For weaponry, the ''Hellfire'' utilizes an array of heavy lasers. At medium range, a [[Series 4D-2]] [[Heavy Large Laser]] and twin [[Series 7JA]] [[ER Medium Laser]]s are the go-to weapons. The armament excels at short range, when two [[Series 6A]] [[Medium Heavy Laser]]s and two [[Series 14 k. II]] [[Heavy Small Laser]]s can be brought into play. The most significant different between the testbed and final refit models is the addition of three [["Longbow" III]] [[LRM-10]] launchers to provide some ranged firepower. Though the heavy lasers are inherently inaccurate, the incredible damage output makes this 'Mech feared. Seventeen [[double heat sink]]s are woefully inadequate to keep heat levels under control, so [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] must take extreme caution.<ref name=TRO3067p120f/> <ref name=FMCC-188/>

To carry such a heavy loadout, the ''Hellfire'' uses a smaller engine than the ''Lupus'', so it only has a top speed of 65 km/h. Though originally intended to retain the ''Lupus'''s 300-rated engine, [[Kappa Provisional Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Kappa Provisional]] [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Jenica Turgidson]] who was overseeing development insisted on a smaller engine, arguing that as the ''Hellfire'' was intended for defensive roles it needed firepower ahead of speed. She did agree to the inclusion of [[MASC]] for quick bursts of extra speed to close with or retreat from the enemy. The ''Hellfire'' mounts nine tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor.<ref name=TRO3067p120f/> <ref name=FMCC-188/>
