You can trigger a Hardframe Battle Mech by upsetting and fighting Sentinel forces. Once the Hardframe arrives, be wary of its ability to rocket into the sky and its flamethrower. Generally, these can be easy to get around as long as you keep your distance and stay moving while chipping away at the mech's health with your gun.

While Hardframe may just seem like another enemy to avoid, you want to fight them to get a hold of mech upgrade modules. These can be used on your own mech to make them more powerful and are well worth getting into fights for. You can also get a Hardframe Engine drop from the enemy, which is a needed crafting ingredient in Sentinel Hardframe Legs.

I start my day by exploring Teyvat in Genshin Impact and end it after reorganizing my apartment in Final Fantasy XIV. I am a diehard fan of N64 era games and will forever feel betrayed that Megaman Legends didn't finish. Outside of gaming, I have spend my time collecting manga, collecting anime figures, and watching anime with my naked cat.
