Meks cannot be tamed and must be crafted in a Tek Replicator, requiring Element to operate; improved blueprints and crafting skill can enhance their performance. As powerful combat mounts, they can deal heavy damage, defend objectives, harvest Element, and knock out large creatures, with attachments providing shields, rockets, area damage, or specialized support. They can also be cryopodded for easier transport and combined into a Mega Mek for major battles. When encountering an occupied Mek, keep your distance, use cover, and avoid engaging at close range, while cannon users should account for shields and ammunition requirements.
