About MechWarrior Online Legends

01 / THE GUIDE
Quickplay Mode
Quickplay delivers fast, team‑based combat where each player fields a single Mech. The mode lists more than ten maps and at least four distinct game types, allowing you to drop in with your favorite Mech for immediate battles.
Matches are designed for rapid entry and exit, emphasizing quick decision‑making and piloting skill. This mode suits players who want short, intense encounters without long‑term commitments.
- Try several starter Mechs to see which matches your preferred range and speed.
- Stay aware of map layout; positioning often decides the outcome in fast matches.

Faction Play
In Faction Play you field four Mechs per match, aligning with a chosen faction in prolonged engagements. Teams cooperate to conquer and defend planets, earning rewards that expand the faction's territory across the Inner Sphere.
The mode emphasizes coordinated teamwork and strategic control of planetary objectives, providing a longer‑term progression loop tied to faction success.
- Communicate with teammates to coordinate planetary assaults.
- Balance your Mech loadout to cover both offense and defense.

Event Queue
The Event Queue hosts time‑limited modes such as monthly Solaris weekends featuring 1v1 and 2v2 duels, plus Drop Deck formats that allow up to four Mechs per player. Modifiers like Unlimited Ammo and Extra Armor may appear.
These events rotate regularly, offering fresh challenges and additional rewards for participants.
- Check the schedule often to catch limited‑time events.
- Adjust your loadout to match modifiers; extra armor favors heavier Mechs.
