Unlocking basic Fortress Balam?

Got to the mission where you tackle "not Godzilla" with the uber mech... but we haven't been able to unlock it (my friend and I)... how? Anyone got any ideas?

You should be able to get it on hard+ difficulty from stage 1 and onward, if you are looking to get it quickly i would suggest level 14 on inferno as that is one of the easiest levels to get loot on since the ai can solo the level for you.

Meaning, it drops on Normal past Mission 72, and on Hard in between Mission 01 to Mission 36. Just keep pickin' up the green bawxses!

I unlocked it on the console version. It's kinda garbage for fighting anything but Godzilla

What about 2 Air Raiders punching Hectors in the face?

Have you seen how slow it is? You could just have two air raiders shooting it in the face from half the map away instead.

Surprisingly the Hectors have pretty good AI and will kite you in that.

Lame... then what's the point of unlocking Balams? It's not like we can even drop them right off the bat against "Not Godzilla"...

Any Notzilla missions usually have Balams ready for you anyway. Balams don't fare well against... anything else, really. Ants, spiders, wasps, and machinegun fire can melt them rather quickly. And as far as I can tell they're not capable of damaging the walking fortress.
