Mecha Break: Customizing Strikers and Pilots – Style Guide [Released]

In a title featuring colossal mechanized suits, the array of personalization choices is remarkably extensive. It’s astonishing how much enjoyment can stem from battling creatures with such stylistic flair. Navigating modification systems may prove complex for newcomers, mirroring cosmetic systems in live-service titles where visuals don’t impact combat effectiveness.

Mecha Modification Interface Guide

All aesthetic adjustments occur within the Design Interface located in your Mech Hangar. Five distinct modification categories exist, each influencing your war machine’s appearance differently:

  • Exterior: Alters particular sections of your mechanized unit. Complete exterior overhauls remain unavailable, with future implementation uncertain.
  • Coloration: Apply uniform or selective hues across your machine’s surface through detailed paint customization.
  • Decals: Surface graphics that enhance visual identity through artistic patterns.
  • Emblems: Achievement-based markers displayed on your unit, limited to five simultaneous displays.
  • Detailing: Refined color adjustments for accenting specific mechanical components.

Initial access provides basic modification tools, with advanced options unlockable through Corite currency earned during gameplay. Three design presets are available – first free, others requiring 2,000 Mission Tokens each.

Operator Customization Process

Players can modify their avatars through the Personnel Interface, accessible via main menu navigation. Multiple appearance parameters allow granular control over operator presentation:

  • Body Art: Premium skin markings obtainable through marketplace transactions.
  • Vocal Profile: Customize operator voice characteristics.
  • Performance: Set celebratory animations triggered by in-game accomplishments.

Expanding Visual Options

Additional mech customization elements primarily come from successful mission completions in Mashmak mode. Paint kits occasionally drop from defeated adversaries. Mission Tokens, earned through daily objectives and special challenges, unlock cosmetic items from the in-game marketplace.
