Overlaid on the Starmap of the [[Inner Sphere]], red-outlined '''Conflict Zones''' are regions where [[MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries]]' various missions can be found. They are more prevalent on and in proximity to the borders of the [[Great Houses]], though the [[MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries#Heroes of the Inner Sphere|''Heroes of the Inner Sphere'']] DLC adds several zones in the interior areas where Pirates and Periphery factions are more present.
  
Repairs and modifications take longer and are more costly in Conflict Zones compared to Industrial Hubs. They also have reduced selections of equipment and damaged 'Mechs to purchase and there are no available pilots to hire; however, Conflict Zones do occasionally have Black Markets, marked in purple, which often feature rare or more pristine options than usual for the region.

Each Conflict Zone has an indicated Reputation level as a sign of the level of reward and difficulty for the contracts within. The Reputation Level of the various zones generally increases in a clockwise progression around the Inner Sphere, with the lowest Reputation zones being in [[Federated Suns]] territory and the highest in [[Draconis Combine]] territory. The difficulty levels of the Conflict Zones are static; leaving and returning will reset the available contracts but will remain at the same difficulty and tonnage levels.

Overview[edit]

Overlaid on the Starmap of the Inner Sphere, red-outlined Conflict Zones are regions where MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries' various missions can be found. They are more prevalent on and in proximity to the borders of the Great Houses, though the Heroes of the Inner Sphere DLC adds several zones in the interior areas where Pirates and Periphery factions are more present.

Available contracts are listed above the name of each system within a Conflict Zone, with Campaign Missions and High Reward Quests highlighted in yellow. Repairs and modifications take longer and are more costly in Conflict Zones compared to Industrial Hubs. They also have reduced selections of equipment and damaged 'Mechs to purchase and there are no available pilots to hire; however, Conflict Zones do occasionally have Black Markets, marked in purple, which often feature rare or more pristine options than usual for the region.

Each Conflict Zone has a Recommended Reputation Level as an indication of the degree of difficulty and reward for the contracts within. The Conflict Zones are static; leaving and returning will reset the available contracts but will remain at the same difficulty and tonnage levels.

Campaign Mode Conflict Zones[edit]

The following Conflict Zones are available during the Campaign, appearing as soon as they player travels to their respective location on the Inner Sphere Starmap. The Campaign Missions and High Reward Quests only appear once the required reputation level or Campaign progression is reached.

The reputation level of the various zones generally increases in a clockwise progression around the Inner Sphere, with the lowest Reputation zones being in Federated Suns territory and the highest in Draconis Combine territory.

Mercenary Row (Reputation 3)[edit]
