* Attention: Click here for the latest MapleStory Mechanic Guide *

MapleStory Mechanics are the 3rd addition of Resistance, representing Pirate branch. Their main town is, just like Battle Mage and Wild Hunter, the Black Wing territory in Edelstein. Mechanics uses Guns as their primary weapon of choice, but they do not use the guns directly. Instead, they are tools used for your mech suit, which you gain as you advance as a Mechanic. Mechanics have fast-paced combat advantages, including a Siege Mode that delivers rapid-fire attacks, simultaneous attacking and healing capabilities and the ability to navigate more efficiently through maps. They also have high defense when in their minion robots and their attacks don’t use up bullets.

Mechanic Notes

A quest called Secret Mech Ability is unlocked at level 15 which allows Mechanics to change the color of their Mech Prototype. Checky (Mechanic NPC Instructor) explains that he has created a new gizmo (Mech Disguise Swap Chip) that enhances Mech Suit but requires funding of 1 million meso. Once you purchase that gadget from Checky, you will be able to change your Mech’s color (1 of 4 color) and also receive a passive beginner skill called Hidden Piece (Damage +10%, MaxHP +10%, MaxMP +10%). You get to choose your Mech’s color for the first time (first 4 on the color palette list). The next time you want to change color, you will be given a random color: Turquoise, Red / Blue / Basic / Green / Lime / Pink / Purple / Yellow / Orange.

Warning:

You will not be able to see any mech color should your current graphic card has no support for Pixel Shader 2.0. The only way to fix this is to purchase and install a new graphic card that supports Pixel Shader 2.0. Download GPU-Z from Tech Power Up to check whether your current graphic card is able to support Pixel Shader 2.0. Once you have the GPU-Z app downloaded and running, look for DirectX Support Listing within Graphic Card Tab. If it lists SM2.0 or higher, it means your graphic card supports Pixel Shader 2.0 which allows you to see the custom Mecha Color Palette.
