Mech 4 mercenaries : Capturing Enemy mech’s

[style]

Since i started playing again i’ve been trying to find out is there a special method to increase your chance to salvage the enemy mech during the campaign.


One of the guides suggested that if you destroyed both legs the mech would be taken out of action and could be captured .

Its somewhat hard to figure out in the heat of battle with my computer allies. I was not sure if this would work with mektek expansion packs

there are some points where you can capture empty mechs during the campaign

Another mentioned that if the final blow was too powerful and destroyed the both sets of armour
it would explode the reactor destroying the mech. So no salvage


what is everyone experiences ?

I mostly got unrelated salvage.  Sometimes complete models I didn't even see in the mission

Yeah i know there are some missions where you automatically get mechs as 'gifts'

May also have to do with my choice of weapons.

I use to use LBX's and target the center torso maybe causing the reactor explosion
this time i'm using ultra 20 autocannons and PPC's targeting the legs more

Something seems to have made the difference as i seem to be getting  mechs more often salvage  than i remember getting last time

I'm playing the the wolf faction who get access to lots of clan tech. I don't think that is the difference

I don't think there's anything you can do (shooting at legs) to increase your chance to salvage enemy mechs in MW4 Mercs. But I may be wrong. And if I am wrong, I want to know.
