User manual GAMES PC MECHWARRIOR 4 MERCENARIES EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS

[. . . ] FOLLOWING ARE DETAILED default equipment specifications and descriptions for each 'Mech®, weapon, vehicle, and terrain in Microsoft® MechWarrior® 4: Mercenaries. Also included is a glossary of terms and acronyms used in the game. Specs are accurate as of the last ComStar transmission. MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries includes 10 new 'Mechs, and 26 'Mechs from MechWarrior 4: Black Knight and MechWarrior 4: Vengeance. [. . . ] It is among the lightest and fastest of the assault chassis, but it is well-armed, boasting three PPCs in its standard weapons configuration. 11. 0 meters 16 BATTLEMECH SPECIFICATIONS DAISHI CLASS: Clan Assault FAFNIR CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 14. 5 Standard 51 ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 18. 0 Endo Steel 53 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: 100 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: 100 WEAPONS: ER Lg Laser (4), ER Med Pulse Laser (4), Clan LRM 10, Clan Ultra AC 5 (2), Clan MG Array (2) WEAPONS: Lg Laser (2), Med Laser (3), Heavy Gauss Rifle (2) COMPONENTS: None No COMPONENTS: None No JUMP JETS: JUMP JETS: FIELD NOTES: The Daishi is the reigning king of the 'Mechs, easily the most potent force on the battlefield, particularly when firing all weapons at once. Its name is derived from a Japanese word meaning "great death, " allegedly so-christened by the Draconis Combine's criminal underground. Regardless of the name's origins, Daishi is fitting for a 'Mech whose sole purpose is to destroy everything. Although the Daishi was originally Clan technology, the Inner Sphere managed to capture one and now deploys Daishis of its own. 11. 5 meters FIELD NOTES: Borrowing heavily from the design concepts of the Atlas, the Fafnir epitomizes the Lyran philosophy of designing for size and strength rather than finesse. Topping out at 100 tons at full loadout, nearly 20 tons of which is armor, the Fafnir is impervious to all but the heaviest--or luckiest--shots. The Fafnir carries tremendous firepower and makes for an excellent brawler in one-onone combat. It is the only 'Mech to carry two Heavy Gauss Rifles. 11. 5 meters 17 BATTLEMECH SPECIFICATIONS GLADIATOR CLASS: Clan Assault HAUPTMANN CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 18. 0 Endo Steel 57 95 ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 18. 0 Endo Steel 58 95 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: WEAPONS: ER Lg Laser, ER Med Laser (2), ER PPC, Clan Ultra AC 20 COMPONENTS: ECM Yes Lg Laser (2), Sm Laser, Med Pulse Laser (2), LRM 15, LBX AC 20 COMPONENTS: LAMS No JUMP JETS: JUMP JETS: FIELD NOTES: The Gladiator sees common service only with Clan Ghost Bear. It's faster than most other assault 'Mechs while carrying a comparable weapon loadout. An OmniMech, it is versatile, has Jump Jets, and can deliver heavy-duty firepower. Well-armored, it can take a pounding while dishing one out. It's great in a close-combat slugfest or providing fire support from a distance, and it is unmatched in one-on-one combat against anything the Inner Sphere has. 13. 0 meters FIELD NOTES: Based on captured Clan Daishi chassis, the Hauptmann was the first OmniMech designed by the Lyran Alliance. Archon Katrina Steiner christened the new OmniMech the Hauptmann to honor the LAAF's hauptmanns (a rank of commanders). Armed comparably to the Gladiator, the Hauptmann has lots of firepower and makes a good brawler--it can dish out a lot of fire while absorbing lots of punishment. It also has a smaller profile than other assault 'Mechs, making it harder to hit. 11. 4 meters 18 BATTLEMECH SPECIFICATIONS HIGHLANDER CLASS: Inner Sphere Assault KODIAK CLASS: Clan Assault ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 16. 0 Endo Steel 62 90 ARMOR TYPE, TONNAGE: Ferro Fibrous, 18. 0 Endo Steel 52 INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): GROSS TONS: 'MEC INTERNAL STRUCTURE: MAX SPEED (KPH): AK HP RE GROSS TONS: 100 D 'MECH P WEAPONS: Lg Laser (2), Gauss Rifle, Heavy Gauss Rifle IS C LA RE WEAPONS: N AK REQU I ER Med Laser (4), CSMRM 40 (2), Clan LBX AC 20 QU IR E D COMPONENTS: LAMS Yes COMPONENTS: None Yes JUMP JETS: JUMP JETS: FIELD NOTES: The Highlander's brutal bal- listic firepower, coupled with its Jump Jets, make it an ideal city fighter and an excellent command 'Mech for fire lances. The Highlander's beefy undercarriage gives it an advantage when performing the Death from Above maneuver, where one 'Mech jumps atop another. Over the years, this attack has given rise to the expression "Highlander burial, " where the larger 'Mech seems to drive a smaller 'Mech into the earth. *IS 'Mech Pak must be installed to use; cannot be used in Campaign play. 11. 7 meters FIELD NOTES: In the Inner Sphere, little is known of the Kodiak. No complete chassis has ever been recovered from the battlefield. It is believed to be unique to Clan Ghost Bear and used almost exclusively as a command 'Mech. From what has been observed, it is a brutal and fast-moving assault 'Mech with more hardpoints than any other known 'Mech. It has devastating firepower, above average speed, and Jump Jets. Only another assault 'Mech should consider engaging a Kodiak. [. . . ] Capellan Confederation An Inner Sphere state.
