I am trying to rig a missile support mech and can't seam to find how to add Artemis to LRMs. Where exactly is the Artemis upgrade and how do I attach it?

[Morpheousz]

Artemis is under the "upgrades" tab for the mech. You will then be forced to buy new lrm launchers and weapons, as they are considered different equipment.

[FupDup]

Artemis is found in the same area as DHS, Endo, and FF. When you have it equipped you need to buy new launchers (and ammo) that have Artemis built onto them.

[BourbonFaucet]

When you go to configure your 'mech, select "upgrades" instead of loadout. From there you should be able to purchase your artemis upgrade, it's on the same menu along with Double Heat Sinks, Endo Steel, and Ferro Fibrous armor.

Keep in mind that you'll need to buy new Artemis equipped LRM systems, and the special ammo type to go along with it.

In exchange you'll get faster lock time, and tighter LRM flight patterns when you're not firing indirectly.

Excepting SRM6s, I've found more success in praying to Artemis than upgrading to it.

Aha! Thanks! My first mech heh.

@MadLibrarian, are you saying Artemis on LRMs might not be worth it?

Artemis with LRMs depends on the size of the launchers you're bringing and what you intend to be doing with those LRMs. If you plan on sitting in back like a lump with a Stalker and usually not acquiring your own locks for LRMs then Artemis is generally not very worth it, but if you plan on using a faster mech with less launchers equipped then Artemis can be very useful for the direct fire benefits it gives. The size of your launchers matters too because it's generally a waste of tonnage with LRM5 (and maybe LRM10 as well) due to smaller launchers not having very much damage spread in the first place, although there were some builds floating around (I don't know if they still are) with mechs boating 6x LRM5 with Artemis for super focused damage on center torsos, so that goes to show it can be useful with smaller launchers.
