Seeing as how we do not have a dedicated sub forums for guides and tips yet. I thought it'd be best for me to leave my mark as a helpful player and help compile a Master list of decent guides. I hope this thread gets stickied as it's better than having numerous guide threads stickied. Yeah, there are only a handful of guides at the moment but I'm sure that number will increase over time so it's better to start now than having to go through a endless number of conflicting guides which may or may not be correct.

Beginner's Guides

An Introduction to Combat in HAWKEN - Author : [HWK]Hugs ( An official guide by a member of the staff himself! This is a basic overview of Hawken's control scheme, mech classes, and match modes )

Hawken Tips and Tricks - Author : ArnieF4440 (Frequenty updated, this whole thread not only contains useful tidbits for beginners and veterans alike but also stats of every item and mech)

H0B0's Youtube videos - Author : h0B0 (A collection of YT videos that gives new players an idea of the mechanics in Hawken's gameplay. Short, concise, and with good music)

Siege How-To - Author : DarkPulse : (A rant guide on how to improve your performance in Siege mode, mandatory read for those pesky lone wolves)

Guide for New Recruits - Author : Marauder66 ( A short but detailed guide great for any beginner )

Guide to the Lore of Hawken - Author : Neverm0re ( Everything we know about Hawken's lore so far, still vague but that will change soon enough )




Item's and Internals Guides

h0B0s guide to Items, internals and wise HC spending - Author : h0B0 ( Explains the methods of use for each item and internals, minor parts are unconfirmed but overall a great read)



Optimization Guides

Essential Optimizations - Author : h0B0 (A must-read for newbies, this guide explains what optimizations to prioritize on and why)



Mech-specific Guides

Cupcake How-To - Author : Tkblack (A brief guide detailing the do's and don'ts of C-class Mech)

Sharpshooter Tips and Tricks - Author : Guiotine ( A basic guide on the infamously difficult to play Sharpshooter Mech)



Graphics and performance-improving guides

How to remove bloom, fog and image grain - Author : JKiro (Self explanatory. No idea what bloom, fog and image grain is? That's also covered here)

How do I see my framerate? - Author : Elix ( He isn't the OP but Elix does answer the question)



Miscellanous

Prestige weapon list - Author : Timber_Wolf (A short list of what prestige weapon is unlocked for each Mech)

Hawken : Genesis - Author : Unknown ( Two short previews of Hawken's upcoming graphic novels, readers also get to benefit from a code that will grant Hawken points )

Promo Codes - Author : The_L1ne ( That's right, get your promo codes through this link)

How to balance teams - Author : h0B0 (Having unbalanced matches? This short guide will fix that!)

Guide to streaming HAWKEN - Author : Rei (Self explanatory, it has pictures too!)


---

Well, that was pretty short. But trust me, the lists will get longer as time goes on. Send me a PM or reply to this thread if you would like a guide to be listed here.

This would be better off in Arnie's Tips and Tricks but I'll add it in anyway. Nice skills, man. I don't think I would ever want to play against you. Haha.

You can add mine if you want, it's just a work in progress list of prestige weapons so people can know what they get when purchasing a mech.
