Know When to Eject
BattleTech Beginner Tips
The biggest mistake I made early on was letting my character die while on a mission. I held off of ejecting him from his mech, thinking that I could handle the remaining enemies before they had a chance to shoot but alas, it ended in failure. When I returned back to my ship I was greeted by the news that my character would be out of action for 101 days. This lost me valuable time, money, and resources and could have easily been avoided had I ejected early on. Ejecting a character is the only way to ensure you get them away from combat before they can be killed. Early on in the game you shouldn’t be afraid to pull someone out of battle, especially since you can usually complete a mission with just two or three BattleMechs. The eject function is located in the bottom left of the screen by the mech HUD and is represented by a red box with a black upwards arrow in it.
Pulling someone out early is much better than having them out of action for weeks at a time, so be generous with that eject button.
