and sharing cooldown windows make the difference between victory and salvage.
Online co-op with cross-platform support lets you form a Star with friends across different systems, turning each sortie into a communication-heavy operation. Whether you're flanking assault mechs or holding chokepoints under artillery fire, the game rewards squads that think like a unit and adapt their lance composition between deployments.
