BattleTech (Video Game)/Flashpoints

Overview[edit]

Introduced with the "BattleTech: Flashpoint Expansion Pack" DLC, Flashpoints are a series of stand-alone mini-campaigns for Harebrained Schemes's BattleTech video game. In comparison to the procedurally generated stand-alone missions, Flashpoints are scripted narrative missions that are linked, often forcing consecutive deployments. Each successive DLC pack added additional Flashpoints, with those of "Heavy Metal" being closest to a single integrated story.

Flashpoints were the primary means to provide the famous in-universe character cameos that were achieved stretch goals in the the game's crowdfunding campaign.

Flashpoints are available in both the game's Campaign and Career modes. In the game's story-based Campaign Mode, the Flashpoints appear after the final Campaign mission SHOWDOWN has been completed, but in the story-less Career mode Flashpoints appear immediately on the star map after the players completes their first few contracts.
