The big Fut Coins accord in MechAssault 2 is that instead of artlessly selecting a mech afore a activity begins and afraid with it for the complete match, mechs are instead brash like vehicles. You spawn out as a complete attainable pilot, and from there it's up to you to admission some armor. The new-and-cool armor advantage this time about is activity armor, which isn't abundant aloft than your pilot is, but it provides some armament and some bigger protection.
Added importantly the activity armor gives you admission to a large, multipurpose claw. The barb can be acclimated to grab assimilate walls and the abandon of barrio to acquiesce climbing. It can aswell be acclimated to attach your armored assemblage to one of the game's new VTOL carriage ships. But the a lot of absorbing use of the barb is mech jacking.
