Note from Void Smasher in comments:
Almost at the end of the mission there is a drop of an Atlas and a Champion.
That Champion armed with tier 5 weapons: 2 Medium Laser SB, 2 Small Laser SB, Cluster LBX 10.

Some of these weapons may drop separately, but to gain this Champion as a reward you need to deal significant damage to the mech (to match salvage points), destroy both arms, one leg and a cockpit. The weapons are in it's torso parts.

The strategy is to point your subordinates on the Atlas, and when they are done, order them to hold fire. Start with leg to remove Champion's mobility, then deal with it's arms and then aim for the cockpit. Because you will have to tank all of these tier 5 weapons make sure that your mech has enough armor to that point of the mission and your pilot have good defence and evasion skills. Also do not forget to install precission weaponry on your mech - lasers and pinpoint ballistics.

@Sub-Zero I was hoping so too. Especially with the huge influx of new weaponry and components. Sadly that wasn't the case :(

@Dasher112 Done, thanks.

i hope the new Campaign has Red marked weapons and equipment too

You sir are a life saver. I'd have missed the majority of these due to not going anywhere near their locations

Mission 01 ended for me after killing the final dropships. I had already picked up the crate, but may wish to update the marking on it.

Easy to understand and very helpful. The map layouts also prepared me for taking the right mechs for the mission. Thanks!

There is an additional reward in Mission 07: Shielded Withdrawal
