• Fixed a bug where projectile explosions did not destroy nearby destructible.
  
• Fixed a bug in the first wave of one of the "Black Harvest" missions where a Blackjack BJ-1 would often get stuck in the rocks preventing mission progression.
  
• Fixed a bug where the target structure was hidden under terrain.
  

PC

• Fixed unlocking achievements on Microsoft Game Pass PC when not logged into Xbox Live.
  

EGS

• Fixed a bug where the social box didn't appear until you connected online.

• Updated splash screen image.
  

MODS

• The Infantry mod has been uploaded to Steam and EGS.

• Fixed a bug where saving certain BP Assets to a Mod crashed the Mod Editor.
  
• We hope you continue to enjoy MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries and "Heroes of the Inner Sphere", and as always if you have any technical issues or bugs to report, be sure to email [email protected] or contact us in the MechWarrior Discord Server in the appropriate channels.
