Guerreiro Mech 5 Mercenários – Guia completo de modificação

This guide will show you everything that you need to know how to install and use mods in MechWarrior 5:
Mercenários. In case you encounter some crashing issues after installing mods, we recommend check este guia on how to fix the errors.

Modding Basics

To add a mod in MW5, geralmente, you download a zip file from the Nexus and then unzip it into the game’s modding directory. The standard directory is:

C:\Program Files\Epic Games\MW5Mercs\MW5Mercs\Mods

As an illustration, a mod file structure could look like this:

C:\Program Files\Epic Games\MW5Mercs\MW5Mercs\Mods\Cockpit_HD\<mod files>

Keep in mind that you might have to make the Mods directory if it’s not there already.

Putting your mod’s files in this directory doesn’t turn on the mod in the game; it just shows it in the in-game mod list. Para ativá-lo, go to the mod list and tick the box next to the mod’s name. This action activates the mod’s files, allowing them to change the game. Depois de fazer isso, it’s a good idea to restart the game.

Mods follow a specific order, determining which ones take precedence in case of conflicts. Geralmente, the game handles mod order automatically, so you usually don’t need to worry about it. It’s generally not recommended to manually sort mods in MW5 unless you’re experienced or the mods suggest it. The mods I recommend don’t require manual sorting.

Mods Overview

In the game menu, the names of mods might be different from their names on the Nexus. I’ve mentioned these differences in each mod’s description.
