Story background:

The AMC Squad is a paramilitary group formed by a man whose identity is unknown to all but a select few in the EDF and EAF. Using funds from both agencies, he hired an old friend to track down 7 of the best and most skilled fighters in the Solar System, after the disappearance of Earth's greatest hero. This squad was formed to tackle the most severe threats to Earth's safety, including fighting off the notorious Cycloid race of aliens. However, they inadvertently set into motion a sequence of events that dramatically increase the scale of conflict, and they must soon deal with a threat that is new to even the most supernatural members of the team.

Can you fight as the AMC Squad, and take care of this threat? Will you scour the battlefield, find and acquire research and equipment and tackle the threat strategically, or simply run in guns blazing? Will you choose to play as Sangluss, a warlock with great power who overcame a dark past? Or as Merlijn, a knight from Holland who wields ancient weaponry to deadly effect? As Mikko, the cybernetic leader of MS Corp industries, who brings a range of deadly and hi-tech weaponry to the battlefield? Or as Highwire, who relies only on his good old-fashioned military rifles, and a trusty bottle of Vodka?

Whomever you choose, be prepared for the fight of a lifetime.

Introducing AMC Squad 4.5 Interim release!

AMC Squad 4.5 Media Pic

Welcome to another surprise release! We took a very brief break from episode 5 and decided to push a big update to the existing release, with a huge swathe of improvements! Download AMC Squad 4.5 right now, and read on for the new features.

  • Projectile Bullets; Enemies no longer fire hitscan bullets, but projectiles - not only does this make where gunfire coming from significantly easier to determine, it also makes fights far more visually interesting.
  • Overhauled Gameplay balance; there are far more ways to earn resources. You can now directly purchase ammunition and any speciality ammo from weapon terminals, as long as you have the supplies to do so. You can also find and air lift supply barrels found throughout the game! Many weapons have received tweaks to make them more useful and viable throughout all of AMC Squad.

AMC Squad Episode 1

  • Updated Research Terminal; the research terminal has been completely overhauled and is far easier to use, with filters to easily find what you're looking for. Tech level is also no longer a hard requirement; you can research a project at any point - but if you're under the minimum tech level, it'll cost more to research. The opposite is also true; projects become cheaper the more tech level you have.
  • Bestiary system; AMC now has an extensive Bestiary for you to fill - not only will it reveal interesting information about the enemies you battle, it's also directly tied into the research system now. With a simple click you can find out what enemies you need to hit with the MIA gun to research a project! Not only this, but with the precog system base upgrade you'll be able to see exactly what enemies you might encounter in a mission.

AMC squad episode two

  • Dynamic airstrike and air supply system; originally a simple scripted system, you can now pull out the AMC PDU whilst outside and order an air strike or an air drop - at a supply cost. You'll only be able to do this if an Airfield is within distance of the mission's location, so make sure you keep on top of purchasing air fields and other upgrades wherever possible.
  • Loadout icons that will help you find out what a weapon is effective against; put together a loadout that caters to the mission you're going on with far more ease!

AMC Squad Episode three

  • More music! Our musician HiveBoSs has created over a hundred tracks of music, replacing existing borrowed music. All of the EDF missions have unique music now! You can find the OST on HiveBoSs' YouTube channel here: Youtube.com
  • Even more features; more Chibis to find, base customisation, new FMVs, new weapons, new enemies - even if you've already played AMC Squad, there will be something new for you to see in AMC Squad 4.5!

If you enjoyed AMC Squad, please spread the word for us! We're growing in size and exposure but still flying under the radar of many people; "Why have I never heard of this?!" is a common phrase thrown around by people playing AMC for the first time.

So I got a question in regards to the latest 4.5 release. Are all of the classic soundtracks gone now like IE Corona Radiata from the Welcome to Millhaven level? If that is the case then that is extremely disappointing news to me. If that is true, I strongly suggest that you should keep both tracks in there and make it a togglable option in the settings menu in the next update. Corona Radiata and the other NIN tracks gave this mod a ton of atmosphere. It's on the same level of Afraid of Monster's Aphex Twins soundtracks interlaced with ambience imho.

It's done with the PDU in a level; switch to scan mode, than toggle with the right-mouse button to select air drop or supply drop (Didn't have time to put this in a tutorial section)

I think i got the pickups.

But i don't think any of the developers are going to tell me where to find the files where i can edit the temp weapons' max ammo and pickup amounts.

it's not a easy solution, you'd have to go through the item code file and change them all manually
