The two guaranteed spawns I know of are both part of the DLC quest lines.

The House Davion one, where you rescue the noble's daughter. Final mission has a MAD-4A appear as part of the Shadow Lance for the final objective. Mission ends with you gaining the Hero Victor.

The House Steiner one where you need to stop a nuclear device from detonating. Final mission where you storm the beachhead with allied Steiner units, and need to work your way up the ridge to silence the artillery and deactivate the device. That mission will also spawn a MAD-4A as part of the forces opposing you on your way up the ridge.

Both missions are high rep, 400 tonnage drop limit affairs. Be ready.

EDIT: I looked them up in my MW5 log. The two missions are called 'Bring Her Home' and 'Stop The Launch'.

Were you able to take them as salvage though? I did both of those missions and they did not appear as salvage and they also didn't appear in the friends campaign as salvage.

Can not any mech spawn randomly in a mission?

Mad 2? No never encounter it in random mission, but it will be quite often appear in Steiner area as rare sold mech.

I was able to salvage it; though the option for a couple T5 UAC/5s also appeared so..

You may need to wait quite a while for the year to be right. I made a Rasalhague career and less than 2 years later I found a pristine MAD-4A in a Kuritan hub. The lucky rare mech roll may have skewed this experience a lot though.

No - only when someone asks about clan stuff - like where's my Mad Cat - just like old times in the BT forum!

You can, I did. The problem is that you have quite a few hoops you need to jump through, not all of which you can control. To start you need high reputation with Davion/Steiner to get as much Salvage as you can during negotiations. Then you need to pummel the Marauder II into the dirt before finishing it off in order to tank it's salvage cost (just coring it will probably leave a 45+ wreck). After that you need to pray to RNGesus so that he deigns to allow the defeated MAD-4A to populate the salvage loot table at the end of the mission.

yep what he said, trying to start a 2nd playthrough but my game keeps crashing as there's atleast 3 you come across in the DLC missions, looting in general depends on how you kill it...atleast how you kill it pushes up your odd's of getting it.

if i remember correctly headshot is highest chance of loot, legs 2nd highest, core lowest and if it blows up yea that's not gone show up.

had 1 great chance to get one but put all my shares in to money instad of loot as i wasn't expecting it, it was quite messed up so only 33 shares, loaded infront of the mission did some sucking up to the guys and headshot him as soon as he came out....48 shares >.> which was still to much. so you need to mess him up, but not so much that you accidentally blow him up when you try to headshot it or disarm it. (my weapon of choice for headshots tends to be 2 gauss rifles strapped to a king crab, once your familiar with where exactly the projectiles will hit it's reasonably quick and ez to wack there head off)

did some looking after i reached max rep but never came across one in a shop or mission so time for a 2nd playthrough maybe do a campain to become buddy's with everyone and then import it to a career to hunt the illusive MAD-II

New forum new rules.
Drinking was also never exclusive to "Where Muh Mad Catz" threads as well on BT. That said I never got round to publishing the full drinking game.

[Blood of Kerensky]

"Where is my MadCat?" what a vomit inducing question. Surats claiming it's theirs, but we made it and it's called Timber Wolf.

[CrimsonSyn]

[CrimsonSyn]

[Evil Nox]
