Mech Weapons Platform

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The Mobile Weapons Platform (MWP) skill is focused on the weapons mounted to your suit. Each B.E.A.S.T. suit is equipped with three weapon slots: small, medium, and large. Depending on your situation, you can outfit each slot with one of two weapons:

Small slot (on the wrist) can take either a wristblade or a shield. A wristblade focuses on stabbing attacks in melee range, while a shield provides protection for yourself and your allies.

Medium slot (on the shoulder) can take either a netlauncher or a minigun. The netlauncher is focussed on entangling and hindering your opponent, while the minigun provides room suppression and covering fire.

Large slot (on the forearm) can take either a missile launcher or a railgun. Missile launchers provide wide-spread damage to those in the room, while the railgun provides powerful single-target damage to foes near or far. Use the MWP command to check and change your loadout.
