=== Modules === <br /> Every mech will be equipped with a module board that players can plug individual modules into in order to customize the capabilities of their mech. The module board concept is separate from the familiar crit slot and tonnage concepts. The number of module slots available varies depending on the type of mech. Modules are unlocked on the Pilot Skill Tree (more on that later), and purchased in the in-game store using C-Bills. Any module will fit into any mech.<br /> Here is an example module, ''Enhanced Night Vision'': ''Effect'': Increases the detail of objects while in Night Vision Mode at the cost of reduced range. The module instantly takes effect and anytime the player switches to Night Vision, they will see more clearly, but not as far as the default Night Vision mode. ''Cost'': 4500 CB <br /> There are a myriad of potential effects for modules, from enhancing the capabilities of AMS to duplicating the capability of C3 units, to increasing the number of LRMs that strike true on a successful hit. Obviously, there is some speculation here; these are just possibilities. The one thing we do know is that they are trying to avoid interfering too much with the canon abilities of a mech. There will also be modules that are specific to command functions. Some of these will be required in order to issue orders to teammates.<br /> Modules from different trees (for an explanation of the trees, see Mech Leveling, below) can be mixed and matched in any combination the player likes within a mech. The only limitation on the modules you can use in a mech is the number of module slots that particular chassis has available to it. It should also be noted that modules are a piece of hardware, and can therefore only be installed on one mech at a time. So if you have your Enhanced Night Vision module plugged into your Catapult and you want to use it in your Hunchback, you will have to first take it out of the Catapult. Itβs not like you automatically get extra copies for each mech you own. If you get tired of swapping modules around all the time, buy extra copies of the ones you use most.<br />
