Mechwarrior 3 Codes -

Easy salvage:
Blow the legs off a mech, rather then the torso. Or, better yet, use a head shot.

Easy head shots:
Salvage a "Clan Targeting Computer" and equip it on your mech. Then target a mech's head and fire a large pulse for a one hit head shot kill.

Easy kills:
Blow off one leg of a mech. Since a mechs legs are much weaker then the torso, it makes killing enemy mechs much easier.

Safe ammo storage:
Put your ammunition on the arms when you build a mech. Normally, when your arm gets blown off, the items in it are also gone. However, this is not the case for ammunition.
