How to get Top-tier Mods in Mecha BREAK – Destructoid
The mecha you pilot in Mecha BREAK are all quite powerful out of the box, but you can use Mods to custom-tailor them to your liking. The best Mods you can use are called Top-Tier mods, and getting your hands on them can be rather difficult if you don’t already know how.
Where to get Top-tier Mods in Mecha BREAK
There are two different sources where you can obtain Top-tier Mods. Both methods yield random stats on your Mods but they are Top-tier nonetheless. You’ll know you’ve gotten your hands on one if the Mod has a yellow background.
Opening Seasonal Crates
Your initial source of Top-tier Mods will be from opening the Seasonal Crates, which you automatically obtain just by playing the game. You’ll receive these crates automatically, but you still need to manually open them by yourself. To do this, navigate over to your Inventory from the hanger screen, and click on it there. There’s a good chance you already have a bunch piled up, and there’s no harm in opening them in batches.
Every time you open a crate, you have a chance to receive a Top-tier Mod. In my experience, you have a much better chance of getting a Top-tier mod from a Supply Crate Type II, though the chance is still pretty low. It is highly unlikely (if not impossible) that you’ll get a Top-tier Mod from a Supply Crate Type I.
Craft through Mod Assembly
The other, more guaranteed, method of getting your hands on a Top-tier Mod is by crafting it yourself in the Mod Assembly. You get to Mod Assembly by entering it through the Hanger, pressing the ‘Mod’ button at the top of the screen, and then Mod Part Assembly at the bottom.
Crafting a Top-Tier Mod requires the use of 10 Advanced Mods, making the process quite costly, especially considering the final stats remain randomized. Advanced Mods are distinguished by their purple background, so you can easily identify them while hunting for the necessary components. Gathering all the required Mods will demand a significant amount of grinding, but there is no immediate competitive pressure to rush the process. Why?
Keep in mind that while top-tier Mods may offer the highest stats, they also come with the most severe drawbacks. This is a critical factor to consider when designing any build, as these negative effects can significantly impact your performance. Balancing the benefits and drawbacks of these powerful Mods requires careful consideration. Ensuring that your build can handle the negative aspects while still capitalizing on the positive ones is key to maximizing your effectiveness on the battlefield.
