Front Mission 2

Players command squads of Wanzers on grid-based battlefields in turn-based combat. Each machine is assembled from separate body, arm, and leg parts, and damage to those parts directly affects accuracy, movement, and weapon use. The new Link System lets allied units chain attacks on the same target, making positioning and target selection especially important. Outside combat, players advance through story missions, buy parts and weapons, and tune their loadouts to match each map and enemy composition.

Use durable front-line units to absorb pressure while faster mechs flank priority targets. Early in battles, disabling enemy arm weapons can reduce incoming damage significantly; against heavily armored foes, target legs to limit movement. The Link System is strongest when several allies can focus-fire the same exposed enemy, so keep your formations compact enough to chain attacks. Before missions, tailor weapons for range and terrain, with clear roles for long-range support and close-quarters breakers.

Tips and tricks

• Check part durability often and repair legs first if movement is being threatened.
• Bring a mix of weapon ranges for open maps and tight urban stages.
• Use cover and terrain to avoid being focused by multiple enemy units.
