[edit] Description
Conceived as a test-bed for a future OmniMech, the Arctic Wolf is produced on Arc-Royal by Clan Wolf-in-Exile. Like the Pack Hunter, some materials used in the design were obtained from the Kell Hounds, though the design in Clan-tech is every way that matters. This fast medium 'Mech is designed to close quickly and unleash over forty short-range missiles at an opponent before withdrawing just as quickly. The ten double heat sinks can be overwhelmed, but only if a MechWarrior insists on staying in the fight for going full-tilt for long periods. The Arctic Wolf is protected by six tons of standard armor.
[edit] Armament
The design of the Arctic Wolf is simple: get close, unleash a torrent of missiles, and get out. To do this, it is armed with six Type 1 SRM Six-Shooters and two Type 1 Cross-Pattern SRM-4 Launchers. Aiding the accuracy of these missiles is the Tracker Series Narc Missile Beacon. The Arctic Wolf also boasts an impressive four tons of ammunition for its launchers.
[edit] Variants
Arctic Wolf 2 - The one variant replaces the SRM-4s and two SRM-6s with an Alpha Series Large Pulse Laser. This gives the 'Mech some long-range capability and provides it with a punch weapon, as well as increased accuracy and a reduction on ammunition dependency. BV (1.0) = 1,207
