Canonicity

This BattleMech was featured in an official BattleTech product, namely the MechAssault 2 series of computer games.

By virtue of being an official albeit not positively canonical product, the game expansion and the 'Mechs presented therein including this one must be considered apocryphal.

Description

The Stiletto medium BattleMech was inspired by and is a variant of the Raptor. The Stiletto has jump jets, which should be used when reaching vantage points, or evading missiles. Lastly, the Stiletto is fast, capable of keeping up with even scout 'Mechs over short distances.

Variants

PPC

There is a variant that uses a PPC instead of the Flamer and some equipment.

Notes

• In an unusual move that goes against the usual BattleTech universe standards 'Mech speeds are expressed in mph rather than km/h, as such the speed figure has been converted to km/h for this article.
• The description of the Reactive Armor Shielding looks very similar to the Ballistic-Reinforced Armor.
