5.0 out of 5 stars Best Guide Ever, December 11, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets (Paperback)
This is the absolute best guide i have ever read. It gives detailed facts on all the mechs including the ones from the lousy patch-in-a-box mech paks. Some even have Cyberlore employee custom designs. That is the best part Cyberlore helped them bring this book to its creation.

They include a complete weapons chart broken into three parts for ease of use. Some single player strategies for the missions and Solaris VII along with multiplayer strategies. It gives you the starting equipment and c-bills of each company along with the advantage of that specific company. There is also a list of lancemates for hire. All mission requirements are given along with when they are available and when they will become closed permenately.

This is the guide to buy for all your Mech 4: Mercs needs.
