While Mecha Break shares similarities with other mecha games like Armored Core in its combat style and mechanics, it’s better classified as a hero-mecha shooter. In this case, the "heroes" are the game's Strikers - a diverse roster of mechs, each with unique abilities, use cases, and synergies. With that in mind, this guide will break down how to unlock Strikers in Mecha Break and outline ways to speed up the process if you're after a specific one.
How to Purchase New Strikers in Mecha Break
All Strikers in Mecha Break - except for the free one you start with - can be purchased from the Hangar Bay in the main menu using Matrix Credits or Corite. To do this, navigate to the "Switch Break Striker" button, as shown in the image below, where you'll find a full list of available Strikers.
Before making a purchase, you can test out any Striker in Training Mode to get a feel for its abilities and playstyle. However, each one comes at a cost. Below is a breakdown of their prices:

How to Earn Matrix Credits and Corite for Striker Purchases
Strikers can be purchased using either Matrix Credits or Corite, both of which can be earned through specific in-game activities.
Matrix Credits (Free In-Game Currency)
- Matrix Credits are obtained by completing challenges and opening Supply Crates, which are rewarded for mission completions. The fastest way to grind for these credits is by activating specific missions in the Hangar and completing them while playing. These missions offer a significant boost in rewards, including Matrix Credits.
Corite (Premium Currency)
- Unlike Matrix Credits, Corite cannot be earned through regular gameplay. However, hovering over the Corite counter in the upper-right corner of the main menu reveals that a currency exchange system will be introduced in the future. For now, Corite can occasionally drop from Supply Crates, though these drops are extremely rare.
That’s everything you need to know about unlocking all available Strikers in Mecha Break, along with tips on how to farm the currency needed to purchase them. Enjoy spending those hard-earned Matrix Credits, and we'll see you all in Mashmak!
