Howdy mercs,
Beating those reputation 5-8 missions is difficult. The game starts throwing heavy mechs at you, and some assaults. Additionally, it's around the time when most mercs venture outside of their home territory. This means fewer Negotiation points, and tougher missions.

Plenty of newer mercenaries fall into the cycle of barely being able to beat a mission (or outright losing it) and then losing money on repairs and refits.

This is a video guide on how to start the game in career mode, rush to an assault, and then go back and steamroll your way to victory in the mid-game. Long story short: do recon missions, with an average time of about 2-3 minutes, they are super efficient ways to make tons of money early game, with relatively low risk.

My strategy is much more thoroughly written in the last video description, so check it out. (    • Beating Rep 5-8 Missions in Mechwarrior 5 ...   )

Strategy breakdown:

Mods:
Turn off scary tanks and heavier enemy lances! It will make the early game impossible. Turn it on again when you hit that rep 8-10 comfort zone.

Mission types to take:
Raid
Objective Raid
Recon
Battlefield (rep 1-2 only)
Warzone (rep 1-2 only)

Negotiation:
Primarily you want money. Salvage can be good when the game is modded, but wait until your rep is a bit better first.

Once you have about 7 million C-bills, head to an industrial hub closer to Terra (the Inner Sphere center), and don't stop until you get an assault mech.

When you get the assault, customize it:
-Max out armor: your mech will be a the biggest, baddest thing on the field, so be ready to take a beating.

-Ensure you have plenty of cooling, even at the cost of firepower. You will out-damage everything on the battlefield early game, so don't worry about having the most possible weaponry.

-Go back to the rep 3-5 zones to test your new assault out. It may need some modification.

Then head to the 5-8 zones and build up reputation/money to be able to salvage mechs and/or buy another assault mech.

Hope this helps mercs!
