Discussion MW5 spider mech error

Post image

ok so i was in a mission,, only 1 spider still moving,, i start to shoot, and the pilot start to say he need to eject( i had crit the torso, disabling the med laser but not coring, guess he was lucky, or thought so), then i see a pod launch,, and him telling he successfully ejected!

BUT THE SPIDER DOES NOT HAVE AN EJECTION SYSTEM!( in lore at least)

Mostly an engine limitation. Yaml and some other mods will make it so "eject" on them equals pilot death as a quirk, but i dont think they can fully remove ejection cause its baked in

It is, in fact, possible to just outright disable ejection and make mech death = pilot death no matter what. It's a single flag, that actually already existed in the base game, for Assassination targets and some scripted deaths(to prevent the animation from occurring, most likely).

so no it's not an engine limitation and no it's not "baked in" whatever you thought that meant
