Ghost weapons:

Customize a mech so the weapons onboard in an online

Mgun LRM-5
LRM-5

The first LRM-5 will be duplicated between the
second LRM-5, and take up no mass or critical.
It will be invisible, but will do damage when
fired and create heat. Note: You have to be in
"chain fire" mode. The weapons can be changed,
but the number of weapons must be uneven and the
last weapon must be on the right side of your mech.

Ghost ammunition:
-----------------
Place your ammunition in the arms of a mech in an
online game. If your arms explode before that
ammunition is depleted, there's a 75% chance that
that it will become unlimited "ghost ammo".

Hide in a building or mountain:

To hide in a building or mountain, jump jet forward
then shut down before hitting the wall.
Note: You must continue to hold the jump jet
forward key after shutdown.

Stealth kills:
--------------
If an enemy mech is on the other side of a wall,
ram into the wall and zoom in. You will be able
to see and shoot through the wall. Note: This trick
works with mountains and other walls that can not
be destroyed.
