[edit] Description
The Packrat is a speedy eight-wheeled vehicle that is designed for deep infiltration and sabotage. It is capable of carrying a squad of infantrymen and their gear, and, in a pinch, the interior can be modified into a sleeping area.
[edit] Armament
The Packrat is armed with a Harvester SRM-6 and a pair of Flamers for anti-infantry work. Despite this firepower it normally uses its high speed to evade combat, as its role is not to fight head-on.
[edit] Variants
- Pack Rat Gespenst - Developed by Loki the Pack Rat Gespenst is protected by Vehicular Stealth Armor, a Bloodhound Active Probe, and an Angel ECM Suite. Equipped with an XXL Fusion Engine increases ground speed to 96km/h. Limited Amphibious Equipment and Environmental Sealing protect the crew from hostile environments, and a four ton battle armor compartment prohibits the use of any weapons.[1]
