Tired of seeing your mech blend into the metallic crowd? In Mecha Break, the Striker you pilot is more than just a war machine-it’s a blank canvas for your wildest ideas. Whether you want a sleek, sinister style or something that pops with color and flair, Mecha Break’s customization system gives you the power to truly stand out in every battle, all without spending a dime.
While you can’t get your hands dirty with grease by conducting extreme internal modifications, it’s possible to make your mecha literally shine on the battlefield by adding special paint or seasonal patterns.
In this guide, we explain how to customize your mecha and unlock more cosmetics in Mecha Break.
How to customize your Striker in Mecha Break
To customize your Striker in Mecha Break, start by heading to the Striker Bay tab from the main menu, then select the Striker Design option to access all visual modification features. Here, you can personalize your mech using a variety of tools: apply different paints to recolor specific parts or the entire body, add patterns and insignias as decals, adjust accents for finer highlights, and swap out skins for broader style changes. While cosmetic choices don’t affect gameplay, they offer substantial freedom, allowing you to mix and match colors, patterns, and details to make your Striker truly your own. All changes are easily accessible, and you’re free to experiment or reset your designs at any time.
To customize Strikers, head to the Striker Design menu in the Striker Bay tab. This is where all the visual modifications happen. For stat-based changes, you’ll want to use mods, a specific kind of customization that alters the mecha’s attributes only during Mashmak mode.
When changing the appearance of your mecha, there are five different menus that allow you to modify certain visual aspects in the Striker Design menu:
- Skin: Completely change the visuals of specific parts of a Striker.
- Paint: Use paint options to dye the body of the mecha.
- Pattern: Place a decal on a predetermined location on the mecha’s body.
- Insignia: Unique symbols that work as badges, indicating your achievements.
- Accent: Change the color of small details on the Striker’s body.
The paint option is the one you will likely spend most of your time changing when customizing mechas. You can dye the whole body at once or work on specific parts of the body, such as painting only the arms or weapons.
When applying a pattern, you can choose which part you want to display the decal on, but you can’t have more than one equipped. On the other hand, you can place up to five insignias on the body wherever you want.
As of writing this, skins only change certain parts of a Striker, like its wings or weapons. None of the skin options change the full mecha. The game doesn’t offer complete sets of skins.
If you didn’t like the changes you made, you can always reset the Striker’s visuals to default for free. You can also have up to three slots to save custom designs for each Striker in the game. The first slot is free, but you’ll need to unlock the other two by paying 2,000 Mission Tokens each.
How to get more cosmetics in Mecha Break
To get more cosmetics in Mecha Break, the best approach is to play Mashmak mode, where you can earn paint kits and other cosmetic items by successfully completing extraction missions and looting downed enemies. You can also use Mission Tokens earned from various game modes and challenges to purchase skins, patterns, and other customization options from the in-game shop. For those willing to spend real money, the premium currency Corite allows access to exclusive seasonal cosmetics. Additionally, participating in special events, Twitch Drops, and completing daily or weekly challenges can reward you with unique cosmetic items to enhance your mech’s appearance.
If you want to expand the list of cosmetics you have, there are a few options.
The best – and cheapest method – allows you to acquire special paints for free. By playing Mashmak mode and going on extraction missions, you might find paint kits to be looted from enemies’ bodies. Opening one of these grants you a random special paint to dye your mecha.
As with all the other loot you find in Mashmak mode, you can only open paint kits after you have finished the mission by using one of the Extraction Points. Doing so will make all the materials and paint kits appear in your inventory, where you can use them to grab your new rare colors.
To obtain more skins and patterns, you can spend Mission Tokens, which you earn by playing the game. In the “Logistics” tab, you can see all the seasonal patterns and skins available to buy. You also have the option to spend these same tokens on a Supply Crate, a lootbox that gives you a chance to obtain the current-season skins and patterns – but only if you’re lucky.
What are the best tips for unlocking hidden cosmetic options in Mecha Break
To unlock hidden and rare cosmetic options in Mecha Break, focus on several gameplay activities and smart resource management:
-
Grind Mashmak Mode for Lootable Cosmetics
-
Play the Mashmak PvEvP extraction mode frequently. Here, downed enemies can drop “paint kits” and Pattern Crates (especially purple rarity). Make sure to successfully extract to keep any found items. Collecting 100 Pattern Crates can unlock highly sought-after outfits like the Mechanic set.
-
-
Earn and Spend Mission Tokens Efficiently
-
Mission Tokens are earned through almost any gameplay-Operations, Mashmak, Ace Arena, and especially daily and weekly challenges. You can use these tokens in the Logistics > Matrix Selections tab to buy new skins, slots, and outfits at no real money cost. Save tokens for limited or hidden cosmetics that rotate in and out of the shop.
-
-
Watch for Limited-Time Events and Twitch Drops
-
Mecha Break frequently offers exclusive cosmetics as rewards for participating in seasonal events, completing specific challenges, or claiming Twitch Drops by watching official streams and linking your game account. These events are time-limited and often award items unavailable elsewhere (e.g., special insignias or accessories).
-
-
Monitor the Seasonal and Premium Stores
-
Check the Logistics tab’s Seasonal Sets and Cosmetics sections regularly for time-limited or rare outfits, though many of these require Corite (premium currency). Free rotation items can appear here, so visit often to catch them.
-
-
Daily Logins and Account Linking
-
Some hidden cosmetics, like unique accessories or insignias, are occasionally granted for login streaks, linking your email or Discord, or being an early player.
-
-
Community Economy Strategies
-
If playing in regions with an auction house (Polished/Asia servers), consider selling duplicate rare cosmetics you find in Mashmak for Corite, or buy hidden gems when prices dip. Community forums often share up-to-date routes and drop patterns for efficient farming.
-
Key Tips:
-
Always prioritize extracting in Mashmak rather than going for more kills/loot, as all cosmetics are lost if you fail to extract.
-
Stack your gameplay around completing multiple daily and weekly missions to maximize Token gain.
-
Stay active during big updates, since major in-game events frequently grant exclusive cosmetics for participation.
-
Engage with the official Discord, Reddit, or Steam forums to learn about secret cosmetics, event timings, and Twitch Drop schedules.
Unlocking hidden cosmetics in Mecha Break is about perseverance, smart farming, and keeping up with in-game events. Consistency in daily/weekly objectives-and a sharp eye on limited-time drops-will build your unique style over time.
What’s the fastest way to earn Mission Tokens for cosmetics in Mecha Break
The fastest way to earn Mission Tokens for cosmetics in Mecha Break combines completing daily and weekly missions, focusing on high-yield game modes, and leveraging special boosts:
-
Complete Daily and Weekly Missions: Accept up to six missions in the lobby, which are often simple and grant direct Token rewards. Prioritize the weekly missions for the largest payouts.
-
Play Extraction-Based Modes: Consistently extract from Operation Storm: Mashmak, which not only gives base Mission Tokens for participation and extraction but can bonus tokens from Corite Ore pickups and extractors. This mode is currently regarded as one of the most efficient Token farms if your extraction rate is high.
-
Maximize Token Gains with Matrix Contract: Buying the Matrix Contract (the battle pass) grants a persistent 200% boost to all Mission Token earnings from every mode. If efficiency is your priority, this is the single biggest acceleration mechanism.
-
Participate in Limited-Time Events: During events like Ace Conquest, you can rapidly accumulate hundreds or thousands of Tokens for completing event challenges and daily logins.
-
Log in Daily: Collect sign-in bonuses, as these often give Mission Tokens over time, especially during launch windows or special weeks.
By stacking daily/weekly objectives with high-yield modes like Mashmak and a Matrix Contract boost, you will dramatically accelerate your Mission Token haul-enabling rapid cosmetic (and mech) unlocks. Note that Mission Token earnings cap weekly at 6,000, and unused Tokens expire each season, so optimize your play during intensive periods for best results.
