Mecha (MCA)

There are four mechas at your disposal in Shogo. Each one is a little different. Choose the one that best fits your playing style! (Hint: use the MPMECH cheat to cycle through the mechas to find out which one you like best.)

Special thanks to Crawl for help with the screenshots!

Description	Screenshot
Ordog: This is a well-rounded MCA, and the only one you can use in the demo. It strikes a good balance between speed and toughness. Try this one first. In my opinion, it's the best looking mecha. Max Armor: 2000
Enforcer: Quite similar to the Ordog, but a little tougher and a little slower. In vehicle mode, the Enforcer handles a bit better than the Ordog. This is the mecha that I usually use. Max Armor: 2000
Akuma: Speed is the name of the game with the Akuma. It is by far the fastest mecha, both in normal and vehicle modes. Don't get into a knock-down, drag-out fight with this one. If you prefer to rush-in, fire off a few salvos, then rush out, this MCA is for you. Max Armor: 1600
Predator: The biggest and baddest of all mechas, the Predator trades speed and maneuverability for sheer toughness. If you live for head-on combat and always being in the thick of things, get this mecha. Max Armor: 2400

Mecha (MCA) Weapons

Each MCA has a wide variety of powerful weapons at its disposal. Most of them make really big explosions :) No weapon (except maybe the Energy Blade, et al) is worthless. Every one can be very effective in the right hands.

Weapon	Max Ammo	Uses
1-Energy Blade	unl	Not much; these hand weapons are slightly different for each MCA (this is the Enforcer's)
2-Pulse Rifle	300	Shoots as small particle that bursts on impact; quite useful vs. foot soldiers
3-Laser Cannon	200	It does decent damage--if you have time to aim
4-Spider	50	Shoots timed projectile; wide blast radius; quite slow
5-Bullgut	100	Ye olde quad-firing rocket launcher
6-Sniper Rifle	400	Has a scope for long distance accuracy
7-Juggernaut	50	Like having your own personal howitzer
8-Shredder	200	Fires slightly smaller rounds than Juggernaut, but it shoots more quickly
9-Red Riot	10	The biggest and baddest of Shogo weaponry; one shot is like a nuclear explosion

A.T.'s Favorite Weapons

I admit it. I love the Bullgut. Watching the Bullgut fire is worth the price of Shogo alone. Just don't use it in too close of quarters. I use the Pulse Rifle quite a bit. It is very effective against ground troops, tanks, parked cars, etc., and the ammo is everywhere. The Sniper Rifle is great for sneaking up on MCAs from a distance. Use its scope (hit "6" again to zoom in) for greatest accuracy.

The various hand weapons for the various MCAs are: Ordog-Mono Knife, Enforcer-Energy Blade, Akuma-Katana (sounds like a Lion King song), Predator-Energy Baton.
