Where Are MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Save Files Located?
MW5 Mercenaries save folder on Windows, the Local MW5Mercs Saved SaveGames path shared by all stores.
Last updated
MechWarrior 5 keeps saves in Local/MW5Mercs/Saved/SaveGames across Steam, Epic and Microsoft builds. Piranha confirms the unified path after migration patches moved older Store saves out of Packages. Steam discussions repeat the same address.
The Mods folder sits beside saves inside the install tree, not here. Save editors point straight at SaveGames for mech and C-Bill tweaks. Copy the folder with the game closed and keep mod lists matched. Workshop items sync separately. Co-op guests need matching loadouts to connect cleanly.
