In the high-octane world of Mecha BREAK, a fast-paced, team-based third-person shooter, achieving victory often hinges on seamless teamwork. Piloting your custom Striker alongside friends, coordinating attacks, and providing mutual support are paramount to becoming a top pilot. This guide will walk you through the steps to easily connect with your squad and jump into the fray together.
Mecha Break: How to Add Friends
Before you can dive into the multiplayer action of Mecha BREAK with friends, you’ll need to complete the game’s initial tutorial. This mandatory process includes:
-
A single-player prologue mission.
-
Two required tutorial matches: one standard 6v6 game and one Mashmak PvPvE match.
Once these tutorial missions are successfully completed, you will gain full access to the main menu and be ready to team up with other players.
Follow these steps to add friends in Mecha BREAK and begin playing together:
Launch the Game: Start Mecha BREAK. You will typically find yourself at your main Striker Bay/Hangar screen.
Access the «COMM» Menu: On your home screen, look for a tab labeled «COMM» (for Community) in the bottom-left corner. Click on this tab.
Navigate to «Add Friend»: Within the «COMM» menu, you should see an «Add Friend» option. Select it.
Search for Your Friend: You’ll find a search bar where you can type in your friend’s exact in-game name (their display name, usually found next to their profile picture at the top of their screen). Ensure the spelling is precise, including any capitalization.
Send Friend Request: Once your friend appears in the search results, select their name and send them a friend request.
Friend Accepts Request: For the connection to be official, your friend will need to accept your request. They can do this by navigating to their own «COMM» or «Friends» menu and checking the «Friend Requests» tab.
How to Team Up with Friends or Randoms in Mecha BREAK
Once your friends are officially added to your friend list, you can easily invite them to your squad before a match.
-
Inviting Friends: From the Friends page of the Comms menu, you can invite them to your squad. At the time of writing, some players have reported occasional issues with the «Invite» button not working or the friend list showing a «no relevant info found» error. If this happens, a common workaround mentioned by players is to use the «Recruit» option (see below) and have your friends join your recruitment post.
-
Cross-Platform Play: Mecha BREAK supports cross-play between PC (Steam and Xbox App for Windows) and Xbox Series X|S. This means you can team up with friends regardless of whether they are on PC or Xbox. PlayStation 5 cross-play is expected later.
-
Server Regions: It is crucial that both you and your friend are on the same server region. Mecha BREAK does not currently support cross-server play, meaning players on different servers will not be able to team up directly. Check your game settings to confirm your selected server.
How To Play With Randoms in Mecha BREAK
If your friends aren’t online or you simply want to team up with other players, Mecha BREAK offers a «Recruit» feature:
-
Click on the «Recruit» option (usually found near the «Play» or «Strike» button in the Striker Bay lobby screen).
-
From here, you have two choices:
-
Join an existing squad: Browse available recruitment posts and join a team that fits your preferences.
-
Publish your own recruitment: Create your own recruitment post, allowing you to set prerequisites such as preferred language, squad rules, and the game mode you intend to play. This is also a workaround if direct inviting of friends is buggy, as they can search for and join your recruitment post.
-
By following these steps, you’ll be well-equipped to team up with your friends or other pilots and dominate the battlefields of Mecha BREAK.
