Looking at all the dlc, which is the best one to get with the sale?
Anything head and shoulders better than the others?

If the question is about to buy only one dlc and wait maybe a half year for the enxt sale
Then it is gonna be Solaris Showdown, the most iconic location

I've tried the first 4 dlcs and can say, that Call to Arms is the worst one

if you are only getting 1 it should be heroes of the inner sphere for career mode.

Thanks, I'll try to pick up both!

heroes of the inner sphere

Yeah, definitely Heroes of the Inner Sphere. It adds 7 new mech chassis, whereas all the other DLC just add 1 each.

Career mode also acts as a NG+, which allows you to carry over mechs from previous saves into DLC campaigns if you've already passed the time frame where those normally start.

Also there's the fact that it allows specific starts for DLCs, so you can jump right into those rather than having to wait until their in-game start date all the way from the start of the campaign.

The answer is always HOTIS first. It adds too much content, including the cantina and the career mode, and mechs + missions.

Beyond that - it starts getting a little less clear, depends on what you want. But always HOTIS first
Does Heroes of Inner Sphere introduce mech upgrades?

you mean the upgrades tied to cantina missions? if so then yes.

I've played add-ons long ago
And rember, that mech could be upgraded, for example you could upgrade LRM range.
Can't remember wether it goes from Cantina or standalone

Like already said, HotIS gives you the most. But tbh, I'd recommend getting all of them.

I bought all the DLC when I first bought the main game. Solaris came only this year and I haven't bought it because of so many bad reviews saying this game crash. Is it safe to buy it now?

I think it is safe, gonna buy all dlcs tonight on sale.
Heard Solaris may crash with Options -> Graphics -> RTX ->"Ray Tracers" -> On
And making it OFF solves the problem. "Ray Tracers" itself is a redundant option, imo.

But I dont have Solaris atm, so other people please help.

Just to chime in and confirm what the majority is saying: HOTIS should be the first priority. Then, I'd say, get the Rasalhague DLC because it adds rival mercs events (with the possibility of snatching a good Marauder II from the Wolves) and nice bounty hunter bonuses. Next is Kestrel Lancers - adds a decent bunch of stuff. Everything else is mediocre at best.

I picked it up when it was bundled with Heroes of the Inner Sphere, and Kestrels lancers.

Was not disappointed.
