What is the Mecha BREAK Mashmak PvPvE mode?

This Mecha BREAK Global Storm open beta test is also the first time ever that the Mashmak PvPvE mode can be played by the public. Mashmak features pilots duking it out over the Mashmak Isles. This location holds the largest reserves of Eruptive Inorganic Carbide (EIC) – also known as "Corite" in the Mecha BREAK universe.

According to the lore, the Theia's Vanguard organization recently took control of the Mashmak Isles and have been spreading Corite at a breakneck pace. The constant battles over the region, combined with the rapid spread of Corite, have triggered powerful Corite pulse storms, further pushing the world to the brink of disaster.

Striker pilots now use new equipment to handle these storms, including weapon pickups and weaponized gliders. The latter type of equipment can enhance a Striker's close-quarters combat capabilities, healing, sniping, suppressive fire, and so much more.

That's all for now. Are you excited to become a Striker pilot and take on the Mecha BREAK universe? Stick around on esports.gg for more news and updates!
