Cant salvage mech from final boss

[Wonderhuzze]

Why I can't salvage this pretty mech in final mission?(
I perfectly removed pilot from it (knocking it down 5 times) and didn't even scratch structure. Sadness and despair.(

[Jemiejemie1[TH]]

Because it's OP King Crab with ridiculous armor and will probably broken the game if you get it. Dude Highlander with Guass Riflw is good enough. imo

You find King Crab and Atlas in non story mission don't worry.

[Prester]

well, basically you are lying.

i knocked him down 3 times, coupled witha destroyed side-torso and random missile headshots incapacitated the pilot and got all 3 parts.

and more important

I already found. And even prepared for final story mission "two heavy lances" both with 2KC, Atlas, Lrm Highlander-support. And 8 maxed out pilots.
For my dissapointment, final missions is just slamdunk for assault lance.

I didnt get parts either, think that guy is lying.

[Prester]

then maybe they patched it out. i got 3 parts kingcrap. i know this since i used that kingcrap from that day on forward

I killed the pilot with stability knockdowns, no other parts destroyed. Did it on purpose to get the mech. But, got zero parts for salvage. It could be a random bug.

Note this is the final campaign mission we are referring to, not any random contract mission.

Yeah I didn't get any salvage from it at all either, had two parts of the crab before I went it in so I just pummeled it without much thought because I only needed one part, I was rather miffed I didn't get even one piece of it

[max_fallout]

Kamea Arano claimed priority Salvage on it, to buried Victoria in it!!!!
😂😂😂

I got 2 peices of crab salvage on the last mission. And if it had super Armor u could have fooled me. 2 shotted it. Was actually pretty disappointed at what a joke the last 2-3
Missions were. Steamrolled the whole
Campaign. Was only challenging when u just had medium mechs....

[Hyregoth]

I was able to get all the parts as well. Must be after the patch or some other thing is going on...

[Rashala]

I've Shot off -JUST the legs and only gotten at max 2 peices of the king crab, though my first time in I did NOT get any salvage from it so It apparently is Random ;/ Gonna have to keep redoing the mission taking out the legs or trying t o get 5 pillot injuries or a head shot on it

[Prester]

killing CT is always 1 part

killing legs is always 2 parts

killing head is always 3 parts

incapacitating pilot is always 3 parts

-> knockdowns with missiles are the best way to get 3 parts

Hers is a different Crab than the one you see in non-story contracts. So even if you'd gotten a piece of salvage, it wouldn't have completed it for you.

Which if they changed it so that it doesn't drop salvage after the patch, that's probably why. So people aren't sitting around on mech salvage they can never, ever complete (unless they got three the first time).

Anyway, I also took out the pilot rather than the mech, and recieved no salvage.
