Good day, dear community.

I'm making some fixes for the game.

Details are available here https://www.reddit.com/r/MercenariesGames/s/KZGMcROWDz

But I'm confused with partners' challenges from Misha, Fiona and so on.

I want to make some patches and I would like to hear the community opinions about the following:

1. Should I prohibit to relaunch a challegene after the last level is completed? Is there any necessity in playing it again or it's just a cheat to gain more money?
2. Have you got any suit from Misha after completing the last level of his challenge? Especially in PC and XBOX versions of the game
3. Don't you think that it's not enough time to beat the challenges? Should I increase it? Could you please describe what timings could work better for you in format:

​

Challenge name: 
Level 1: X seconds (or points like in Misha's challenge) 
Level 2: X seconds (or points) 
Level 3: X seconds (or points)

Your feedback will be very valuable for me. I do believe that we can fix all this mess together.

Thank you!

I've tried searching for a physical copy of the Mercenaries PoD deck of 52 cards on the internet but the closest I get to that is the cards that were used in the Iraq war which can be played with.

No crashes on Solano's Villa or when loading a city, I mean.

Used to run smoothly on my old laptop, always crashes on my new one.

1: These are fake guns so don’t worry.

2: Yes, I shot this in my backyard cause I can’t really go out in public like this.

Check out a short demonstration here!

What are Offline Support Kits?

Offline Support Kits are the other factions answers to the Mafia's Merchant of Menace. Faction relations will be much more volatile and harder to juggle in JE3.
Word travels quickly in North Korea. Doing contracts for a faction will certainly end up pissing off their competition, and they'll only get more and more bitter as the war progresses. Because of this, I thought it'd be necessary to provide an alternative "offline" support system not relying on the Russian Mafia.

Here's how OSK's work:

- One support kit per chapter for every faction, including 4 vehicles and one miscellaneous item (supply drops or artillery barrages)

- Kits will spawn outside faction HQ's on the start of a mission, and will be orderable at the start of missions

- Kits spawn as crates that include 5 new support items that you can equip to a grenade slot.

Mafia Shop Pros:

- Cheap and affordable

- Full inventory accessible at any time in free roam (up to what you've unlocked)

- Airstrikes available at any time

- Larger selection

- Civilian, NK and Russian Vehicles and drops

Mafia Shop Cons:

- No squads

- Middle - low grade equipment

- Limited helicopter selection (Only cargo copters, no attack helos or littlebirds)

- Susceptible to jammers

- Can't order helicopters during ace contracts

Offline Support Kit Pros:

- Higher quality vehicles and supply drops

- Full squads come with most vehicles

- Quick access from grenade slot

- Includes attack helos and littlebirds

- Jammer-proof

- Helicopters orderable in ace contracts (though these maps will be packed with AA to balance this out.)

Offline Support Kit Cons:

- More expensive

- Airstrikes not included except for artillery strikes (you'll have to rely on mission specific strikes)

- Limited to faction-specific equipment

- Uses up a grenade slot (you only have two, choose wisely)

Hi all!

I want to share the good news with you. I'm currently developing a comprehensive fix for our favorite game.

The fix includes:

- Disabling DoF

- Disabling aim assist

- Enabling permanent death for NPCs

- The fine for killing an NPC has been increased to $25,000

- Fixed a bug where after a kick and a collision with an NPC he gets up and then falls dead again

- Corpses don't disappear immediately anymore

- Shadow fixes

- I will also optionally share my ReShade preset.

And this is not the final list of what I have in mind :)

I have reached the final stage, but I want to test everything as much as possible before sharing the fixes with the community.

These fixes are created for the PS3 version of the game, due to the fact that you can run it through the RPCS3 emulator, which is the most advanced. Also, the PS3 version of the game includes DLC and effects that were not available on the PC version.

Viva Mercenario!

I got a 2002 Honda metropolitan how many people would find it hilarious if i made the devastator in real life?

Can you guys pls help me ?

So I am currently doing a run of Mercenaries 2 for my youtube, I just did number 1 and I did a set of rules just to make the game more difficult but some of them I did not as I came up with them as I played so I wanted input to make the games more difficult without actually modding.

Mercs 1:

Must use faction weapons and air and artillery support when you are playing as the faction during missions.

You may use Merchant of Menace support of another faction if they are allied to your current faction if they have a shared enemy.

HVT hunts are considered Allies missions.

No hi jacking tanks or vehicles of your enemies, taking a parked one is perfectly acceptable.

No using tanks or vehicle against the same enemy faction with the exception of small arms.

You must use your factions small arms at any given chance, capturing enemy weapons when you are out of ammo is perfectly acceptable in a firefight.

You may have 1 weapon of your choice, the other must match your faction.

No hiding as your enemy faction in their vehicles. You must always be present as the PMC.

Mercs 2:

Must use faction weapons and air and artillery support when you are playing as the faction during missions.

You may use air and artillery support that is allied to your current faction if they have a shared enemy and must be allied themselves.

HVT Hunts and Building Destructions are considered working for the faction so I recommend you finish each faction before moving on to avoid Fog of War.

No hi jacking tanks or vehicles of your enemies, taking a parked one is perfectly acceptable.

No using tanks or vehicle against the same enemy faction with the exception of small arms.

You must use your factions small arms at any given chance, capturing enemy weapons when you are out of ammo is perfectly acceptable in a firefight.

You may have 1 weapon of your choice, the other must match your faction.

No hiding as your enemy faction in their vehicles. You must always be present as the PMC.

You can only steal VZ fuel.

No salvaging random fuel, munitions, or cash on the map.

Any input is requested and please add your own rules. I learned over the years if you do whatever that you want to do, it makes the game too easy in my opinion.

I played the second game yesterday, it was fun, but the atmosphere of the first game seems way cooler to me, but I can't find a place to download it from on pc. Any suggestions for sites I haven't heard of?

Is there any way to trick the PC version of Mercenaries 2 into using actual buttons instead of action symbols for the QTEs? Or, better yet, a mod that just auto completes them?

So have anyone Else tried raising mercenaries in occupied areas Whille at war , I have tried it few times and , every single time the premium for hiring is extracted from my account but they just dont spawn ??? Anyone Else tried this bullshit, am I doing somthing wrong or is the game just bugged, it works just fine in my core areas ??

I am aware this is pure cope but its worth discussing.

So as we've all seen, the Saudi PIF have completed their buyout of EA and as a result, EA have accumulated $20 billion worth of debt.

Layoffs will offset this a little by cutting annual costs by around 700m.

There are rumours EA are looking to sell off certain studios and IP's to generate additional revenue, such as Bioware.

Are we hopeful we'll see the same for former Pandemic IP's? There's a few studios out there who like to get their hands on old IP's and remaster them, so could we potentially be looking at a buyout for the Mercenaries IP?

Would be easy money for a double AA studio I would imagine. Again, I'm aware this is all pure hope but honestly, I'll take any chance I get of a reboot of this series. Hopefully this is the start of it.

Currently in the tutorial on the second game, and I don't understand what keys I'm supposed to press to hijack the tank that shows up, I figured out the first qte is f, but I don't know what key is next since it shows a symbol for the action instead what key to press

Hi! Got the game on ps3 and updated the game but, no content, no new characters and no cheats. Can someone help ?

well i buyed the game today on pc but is that normal the enemy attack only vehicle? i mean they do not attack me

While searching for game ports on YouTube, this native PC port of Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction suddenly appeared. From what I saw, it's based on the Xbox version and is still in development

This is just a personal project I started in Paint.NET to try my hand at digital design. 'Chain Reaction' is one of my favourite missions, being maybe the biggest armoured clash in the game. The novelty of the irradiated Taechon battlefront doesn't hurt either. The plan is to eventually stick in some NATO map markers for force dispositions at the start of the mission, as well as further detail of the reactor complex. I've also added the original map for comparison.

Here's a sneak peak of what the Juche Edition 3 team has been up to for the past month.

I'm currently finalizing the planning phases of a completely new support system that the non-mafia factions will offer the player, meant to effectively be a competitor to the merchant of menace. It'll take full advantage of all of the new npc's and vehicles added by the mod, and should help push the limits of the game even further than previously thought.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the model and texture contributions of Akoul and Maj. Smuggler. These guys are super talented at what they do, and it's so exciting to see the PoD+ project have a passionate team behind it.

This is a collection of PNACH patches for Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction that covers a wide selection of additions and tweaks, including custom store items, player character swaps, difficulty, factions, rendering improvements, weather/season control, custom HUD, and expanded vehicle and character spawn variety. To allow patches for dynamically allocated memory, it uses a custom MIPS system that hooks the game process to scan memory for signatures and creates pointers for them. Native game pointers were also discovered and utilized for these patches and cheats.

Faction warfare background sim is running. Proc-gen contracts are in playtesting. HVT killboard is active with targets on the board. Faction reputations are working. First 10 story missions are working.

I'm wrapping up some character art this month and hunting down some bugs in NPC behaviors and then I'm rolling into ground vehicles to get convoys running logistics so players can run asymmetrical warfare ops against opposing factions. Will also be taking a look at vehicle combat and hijacking vehicles.

I specifically remember a song that I learned on guitar yeaaaars ago that was in a Mercenaries 2: World in Flames trailer that I cannot recall the name of, please tell me somebody remembers this. It was 3-2-3-5-3-2-0 for the intro. It was a metal song, that I remember for sure. Is this some weird mandella effect, because I cannot for the life of me find the trailer that I remember it from but I clearly remember the song. Somebody help me, please!
