Press X as fast as possible for extra hair.

Holy shit! I thought you were taking the piss, but I just went and tried it and, well...



I'm floored that nobody's found this before..how did you even know about this if it's not out there on the scene yet? Does your dad work for Capcom or something?

Gives you an extra health bar. One that doesn't drain your thermal energy when you get hurt, but you can't repair it either.

It also makes you 500% more clanky and futuristic, which I think is worth something on its own. You can teeeechnically repair it with the Injection Gun 2 and Regen grenades, though! It makes those two normally quite bad unlocks pretty cool if you plan ahead which, er, we don't usually do.

The other good bit about the battle armour is this old youtube.

They do not. Enemies only use VSes if they spawn into the level already in them, and they always spawn in the same places. It would be kind of neat if baddies could swipe your cool robots, but particularly in a co-op game where your friends are ALREADY ganking all your stuff, having the enemies not be able to just take the keys to your GAN-34 or THX-1138 or whatever is probably a good thing.

Yeahhh. The closest you get to enemies getting into VSes is that some baddies will sit in a VS cockpit and activate it the instant you get into its sight range--not exactly the same. It's better just to think of VSes as effectively robots rather than suit-thingies in LP2.

I'd like to see enemies pinch your VSes though; the situation you suggested just sounds funny and exciting to me!

For any who missed it on v.lp, it looks like Mercs2 is finally on the LP Archive with a snazzy background.

Here it is!

Hey, you stole my thunder!

Yeah, after a fair old bit of work we've finally dumped Mercs2 in the archive--sorry it took so long! I'm going to blame it on the fact that baldurk forced me at gunpoint to personalise the layout a little bit by slapping favelas on top of it. He totally did force me, the tyrant!

Oh, and now that I've got the ability to upload long videos, I'm gonna upload all of Mercs2 to youtube as a backup mirror instead of Viddler/Wegame. It's going to take a little while, though, so please hang on.

He must've, so yaaaaaaaay!

Whoooops. Sorry, that was my dumb oversight! Baldurk ever-so-graciously did some magic with it after you and a fella on twitter flagged the problem up and now all the cool stuff is hosted locally on lpa on seperate pages, including update pictures and everything! That's one bit I'm very glad to have on there.
